From Buckles

I just happened to have the 1936 Cole Show folder at hand that includes this picture of the Candy Butcher team. Without further rummaging around, it might be fun to ask if anyone else has any circus baseball pix to add.
Seems like I recall years ago, a publicity photo of a supposed softball game between the Ringling Bally gals versus the clown dwarfs.

Hi, Buckles. Maybe there's a publicity photo around of Prince Paul when he played vaudeville, in baseball uniform as part of a team of dwarf "Giants."

Somewhere I've seen a photo of the Ringling Giants, with Paul Jerome credited as manager. Pat Cashin, can you come up with this one?
