Comedy Bull Fight Is Usurping
Place of Time-Honored Sport
In Mexico.

MEXICO CITY. April 3o.-Is the
comedy bull fight usurping the place
of the time-honored national sport OF
Mexico? This question has arisen be-
cause of the large attendances that
have marked the recent series OF bull
fight burlesques presented here by a
troupe of comedians. Emulating
cavorts about the ring performing all
kinds of antics with the bull to the de-
light of the crowds. He plays cards
while seated on the animal, is carried
through the dust while gripping the
bovine's tail and ornerwise keeps the
spectators In an uproar. Others OF the
troupe appear in full dress suits, some
In grotesque, padded costumes and
permit the bulls to toss them in the
air. In the comedy spectacles the bull,
after much buffoonery, Is eventually
killed, but no horses are used. In
the real fights horses are always a
feature.
Because the comedy fights have at
tracted so much interest some Mexi-
cans fear for the future of the old
sport, and when recently a group Of
six pretty senoritas were advertised
os yum ilbhltTs anu ACTUALLY dpptHF-
ed in various parts of the republic it
was too much for one writer who, in
a contribution to Eel Democratic Of
Mexico City, says in part:
THE feminine has for many years
been succeeding in almost every activ-
ity and the bull fight could not be ex-
cepted In this order One group of
feminine bull fighters was organized
in Spain and some of the matadoras
used nicknames. such as a "Reverte,"
Angelica" etc. These were the
pioneers of the feminine element in
the bull rings. think women should
go to the bull fights to decorate the
galleries and make the fiesta merry
occasion, but they should not con-
tribute to gloom, because IL is gloomy
to see three or four women shivering
with fear before an inoffensive bull,
and also rolling in the dust while the
public laughs. The bull fight, above
all, Is a manly sport The man is
needed, but women in the ring only
bring down the scorn of the public. II
was a pity last Sunday to see several
women fly in panic amid laughter
Notwithstanding the fact that the
bulls were very tame. But when a
member of the group rolled in the
dirt and shivered with fear the fem
mime theories rolled with her"

Many of these men are either mar
ried or have others dependent upon
them for support. and they declare
that they will carry their fight to the
floors of Congress for the enforce
ment of the law, which provides that
in the event Of reductions being made
in the force in any Of the executive
departments, no honorably discharged
soldier or sailor whose record in
that department is rated as good shall
be discharged or reduced in salary.
RATINGS ARE Criticized.
In order to get around this law.
the soldiers claim. unfair efficiency
ratings are being made in their cases.
Charges of unfair efficiency ratings
OF ex-soldiers and other employees in
the office of the chief of finance. War
Department. have already been filed
with Secretary of War Weeks by the
ex-service men who were recently
given what was purported to be their
efficiency ratings.
As a result of this charge, which
was made a few weeks ago, Secretary
Weeks ordered an investigation made
by the Inspector Generals office,
which designated Col. o. e. Hunt to
conduct an inquiry.
According to the men, Colonel
Hunt spent ten days or more in TAX
ing testimony, but they declare that
the course he adopted was such that
an additional protest was filed with
the War Department against Colonel
Hunts procedure in the inquiry.
PROTEST ON INQUIRY.
The clerks charge that Colonel
Hunt intimated that he was
prejudiced against them. that they
were not advised as to the extent OF
the inquiry, and that the fnvestiga-
ton was conducted in such a manner
as to develop and emphasize only
those aspects of the case favorable
to the defendants.
According to Joseph b. Lotion, an
ex-service man in this office. the in
spector, during the hearings, fire.
ouently suspended the record and
had informal discussions which oper-
ated to the detriment Of the soldier
plaintiffs, and that his remarks were
frequently such as to intimidate the
witnesses.

ex-soldiers were dropped from the
payrolls OF the office of the chief OF

-Four of these men were employed
in my section and I know they were
excellent clerks and were so re-.

ice men whom they out-ranked were

According to many OF the ex-ser-

year, no effort was made by the Fl

other Jobs, as claimed by the bureau.
