n TENICO CITY. Mex. Nov. IL
I Wl There is an opportunity for some
American cowboy TO win laurels
in the Mexico City bull ring. A good
cowboy could become the king OF
I toreadOrs with his bare hands.
Nothing could be more frritatingly
tame and tawdry than q bull fight
Dozens Of bull fighters come forth IN
gold and silver costumes 20 harass
and eventually kill a foolish bull,
who cannot tell his real enemy from
a piece Of rag. II n bull fighter is
injured it is due TO the clumsiness Of
the bull fighter. For. no matter how
many bulls appear for combat. there
is no change in the stupid. clumsy,
silly ways Of the doomed toro.
Is An Easy Stunt.
In the western cattle country there
are cowboys who could jump on the
back Of any Of the Mexican fighting
bulls. seize the animal by the horns
and bring It to earth or break its
neck. This feat. which has been per
formed by hundreds Of men who never
did earn $4,000 in a single afternoon.
calls for greater dexterity and cour-
age than that OF Mexico's idolized
toreadorss who earn mole than opera
singers.
II may be that the Mexican
multitudes would not greet the
cowboy with enthusiasm. be-
cause he would make the MASTER
Ing OF n bull such a simple mat
ter. But a few cowboys might
awaken the Mexican people to
the sordid tamenesS Of their ull-
fighting pnEeants and cause them
to turn TO sports in which all Of
the participants have @nshtinE

No Real Danger.
Auvona familiar with che rr-nvre ~
bulls knows that there is no real dan

every effort is made 20 emphasize the
supposed dangers Of the arena. In
the first Of the six contests which
make up a bull fighting spectacle the
tOreadors and their assallants jump

haste to escape danger. but they soon
