Grant, pf the Kansas, won tho light heavy
weight title. Taylor was too smiling and
did not seem to cnie whether be kept his
belt or not, so the referee stripped him
rf It. Another Interesting bout was the
ane In which "Pop" Draff, of tho Arkansas,
who Is Just a shade under the nge limit,
took on a youngster named Nelman, of
the Michigan, nnd showed that gray hairs
were no sign of a weak wallop by win

Perry's
"TOTING MEN'S NOHFOI.K"
Coat broad and comfort
able across shoulders and
under arms; Inverted pleats
In back abovo and below
fastened belt. A coat for
country club, cafe or com
mercial pursuits.
There's something
that rings so true in the
lines of spontaneous
praise sent us so often
by the wearers of Perry
Clothes, that it would be
unfair both to ourselves
and to you if we with
held their publication
altogether. Such dis
interested testimony is
the kind of tip you may
take at its full face value
And, always, of course,
the original letters are
yours to see for the ask
ing. CThis man writes us:
"The Suit arrived and
fits me perfectly. I shall
be in to see you shortly
for some additional
clothes." Another says:
"I like the snap and style
the Perry Clothes
possess."
C And so on in the same
tenor, by word of mouth
and by mail our thou
sands of friends think
there's nothing like
Perry's!
