LET 'ER BUCK 



Corbett, short, well built and gritty, is the top- 

 notcher in the standing race, having the distinction of 

 riding six consecutive years at the Round-Up in this 

 contest in which he won two third prizes, three second 

 places and pulled of! one first world's championship in 

 which he set a new record in 1916 by beating out 

 Hoot Gibson's 1913 record by only one-fifth of a 

 second. 



Other names rank high in this eight-footed tandem 

 race. Cannon, Kennedy and Walters have all made 

 championship rides, also Jimmy Taylor in 1920, 

 Saunders, Joyce, Zedicar, Leihe and Homer Wilson 

 go in for this, and a new rider Walter Sterling. 



Among these race entrants are six of the greatest 

 trick and fancy riders of the world. Take that clean- 

 limbed, fair-haired chap, as modest and likable as he 

 is good looking, — that's Otto Kline, star performer. 

 Then there are the two Seale brothers, Sid and Walter, 

 also Leonard Stroud and Johnny Baldwin. Just wait 

 till you see them. You will be interested in that buck- 

 skin horse, it's Tillie Baldwin's pet. The one with 

 those unnaturally long, curved up eyelashes which 

 fringe out like a pair of old paint brushes. Some of 

 the boys believe these bristles should be clipped, one 

 remarking "Tillie you ought 'er roach his blinkers." 



"No sirree, Sampson had his hair cut and you know 

 what it did to him," came back Tillie with a twinkle in 

 her eyes. 



Just before you reach the entrance of the grounds, 

 you recall we passed a line of old time stagecoaches 

 drawn up outside the gates. What a story some of 

 them could tell — so, too, could some of the drivers who 

 have raced them in the arena. Joe Cantrell, a remark- 

 able driver, holds the record on championship drives
