COMPL A|NS
SHOW IS
CRUEL
Oyster Assures Delegation AMI
mails Will Not Be III Treated.
Exhibit to Go On.

Formal protest against the
staging of the rodeo in the Union
Station Plaza was lodged with
Commissioner James F. Oyster to-
day by a committee from the
Washington Humane Society. The
committee charged that the pres
entation of this exhibition was
nothing short of extreme cruelty
to animals"
Oyster Unmoved.
Commissioner Oyster told the del
egation that the rodeo would not be
stopped, but he assured the COM
mittee that the police would not per-
NIT any cruelty to animals.
'Bulldogging" Of steers and
''Broncho Busting" was particularly
Objectionable, the committee de-
clared. One member Of the com
mittee charged that horses in these
exhibitions are "doped" and their
eyes filled with red pepper. The
committee declared these two ex.
hibitions were scheduled Tor the
rodeo.
why not stage a prize fight in
stead?" suggested one member OF
the committee, Men know when
they've had enough and they can
quit. But a horse can't. He has
no way of yelling when he's being
hurt"
Members of the society indicated
that they would visit the show
grounds at every rodeo and imme'
diately call upon the police to make
arrests in cases where they believed
the animals were being subjected
to cruel treatment.
1.-THE police will be on the grounds
at all times and / will give instruc'
tons to them to see that there is
no cruelty to animals" Commits
sioner Oyster said.
How 1t Is Done.
"Bulldogging," the committee ex'
planned, means as follows:
"a steer is started from a corral
after reaching q predetermined mark
the rider forces his .horse alongside
the steer, both going at a fast
speed. The rider leans over, catches
the animals horns by grasping each
horn firmly with his hand; he drops
off his horse, runs alongside the
steer and stops MIN. Then com
mences the struggle between man
and beast. The steer is fear-crazed
and makes frantic efforts to get
away; the man reaches around
catches the animal by the nostrils
with one hand, twists it's head clear
around with the other and then
sinks his teeth into the lower liz
Of the animal, and the animal Is
forced to fall to earth or suffer q
broken neck
The committee comprised James
p. Briggs, John P. Heap Mrs. Tru
man G. Palmer, Mrs. Cabell Moore
Mrs. Benton Halstead, Mrs. H. c.
Moses, and Miss Barnes Richardson
When informed of the society's
protest, officials OF the rodeo re
iterated their statement of q few
days ago to the effect that it IL
not their intention Of putting or
any contests involving cruelty tt
animals. They denied there woult
be any so.called "bulldoging con
tests" and offered copies Of the
official program to prove theil

YALE STARS RISE
 IN GOLF IS UNIQUE
SWeetSer One Of Most Phenomenal
 Players on American Team

New York. April 25. fRy Associated Press) The rise 10 golflng fame of Jess William Swoetser. national anna teur champion, has been perhaps more sensational than that of any other member of the American team now in Great Britain with the possible escep- ton of Francis Ouimet. He is lock- ed upon as a dangerous competitor for the British amateur title event beginning May :. hulwark Of the Tank team which will defend the Walker International cup May 1S-lp.
 Genial of personality and indomi- table of courage on the links, the 21 year old Yale student gave promise of greatness for several years but few experts looked for the phe- nomenaiy brilliant display last fall nt Brookline that carried him to victory through one of the finest information al fields that ever competed for the American amateur title.
 Defeated Best Rivals.
 Flashing a game of almost flawlexs consistency, Sweetser marched to tri- umph by defeating on successive days Willie Hunter, Jesse Ciuilford, Bobby Jones and Chick Evans.
 Earlier in the season Sweetser cap tured the metropolitan amateur chaln- pionship. Picked as a member of the Walker cup team, which defeated the Britishers at Southampton, eight matches to four. Sweetser lost to c. V. L. Hooman 1 up in a 37 hole match, but paired with Jones he van quished Hooman and w. E. Torrance in a foursome.
 Sweetser first won national recog- nition in 1920 as interscholastic champion.
 He lost this title the next year. however, in the final round to J. Simpson Dean of Princeton.
 His first appearance in the nation al amateur was in 1920 at the engin- eers' club when he fell before Fred Wright member of this years in vading team in the third round. He was eliminated the next year ar St. Louis in the third round by Chick Evans. Competing in the national open in 1921 ne tied for l 18th place.
 Got Y At Yale.
 Scholastic duties threatened for a time to prevent Sweetser from join ing the American team but Yale au- thorities granted bi'n a leave of ap- sence and awarded him major in recognition of his national amateur victory.
 Sweetser is the youngest of the in- vading niblick wielders hiit possesses a sound, well rounded game that should carry him far toward triumph.
