Tiger Trainer Knows Ail
About Being Eaten Alive
. HAL BOYLE
NORTH MIAMI, Fla., Feb.
24 P) Capt, Roman Proske
has come about clos,e as
man can to knowing how It
fecli to be eaten alive.
The tanned little wild animal
trainer hag been scratched, bit
ten or mauled at least once a
year during the thirty three
years he has been working with
"the big cats." and on a lew
occasions he has been an Im
promptu piece de resistance for
an opportunistic tiger who mis
took him for his dinner.
"At least I have been the
appetizer," said the Vienna
born captain, who now op
erates the only tiger farm In
. America.
Proske said there is less sen
sation than you might expect
when a tiger begins chewing
,ir you. Preliminary shock
th.lls the pain.
"You Just feel helpless like a
v little mouse," he said.

l.oing a full course dinner for
one of his temperamental pets

ago. He told me the story as
we were in a little garden by
his cottage house trailer, paus

yowling tigers,

circus ring Proske had been
the master of eight tigers. One
seized him by the hip in his
jaws and Proske instantly be
