CIRCUS FUN.
Ringing Brothers Carry Fifty Clowns
to Assure K.

to Assure Il.
| A pleasing feature of Ringing
Brothers great circus is the small
army Of clowns. Fifty of them are
busy from the first ring act to the last
in creating laughter. Usually they
work in groups Of three and four, far
enough apart so as not to interfere,
and reaching all the way around the
huge hippodrome track. Each group
has an amusing pantomimic skit to
evolve, and provides its own special
properties. The grotesque make up
of many is irresistibly laughter-mak-
| ing in itself, but when they get into
action for fun, the merriment of the
crowd frequently rises to gale. 1t is
we'll worth a long Journey to watch
the little ones at an afternoon per-
Torrance. They are always present by
thousands and make a human flower
gallery of the great canvas. To see
their eyes widen, cheeks redden, and
hear the musical laughter that floods
from their rosy lips, would bring acute
pleasure to the arteries Of a craven
image, supposing that such a cold cast
had such blood lines Of communica-
fion with head and heart. The clown
in this fast age must be perfect in
everything but eloquence. He must be
expert as pantomimic actor, dancer,
acrobat and inventor of grotesque
ways and means to kindle good humor,
In Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows there is an exclusive club to
which only are eligible those clowns
that have achieved obviously striking
results in interesting and amusing the
crowd, and those who have invented
singularly fetching tomfoolery and
property aids to accomplish uproari-
GUS fun. The slightest breach from the
rigid rule of refinement is sufficient
to cause any member to be dropped
from the club if repeated after twice
warned, and, of course, such a mistake
would kill the chances of any clown
not a member, and, IL continued, drive
him from the show.
In the grand street parade of Ring
ling Brothers, show day morning, tab
leau floats bearing national types and
characteristic scenes from all over the
world, will be a novel and attractive
feature. All the people with the great
shows will participate in, this free dis
play of the wonders with the circus,
and the costuming is the richest ever
attempted. Forty elephants, $50 horses,
1OS cages lairs and dens, ~ bands, 20
camels, SO jolly clowns, troops of gaiiy
accoutred soldiery, lady riders in Eas-
ter-like fnery, children's chariots, fairy
land pictures, aristocratic whips, and
a multitude of other distinctive fea-
lures will be Illuminating factors in
the largest and grandest circus pa
ever ORGANIZED
Ringing Brothers will exhibit here
Thursday, September Z, and give per-
formances in the afternoon at 2 o'clock
and evening at o'clock. Reserved
seats, numbered, and admission tickets

Saturdays Game.

. Saturdays game. SO far as the scOr-
ing or the possibility of tallying were
concerned, was all over after the sec
ond inning. Ottumwa, aided by two
singles, a sacrifice and an unavoidable
error on second, counted twice before
the locals got started. When the lat
ter did get away in the second their
effort to win was nipped in it's in
fancy, and but one lone tally came off
three singles and stolen base. After
that the Grays got the paths four
times, twice to die at first, once to be
speared going to second, and the fourth
time expiring on second. The visitors,
also, never got past second after they
had tailed, but had men on oftener
than the other side.
Parkin for the locals, opposed Still
man, the ex- Western Lacquer, and both
twrlers after their humping early in
the game, We're effective, although Par
kin got himself out of more bad holes
than did the other. While his support
was not as steady as Stillman's, fast
backing up at critical times held down
the tallies.
The visitors got away in the first
with a rush. Everett, first up, sim
gled. House hunted to Brown, who
had Everett speared, but the runner
collided with Middleton, who dropped
the ball. Gagnier sacrificed, advancing
both the others. Beaver hit, and they
tailed. Hoffmeister flew out to Hoy,

Two innings IN TWO SdIIles, lIoSe VI

games of the last series with Ottum-

the narrow margin of single tally
did the locals escape another white
washing. Another disastrous eighth
inning yesterday put the finishing
touches to the Grays. and during that
one round the visitors gathered in all
of their scores.
The locals faint batting rally came
in the sixth, but 1t was nipped in the
bud, and Middleton being foiled at the
plate, after the third single had brOk-
en- out, was as near as they could come
to hanging up score. Three singles
and Williams error, coming at the
same time, served to down the local
tribe. Previous to Williams misplay

which, however, was excusable, gave
to Ottumwa the pair Of scores it took
to win that game.
Wallace and Lempke, both south
paws, were up yesterday, and the local
man was fully as good as the other,
but the single error his support made
helped to beat him, while the visitors
fell down In their fielding four times.
None Of the miscues, however, worked
into the plays enough to help tally
homeward. The Grays made other
misplays, not chargeable as errors,
such as Kayler'S amateurish stunts in
left field in the opening inning, which
gave Everett an undeserved two-bag-
ger, and his failure to field in Gag
nier's single in the eighth, which
should have been driven to the plate
to gnip Everett, but was not. Wallace's
