to them when word was received
shortly after the game ended that i
Fort Mill had won, 9 to I. Aided I
by the steady pitching of Andral J
Ferguson, the Fort Mill boys, accu- i
mutating a total of 14 hits for the <
afternoon, found It comparatlely
easy to win the game firom the Chester
county lads. WUbum Ferguson
led the Fort Mill hatters with yiree .
singles and a double to hit credit,
while Douglas Nlma did almost as

THE CARNIVAL SyXL.
At a recent carnival attended
by the writer, says a contributor
to Henry Ford's paper, the Dearborn
Independent, a maii lost a
total of $183 playing oncfvof the
socalled games of skill. It was an
ouirigm sieai. iu? muu -was a
member of the fraternal order
lodge that was supplying the auspiees
for the carnival. I
lji this particular carnival
show there were 25 game booths,
three "rides,'* two palmists, and
?ix "shows." Each of the shows
was 90 per cent fraud?that is.
virtually nothing was given in return
for- the- admission fees
;harged.
At another carnival there w$re
21 games, five "rides" and six
'shows." At one which heralds
itself as flie very best, there were
13 shows, 35 games and five
rides.
At all "carnivals" children
were permitted and even urged
to play the "games." The only
thing that can be said for that is
that they never win anything,
and thus in some cases the experience
may serve as a discour*
ageinent to gambling.
Operation of the carnival show
is characerized by two features
not common to other branches of
the commercialized amusement

I but not invariable, of operating
under "auspices." The
other, general but with a! few exceptions,
of subordinating amusement
to what esentially is gambling?and
worse. Therefore, as
n business, its appeal primarily is
not to men with the showman's
instinct. Most of its followers
arc not showmen in any sense of
the word; even when showmen,
with scattering exceptions, they
are of the third-rate kind. They
are not, as were the medicine
showmen of old, who in part were
the progenitors of the modern
carnival operators, good fakers.
Everest Peak Unattainable.
Mount Everest has again protected
the secrets ot its snow
covered summit from the,'prying
eyes of man. The second, British
expedition has failed to climb ,to
the peak ol' the highest mountain
.11 me world.
Brig. Gen. C\ G. Bruce,, head of
the English expedition, which
made the lateHt attempt to climb
the famous mount of India, has
been forced to the conclusion
that persistence in an efiort to
scale the peak would result only
in useless tragedy. Frost bite,
which has assailed members of
the party, promise of more bad
weather, and the advice of physicians
and mountain authorities
forced him to the decision to
abandon the attempt.

uen. oruce s attempt nas oeen
named a "glorious failure" by
authorities on mountaii^ conditions.
His attempts proved that
the summit of Mount Everest is
unattainable, at least at present.
The English group climbed to a
point about 1,700 feet from the
top, reaching an altitude of about
27,300 feet. .
Explorers would be able to go
to nearly a thousand feet from
the top if an expedition started
out earlier in the summer, naturalists
of India think. Even then
a superhuman efofrt would hove
to be made and explorers would
set out with almost a certainty
that they would never return.
It will soon be time fo$ Lloyd
George to meet and defeat another
crisis.
