TO BULL,
So FUNSTON BANS
THE BULL FIGHT
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
Cwritten for the United Press).

VERA CRUZ, MEXICO, June 20
CBy Mail to New Yorkl-"The bull
doesn't get fair chance, was the
reason which General Funston gave
for prohibiting bull-nghting in Vera
Cruz. It's thoroughly good Ameri-
can reason. Here's an Instance Of
how Americans agree with the fair
fighting little brigadier from Kansas.
AS soon as hull-hghting ceased
cuick-brained, money-mad little
Spaniard who runs a theatre in big
frame building here dug up moving
picture film which had been taken at
the height Of the season in the great
hull ring at Madrid Five Of the
greatest bull-hghters in the world
Pastor and Gaona. Mexican idols, in
oluded-were shown killing one bull
each. Each bull In turn was shown
on the screen in the act Of killing
six or eight splendid horses. The
many Americans IN the audience on
the first night, were sickened with
disgust The Spanish and Mexican
trick Of permitting a bull to toss a
heavy horse about on its horns, until
IL is tired out, was soon spotted by
the American beholders They saw
that each valiant" matador, just be-
fore the final thrust. was facing, not
wild. feroeious bull but a pitifully
exhausted and weak wreck that could
harm no one. They realized in full,
what Funston meant when he said,
THE bull hasn't a chance"
The film showed the sixth bull en-
tering the ring, to be faced by the
great Spanish fighter. Fuentes And,
all of a sudden, the picture stopped,
several printed lines were thrown on
the screen, explaining that the next
view would show how Fuentes had
been terribly injured by the bull. An
odd murmnr ran through the audi
ence. IL was pay night and many
soldiers were in the crowd. The pic
ture was resumed The bull APP
preached the matador: the matador
slipped; the bull caught him in the
stomach with his horns: it ran about
the ring, shaking the hero" like a
rag. Someone in the rear clapped.
Someone near him Joined him. In a
minute the clapping was general.
Three cheers for the bull yelled an
army captain There we're fifty
cheers. The picture whirled along;
Fuentes was shown being flung
through the air. senseless heap:
! dozen valiant" bull-hghters were
shown rushing for the fence with the
bull after them. like a summer girl
fleeing from a COW. The cheering
became wild
Suddenly soldier grabbed a Mexi-
can by the nape of the neck, stood
him on his feet and then knocked him
down. "The son Of a gun was hiss
ing the bull" he explained to a COM
rade as the lights went out.
