A cowherd who tried to milk a wild cow would promptly have his brains kicked out. Performances like steer-wrestling, bronco-riding and wild-cow milking were a part of the World Series Rodeo that arrived in Manhattan last week for a stay of 19 days at Madison Square Garden. Grand climax of a circuit that attracts more than 3,000,000 customers...
