At the final change she widened the gap , between herself and Lorena Trickey,. last year's winner and won out by two horse length. It was a race with a lot of thrills as the runner-up In each round threatened to cut down the margin, only to lose it on the change.

Frank McCarroU was first to bull- dog and he had to take a second run at the steer before he downed him by me east bleachers. Je& Btahl, col ored bulldogger, had a tough animal and he, too, had to go to the east bleachers. Walter Sterling's steer carried him over the rail and his time too, was slow. Norman Cowan found a tough old steer and chased him all over the lot. ua:ng the limit of time to get his animal down. lucian Wil liams, Indian, pursued his steer to the " bandstand on the north, side of the field before getting him down. Ion Brownell fell to the ground trying; for his steer's horns. Time was up be fore he got the horns down. Yakima Canutt. last year's world 1 champion, made the best time of the bunch thus far by nailing his steer near the west end of. the stand. He put the horns down in quick: order. Yak was well received as he rode up on a white horse, saddled with his last year's prise. Hazel Cowan tied Canutt for time s on his steer and was cheered rounds ly. Roth made 2$ 1-5 seconds. Seidel had to ride to the bleachers for his but downed him. quickly.
