Furthermore, all special boxlnp shows scheduled to be held in the
J principal cities of the United States are, according to the letter, erased
''from the map. Football games In Pennsylvania will not be lecosnlzed by
..the United War Work Committee, and If they are held home local charity

has been changed and all of the work done by Chairman Dallas has gone
for naught.
Here Is the letter sent by Frederic
. B. Bhlpp:
"My Dear .Mr. Whlttcmore Our
-chairman, Mr. Edward W. Hok, Is Just
In receipt of a message from Dr John
It Mott, of New York, director gen
eral of the United War Work Cam
paign, In which he advises that a few
day ago a meeting of the otllccrs of
our campaign was held In New Yoik
with the national committee in general
charge of tho sports events for the
benefit of this campaign. At this
Bieetlng Doctor Mott says that a clear
understanding was reached on the
following three points:
"First. That there tens to be no
Sunday sports of any dcsciiptlon for
' the benefit of the campaign fund,
t "Second. That no sparring (box
ing) events would he arranged for
excepting In the army cantonments,
where such events would he under
the supervision of (he military
authorities.
"Third. That no sporting or ath
letic events of any hind for the
' benefit of the- campaign fund, in
- connection with w hit It (here would
be admission fees or voluntary of
ferings. ould be scheduled in any
communities having war chests.
"Doctor Mott's message further
states that any sports or athletic
events scheduled In Pennsylvania In
violation of the above-mentioned agree
ment are entirely unauthorized.
"Will you kindly convey the fore
going Information to Mr. Samuel J.
Dallas, who, I understand, under In
structions from the national olllce of
his organization In New York, Is. In
the territory covered by the Philadel
phia Wnr Chest, arranging a schedule
of athletic events for the benettt of
the United War Work fund?"
There Ik Nothinp Doing
In other words. Pennsylvania must
"raise Its nuota of $20,000,000 without
h .tho aid of the sporting public, for I

rV -uhlptlo simnort has been politely de-
t 'cUned, for It would be Impossible to
'i raise money "without admission fees

An elaborate program has been
wrecked and thousands of dollars will
be lost by the fund. In Philadelphia

'There Is one event, however, which
haji been sanctioned by the sports
committee and should not be canceled.
It Is the football game between tne
University of Pittsburgh and Georgia

of the plans, for, with all due respect
to tho able olllcers In the cantonments.
It takes a boxing man to run a boxing
show, the same as It t.ikes a watch
maker to make a watch. Outsiders
are helpless In the pugilistic game,
and anyway, if the shows were taken
away from the big cities, the audi
ences would bo slim and the receipts
less than that.
In Philadelphia, Harry D. Kdwards
donated tho Olympla Club for the
show and James F. Dougherty prom
ised to aid In getting a strong card for
the benefit. Jack Kearns. manager of
Jack Dempsey, said his heavyweight
sensation would bo any man In the
world, and other boers volunteered
their services. A few thousand dollars
would have been derived from this
show, but the receipts would have
been small when compared with those
In New lork.
Over In Gotham, James W. Coffroth
was placed In charge of arrangements
and bt ought from San Francisco for
that purpose. "Sunny Jim" was ar
ranging a strong bill for November 10, i
featuring Benny Leonard and the best !
man In his clas3. Jim Coffey, Hartley I
Madden, Johnny Dundee and many
others were to have appeared, but It's
a safe bet everything will be called off
unless the show Is held In Madison
Square Girden.
Matt Hlnkle had Jack Dempsey,
Lew Tcndler. Jim Coffey, Rattling Le
vlnsky and Matt Urock for his show
in Cleveland on November 22. This,
too, promised to be a financial suc
cess. Every promoter In the United States
was working hard to raise monev for
'he United War Work fund. They
gave up their time to promote the
shows and expected no remuneration,
but were out Just the sime to make
their Individual projects big financial
successes.

It is no wonder that men and young men make
1217 Chestnut Street overcoat headquarters, and
tomorrow, the Seventh Anniversary of the store,
will be a great overcoat day!
THIRTY years ago the William H. Wanamaker Store was
established at Twelfth and Market Streets.
Seven years ago the business was transplanted, to
1217-19 Chestnut Street but, unlike the conditions that usually
surround transplanting, there was no period of retarded growth.
Week by week, month by month and year by year the new
store has grown steadily and attained richer success.
Tomorrow We Will Celebrate Our Seventh
Anniversary By Offering The Finest Overcoat
Stock Ever Contained In Our Store
i
I One hundred thousand dollars worth in our great stocks!
Ulsters, Chesterfields, storm overcoats, box model over
coats and belted overcoats.
Overcoats in vicunas, meltons, friezes, montagnacs, lambs'
wool, rich tweeds and wonderful Aquascutum overcoats from
Regent Street, London.
Overcoats of every kind and description ranging from the
popular price of $25 clear up to $65.
Men and young men who select from this great anni
versary offering of finest Winter overcoats will understand why
the public' (as well as the trade generally) concede the William
H. Wanamaker Store to be the originators of leading overcoat
styles, each new season.
Overcoats?
You never saw sucfy a splendid variety, and the prices are right.
