Where Auxiliary Members Gather Today z t.-.-iV 'vv ' .... . . " . ....... 1 V.--'',tJ tsVt '.k liy CJayle Talbot, Jr. (Associated Press Staff Writer) DALLAS tP) The 10.00O meters raoe In the 1 928 Olympics in over so far as the winner in concerned unless some one bribes Jose Torres with a banana and induces him to quit. This Is the contention of mem bers of the contingent of Tara humura I ml fans of Mexico who passed through Dallas en route to Amsterdam. Torres, member of a ha If-wild hand of Tarahuinaras. lias an in sat la bio craving for bananas. In winning the 89-milc run from San Antonio to Austin lust year, he almost drove his trainer to distrac tion. The Indian runner whose tribe rates as having the world's su preme niarathoijerH simply cannot reject gifts of the tropical fruit. Ah a result playful speetalois tor mented him throughout the race. He ate most of the proffered fruit and vtill won the race. Hut , the competition will be keener at i Amsterdam, so members of - the ! squad of 1 2 have been cautioned not to let Jose pass a fruit stand ! after he gets to Amsterdam. ! Torres' compatriots may be j athletes fully as capable as he. but i there can be none so colorful. The ! other members of the .Mexican ! team have lived In civilization all I their lives and have had tho full benefits of athletic training while Jose learned to run long distances in order to eat and live. The appearance of Jo.se on the j track at Amsterdam will be an apt j demonstration of what athletics j have done to, civilize the world. ' Here Is a bobbed haired.:, -be-1 sandaled little brown man who a few years ago was almost as wild : as the buck deer that roam the t Tarahu mu ra mountains about his home. . , . .Members of the Tarahunmrn 'tribe depend enl holy upon the wings hi their feet to provide meat 'for themselves. When the supply of venison runs low the bucks of the tribo organize deer hunts. A half dozen of the sturdy runners pick up a deer trail and start after It 1n their methodical trot never stopping until aftot they have run the creature into exhaustion and have relied it with their knives. Such hunts hvo been known to last two days. It is tho training received under these conditions that' his fellow countrymen believe, will make Jose unbeatable at Amsterdam. Torres won the S9 mile race from San Antonio with a time of slightly .more than 14 hours but that was scarcely a fair test of his ability since he was held in check all the ; way In order thai Thomas Zafiro, lone of his companions, might fin I ish with him. Those who followed jthe Indians on 'that long, scorching , hot day estimated that Torres could have clipped at least two ; hours off his lime If allowed to set jthe pace. : The Tarahuinaras as a tribe run j'Tor pastime. When the moon ; .shines, their plains ami mountains ! are alive with runners. Their very inatne conies from an ancient word 'of th'dr race mea-iing font runners. His kind always have been accus tomed to dashing about. There Is no explanation except for the same reason that a bird flies or a fish swims.
