WHY THE WASHINGTON CLUB SHOULD WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. 1. Because it is very strong in the pitcher's position and all the players unite in saying that Victor E. Adler's Ten Per Cent Clothing House is the best place im America to secure good clothing at reasonable prices, * 2 Because its catchers are excellent backstops and terrors to base stealers, just as Victor F. Adver'sCloth- ing House Is a terror to old. fogy, high-price dealers. 3. Because its short-stop, although small, is 8 man of great Force in his position. And this should remind the residents of Washington that, although Adler's Prices are low, he sells nothing but good, serviceable material and well-made garments, 4. Because there is s Gladman in the team and thou- sands of glad men in the city because Adier 1 selling good clothing ut a very small figure above actual man- Ufactaring cost. 5, Because its infield is a stone wall from which there is no escape for “liners,” “daisy cutters” and “rattling hits.” It takes fine fieleing as well as hard batting to win games, and the reason why Adier's Ten Per Cent Clothing House is the best place to tuy is be- cause you are always ure of obtaining there the best of clothing at the lowent possible cost. 6 You may say, “Ob, Shaw!" after reading the above, but the fact remairs that if you “strike out” to buy youcan speedily reach the “home plate” of low | prices by coming direct tu Adler's ‘Ten per Cent Cloth- ing House, which tuat most reliable of all umpires, “Public Opinion,” dectares is the place you can safely invest your cash and be certain of obtaining full value for every dollar you expend.
