To Fly More Horses From East to West Coast HOLLYWOOD PARK, Inglewood, Calif., May 31.— Encouraged by the splendid manner in which the two-year-old fillies Chakoora and Uleta stood the air trip here from New York, where they were purchased, the King brothers of Los Angeles plan to repeat the experiment. Morris King says he is going back to New York some time next week to purchase more horses, and they, too, will be flown back to California. The success of the crosscountry flight of thoroughbreds has given rise to speculation that several eastern horses will be sent here by air for some of Hollywood Parks later stakes, perhaps the 00,000 Hollywood Gold Cup, the 0,000 Hollywood Derby, the 0,000 American Handicap and the 0,000 Sunset Handicap. Although nominations for the Cup and Derby, already closed, have not been announced, it is known that several eastern stabled horses have been mad-eligible for each of these stakes.
