Argentine Horses to Run 1000-Mile Race nrRNos AirtK8, (ap a horse race of l.itaO miles has been organized hern to determine, the vexed question of whether the na tive Argentine horse, or criollo. hns 'a superior In stamina. The pampas i bred animal's resistance to fatigue has become proverbial, and many remarkable feats of endurance ac complished by horses of this breed are on record. Nevertheless, In a series of 12-hour races run over the, Palermo racetrack last year, the winners usually turned out to be horses possessing one. or more crosses of foreign thoroughbred blood. In covering, roughly. 120 miles In 12 hours, these horses un doubtedly displayed extraordinary alamtna and, although the admir ers of the criollo are the first to admit the fact, they contend that tho trial was not severe enough to test the endurance of their favor ites. Dr. Kmlllo Roland, a breeder of criollo horses, has Issued a chal lungo to run two animals of that breed against two horses of any other pure blood whatever, over a distance of l.Otio miles, the com petitors to carry a weight equal to that of a cavalry soldier with his equipment. His challenge hns been taken up by Agustin do Ella, who will run two thoroughbred horses descended from the English racer lionnie Dundee, which was import ed by Re nor de Ella's grandfather more than 70 years ago. The racn will take place in April. i i ' i Sir- ! t 1 y 0BBIEIIIiaBSIEBBgBB'IBBBHBIIEP a i n ill The New Standard Six Duplex-Phaeton price f. o. b. factory r HERE is only one car in JL the world that combines the advantages of an open car widi the protection of an enclosed car yet sells at open-car price.

By the Associated Press) Bolstered by three new Inflelders, by George Burns, the veteran on fielder, and by two promising young pitching prospects, the Philadelphia Na tionals have a fighting chance "to get somewhere this season." in the opinion of Arthur Fletcher, who Is starting his third season as man ager of the perennially anil pro verbially lowly Phils. Only Shortstop Ilelnie Sand of last year's Infield, will start as a regular. Waller Kimmlck, with the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league last year, will be at second. Kelson Hawks, formerly of Memphis, wilt hold down first, while H uber, a Texas league prod uct, will make bis debut at third. "I hflleve I have a better team than 1 had last year" said -Fletcher Wednesday. "The Infield is much Improved. It is much faster than last year's and is surer on de fensive plays. I am putting In three new men. Hand alone of last year's .infield will start in my reg ular line-up on opening day. "George Burns, the veteran who came to us from Cincinnati, will surely start as one of my regular oul fielders. "I will switch old Cy Williams from center to right field and place Harper, a ball hawk, who led tho league last year, us a fielder, in center. Thus I will have. Mnkan and Hchults! for utility use.
