Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Circus Tiger; 1; knocks over boy; 2. A big cat's lunge turned out to be a soft touch today when a 1-year-old Bengal tiger took fancy to 2-year old visitor to Circus Vargas at Scarborough Town Centre. The declawed tiger; Anthony; managed to knock Gregor Flavell down as child clung to his father; Ken; but the boy was unhurt. Handler Johnny Marrone; who was walking Anthony from his cage; found even heavy chain wasn't enough once tiger found a favorite among spectators. The circus is in Scarborough till Thursday.
