Then there’s bucking.
Bucking and the rodeo events
that accompany It Is about the
most popular spectator sport in
the country. That means It draws
about the most people to watch
It Not many folks want to board
one of those bucking horses when
he rares around 4Jn the chute,
bawling a little and trying to find
some one close so he can stick
his foot in a human face. They
are unpleasant characters at such
times.
There’s really not many folks
who become participants in this
rodeo game and even the biggest
shows
have a comparatively
small cast. It is a risky business.
' Take a look at Bob Erzler who
is leaving Banjo by the air route,
y e looks as If he were flying but
will probably hit the ground ker
plunk in a * second and that
white shirt will need a washing
and Bob will need a new start of
air for breathing.
here. And there’s alwayB a bunch
of men who don’t care Ipr broken
arms or legs or necks who will
ride them for glory and honor
and a few bucks.
" Bucking is one pursuit at which
little practice is- obtained. I t 'U
like parachute jumping. If you’re
not good at it you only last a
couple of seconds and if you are
good you can get maybe ten sec
onds of practice. The guy who
needs it the worst gets the least
But it does beat the deuce (not
a very high card) how much a
man can learn in five seconds.
Win Powers has gone to driv
ing tractor and herding cows In
stead of following the buckers

Sure, there’ll be bucking and
rodeo events at the Sherman
county fair, it is a habit.
The
spectators demand it. The board
provides it
Mack Barbour is bringing his
string of bucking horses down
from the Lewiston show7. Some
of them were at the Pendleton
Round-Up where they were found
tough.
Some of the riders will
come, too so you will be see in;;
much the same show as If you
had driven three hundred miles.
There will be calf roping and
bull dogging and bull riding and
bareback riding, and all will be
sandwiched in between the horse
races to fill up the afternoon.
Yoy know, even people who
say they don’t like bucking yell
just like any one else when a
rider balances on thin air a mo
ment and no can tell whether
the horse is going to be there
you wouldn’t wonder when you
«• see what sometimes happens to.

Oh, Yes, there’s something do

good.

Get you a good comfortable

when he comes down again or
not. And when the rider loses
his balance or lets his head begin
to bob there is a thrill that they
all feel even if their favorite
game is Tiddly-winks.
Now there’s Numa McOoin sit
ting up there like he was riding
a merry-go-round horse.
The-
sailing through the air isn’t the
worst part of it, the boys say; It
is the stopping. That’s like a lot
of other things easy to start and
hard to stop.
Rodeb events at the Sherman
county fair have helped make
the fair’s fine record for enter
tainment because the quality of
them has been so uniformly good.
There’s good horses (you under
