contest for the title of the most perfect
boy baby in Atlanta.
This wee would be champion has n
partner on today's card. She is Mary
Frances Radcliffe. 151 Berean avenue
who is put forward by her parents as
the most likely person of their acquain
lance to pull down first honors as the
most perfect girl baby.
Both children are little wonders in
the matter OF physique and stand as
convincing arguments that careful and
systematic training of children has
good results. Both have been brought
up with an idea that they have long
lives ahead of them and that they must
be prepared for those lives. Therefore
they have been watched and developed
and the two families whose homes they
brighten have been certain from the
first that no finer tots are to be found
in Georgia.
Mary Frances Radcliffe is a little
Scotch maiden. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. Radcliffe. of ISL Berean

WHIPS 4 MEN At
ONCE; NAME? PAT.
Ryan, Weight 40, Age so,
"CIeans" Saloon Crowd.
Cop His Waterloo.

Pat Ryan is dimtnutive son of Erin
although apparently past the 50-year mark
and doesn't pose as a pugilist, but today
he holds record calculated to make some
of our great ring stars envious.
Pat is a bantamweight--we would
probably tip the scales at 10 pounds
but eemerged from a saloon at 315
Peters street with the record of having
whipped four men-one after the other in
quick succession-and then attempted to
beat Policeman Butler. one of the police
heavyweights. 1t was only when he
tackled the stalwart officer that he met
his match
One of the men thrashed by Pat was a
,six-footer. Pat slugged him in the region
of the solar plexus, and. when the tall
man i'd the doubling up act, Pat seized
him by the back of the neck and used
him for a mop. Another big fellow sought
to stop Pats onslaught, but the little fell
low, leaping into the air like a jumping
jack, pasted him in the eye and sent him
over against the bar.
When Pat realized that he couldn't
handle the big policeman, he threw up
the sponge and submitted to arrest.
He told Recorder Broyles he had no idea
what caused him to whip so many men
at one time"
Judge Broyles fined Pat $2575. 81.
