PRECIOUS TIGER
 MANGLES KEEPER

Los Angeles, Cal, June 19.-Hermon Ger son. head animal keeper in the East Lake park zoo, was seized by both arms by a big male tiger while washing its cage yes terday. The tiger stripped both arms of flesh from the elbows down and almost pulled his arms from the sockets. His wife came to the rescue and by jamming the beast in the eyes and breast with pitch fork prled it's teeth and claws open.
 As the tigers jaws closed on Gersons arms the keeper, who was holding a small hose, turned the nozzle in the anemals face. The tiger placed a huge paw on Gersons other arm and the keeper began to call to his wife, who was in the Gerson residence near the zoo. The roar of the tiger had created a pandemonium among the animals, and as Mrs. Gerson sank d pitchfork into the tiger again and again the snars and yells from the tigers cage redoubled The fight between the woman and the man-eater lasted several minutes, ending only when Mrs. Gerson directed the prongs of the fork against the ami malls eyes. With his arms released Ger son sank to the ground and was later re- moved to the hospital Mayor Harper ordered the bars of the tigers cage strengthened.

 Memphis DOeSn Ger Game

Memphis doesn't get that game after all.
 Every local fan remembers the game, how, after Memphis had piled up nine runs, the Barons tied the score, and might have won had Umpire Carpenter not made the greatest error that South ern league umpire was ever guilty of. He sent Walters back to third, it is remem- bered, after Walters, having stolen third. scored on a wild heave of Catcher Owens.
 Molesworth protested the game, the de- cision of which was finally awarded to Memphis, and the directors of the league at Memphis Thursday decided that the protest was well taken.
