Romulus Emlea voreil to Duplicate
file Pent of 1 rsiis, In “Quo Ynili*.*’
From the Kansas City Journal.
El Paso, Tex., Feb. 21.—Romulus, the
Italian strong man and the idol of the
s|>ort lovers of Mexico, attempted yester
day afternoon to repeat the fabled feat of
Drsus, the giant Lygian of Sienkiewiez’
popular romance, by wrestling with and
conquering a gigantic bull.
The battle took place in the arena in Ciu
dad Juarez, across the Rio Grande, and
resulted in a victory for the bull.
Romulus' failure was not due to lack of
courage, agility or stamina on his part,
and it was not until the struggle had last
ed for two hours that the man, exhausted,
bleeding and bruised, finally acknowledg
ed himself defeated. The bull was a mag
nificent specimen of the bovine tribe, a
4-year-old Shorthorn, weighing 1,600
I>ounds.
He was selected by the city authorities
of Cuidad Jaurez, who always take a hand
in public exhibitions to see that people get
the worth of their money. Two thousand
people, drawn largely from the American
sldeof the river, witnessed the contest,
which was full of exciting features, not
withstanding the failure of the man to se
cure victory. Romulus was assisted by two
professional bull-fighters.
These men aided in maddening the ani
mal and getting him into a lighting mood,
though the Italian was forced to do most
of this work himself, as it was necessary
for him to keep in the thick of the melee
to get an opportunity to seize the beast by
the horns, which were encased in rubber
sheathing to give the gladiator a firm
hold.
Wheu the beast was released into the
ring he charged right and left at the three
unarmed men, and it was ten minutes be
fore Romulus succeeded in seizing him by
one hoin. In a twinkling the brute jerked
ills head up and to one side, throwing
the athlete over his back and landing him
twenty feet away. The undaunted men
leaped up unharmed and returned at once
to the conflict. Again he secured a crip
on one horn and again was te hurled over
the animal's head quicker than a flash.
Time and again the intrepid athlete ap
proached the lowered head of the madden
ed brute, only to be charged, and several
limes he was tossed Into the air, but for
tunately he landed on his feet and was
able to leap to one side before the bull
could reach him again.
Four times during the conflict the man
succeeded in grasping both horns, hut was
shaken off before he could bring his
strength to bear. In the midst of the
conflict the, sheathing was torn from the
horns of the animal, and. In spite of the
fearless man, the authorities interfered
and ordered them retraced.
This afforded a ludicrous feature to the
programme. Two ragged Mexicans clad in
the typical garb of the country and arm
ed with ropes entered the arena to lasso
the now thoroughly maddened brute. In
a flash he charged upon the foremost,
knocked him down and trampled him, rnd
then turning upon the other, treated him
in a similar manner. Fortunately, neither
man was seriously hurt, and the animal
was finally roped, thrown and the sheaths
teplaced ppon his horns.
, Later the coverings were again torn off
and the Lull In charging the athlete caught
him under the kneecap with one of the
sharp poinls, laming the man so that It
was useless to continue the struggle fur
ther.
Then the Mexican rabble leaped into the
ring and harrussed the creature until the
speciators dispersed. Romulus was seen
after the battle and asked to relate Ilia
experience. He was badly bruised from
head to toot. One eye was swollen and
hi* thumb had been half severed by one
of the shap-pointed horns of his antagon
ist. He spoke modestly and simplly of his
attempt to equal the feats of the gladia
tors of old. He said;
"I have performed this feat repeatedly
in private and three limes in public in the
interior of Mexico, and this is my first
failure. In this contest the conditions
were all in favor of the bull.
“The animal selected by the Juarez au
thorities was of the Shorlhorn variety and
not a typical Mexican bull, which has w.do
hoi-ns. which taper gradually to the ends.
The ends of the horns are wide apart and
small enough to allow me to secure a
firm grip, and I am able to bring my
strength to tear and twist the bull's neck
in a short time, as did Ursus in the story
of ‘Quo Vadls.’ "
“The horns of the animal I fought to
day were bo large that 1 could not clast*
my fingers firmly nbout them, and the
ends being so close together I could not
got sufficient leverage to keep him from
twisting his head from side to skle. and
throwing me off. Furthermore, the bull
had fought in the arena before, and knew
the tricks of the sport. He did not waste
his strength in useless charging.
“11 is well known that no professional
bull fighter will meet an animal which
has once fought in the ring. So you see
that contrary to custom in this case it
was the man who had no chance. With
an onLnary bull with horns of average
length and thickness I am more than a
match.”
Romulus' appearance in the ring did not
belie his claims, und no gladiator of old
Rome could have displayed superior pow
ers of courage and agility, in which he
far excelled the trained bull fighters who
were his associates. He Is short In stature
and weighs only 150 pounds, but he has
a chest girth of fifty-one inches, a chest
expansion of eleven Inches and he meas
ures seventeen and one-half inches around
the biceps.
