To accomplish this, we have in connection with our At lanta branch a service department, which is not equalled by that of any local motor car branch.

Our service department is ready to serve Oakland owners with courteous and generous treatment at all times. Knowing that Oakland Automobiles represent the BEST motor car manufacturing principles, and are lar in the lead in automobile making and designing, we know that the Oakland is the best buy.

July 29 “if : there nas been any move by local capi i talists to buy the franchise of the Nash - ville Baseball association 1 know nothing * of it,” stated a promiment official of the local baseball organization last night. Little Rock at present seems to be the > only bidder, and their offer of $25,000 has ‘ been turned down in view of the fact that the local club is making one grand effort to retain it. I A vague rumor, was in circulation yes terday-in fact, very vague ty the effect that Nashville would turn down Little ; Rock’s offer and sell the franchise to local ! men so as to retain it for this city. One thing is admitted, however, that > Little Rock can not get the Nashville • franchise for $25,000. it is said that a number of local business men have band- i ed together to purchase the franchise, al though it was stated last night that.no offer, excepting Little Rock's, had been made. . . It is hardly probable that any decision will be reached in the matter until late this week. Perhaps Judge Kavanaugh, president of the league, will straighten out matters while in Nashville. To Decide Here. Positive assurance was given yesterday that Judge Kavanaugh will call a meeting of the board of directors of the Southern league, and pass judgment on the pending protested game between Nashville and Birmingham while he is here. The Vol unteers protested the fray on the grounds that the umpiring was inefficient, causing Nashville to be defeated. Judge Kavanaugh will arrive in Nash ville Wednesday morning and remain here for several days.
