Pathex Motion Pictures 31 "The Chase for the Cockade" No. E 8 One Reel $1.00 There are some kinds of bull-fights which do not call for the killing of the animal. In this one the object is to pluck a ribbon cockade from between the horns of the wild steer. You will see it done with one accident. "Wrestling" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 9 One Reel $1.00 Nat Pendleton, professional heavyweight champion of Europe, demonstrates this ancient sport in both fast and slow pictures. "Over the Jumps" From Pathe Review No. E 10 One Reel $1.00 Horsemanship by a horsewoman; hedge and barrier jumps, the correct riding position on taking off and landing, and other principles are demonstrated in the action. "Push Ball" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 11 One Reel $1.00 The push ball is a leather sphere something more than six feet in diameter — a magnified football, and in the film it is played with teams of fifty men — a full hundred in a strenuous and picturesque sport. "Throwing Things" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 12 One Reel $1.75 From baby throwing a purse to the Olympic stars of hammer, shot, and javelin! Slow and action pictures that will prove most interesting and a source of instruction to the boy.
