BUFFALO, N. Y, July 4 GIN.
S0.-Chuck Fenske's thrilling per-
formance in the 1,500-meter run
against Glenn Cunningham today
convinced National Amateur Ath-
letic Union officials that the
United States will be a strong con-
tender in the distance runs dur
ing a series of European races.
The competition in the matches
to be staged during the summer
in Sweden, London and Germany
will be provided in the mile run
by Fenske, Wisconsin star who
lost the 1,500-meter run here to
Cunningham by a mere foot.
While pressing Cunningham,
Fenske led Archie San Romani
who finished third and Louis Zam-
perini, the Southern California
entrant, who came in fourth.
