Sports Of The Stairs {Continued from page jj) al)OUt what it"d be like. When I was with Ringling's Circus, we had experience ropin' all sorts of queer animals, when they used to ' get loose from their cages. The toughest baby of all was the polar bear. He fights you with his paws, just like a man. If you rope him, he reaches up and slips it right off his neck. Then, too, he can knock a horse clean over. We had real thrills when the polar bears escaped, I'm tellin' you. " We had a water buffalo in the circus, and I used to rope him. That was easy, but one time I thought it'd be a swell dish to bulldog him, and I sold the idea to Mr. Ringling. I guess that was one of the biggest thrills I e\'er had. It wasn't till I got hangin' under his head at full speed ahead that 1 realized his horns were shaped so's to make it impossible to bring him down — sort o' flat back on his head. My arm was wedged under them and I couldn't move him an inch. But he moved me plenty before we were through. The silliest thing of all, seems to me, is fox huntin', English style. I never seen anything that was an> sillier. All those red coats, and tootin' of horns, and bayin' of hounds — and a mob of big fellers on horseback all goin' after that poor fox. Of course, to everyone his likes and dislikes. But where they get the sport out of that stuff beats me. Just absolutely silly, I say. I've killed e\-ery darn thing there is, 1 should say. And when you'\ e done all of it that I've done, you get kind of tired of it. Of course, there's good shots and bad shots: if you're one of the bad ones by nature, 1 suppose you'll always get sport out of huntin', because of all the times you miss. Must make it seem like the jK)or beast has got a chance, or somethin'. But if you can shoot straight, it's just duck soup, at least as far as anything in this part of the world is concerned. The only thing I will say is that you can have some of the best times in your life on those huntin' expeditions, with two or three fellers along with you. And bear meat! That's somethin' worth goin' after, any day of the week. But call it bear meat and not sport that you're seekin'. That's my idea. Ropin' — well now, that is sporty. That ropin' expedition to Africa is goin' to be my big moment. I'll take along a bunch of first-rate cowboys who know their stuff, and then we'll see what we can do with the big game in those parts. Elephants is about the only thing we shan't ha\e a go at. It wouldn't be much use ropin' one o' them — at least, not with a handful of men, anyway. It takes an army to hold on to 'em. But we'll certainly try it on rhino. It'll be a thrill, and one heck of a novelty, too. That's why I'ni thinkin' quite seriously of takin' cameras along and makin' a picture. Everybody's pretty tired of pictures of lion and rhino gettin' shot, and the proud gunntan posin' with his foot on the animal's head. But it ain't so much to be proud about. As I been sayin', as long as you can shoot straight, it's easy as pie. That's how it is in America, and I figure that's how it is in Africa, too. If we can't rope those rhino good and proper, I miss my guess. And anyhow, whatever happens, we ought to get some good pictures, not to mention the thrills we'll get and the good times. The more you shoot, the more you want to get back to ropin'. Huntin' poor little bears and lions is too easy. Meantime, I go on tryin' to hit one of those darned coyotes from my 'plane, out f)ver the Mojave desert. Those coyotes sure have got a good chance — I ain't hit one yet. One slip, that close to the ground in a 'plane, and it's all over.
