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.

PHILLIES GIVEN
FIGHTING CHANCE
FOR FIRST PLACE
BRADENTOWN, Pla. 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. We.
have a fighting chance to get
somewhere this year.1
