CATTLE HORSE
BEATS LOBERT
AROUND BASES
Unique Race Between Man
and Beast is Held at
0xnard, Calf.

How Hans Lobert of the Phillies
raced COW horse around the bases
out in California is told in the August
Baseball Magazine. 1t seems that
when the world tour baseball party
played in oxnard. CAL, unique
match between COW horse and ball
player was staged. Here's what took
place:
The feat Is remarkable, because 1t
is the only one of its kind that has
ever taken place. It was performed
by John B. ("Honusp) Lobert, be-
tween the eighth and ninth innings Of
the game. The question arose as to
whether cattle-horse trained to rap
i'd turns, could beat base runner
around the diamond, and Immediately
It was proposed to test. the matter.
The fastest cattle-horse in Ventura
county happened to be owned In Ok
nard, and against this wonderful ami
ma. which had record of "a seconds
to the quarter mile, Lohert (the fast
est base runner living) agreed to race
around the diamond. Interest in the
event was intense, as a large portion
OF the residents OF Oxnard are cattle
men. An enormous crowd filled the
stands tthe game was a close contest.
