Triunfo Por Zotoluco
Ante un lleno y un buen ambiente se
realizó la tercera corrida de la Feria del caballo en Texcoco, Estado de México,
que dejó como triunfador al Maestro Eulalio López “Zotoluco” con el corte de
tres orejas, y entonadas actuaciones de Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza y Fermín
Rivera.
El rejoneador navarro Pablo Hermoso de
Mendoza se presentó en esta Feria toreando con mucha clase al primero de su lote
de la ganadería de Los Encinos, sin embargo fallo con el rejón de muerte y su
labor fue silenciada, con el segundo de su lote se ha enfrentado a un muy buen
astado de la misma ganadería el cual se prestó para el lucimiento del caballista
español que ha realizado una faena muy entonada y que caló fuerte en el tendido
texcocano, destacó en los pares al quiebro y la buena manera de sus caballos,
señaló un rejón poco trasero y su labor fue ovacionada.
El maestro Zotoluco ha tenido una tarde
triunfal en la Plaza Silverio Pérez, con su primero de San Diego de los Padres
ha toreado por nota por ambos lados, dejando un buen sabor desde los primeros
lances, tandas con mucha largueza y buen ritmo que le fueron coreadas, dejó una
buena estocada para cortar una oreja , teniendo petición de la segunda que el
juez no otorgó.
Ante el de regalo ha dejado una faena muy
buena, saliendo a defender su primer lugar como figura del toreo mexicano,
Zotoluco dio el todo por el todo en este astado dejando una faena muy buena con
tandas por ambos lados que le fueron coreados y con los gritos de torero,
torero, una labor aseada y con mucha torería fue la que realizó el maestro para
terminar con una buena estocada y cortando dos orejas, para salir a hombros de
este coso ante la algarabía de la afición.
En tanto que Fermín Rivera ha estado por
encima de su lote, sin embargo pechó con dos toros que no se prestaban para el
triunfo, sin embargo a base de carácter y torería el potosino pasó buenos
momentos sobretodo con el segundo al cual le ha realizado una faena entregada
destacando dos tandas con mucho sabor por el lado derecho, dejó un pinchazo y
una estocada para ser ovacionado.

The Needless Death Of Juan Gallo
Juan Gallo was a promising, but inexperience young novice from Aguascalientes who met a senseless death. How far he might have gone had he lived will never be known, for a horn cut short both his career and his life in Aguascalientes n 1940. The whole affair was tragic and preventable.
In a full corrida de toros, Gallo was allowed by the promoter to make the parade, though only a novillero, placed on the cartel as a sobresaliente. or spare man.
One of the established matadores on the card motioned the young man into the ring, allowing him to make a few guest passes with the full grown toro in the ring. While a sporting gesture, Gallo was not experienced enough to face such an animal and what happened next showed it.
Rushing out with the capote, Gallo dropped to his knees for an intended farol de rodillas, but out himself in difficult terrain and as the animal advanced, it became obvious the maneuver was not going to work. While he had faced and done well with the smaller bulls prior to this, he was confronting a gigantic toro he should not have even been on the sand with. This time, he pressed his luck too far
Rising, Gallo tried to make an escape, but too late, the animal crashed into him and gored him.
The unfortunate torero ended up receiving a large horn wound in the leg, similar to the one that killed Paquirri decades later. The femoral artery was damaged and little could be done to save him. He passed away in the infirmary shortly after the corrida concluded.
Thus ended the life of Juan Gallo, snuffed out due to an opportunity that took a tragic turn and a desire to gain fame which over ruled common sense.
