is sure the coming metropolis of the
middle west."

COMMISSION TO
DEFER MEETING
UNTIL JAN. 8
National Base Ball Body
Fixes Date of Session
To Meet Wishes of Presi
dent Heydler.
Chicago, Jan. 2. The national
base ball commission will meet, in
Cincinnati January 8, instead of the
first Monday in January as pre
scribed by the rules, president Ban
Johnson of the American league an
nounced Friday night. The election
of a chairman is to be decided.
"It was inconvenient for Presi
dent Heydler of the National league
to attend a meeting next Monday,"
said Mr. Johnson. "He wrote to
me about it and I communicated
with Chairman Herrmann by long
distance telephone and it was then
arranged for the meeting to take
place January 8."
August Herrmann of Cincinnati
has been chairman of the commis
sion since it was formed in 1903.
Seven of the eight clubs of the
National league at the annual meet
ting last month in New York ex
pressed thefmselves against his re
election. The Chicago, New York
and Boston clubs of the American
League, opposed Herrmann as they
do Johnson as president of their
own league, but were out-voted at
their annual meeting.
The question of awarding third
place money in the American league
probably will be discussed at the
commission's meeting. New York
finished third with Carl Mays, "or
dered suspended by Johnson but re
tained on the pitching staff by vir
tue of an injunction. The games
won, with Mays were thrown out,
would give Detroit third place.

Sweeping Price Reductions
On Our Entire Stock of
Winter' Overcoat
Few clearance sales in tlie history of this store have been softinubual or important
as this one and here is the reason:
Seldom before have we had such immense stocks of good clothes on our hands
as at this date. It is unusual for us but fortunate for you.
Remember, we contracted for these coats six, seven or eight months ago, at prices which rep
resent a magnificent saving, as compared with today's market value. Shortage of labor and materi
als prevented several large shipments reaching us in time for the regular season ami they are now
in stock, when "Clearance" is the order of the day. So there is but one thing to do. Our , policy
demands that all goods must be. sold in the same season for which they were bought hence the
Overcoats must GO!
