In part Fogel says: “As a result of Herrmann's actions as to Tinker, I have been commissioned by Max Fleischmann to try to persuade ’Jeff Livingston to purchase their con trolling interest In the Cincinnati team, in Ui«- event of Livingston purchasing the Fleischmann interest I would cer tainly again have something to say in organized baseball circles.’’ Men Crave Their Beauty And in Atlanta's Cravat Displays you were never treated to a finer show than this season’s exhibit.
