Four riders wero thrown and Verne Elliott was severely severe-ly Injured. The wholesale "piling"' of the crack riders of the west Is a thing unprecendcuted In tho championship cham-pionship contest. A buffalo yearling upheld the hon- or of his species by throwing all who attempted o ride him and many who attempted to sit a wild steer failed. Helen Bo wen fell from her horse In the woman's rcluy race but was not seriously hurt. A three-year-old steer fresh from the northern ranges deeply resented the advances of a moving picture operator from New York and made a lold rush for the operator who beat the Fleers to the fenco.
