And there was an odor strange to Manhattan—wnere it’s quite an odor that qualifies as a stranger. It's rodeo time in Madison Square Garden again and Fog- horn Clancy (Frederick Melton Clancy if you'd risk a punch in the nose) points out the high- lights and big shots as rodeo men send 700 head of livestock pounding up and down the Garden's subterranean ramps like a World Series crowd at Yankee Stadium. The 200-pound Foghorn is a rt of chief Statistician” publicity drumbeater for the ro- dea “Like an oversized, Our- Townish* Frank Craven, he raises a hand@-tooled leather boot to the lower Trail of the undefground stockade, tamps a_ freshly-filled pipe, and explains in his gravel- lish ba: 10: ? those are outlaw buck- in’ horses. Don’t look ’specially mean, do they? But they are. I've seen ‘em in the chutes reach *round, grab a would-be rider by the arm and shake him like a eat playin’ with a mouse. Quite a story behina ‘em. “Yuh know (we didn’t) they’re descendants of Coronado’s horses. They were big, bred to carry a man wearin’ full armor. He turned ’em loose ,’stead of takin’ ‘em back, and they roamed the prai , wild, for centuries. “Runnin’ wild, they lost in stature but gained in stamina and cunning. Those smaller, crafty, mean horses are the cutlaw buckers. Some of ‘em. bred with other horses and a larger strain developed. They're hot fhe true outlaw buckets you see heté. Matter of fact the trué outlaw’s gettin’ scarce, we have to keep on the lookout for ‘em all the time now”. Foghorn pauses, speaks to a neatly dressed cowboy going up the ramp and say: in as near an undertone as his voice will al- low “That’s Bill Clements, head man in the Cowboys’ Turtle As- sociation”. A look at his listeners’ and he explains: “That's the cowboy's union. Yuh see, when they met to form the organization, some of the boys suggested some long, high- soundin’ names. One ol’ boy, aft- er so much of that, rose and said, ‘Now, let’s not get no high-faul- in’ monicker for this outfit. We got a good idea but don’t let’s go too fast. Let’s just move along slow like a turtle, not runnin’ harum - scarum but knowin’ whére we're goin’’” So it’s the Cowboys Turtle Association. Then the Brahma bulls up the ramp and Foghorn plains about how they came from the coast counties in Texas here the dreaded fever tick faces urt them strong fellas, ”, says Clancy. “But every 1as to go through three creo- dips before it can legally be broug into ‘clean country’.” Then Dan Hines, a former Texas Ranger and the atena di- rector for this year’s Madison Square Garden rodeo, stops by to say hello and to laugh with Foghorn about Al Neapolitan. New York’s only entrant in the championship contest running at the Garden until Oct. 28. “He's the broneo buster from the bron: Foghorn says and laughs. “Enters every year and gets thrown regular. He'll make a rider someday, though”. “If he don’t get killed Hines contributes as he away. Then the longhorn steers come down, and later the wild cows from the milking contest and finally all the activity is over up in the arena But they don't sell tickets to the best part of the show—down where Foghorn gives you all the sidelights.
