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

Cleveland Will Not
Join Teds’ in 1914
CLEVELAND. Doc. 18.—There will be
no Federal league team in this city
during the season of 1914 unless some-
tiling unforeseen develops.
Charles X. Zimmerman, former pres
ident of the local club and a member
of the board of directors, said the club
had absolutely failed to secure new
grounds for the coming year, without
which it would be obliged to surren
der Its franchise.
At a recent meeting of the league,
the Cleveland owners were ordered to
obtain a new playing field or give up
their franchise. Zimmerman said to
day :
“We absolutely would not consider
returning to Lun Park next season.
I.ast year’s experience there was
enough other sites are In the hands of
people with whom we are unable to do
business. They can’t see anything we
offer, and we can’t go any higher.’’

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
lute, 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-
bail 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, 1 have been commissioned
by Max Fleischmann to try to persuade
‘Jeff' Livingston to purchase their con
trolling interest in the Cincinnati team.
In the event of Livingston purchasing
the Fleischmann interest I would cer
tainly again have something to say in
organized baseball circles."

Petroskey was given a decision over Leo

jority of rounds were Petroskey’s by a

that invariably worked havoc with Benz
and the Butte lad was sent to his

appear to have a chance and the best
he could do was to hold his own in five
rounds.

“Packey Always Smiles When He
Hits a Man,” Declares Miss
Loughran.
C HICAGO, Dec. 18.—How to win
the love of an heiress—in three
rounds—is the advice of Packey
McFarland, heavy lightweight pugi
list, could give all aspiring prizefight
ers.
Miss Margaret Loughran, of Joliet,
the heiress in question, has enlight
ened the world. She is a tall, pretty
brunette.
“Mr. McFarland,” said Miss Lough
ran, "possesses these virtues: He
doesn’t drink, he doesn’t chew, he
doesn’t stay out late nights, and he is
nevertheless the most manly man I
ever saw. I think he is perfect.’’
“Have you ever seen him in a
fight ?”
“Not exactly a fight,” said Miss
Loughran, “but I’ve seen him box. He
always smiles when he hits a man or
gets hit himself. That’s what I like J
most about him at first.”
“Do you think prize fighting is bru
tal. Miss Loughran?”
“J do not.” answered the young
woman. “Not the way Mr. McFarland
fights. I think if he had lived a few
centuries ago he would have been a
crusader or a champion of tourna
ments.’’
“How did you happen to fall in love
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 a
charity affair. I saw him in the ring,
and I thought at the time how re
markable it would be if a man could
be strong and able, as is Mr. McFar
land. and still be fc. gentleman in every
way.
“A short while later Father Walsh
introduced me, and I had my breath
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 ill
now and mother is away.”
“Will you be his trainer after that?”
“ ‘Love, cherish and obey.’ I guess
the cherish part will include train
ing.”
It’s the prince of cars—and
ear of princes. Two grand
dukes and nineteen princes
drive Fords in Russia. And
the sturdy ear is as popular
with both classes and masses
the world over. Its unequal-
ed merit has won it world
wide recognition.
