.Rumor Has II
 That Ringlings
 May RetireFrom
 Circus Business
Those Who Are Close to the Successors of Barnum 6
 Bailey Deny Any Knowl-
 edge of Reported Move.

That the Ringing brothers are soon to dispose of their interests in the circuses they control and retire from the show business is a. ru1nor that has gained much, credence among men in executive places in the show business. According to Dame Rumor a stock company is being promoted by brokers in wan street as well as by snowman, for the purposea of talk ing over the Ringing Brothers and Barnum & Bailey shows. equipment. title and all and even the latent Forepaugh- Sells show.
 The story even makes provision for the retired life of each of the Ring Ing brothers. Al at Baraboo, Wis; CharlesSat Evanston Ills; A1f T. and Henry at New York and John at White, Sulphur. Springs, Mont.
 It is logical to assume that the chiefs, of any corporation which at tempt to take over this business would be men of experience in the circus business, AeeIy alive to the opportunity which lies in the path of the Ringing aggregations and able to direct them so as to secure the fullest measure of revenue from each.
 Charlie Wilson who is credited with being the proposed general manager of the coordination, stoutly denies that any such deal is contemplated. Major Gordon WI. Li1lie, Charles B. cory, tkre SVSllIasCex eJ O11E 5SJ.s5 4<4LDOt, F. G. Bonfils, Harry Tallnan, Ed M. Ballard and other circus nagnates who have been approached on the subject all have admitted they have heard the rurnor, but all deny that overtures have been made to them regarding jeining such combine tion.S
 The Ringing brothers, individually and collectively, deny any intention of retiring from the show business. At the winter quarters of the Bar mum & Bailey circus here today those in charge said they had no inforna- ton on the matter, but they did not believe it was true. 5
 Part of the equipment of the latent F7orepaugh-SAI1s show including tents. cars and parade wagons is stored at the Barnum & Bailey winter. quar- ters in the West End. This year the circus is travelling west and will tour California before returning to Bridge port.

HANDSOME GIFTS
 TO MISS WILSON
 INCLUDE JEWELS

Washington, May 7-The wedding presents received by Eleanor Randolph Wilson, daughter of the President, be- sides being numerous and valuable, have the added quality of being in many instances of a personal and do- mestic nature, signifying the interest taken in the home life of the new cabinet couple.
 The bridegroom. Secretary McAdoo. in addition to the splendid string Of diamonds which his bride will wear at the wedding, has given her the opal brooch surrounded by a ring of large diamonds which she has worn fre- quently of late and a wrist bracelet in which a tiny watch is ~bordered with diamonds.
 The engagement ring is a large dia- mond solitaire and another ring from MT. McAdoo was an opal surrounded by diamonds The opal is a birthstone for ibothsthe bride and the bridegroom as their birthday anniversaries occur in October.
 The gift of the President and Mrs. Wilson has not been made known but is understood to be something similar to their gift to Jessica Wilson, set of furniture for the bride to use in her new home
 The cabinet members and their wives united in a gift to Miss Wilson and MT. McAdoo, following a histori- cal precedent established at the CIeve- land Folsom wedding. Their present was a set Of silver dinner plates and silver platter. It was sent to the ibride-to-be early in the week and has been a source of admiration for it's massive elegance.
 Several of the cabinet women. in cluding Mrs. Marshall, have sent per sonal gifts, specimens of their own handiwork.
 
 lison are also represented in the pres ents by an opal 1ava11ier The center stone has small pearls around it.
 The gift from the House was select ed by small committee and was siI- yer tea service, a large tray with ket- tie and stand, tea pot, coffee pot, sugar bowl, cream pitcher, waste bowl and a pair of silver candeIabra. The wives of the members of the Senate chose the gift of the members of that body.

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST
 BASEBALL TRIPLE PLAY

Tomorrow will be the thfrty-sixth anniversary of the first unassisted triple play in baseball history. It was on May g, 1878, that Paul Hines, center fielder of the Providence Grays of the National league, pulled off this stunt.
 Hines was playing deep center field on the Providence diamond in 8 game against Boston that memorable date. There were Boston men .on
 second and third bases when a brief fly was banged out over second base. Hines went after it, but it seemed all l impossible catch, and the runners on bases started for home. Hines was l one of the speediest men of that. day, l and he got the ball when it was within l an inch of the ground, touched second base and then scooted for third before the man who had been on that bag could get back. The crowd went wild over the feat, and baseball sharps pre- Idicted that 1t would never be repeat ed. The prediction stood for nearly a quarter of century, but in 1909 Harry O'Hagan of Rochester, in the
 Eastern league, perpetrated an unas- sisted triple play at Jersey City. About two years later Larry Schlady broke
 into the hall of fame with a triple play at Portland, Ore, and in 19O6 Murch, of the Manchester club turned
 the trick at New Bedford. The second major leaguer to make a triple play was Neal Ball. at Cleveland, in 1909. Carlisle of Vernon in the Pacific Coast league, startled the Los Angeles fans with such 8 mighty deed in 1911, and in the same year Calvert, of Wood burn, Ore pulled off triple play without aid, assistance or succor.
 Paul A. Hines, the inventor of the
 unaided triple play was born in Wash ington, and started his career with the Washington Nationals. Forty years ago he Joined the Chicago White Stock fngs, and went to the Providence Gray in 1873 the year the Rhode Island city was admitted to the league. From 1878 until 1885, when Providence was dropped from the circuit, Hines was one of the star players of the famous Grays, which won two pennants and never finished out of the first division. In 1884 Hines helped Providence win the first professional words series, defeating the Metropolitans, champion of the American Association After leaving Providence Hines played first base for Indianapolis and Pittsburgh and when he 1eftthe diamond he got a good government job in Washington.
