there at around 12.000.
Rain Keep Crowd Down
' Birmingham has won the trophy for
the paet three years and had It not
been for the hard rain lust about the
time the game was to start there
Thursday, the attendance would no
doubt have been much larger. The rain
continued through the fifth Inning of
tine game between Birmingham and
lyashvllle and the field was ankle deep
lh mud before the end of the game.

< Special To The Advertiser)
CINCINNATI O.. April 13—Manuel
Cueto, the Reds' small Cuban out
felder may not play a regular outfield
game this season and perhaps will be
used largely as a utility man, but he
has won a warm spot In the hearts
of local fans. Cueto set out early In
the training season determined to win
a regular Job In the line-up. And the
high class ball he has been playing
from the first has been the favorite
topic of local fans.
When Eddie Roush, the Reds' out
field star showed a reluctance to ap
pear for spring training It was
thought that Eddie had hold-out ideas
and that perhaps he planned to stay
away for keeps unless h\ salary was
fattened. Cueto saw his chance to get
a place in the regular line up and It
must ije admitted that he hit a faster
clip in his efTorts to land It than
anyone would have thought him cap
able of Cueto not onlyt fielded In a
thoroughly faultless way and showed
the most delightful speed on the
bases, but he hit the ball at a fiend
ish clip all through the training sea
son and In the barn storming games.
U began to appear to Red fans that
Eddie Roush might stay away for
ever if he chose so long as there was
such class to Cueto to replace him.
Roush returned, however, to report
that he had no holdout demands to
make tut had only' stayed away as
he needed the time to look after a
mine or two he Is Interested In and
a few other things that required his
attention. Eddie had reached the best
sort of shape with his own home
training and the suspicion was current
that he simply wanted to escape the
drudgery of the spring training trip.
If Rbush was npt one of the
brightest stars among th# game’s
younger outfielders his.truancy might
have caused him some little grief not
say the loss of a good Job. Roush
shared the starring honors of the Red
with Bennie Kauff at the time that
organisation was disbanded and there
are plenty who will tell you that
Roush Is even a better man than
Kauff. At least it is certain that Ed
die Is one of the best and though
Cueto’a performing had been of the
highest class throughout he could
hardly expect to nose Roush out of the
The Reds are pleased to see that
they have In Cueto one of the star
utility players of the league. If Cueto
continues to pound the ball as he has
so far he will close the season with
a hot record even though he Isn't In
tne line-up every day.

5 out of 9 on a Pullman
A random test was recently
made in a crowded Pullman Club
Car—and it was found that, of the
men who were afrnnhiwg cigarettes,
5 out of 9 were smoking Fatimas.
Probably an unusually high per
centage even for Fatimas; but this
case is merely one of the many
evidences thSt more and more
representative men are nowa
days choosing a sensible cigarette.
' Theysmoke Fatimas—not alone
for their likeable taste—but for
the common sense "man-comfort”
that they find in thin delicately
balanced Turkish blend. Fatimaa
please the throat and tongue while
you are smoking them—and they
leaveyou feeling "fit” afterwards..
You don’t have to thinhof "how
many” when you are amoking g
