"Where was thatW
"In Madison Square Garden"
"Who pulled it?"
"a young fellow-a Texan-I
didn't get his name"
From the judges stand came the
clang of the bell. The jockeys rode
up to hear the decision. When they
had ridden away, the announcing
Judge called for the contestant in
the next event-the fancy riding.
Four entries rode up and were
checked in. First came McCrossen,
Gun1ock foreman, tall and spare,
long haired and straight as statue,
riding the identical mare that had
taken the Circle Dot money the day
before.
Next for entry came a Gunlock
brave, accoutered with banded
hair in scant Indian fashion. The
third hope was q local boy in brave
apparel.
The fourth to rise up was the
night wrangler of the Circle Dot
outfit-not an alarming threat either
in looks or in reputation. He rode
the horse on which he had been so
badly beaten the day before, Lefe-
ver''s little chestnut gelding.
Three judges had been chosen to.
name the victor-Jim Laramie,
north-country cattleman, himself
rider of no mean ability; John Sell
wood, mining man who likewise
knew how. to ride; and an ex-sheritf,
Bill Pardaloe--now deputy.
The first test came in Indian
style riding. This meant bareback
first with bride stripped; then with
bride. The Reservation entry was
at home in this.
Pardaloe gave him hundred
points and waited for the next man.
The local hoy. passed out on this
test. McCr6ssen made splendid
showing, but his size was against.
him for that style of horsemanship.-
The wrangler, almost as large a.
man, seemed able better to twist
and wind himself around his geld:
ing. The last time he raced down
the course it looked at a distance
from the grandstand as if the horse
had lost his rider, so completely did
the wrangler hide himself on the
opposite side. N;
!, The judges, at least, decided;that
no: buck they had ever, seen: ride
could hide himself more effectual1y
from foe-they gave the Texan
par with the buck. McCrossen fell
a few points under the two. !.
Wild West riding followed. In
this McCrossen made perfect
score. His Long,. 1.-the body in ac-.
ton, his perfect ease and his strik-
ing garb brought enthusiastic ap-.
plause. The wrangler, now we'll
though. of, was a disappointment in
this test. He got through all the
work, but seemingly Enevenly and
with an effort. He dropped to
eighty points, with McCrossen at
par. Even the local boy and the
indian passed him.
"Looks like yesterday over again."
said Harry Boland, disposed to jeer
at SAVOY. "Guess your boy shot
his bolt on the first round"
The laugh seemed to- bore into
SAVOY. 1--WE don't quit yet" he
blurted out like one baff1ed but not
beaten.

"Looks like the wrangler is

Tension, when introduced, looked
over Sawdy's hope in his usual cold
blooded fashion. Jake SPOTS, the
profane barber shop-and-bar mag

asked for six hundred dollars. Jake
counted his roll. He showed four

Boland counted out two hundred

handed half of 1t back to Boland,

AUTO SMASHES
THROUGH WALL

Forced to steer his automobile
in a garage instead of an alley for
which he was turning, Andrew
Panagopoulos, of 9O6 Spring Rd.
N. w., narrowly escaped injury
last night when his car plunged
through the rear end of a frame
garage and came out in the back.
Panagopoulos explained that he
was attempting to turn into an
alley beside the garage when he
stepped on the accelarator instead
of the brake, which he intended
to push. The car lunged forward
so suddenly that he couldn't make
the turn, so he just sat tight and
took it on through the garage.
The garage, property of Aaron
Oster, of 918 Spring Rd. N. W.,
will be repaired by Panagopoulos,
