SRodeo' Sho,p During Shrine Week
ToReproduceSport Of Wild West

The word "rodeo." which has made
its appearance here in connection
with the great Indian exposition
The Passing of the West" which
will be staged as a feature of the
coming Shrine convention. is Of
Mexican origin
Usage has made it refer definitely
to those occasions lin the west when
cowboys compete for prizes by their
prowess In riding vicious horses or
roping steers. F. II. Barrow. secre-
tary of the "Show Of Shows" which
will put on the big rodeo at Union
station plaza May 80 to June 8, was
for years secretary of the Cheyenne
roundup. Mr.. Barrow is at present
in the west representing Victor ].
Evans, who is in charge Of the exposi-
tion, which is to be given under the
auspices of Almas Temple.
Description of RodeO.
The following description Of a rodeo
is by Mr.. Barrow:
The modern rodeo had Its origin In
the everyday work and customs of
the cowboys of the cattle country. in

annually turned loose thousands of
head Of stock to Craze unattended OH
the broad mesas of the southwest and
the undulating plains and plateaus
or the fntermountain region. The
word itself is Mexican for round

could ride and rope. because that was
all there was for him to do. On join
ing a new outfit he selected his
string of saddle horses from the
wild bunch and broke them himself
With frequent necessity for ropins
steers and calves on the open range
in order to brand them, the cowboy
must needs be good roper to hold
his job.
Cattle Rounded Up.
For the annual spring and fall
roundupS in those days the cattle
country was divided into districts
and the cowboys, driving the cattle
rounded up from an area not fnfre-
quently' a hundred miles square
would bunch the animals at some
central point previously designated
From this point cattle bearing eacf
separate brand were cut out'-sepa
rated-and then driven to their home
range. This brought all the cowboys
of q district together twice a year fol
period of several days, and quite
naturally each outfit boasted OF hav-
ing a man who could excel in riding
or roping. Arguments as to relative
merits brought about contests be-
tween men of the different outfits
and there you have the origin of the
rodeo.

many as the grand climax of sensa-
tional cowboy endeavor, and certain

Although every bout on the card
for the third show of the National
Sport Club to be presented to boxing
patrons OF this section at the Audi
forum a week from tomorrow night
promises to be of the highest order,
the contest between "Panny" Terio,
light heavyweight champion of this
city, and Battling Hazel, of Fayette
street, colored contender for these
honors, is attracting usual interest.
This bout, a special four rounder,
will give the fans their fill of action.
Terio is working at the Y. NJ. G.. A.
and in his own gymnasium, and
Hazel is getting his workouts at the
Fayette street clubhouse. The even
ing before they were signed by the
local matchmaker the two men went
two fast rounds before the organ
izers of the local club to show that
they meant business.
Terio is DESTROYS of holding his
title, and will be at his best for this
bout. 1t is evident that the winner
of this bout will be the light heavy
weight representative of the National
Sport Club. and may be matched
with a suitable opponent on every
second card.
The negro will have the advan-
tage in height and reach, but the
New Brunswick venue merchant
expects to make up for these disad-
vantages through his hitting and
ability to take punishment. This
bout will follow the opening four
rounder in which Kid Molly, Of the
local Red Star A. c., and Battling
Steve, of New Brunswick. will ex-
change blows. The remainder of the
card is excellent.

venue Auditorium tomorrow night
under the auspices of the Police So
eial Club. Frank Seiboth is chair
man Of the committee in charge of
the event, and William Bachman
and Emil Koyen are the other MEM
bers of the committee.
Feature Eight
Staten Island and Carteret are
showing great interest in the eight
round feature event, as Dilly Muir
ply, of the island, and Carl Morris
of Carteret, are the participants.
Murphy has fought in this city and
vncinity for a number of years, and
has met some of the best men in his
class.
The Carteret boxer, "a southpaw,
has a string of important victories
to his credit at the present time,
having knocked off several of the
best featherweights in and around
the coal regions" of Pennsylvania
and at Carteret last Friday night. he
won from Sammy Green, of Eliza
beth.
There is every reason to believe
hat this bout will go the scheduled
number of rounds, unless Morris
gets in his great left. Murphy has
he greatest experience of the two
and should win the bout if it goes
eight rounds. Both boxers will be
we'll supported for this fight judg-
Ing from the advance sale.

the balance of the program.
South Amboy is interested In the
