The Store's Order for All Stoek is Based on I ONE the No such a sale has ever been up before, Perhaps no such force has ever been back of a necessity. The Hub Clothing Co. know of no other Clothes than such as are strictly men tailor-made, of latest and best materials, and in styles and shapes so that "the clothes will make the man." Those of the hundreds and thousands that are accustomed to wearing "The Hub" Clothing know that when such Clothes are placed on the market at almost ridiculous prices, it's time to walk fast. The sale is extended to a time satisfactory for adjusting the necessity. There are as yet many hundreds of Men's and Boys' Suits?in fact, almost anything that can be called for. You may buy Hats, Furnishings, Men's or Boys' Clothes, Overcoats, or whatever the store contains.

It would seem that .lluimv Cardner should be llrst in line for a battle with Gans, lf bc wnnjs the Baltlmore man'a game. Gardner has Bhown himself to be a llght.-r of no meau ability, and up to the tlme he lost to Bulllvari, had u atrong r-r clalm on the title than any flghter ln the rlng. It wns Gardner who lowered Buddy Ryan's llag in flfteen rounds at Colma. Ryan ls a dangeroua flghter, and has at one tlme or other beaton nearly every .!:?!? of prominenco ln thc country. Gardner deservos all the credlt he got for lils victory. Then came his defeat at Un- hands of Mlke (Twln) Bulllvjin, nnd then the inf-v.-tir.g between Gans and Sul livan. That strlng of llghts ought to mnke Gans's tiile pretty clear, but there ls ph nty of room for some good scrnpping if the other boyB want to take lt up. lt ghoutd bc remembered thnt Sulllvan's wln from Gardner was only a declsion nt the end of twenty rounds of hard fighi Ing. Al^o that Gardner won from Buddy Ryan only hy a narrow margin In a hard fight. l-"1ther of these boya should bo glvi n n llght wlth Gans lf they want lt. There is no doubt that Gans's great form In tlie llght with Sulllvan was a sur prlse to the country at large. ln his last flghts he showed nothlng Uke work that would lead one to cxpoct a great battle. Sulllvan, on tho other band, hns always ahown himself to be a gnme, dangeroua and conslstent flghter, and thero was consequently no lack of bnckers when he went into tho rlng. Nor was It up to hlm to make any apologles. Ho put up n aplendid llght, but ho was Bimply In front of a bottor man. Gans hud everythlng that wlns a fight. Ile had the head, tho punch, thc speed and tlie clovernoss, nnd ho used nll of them at the rlght time. It wlll take a cracker-Jack to beat hlm ln tho welter welght llmlt. I was tnlking to some one the other day about Fltzslmmons and hls long career in the rlng. Tho dlseussion was on whnt wero tlie probnble causcs of hls long offectlvcneao rrs a ilghter. Of course, the usual argumohts of abstcmlous llv ing, Otc? were handed out, hut . thero was ono rather new otio, and fhdt offers a chance for a good argument. Tho theory advancod was thal Pifg'a long career as a good fighter was due to tho fact thal he did not begln ftghtlng as a professlonal untll ho had reached an ngo when many flghters are retlre.d or retlrng. Now, before you get exeltcd one way or the other on thls proposltlon,' lt would bo a good schenie to look Into It. lt Is true that Fltz dld not begln hls fight? lng untll he wna twenty-elght years old, Ho Is now forty alx (?) whlch means 'that he hns been Iu the game for at least clghtcen years. ln his last fight ho showed wonderful endtirnneo and utamlna, und against nny mnn but a wonder lilte O'Bricn he mlglit have glven a dlfforont tinish to the battle. . lt Is unforunate ln doplng thls thlng but that P1t*8 ls the only exnmplo of a nally great flghter who broke Into the gaino ln liis lato youth, becauao thcro ls no way of maklng good compnrlsons, Fitr. wus certalnly good for a long time, and that explanatlon would seem to nn ?awor ns well as any other.
