Then I took 14 players who to my certain knowledge, do not drink at all. I jotted down the bat ting and fielding averages of these men, using no pitchers or catchers, for six years, and made a composite KAVANAGH’S jAverage, Here are the figures: Ss ak toes FIELDING 1008 Firet, at Madison.

That sounds funny, doesn’t it? Asking a man if he ever got a full hundred cents in return for every dollar he spent. But stop a moment and con- sider. When you bought your suit last season from some other store than the Hub, it looked pretty good at the start, didn’t it? But did it give you satisfaction for the money you paid for it— did it wear as long as it ought to?—did it hold its shape ?—did it look as good to you every day that you wore it as it did the first day you put it on? Apply the same test to your hats and your furnishing goods. If you felt the least sort of dissatisfaction, try the Hub this season. Begin with a REGAL $15.00 SUIT If it doesn’t please you in every respect—if it doesn’t hold its shape—if it doesn’t wear as it ought to— we will buy it back again at the same price you paid us for it. And the same sound rule applies to everything you buy of us. We are not satisfied with anything we sell to you— unless you are satisfied. Your satisfaction is our biggest asset. Your confi- dence and your good-will are more to us—mean more to us—than the profit on a single sale. And we mean to have and to hold your good-will and your confidence—there’s nothing we won't do within reason to make you satisfied. eH 615-17-19 FIRST AVENUE On the Square, Opposite Totem Pole THE BIG STORE WITH THE LITTLE RENT POOR LARRY GOT LICKED UNDER THE MARQUIS DE TACOMA RULES; HE’S PORTLAND, May 8.—That Marquis de Tacoma, and not ing bout, w coma do not know what a foul looks like,” said King. “We incident.” clares that Bonds’ wallops were responsible. de Queensberry rules prevailed at Tacoma Tuesday night, when Lar ry Madden of Portland was defeated by Joe Bonds in a four-round box- the statement today of Jack King, Madden's manager, 8 anywhere from the knee up, and the officials in Ta- no attention to that match, for it decided nothing.
