Hats off to Big Bob, one of the biggest boosters clean sports hae had In this city In I decade Virtually every Important branch of sport was represented at the testimonial. Two Judges, two of the leading baseball men In the game, the world's greatest btcjele rider, ono of the most famous of boxing promoters, a leader In Inde pendent baseball and dozen of enthusi astic supporters, the leal fans were present. Mack Praises Guest Connie Mack, who ha leceived more than one Jolt from the guest, told freely of tho humorous bumps; President Baker, of the Phils, lauded tho contrib utor of "two columns worth dally to tho KtT.io Pudmc I.GoaRR," and Frank L. Poth told of tho good work Mr. Maxwell had dono In independent baseball circles Francis Hhrllch spoke for the fans, tho dally reader, and In one of the "hit" speeches of tho night Informed the bojs congregated on tho tenth floor of the good work accomplished by Mr. Max well's trusty tvpewriter in distributing information about sports and on sports In a sporting vein. Frank Kramer, sprint bicycle cham pion for sixteen ears, 'violated all rules of training for the first time In twenty ear3 to make the trip from Newark to tell the fans of his admiration of tho "Plerce-Arrow truck, with the speed of n Mercedes and the endurance of a Packard record-breaker piloted by a man with the skill of a DePalma." Judge Thomas F. McNIchol, a regular reader, had his first chance to make the acquaintance personally of tho evening's guest. He was so much Impressed that he requested tho committee to place him next to Mr. Maxwell. Frank L. Poth willingly exchanged places. BUI Donovan was not on the plat form. Smiling 'William spoke from the "dugout," but there was no mistaking Wild BUI. He put across it speech with tho same effectiveness ns Ills deceptive curve ball against tho Athletics in 1007.

When work was resumed, thousands of garments that were already cut had to be finished tho great bulk of which came into the mar ket too late to be of any use to those dealers who ordered them. The result was that the manufacturers faced a tremendous loss and had to un load at almost any price. We were splen didly prepared for just such an emer gency and secured nearly 2000 fine, all-wool, hand-tailored Overcoats at a price that enables us to sell them to our customers at the one flat price of $15.00! You can imagine the tremendous demand we are having for them! An hour after opening time this morning our shop was crowded with buyers! Not in 4 years has Phila delphia known such a sale as this.
