BEATTY VICTOR IN FIGHT WITH ENRAGED LION Trainer Narrowly Escapes Death in Dramatic Arena Battle. By United Prrm CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.—Sammy, 400-pound lion with an irascible temper, found out today how it feels to be on the receiving end of a good beating. Bleeding from a dozen deep wounds, Sammy flunk to his quarters, a thoroughly cowed lion —after being thrown into a cage with four other "fighting cats" for a free-for-all fight. By United Prri CLEVELAND, Jan. 30.—They’re going to gang up on Sammy. The huge male lion that has kept the Grotto circus arena in a turmoil for two days has a lesson coming such as only two other good "fighting cats” can provide. So Clyde Beatty, ace trainer who came near losing his life because cf Sammy s cussedness, is sending the lion into the "big cage " against two bigger lions who will show Sammy the error of his ways. Sammy is one of the forty lions and tigers which Mr. Beatty handles every day for the entertainment of circus fans. During a training session yesterday morning he went on a rampage, attacked and killed a young lioness. Mr. Beatty jumped into the fight to save the S4OO female, but' he couldn't loosen Sammy’s death grip. At the afternoon performance.! Sammy again showed signs of fight, but Beatty subdued him. 9.000 Get Extra Thrill Then came the evening performance. Nine thousand spectators jammed public auditorium and got an extra thrill for their money. Sammy began the fireworks by snapping at a nearby tiger, his natural enemy. Mr. Beatty stepped into the cage, but the animals did not react normally. They yiarled and growled, snapping at each other and at the trainer. Then Sammy charged. With a wild roar he came at' Mr. Beatty. Tense attendants used their prodding poles, but the trainer flipped and fell under the savage attack. He lost his grip on the chair, and the kill-crazy Sammy jumped in to make the kill. Sammy to Get Lesson But Mr. Beatty somehow’ regained his feet. His blank cartridge gun exploded in the lion's face. It stung. Sammy retreated, but returned to the fight. The other animals milled around the cage, snapping at Mr. Beatty from behind. Then the snap lash on the trainers whip caught Sammy on the nose. Again he retreated, and in a split second Mr. Beatty recovered his chair and. with his whip cracking, forced Sammy Lack to his pedestal. And now Sammy is going to be taught a lesson, if it takes two lions to do it. "They’ll handle him. all right,” said Mr. Beatty. “That lion needs a good whipping and, believe me, he’s going to get it.” YOUNG G. 0. P.
