WILD HORSE RACE
MAKES BIG HIT IN
THE COWBOY SHOWS

the wild horse race proved plS
hit of the cowboy sports program
Tuesday at the Arizona state fair
Forty-five head OF untamed bronchs
were herded to the starting line, and
then the fun began. The game was
for each rider to rope and saddle his
steed and then induce it to run around
the half mile track in the right direc-
ton.
With dozens of ropes burling through
the air, there was soon fine melee OF
tangled and kicking horses, inter
mingled with riders attempting to sad
die their mounts.
One by one the skeins were removed
from the tangled mass, however. and
after much persuasion on the part OF
helpers the bronchs were off on the
wild ride.
Chief RattIesnake of the Fort Nc
Dowen Indian reservation, finished the
race first, and was declared winner OF
the first prize money of 5000.
A remarkable exhibition of rough
riding was given by Chief Irontail
on Black Jack Five times the rider
was thrown. only to regain his place
on the saddle, where he finished. Cow
boys running in with their ponies save
him from a nasty fall al the conclu-
sion of the performance, which was
voted as one of the very best of the
day.
Hazen Cowan was first in the Ro-
man race. Bob Anderson second, and
Cuff Burrell third.
