and price.

Department now offers the
peak of selection in becoming

see the display as soon as pos
sible. The styles have never been more
effective nor the colors more
charming. Bright shades all

CLEARWATER, Flo. (By the

the finish, Is conservative In dis
cussing his team's prospects.
"Wo will start with about the
same club that wo finished with
last fall," he said. J. E. Cox, the
outfielder we bought from Port
land, bats and fields In a manner
a, to make, me believe he will add
real strength to the team. My in

ond and Mitchell at short nnd
Johnston at third, aro working
splendidly, ,
"The only setback has been in
minor strains. High and Johns
ton are pursing these Injuries. I
will not at this time pass oi my
new pitchers. I will name neither
thft best nor the worst. They may
reverse thomsejves and mo next
week. Hut I will say that'Ehr
hardt, tho player wo obtained from
theCotton States league last fall,
is looking fln this spring and I
expect to us& him as a regular.
'We aro handicapped In our ex
hibition games hy the absence or
our three stnr veteran pitchers,
Vnnce, Crimes and Honk. Dazsy
has just signed hi.s contract nnd
begun to work out with the: club.
But he will soon be ready ns he
came south In mid-winter. Crimes
and Iioak have not reported yet.
They want more money on long
contracts."
