Editorial Comment
Exit the Sixth Brother
Minneapolis Jlournal.)

There died in Florida the other day the last
save Ct the brothers who half century
ago were giving rag-tent shows, with a menagcrie
OF goats, dogs, cats and Chickens in their fathers
backyard at McGregor, Iowa, and who thirty years
later dominated the circus world.
From rag-tent performances the seven Ringlings
turned to "hall shows" staged in Iowa hamlets,
and after the family moved to Baraboo, Wisconsin,
they ventured out en- the road, in 1882 with their
first feeble wagon circus"
decade or so later the little amusement enter
prise had developed into railroad show" dwarfcd
though it was by the three circus giants of those
days. the great organizations that bore the names
Of Barnum Baily, Adam Forepaugh and the Sells
Brothers. And many hearty laugh did the giants
have at the expense of the little Ringngs who cut
prices to get business and who usually brought rain
to town with them.
In surprisingly few years, however, the It'll,
Ringlings had absorbed all three of the giants, had
become the big Ringlings, and were without seri-
competition thereafter.
And now oil except John, the youngest of the
seven, dead. 1t is easy to say that all these
seven Iowa boys did was to make lot of money
out OF the show business, take lot of money out
ct each of the towns they visited.

more than that Their organization has been anus
ing, entertaining and instructing 2 great many
hundreds OF thousands of people every year, and at
a reasonable price.
The big circus gives the public mere in return
for it's dollar than perhaps any other amusement
enterprise The big circus, through it's heavy pur
chases of supplies, certainly leaves higher per.
ccntage Of its gate receipts behind it than any other
amusement enterprise And, so doing, the big
circus piles up bigger net revenues in the course
OF year than probably any other amusement enter
prise. =
Surely. the seven men who built the big circus
out Of an original investment of only two hundred
dollars must be credited with an achievement far
above the ordinary.

The Baseball Scandal
New York Times. }

Easebar fans" are attracted to exhibitions Of the
national game given by the major leagues because
they believe that it is con the level" If their faith
in it as an honestly conducted sport is shaken
by more revelations that games are thrown" and
that players bet on the result, there will be no
"heroes," attendance will dwindle, and dividends
for the stockholders will be small or none at all.
The latest scandal which is not as malcdorous
the conspiracy to lose worlds series in 1919,
but tainted beyond doubt, concerns two of the
greatest players the diamond has ever. known, Ty
Ccsb and iris Speaker, also Wood, ! former pitcher
for the Cleveland Americans and Leonard, a former
pitcher for the Detroit Americans. In 1919, which
seems to have been black year for baseball Cobb
was manager Of the Cleveland club and Speaker
Of the Detroit club.
Wood made an urgly statement at the hearing:
that It was not uncommon for players to bet on
games, even in the middle of the season. Cobb
gave corroborative testimony on this point He
knew that Leonard was going to "ppt down" bets
on one Ct the games in Detroit. In Chicago yester-
day Cobb said that he and Speaker had tried to
bring up the case long ago tic clear our napaes
