nilltshlrn Afraid «f rowi. {
It will pttil ably not surprise out
readers to hear that most Spanish bull-
flgliters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may. however, astonish :
them. A sportsmanlike otijeetlon to
peiweiitlng a female nnlmnl has noth
ing t\ lintever tn do with It. The fact Is
that tlu* average toreador Is alncerely
afraid c-f a row.
And la* has good reason. The rows of
the half wild’breed u*ed for the arena .
are much I’ulcker In their movements ;
than are the hulls. Their horns are,
ruort* jiolnfed and more formidable.
They do not lower their herds to the
ground, shut their eyes and rhurge like
it lieoinoflvr cpun Mir rails, hut art*
alert und ready to follow every move

like turtles have liecit rdnpted not to |

Is only n fechl<* mimic. If these cheap j
Idols of the Spanish pefinhiee would j
