Myr. Parks and the Elephants Have Something in Common—It Seems They Never Forget Any Details

(Photos, Page Two) By JOE COLLIER OU could tell today that the elephanis remembered the place. They were pushing the Cole Brothers Circus around today at Southeastern and Keystone Aves., just itke they were about a year ago

this time.

Like all circuses, Cole Brothers uses up the spare time of its elephants by having them pull and push wagons from where they are to

where they ought to be.

Ora Parks, the press agent, said that things were much easier for

the men who set a circus in place

this year.

Due to their remarkable memories, the elephants pitched in and moved all the wagons to within a hair's breadth of where they moved

them to last year,

This happens more or less in every city, Mr. Parks says, but more so in Indianapolis and nobody, not even Mr. Parks, is able to account

for that feature of it.

Mr. Parks said that the only mistake the elephants made this VOAr Was in pushing the first wagons too far. Mr. Parks said that that, probably was due, not to faulty elephant memory, but to the fact that last year the grounds were mucky and this year they are dry.

The baby 1s in no pain, he said, It sleeps and eats normally and is being given the care that a nor mal baby would receive, “Two persons have offered to donate eyes, But, of course, that would do no good.”

GOMEZ WANTS FANS

R. PARKS figures that the elephants started to go by memory of how hard it was to push the wagons last vear and thus exerted the same energy this year. with the result that they went farther, They quickly corrected the situation and shifted their memories to identifying place instead of energy spent and made no further mistakes, Mr. Parks memory, which he has trained to a razor edge, appeared to be at least as good as it was last year. He recalled that Ooie Brothers Circus is known as “the finest show on earth.” In NV Lot a - . v lian m , ana, Vernon (Lefty) omez, pro- : He reenited. lke an expert, that Olyde Beatly Is a fe atured perform vided she would Withdraw her iy er and daily—three times today-—faces wild lions and tigers in a cage ON I oy Mort Rit ies them with a kitchen chair, a phony pistol and a 35 caliber | The New York Yankees’ pitcher [was understood to feel that with.
