and members of the Inverness club,
the organization which staged the
National open golf tournament of
1920, are. hopeful Of seeing an in
,ternational match, over the same

the United States next summer,
their visit to Toledo, it is pointed
out would be to meet the pick Of
the American stars and compete for

ELEPHANT sTOPs AlTRAIN M

On Sunday night passenger train
No. 3O3 was stopped by a elephant
which was riding in the baggage car.
The big fellow was being taken by a
keeper to Minnesota and was chained
to the floor of the car. When the
train reached Quinn siding between
Peirce City and Wentworth, the train
men were surprised to have it sud-
denly stopped. They were at a loss to.
account for the occurrence until it was
discovered that the elephant in
throwing his trunk around had pulled
the air.
The keeper was afraid to handle the
elephant and the train was delayed
twelve minutes until the express mes
5senger teased the elephant and got
him to move his trunk; SO the crew
could release the air. This was the
biggest brakeman the Frisco ever had
on the road.
