SIX LIONS CAUSED
PANIC IN THEATRE
One Ran into the Street, and Was
Shot by Police in an Apartment
House.

NEW YORK, Dee. 1s.-Six trained
lions escaped from their cage on the
stage of an East Eighty-sixth street
vaudeville theater Yesterday and,
bounding into the audience, consisting
principally OF women and children,
caused a panic One lioness, Alice. the
largest of the troup, escaped into a
crowded street Policemen pursued her
into the hallway of a nearby apart
ment house and in shooting at her
probably fatally wounded a comrade,
Sergeant Daniel Glenn. Two other of
fcers were slightly wounded by the
claws of the beast in battle at close
range.
At sight Of the lions hundreds of
persons. in the theater fled screaming
to the exits. Mothers. DELAYED Ivy
gathering up their children, crowded
into corners and places of supposed
safety. Scores tainted and many,
numbed by the sight of the animals
among them, sat transfxed in their
seats. With the exception of Alice,
none of the beasts displayed great
feroeity. \ few persons who got in
their paths were scratched, but none of
them were seriously hurt.
Five of the animals were still loose
in the theater when the last of the
audience escaped. In their rush to
safety spectators left all kinds of
wearing apparel and personal belong
ings. Then for an hour the beasts
roamed over the house from gallery
to basement. But when they finally

the attraction. The lions were owned
by Francis Ferari, a Snowman who
had been exhibiting them at carnivals
during the summer.
The escape of the lions took place
when they were being transferred
from the exhibition box to the ship
ping cage. The animals started fol
the shipping box with rush, knocking
the box aside and thus gaining THEN
freedom.

Guarding Against Cattle Disease.

Although no case of foot and mouth
disease among the cattle has occurred
in this town, many of the farmers are
taking extra precaution by disinfectiug
their stables.
The state cf1icials have recently made
Il rule against stabHng horses from an
other town unless the stables have a
permit to engage in this business. 1t
is hoped that this will prove one way
to prevent unnecessary spread of the
disease.

II he did not bend his knee he felt awkward

TN going after pitcher the managers work
with the batters. In 1910, with the bases
full in the first game between the Giants
and the Yankees, McGraw and Bridwell got
after Ford. Two were out, and Bridwell had
not been hitting. 1t was evident, though, that
Ford was beginning to crack under the strain;
for he threw Bridwell two bad balls. At once
McGraw strobe from the third base coaching
box and stopped the game. Calling Bridwell
aside, he whispered something to him. The
Yankees began to- wonder what it was.
Some of them, especially Ford, became a little
nervous. Ford was wild on the next ball,
and it hit Bridwell in the shins. As the rules
provide, the umpire waved him to first base,
and the run was forced from third.
All the Yankees, all the fans, most of the
Giants, thought that McGraw had given
Bridwell orders to get hit purposely. He
had done nothing of the kind. He had simply
sized up the situation and, doing some quick
thinking, had decided to make use of psy-
Geological trick. By the very act of drawing
Bridwell aside and whispering something to
him, he completely broke the wavering Ford.
This is what he said to Bridwell:
Say, Al, do you expect big crop on the
farm next spring."
That was all. Ford thought, like all the
rest that Bridwell had been given orders to
get hit purposely, and as result he went up
in the air.
