This event baa created enormous interest
eastern audiences the past few years: because
<r wrestling is not a
j necessary accomplishment of the ranch hand. But «f<w*
| it was first originated about 1903 by the famous Texas
negro cowboy, Bill Pickett, it has been considered ao
daring and dangerous that a few years latar the white
cowboys took up the art of barehanded throwing of steers,
aod it has become the featured event, or "big wallop," of
practically every major rodao.
First called bulldoggigg on account of early piaaeers
of the sport, using the method of sinking their teeth into
the steer's lip in the process of forcing the steer down,
the title was changed to steer wreetling after the cow'-
boys, adverse to the biting part of the stunt, began throw-
ing the steers by application of scientific wrestling bolds.
Some very fine specimen, will b und in the coatest. at
Dublin, and from all indications the cowboys in this event
are going to be busy wbeu they “open the cbnte gates’*
ou April 28, 29, and 30.
The saddle bronc riding contest promisee te be of
outstanding calibre this season also. As everyone is well
