CIUDAD ACUNA, MEXICO (UPI) - A blonde woman bullfighter from the United States fought hysteria and fatigue yesterday to kill her second bull with such skill she won its ears and tail.
Patricia Hayes, 23, was knocked to the sand six times in fighting two successive bulls. Her second bull was especially unruly, but when the "moment of truth" came she won cheers.
The "moment of truth" is the climax of the bullfight - when matador and bull face each other, then the matador reaches over the dangerous horns to kill the bull by plunging a sword between its shoulders.
Patricia shoved and beat off attendants who wanted her to leave the ring. Gasping for breath, she went into mild hysteria as she poised with muleta and sword for the second bull's final rush.
The snorting bull's headlong run at the slender woman came to a lurching end when Miss Hayes, steady with cape and sword, reached over the horns for the kill.
A clamor of bravos rose from the stands in the La Macarena bullring, followed by the rare award of the animal's ears and tail.
The limping girl from San Angelo, Tex., and Pulaski, Tenn., had not fully recovered from a goring and mauling she suffered at Acapulco, Mexico, last Jan. 9. That encounter left her with a brain concussion, several broken ribs and serious leg cuts.
