cup automobile race here, and from

CLEVELAND, Dec L8 Then will be
no Federal League team In this city
'luring the season of 1914 unless some
thing 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 he 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,
last year’s experience there was
enough. Other sites are In the hands ..f
people with whom we are unable to do
business. They can’t see anything we
offer, and we can't go any higher.”
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 th© hundreds
who have witnessed the perfor

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 and
dance, and are as graceful as can
be. It is. indeed, a good show
and worth twice the price of ad

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 event of Livingston purchasing
the Fleischmann interest I would cer
tainly again have something to say in
organized baseball circles.”

Georges Carpentier, the present pugil

Petroskey Wins Over
Benz in 12-Round Go
The Order of Ex-Managers of the Cin
cinnati Ball Club are probably sore over
the spectacle of Owner Herrmann not
being permitted to own his own team.
It's the prince of cars—and
car of prince?. Two grand
dukes and nineteen princes
drive Fords in Russia. And
the sturdy car is as popular
with both classes and masses
the world over. Its unequal

wide recognition.
In addition to the above we re showing an
enormous range of fine MATCHED SETS—
Hosiery, Handkerchiefs and l ies at $1.30 and
$2.00. Hosiery and Ties, or Handkerchiefs

Wp always felt that there was some
thing loose in that Tinker deal. Mr.
Ebbets was jubilant, and we could hard
ly picture Mr. Ebbets jubilant over pay
ing $25,000 for anything.
