BEST SHOW IN TOWN
IS EXTRAVAGANZA AT
THE OLD DUTCH MILL
The snappiest, cleanest and
most interesting show in Atlanta
to-day is that at the Dutch Mill,
is the verdict of the hundreds
who have witnessed th© perfor
mance of “Hello, Bill,” this week.
The chorus especially is good,
the costumes being new, bright
and catchy, while there is not a
prettier bunch of show girls to
be found. They can sing end
dance, and arc as graceful as can
be. It is. indeed, a good show
and worth twice the price of ad
mission.

Fleischmanns Want
To Sell Cincinnati
Club, Declares Fogel
PITTSBURG, Dec. 18. That the
Fleischmanns, who control the major
portion of the stock of the Cincinnati
National League club, and who, in the
past, have dictated the policy of the
team’s management, are disgusted with
the odium that has fallen on the club of
late, was indicated by a communication
received here to-day from Horace Fo-
gel, the former National League mag
nate.
In his letter, sent to a prominent base
ball man here. Fogel declares that the
Fleischmanns are anxious to dispose of
their holdings in the Cincinnati club.
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 the went of Livingston purchasing
the Fleischmanrt interest I would cer
tainly again have something to say in
organized baseball circles.’’

HICAGO, Dec. 18.—How to win|
tl^o love of an heiress in t
rounds -is the adv ice of Pa |
McFarland, heavy lightweight pugi
list, could give all aspiring prize fight-1
ers.
Miss Margaret Loughran. of Joliet, |
the heiress in stion, has enlight
ened the world. She is a tall, pretty|
brunett*.
“Mr. McFarland,” said Miss Lough
ran, “possesses these virtues: He!
doesn’t drink, he doesn’t chew, hal
doesn’t stay out late nights, and he si
nevertheless the most manly man I|
ever saw. I think he is perfect.”
Have you ever seen him in |
fight?”
Not exactly a fight,” sa I
Loughran, “but I’ve seen him box H*>|
always smiles when he hits a man or I
gets hit himself. That's what I J
most about him at first.”
"Do you think prize fighting is bru
tal. Miss Loughran?”
“1 do not,” answered the youngl
woman. “Not the way Mr. McFarland!
fights. T t hink if he had lived a few I
centuries ago he would have been a|
< rusadc r or a champion of tourna
ments.”
“How did you happen to fall inlovej
with him?”
Miss Loughran was silent for a mo
ment. Then she said:
“Father Walsh, a mutual friend.)
brought him to Joliet to box at
charity affair. I saw him in the ring,]
and I thought at the time how r*
markable it would be if a man • "u |
be strong and able, as is Mr. McFar
land, and still be a gentleman in every!
way. 1
“A short while later Father Walsh!
introduced me, and I had my breath J
taken away.
“He was a regular gentleman.”
“Do you admire him most for being|
a strong man or a good man?”
"For both,” Miss Loughran an
swered, immediately.
“When will the marriage take |
place?” -
“In the spring, as my father is I
now and mother is away.”
“Will you be his trainer after that"
“ ‘Love, cherish and obey.’ I guess
the cherish part w r ill include train
