BRED in Mexico are theoretically the equal of those raised in Spain but things have gone amiss durmg past years bulls unhappily are getting worse all the time MaJ Salvador Lopez Hurtado owner of Plaza Monuments1 In Juarez (and a doctor of veterinary medicine) peeled out of his laboratory overalls to explain his views on- the situation Mood lines in Mexican bred bulls originaUy came from Spanish the Major said the best of our blood lines have been in-bred for the last 45 The Major explained that in-breeding is where males and females of the same Mood line are mated to one another Mood lines become weakened by the sixth generation and the breeder may lose many of the desirable characteristics In-breeding may affect the size temperament and valor of the bulls Climatic conditions have also taken their toll The Major -said that drouths throughout Mexico during the past seven years have hindered die ranching facilities Spain bullfighting is a national religion sponsored by the government Payments are made to keep the breeders in business Here in Mexico land-distributing policies of the government have sliced many of the Mg ranches from about 50000 acres to 5000 Though this has estaMished some good small herds like Chucho Cabrera it weakened many of the bigger Characteristics of a Good Bull WHAT ARE THE characteristics of a well-bred fighting bull? muscular development is slung low and forward built wide in the front for strong breathing 'capacity His tail is long and silken and a keen glare about his wide eyes hooves are small for agility and his horns are not too far in or too straight he comes into the ring he goes for the first target and sticks with it A properly bred bull will know in a fight when he steps into the ring and relish A damp nose and wet lips a luster on his coat will indicate healthy and ready for the battle The Major named La Punta San Mateo La Laguna and Tequisquiapan as the best bull herds in Mexico The animals when ready for the ring at the age of four years weigh about 850 pounds (Age is indicated by the on the horns The first ring represents three years but each succeeding ring means one more year) Under the best breeding circumstances tilings may still go wrong An unfortunate intelligence may show up to ruin a good blood line Intelligent Bulls Learn Quickly AN INTELLIGENT BULL will learn quickly the difference between the cape and the man A bullfight is impossible when the bull knows the difference The Major pointed out that the Zacatepec herd developed this problem Penuelas herd developed the undesirable characteristic of sticking with a fallen matador The bulls are excellent in all ways but once the man was down it was difficult to distract the animal best bull is one that is brave straight-charging and rather the Major said What about the bull that jumps the barrier and causes havoc on the sidelines? -a coward and wants to get back to the the Major said Well-bred bulls can be split into two categories: The ferocious highly anxious type and the quick smooth-charging kind "Both are very he said "But the important thing in any fighting bull is his Bicod from Spanish bull? has not been fused Into the Mexican lines because hoof and mouth disease laws have forbidden the exchange of the animals not the problem We have the blood lines here in Mexico What we need is co-operation between Mexican Breeders to interchange and revive these blood as it rderi Whyringside 8eat corrida costsas much It 8500: a fitting bull is priced Friend Joey Hopes Pat Retires MY FRIEND JOEY GONZALES who

Says- How Dare LA Oppose Saintly D1 Amato humiliation In linking him with to the identity and character of the the sinister Carbo the Angelenos promoter It can be Weill or Zsa imply that Rocky old manager is without competence in the dark devious arts of the beak Zsa Gabor Their only interest is in the fight They want to lose it to New York (heaver forbid) or any other city A coarse pagan like attitude from which the saintly one can draw but small solace busting trade It must be the smog Meanwhile the newspapers out there betray total indifference as Leo Forti Celebrates 41st Birthday by Pitching Hitting Team to Win of scoffers will cry them down in evil malicious glee These mean petty people will denounce the saintly one as a charlatan or worse they will ridicule the mysterious gift that enables him to maketh a purse (including a hefty TV cut) out of a ear they will in their blind savagery even turn on the newly anointed penitent with sticks and stones until and this is the unutterable pity of it Weill is forced to flee to the wicked but comforting busom of the Carbos et al And yet it must be admitted that mere eathlings of irresolute truest can become understandly confused even suspicious when the saintly one installs as his right hand man one of the most accomplished manipulators in the game and further selects as the opponent a fighter who has appeared in promotions not always deemed free of influences which professes to loathe Whether Weill will be licensed to preside over the Patterson-Harris devotionals as yet to be decided It should incidentally be

battering Rocky Randell of Houston the Texas lightweight champion to a unanimous decision There were no knockdowns but Jorgensen weighing pounds almost put Randell who weighed in at 135 to the canvas in the third with an overhand right Jorgensen used punishing body punches and shaip shots to the head to land almost at will on the courageous Randell An exhibition featuring Roy Harris of Cut and

shudder to think what will happen to Los Angeles if the boxing lords out there persist in questioning the moral fitness of Al Weill to promote a heavyweight championship between Floyd Patterson and Roy Harris the celebrated nonentity of Cut and Shoot Texas It is all too clear they have no con- ception of the om- WILLIAMS nipotence of our Cus One word from him and the city to all practical purposes may cease to exist If in the mood to temper justice with mercy he may merely obliterate it as a boxing center As custodian of the champion humbly garbed in halo and angelic plumeage has already quarantined the International Boxing Club in toto and reduced to cringing braggery all others in the sport who failed to acknowledge his Messiahship There comes a time when even the wisest and most charitable men must resort to harsh retaliation in the interests of a better world The Angelenos can not hope to escape the wrath of dedicated spiritual leader on the grounds of ignorance That Weill had been purged of all sinful taint and unholy blemish by the saintly one himself and therefore was one with the apostolic elite was well and widely known Tb forgive is dlvnie and did no more than adhere to churchly dogma in naming Weill as his West Coast missionary notwithstanding the past connections with the IBC and his admitted intimacy with Frankie Carbo the odious Lucifer of Leather
