Once at Luna park, Coney island,
year or two ago, the press agents
worked up an elephant STORY which
they found themselves unable to carry
through.
The plan was to announce that an
elephant had wandered away and lost
himself. They started the thing in
the papers and then tangled up their
scheme so badly that it was laid before
Frederic Thompson. He took hold of
it, hired a furniture van, carted an ele-
plant. by night up through Brooklyn.
across the bridge, through downtown
New York to the Battery, and by ferry
to Staten Island. In the early dawn
he elephant was turned loose, ana
being an elephant, he naturally took
to the water. sleepy policeman
found him wading ashore, and with
the help of a tramp who said he had
once worked with a circus cit was the
trainer in disguise), kept him in Gus
tody until Thompson could SEND
around for him The afternoon papers
announced that the elephant had
swum the lower bay from Coney Is
land to Staten Island. A rug captain
reported sighting the beast in mid
channel. The Staten Island police
captain wrote to Thompson and
Dundy to suggest that they do some
thing for the tramp who had so
nobly helped them out. The news
papers, though they smelled a mouse,
had to give it up; and from that day
to this, certain shrewd reporters have
wondered how that elephant really got
to Staten Island. 1t will be readily
seen that to carry through SO wild an
exploit called for nerve and skill. The
tug captain was, of course, subsidized.
But the habits of that 'longshore pO-
liceman had to be observed pretty
carefully before the elephant could be
successfully planted" on the beach.
It was even necessary to induce the
ferry captain at the Battery to back
out and receive the van on the for
ward deck. because it was too high to
pass through the boat.-Samuel Mer-

All batted but Howard in the next inning
and two runs we're scored, leaving three

one to the pitcher, which Vollendorf could
not get to first in time and both were safe.
Bender repeated the performance by

sacks. Carter hit to the pitcher, who
caught Long at the plate, and still the
bases were filled Perring did his best to
