BRONCO BUSTERS

KICKING AND BUCKlNG HORSES
MEET THEIR MATCH
Elderly Woman Admonlshes Riders
Because Of Racket They Make.
Program Best Ever
Given Here

''Heah, yuh boys out there are max
ing too much racket to suit me. When
was a gurl we us'd to get out on
them ridin' hosses and play hobby on
'em. / guess with all youah squallln'
yuh amt such wondahs."
The speaker was an elderly woman
who occupied a box at the bronco bust
ing exhibition at Fiesta park yester-
day. For some moments prior to her
admonition to the riders she had
watched the wildly excited horses and
she moved nervously and leaned for
ward whenever rider would be caught
in q tight place.
Finally one of the riders drew UP
in front Of. the box and then she
started to talk.
What do yuh make all that noise
with youah mouth fob, Bob Allson?"
she called, addressing the pride of
Southern California. Allison looked
sheepish and flung one leather be-
decked leg over the pommel Of his
saddle. Didn't 1 teach yoh no better
than to holler youah haid off when yuh
try to ride pony? If yuh yell at that
er hoss' that way again, 1 guess I'll
have to show yuh how to ride sum
NOAH"
Allison grinned and waved his hand.
Eyes reckon you could teach anyone
here how to ride some" he admitted,
and he bucked his horse over to the
corral, while the sunburned old ranch
woman nodded her head and remarked
to a young woman with her. You
bet 1 could, daughter
The exhibition was the best ever
given in Los Angeles. The only thing
to mar the program was when it was
announced that Miss Kitty White, who
20 6ot y.id he 1,aI
failed to put in an appearance. The
muddy and dangerous condition of the
ground caused her to change her mind
about riding so the management en-
tered a number Of riding novelties as
a substitute.
Many Hair-Raising Events
The program was opened by a dis
play of hair-raising and reckless rid
ing. Handkerchiefs were placed on
the ground and Charlie Scott, Bob Alli-
son and Oregon Ed Hendricks picked
up the flecks of silk as they dashed
by on their ponies.
Holding to the pommel of the saddle
and leaping with the horses, the cow
boys bounded clear over the running
animals and back again, swinging into
their saddles and performing all kinds
of trick plays.
Scott gave an exhibition of a quick
stop by leading his horse along at full
speed and suddenly swinging out of
the saddle, resting one foot on the
ground and burying the other leg in
the horses flank, swinging the animal
broadside.
Idaho Chief, the worst outlaw at
the corral, was ridden yesterday by
Hendricks. The pony is weaver and
bucker of the worst sort and the rider
was barely able to stay with it.
A little bay horse ridden by Jim
Hall, the long negro cowboy, furnished
plenty of amusement but was unable
to shake its rider although he bucked.
bit and rolled with all the wickedness
of wicked pony.
Charlie Scott's ride on a sorrel horse
nearly resulted fatally. AS soon as the
blind was slipped from the animal it
dashed beneath some ropes stretched
at the end Of the field and tried to
shake the rider. Scott stayed with the
horse until he was rubbed off against
the fence.
Two long horned steers from Arizona
were then brought from the corrals
and lassoed. rope was passed around
their bodies and a cowboy mounted one
and rode it. In spite of the animals
turns and tricks the animal was unable
to throw its rider and the second
animal met the same fate.
