Cowboy at Opening at Madison Square Garden Throws
Animal Only Fourth Try-Austn Gets In
junction Against Stopping Show.

When folks in Rife, Col, hear that
Jim Massey and Brahma steer named
Bootleg went TO the mat in Madison
Square Garden four times yesterday af-
t,rnoon before Jim won, they are going
TO spend a week wondering what hap
pened TO Jim. Jim has been known to
leap from the back of a horse onto the
horns OF steer and flip the steer over
in nine and three-hfths seconds. they
say that Jim never spent more than
thirteen seconds on any steer.
The trouble was that it was Jim's
first trip to New York and that NJ was
doing his specialty-steer wrestling, or
bulldogging-a the opening show of the
rodeo, or roundup. now under way in
the Garden under the auspices of the
Argonne Association of America. Jims

Some of the incest girls in New York
were in the Garden yesterday afternoon
when Jim came busting forth from the
chutes in the wake Of Bootleg. jim
wore q lavender silk shirt and three
feet of Stetson hat lie sat upon his
horse like a hero. A burst of applause
greeted his appearance. Jim bowed, OF
course, and then set out to hurl Boot
leg hither and yon that New York might
be satisfied that his reputation was a
solid gold affair and not merely plated.
But instead of leaping from his saddle
upon the horns of Bootleg and making
a neat nine seconds Job of it, Jim rode

made his mistake. He looked into the
faces of those girls in the boxes, and
well, Bootleg had to below a couple OF
times to call Jim back to the business
at hand. Jim's eyes seemed bit af-
fccted. He dashed here and there sort
of aimlessly and finally took jump at
Bootleg. Bootleg snorted, tossed his big
head and Jim landed in a heap twenty
feet away.
Mounted again, Jim had another go

stood UP and cheered. Jim missed Boot
legs horns by length. Again he tried,
and again Bootleg ducled out of range.
Now had 1t been any ordinary man
the crowd would have bestowed the

Jim came to life.. He saw Bootleg

until the big steer reached him, and

injunction covers ten days. The rodeo
is booked ten days. SO that remains
that.
