Ihan sacrifice the regard of their pa

than sacrifice the regard of their pa
 irons.
 James A. Bailey was the only other
 snowman who had this foresight but
 he was not always at his shows en-
 trance. or else failed to watch t as close
 ly as the Ringlings.
 The Ringlings also wisely followed MT. Baileys innovation in the circus business by absolutely prohibiting any of the
 nefarious practices common to circuses
 for so many years that are described
 under the general head, graft. The pub
 lie has always been safe at their show,
 as safe as any one might be in crowd.
 Pickpockets. sneak thieves and even
 short-change men have been known at
 comp meetings. But they have never had
 a home with the Ringlings.
 Intuitively and inherently showmen, the
 Ringlings always had the faculty of making strong appeal to the eye of the public, and could make the same amount of material go farther and look bigger than any other showmen. While by no
 means free from slavery to many of the
 traditions of the circus business, they
 were capable of doing many new things. Knowing that the average boy measures a circus by the number of center poles
 necessary to hold up the roof of the tent, they formerly employed six poles for a tent that might have easily been held up | by four poles.
 Knew the Value of Gilt. Before they became rich they knew that | gilt paint upon their cages. frequently | and cheaply renewed looked brighter and richer to the inexperienced eye than the expensive gold leaf that might be em- ployed by Bailey or a Forepaugh. Ban
 ners flying upon their cages in the parade l filed even more space in the eye Of the l farmer than the solid chariots and tab ] leaux of Bailey and Forepaugh. l While a dozen acts in the rings of the
 older shows might occupy so many min ! utes of the time of the programme to the confused vision of the spectators. they
 knew that after such a display quite as
 much time might be consumed in single | act which properly announced by m | eloquent lecturer would command whirl- l wind of applause and give the greatest | satisfaction, while it would be utterly
 lost in a great ensemble that might elicit
 no applause at all.
 1 The Ringlings have not been without l yicissitudes Wrecks and storms have
 had their innings against them, and they 1 have been several times perilously near l financial disaster. But for the last seven 1 or eight years they have been upon the | flood-tide of prosperity. They made their | first visit to Philadelphia last year, with l their own show, and there was general | recognition by the public that it was be- | ing treated for the first time as patron 1 at a circus in this city. | And from now on, until the whirl-a-gis l of time brings some new development | they must be regarded as the only circus | caterers to the city of Philadelphia.

that Washington-Detroit game as
was given out. According to news
paper reports Juohnson was not taken
out of the box for Washington until
the eighth inning. At the time he was
taken out the score was 1 to 1, but
Johnson showed he was weakening
and was replaced by Hughes. Six
hits were secured off Johnson and
four off Hughes the two innings he
was on the slab. Hughes was much
easier for the Detroiters than John

the former in his two innings. John,
