TotM America, car about thlnr !? natlona.Uj' known fignrs once told this writer, la th course of an lnterrtew, tbxt In Uxose two things are America's ideals crystalixed. Of aovra be was wrong'. But hid be been present last night at the meeting? of baseball managers called sit the Superior Court buildiag, Hammond, to lay plana for a Twilight League for this city, he very probably should have raised his hand and with the complacent smile of his type, to have chortled, "I told you so." But while the Interest of the dosea men present last night to dlsetissj baseball was) wooed tor a time by the gutleas smiles of the polltlcos. who ever end anon passed out mlnature portraits of themselves and deigned frequent and repeated hand-claps, it was as hastily divorced from the business of the evening when John Millet, Jr., 'presiding as chairman pro tern called the meeting to order and began proceedings that looked beyond the hectic diversion of primary election day and into the golden period of mid-summer, time of the baseball fans and fannesses. The session last night was one purely of organiration. Officers were elected, a couple points were threshed out, and many more were suggested tut left unthreshed. But that will come. Enthusiasm

was there, and with that the men who broached knotty questions are virtually assured of solving them. O'ROniKE TO HEAD LEAGUE. Frank O'Rourke was elected president of the Twilight teague. He hasn't been approached on his appointment yet. But George Hanlon of the Police Department and W. H. Rippe of the Bankers will see hi mand explian the matter. The leaguers want a disinterested party as president. W. J. McAleer, attorney and sportsman, drew down a number of votes for the presidency. Many were deterred from voting; for Mr. McAleer. however, because they feared press of heavy legal dutiea would compel his absence from the city at Inopportune times. Mr. Millet was another suggested for this office. He declined, and in spite of his protest was elected vice-president. M. E. McKay, of the Illinois Bell Telephone Co.. who very agreeably filled the chair of temporary .secretary was elected unanimously to continue In that office. He"ll be treasurer also. SOMETrHTVG ABOTT.

Are You Paying too Much For Your Clothes?

Did you ever stop to think what you paid for in a suit of clothes? Take for example the one you are wearing. There are three factors that made the price MATERIAL. LABOR and SELLING EXPENSE. Selling Expense Boosts Prices 4, If it were not for this last item SELLING EXPENSE a $30 suit would be sold everywhere for $30. in stead of $35, $40 and even $50. The suit you are now wearing contains a number of yards of cloth, worth a certain amount. The trimmings and linings are worth a fixed price. The labor item is a little more flexible and varies but slightly. Markups that Cost You 33y3 Now when we come to "SELLING EXPENSE. we are dealing with the one item in the retail clothing business that is as speculative as the stock market and fluctuates even more. It is this condition that causes a store to MARK UP a suit from 25 to 33'S one month and then turn around and MARK IT DOWN 25 to 333 at the end of the season. It is this condition that is unfair to YOU. There is a RIGHT price for EVERY suit that is sold. And if it is sold at this RIGHT price from the very START, there is absolutely no reason for see-sawing prices.

How We Cut Selling Expense

We sell direct to you and save you the manufacturers business cost over-head wholesale selling expense and wholesale profit and our store is operated ECONOMICALLY, because we carry no accounts, buying and selling for CASH ONLY, and because we maintain no expensive delivery systems, we have CUT "selling expense" to the bone and can offer VALUES that cannot be matched anywhere.

a In a Nutshell

You get exactly the same cloth, exactly the same trimmings, exactly the same workmanship and style, MINUS the selling expease of charge accounts, bad debts, delivry systms and high ovrhad. We make an all-wool suit to your measure as low as

angles will have to be considered. In view of the difficulties which confront the trio o law-maker, as suggested during the meeting last night, it looks as though the participating clujbs wil,l have to adopt a conciliatory policy of give-and-take.

games?

How to arrange an agreeable schedule. The Bankers. work Tuesday and Friday evenings; others work late other eights; some want, some don't want Saturday playing.

Shall professionals be allowed to

play?

What about running in new play

ers? Shall a player be barred who

has been employed by the company he represents for less than 60 days?

Well, those are some of the questions. They can't be settled to

please all the clubs. Every team will have to concede a little bit.

out Johnny Ruhlin, of Michigan City

in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-round bout before the Mishawaka

Athletic club at the Century theater

present showed disappointment at the

little action displayed and implored

Ruhlin to get started. Rostan timed

every move he made, awaiting a chance to slip over a blow that would

count, and when the opportunity arose in the sixth round made the most of it.

Willard ,of Elkhart, challenged the

winner, but Holmes' demand that Rostan guarantee to make not more than 150 pounds was refused by Sig Hart, Rostan's manager.

of the Mishawaka A. C. by William SJtarck, of Mishawaka, who has

since sold out his interests to Johnny McGowan. matchmaker for the club, and that they were in no way connected with the club at that time.
