HOPI INDIAN IS
FORCED TO QUIT
BUNION DERBY

WILLIAMS, Ariz., March 16 P--
The same tireless, Indicating pace
that has marked his running from
the start today brought Arthur
Newton, great racing product OF South
Africas veldts, romping home for
an easy victory in the 18th lap Of
the coast to coast marathon. The
lean Britisher from Rhodesia checked
into the control station here hours,
10 minutes and 35 seconds after leav-
ing Seligman, AZ miles away, this
morning. His days run materially
increased his lead in elapsed time,
which became IA hours, Il minutes
5 seconds for the 479.6 miles covered
from Los Angeles.
The terrific grind was beginning to
tell on the Al year old Newton, his
left knee being favored as much as
possible today because of the trouble
it gave. He said tonight that ii it,
and a tendon strained in the lap
did not respond to treatment over
night he might withdraw from the
race.
The marathon lost one of its favor
ties today when Nicholas Quomawahu
Hopi Indian of Oraibi, Ariz., was
forced out permanently by' sprained
ankle and injured leg. He was unable
tc finish yesterdays stretch into
Seligman, and was taken back 13
miles this morning to make his start
Eight miles east of Seligman he
ended his marathon.
Peter GavuZzi, singing runner from
Southampton, England, who was over
three miles out when Newton checked
in, took second place for the lap with
time OF 7:47:35, giving him an
elapsed time of 87:17:51. He finished
fresher than his older competitor for
the $4,000 first prize that awaits
the winner at the end OF the 3,4OO
mile grind in New York.
Louis Perella, Albany, N. Y; John
Cronick, Saskatoon, Canada, and
Andrew Payne, Claremore, Okla, run
ners, tied for third place when they
arrived abreast in 8 hours and 80
seconds for the lap. Their elapsed
times were: Perella, 101 :04:00; Cron-
lex, 86:17:4O; Payne, 82:46:42.
A few minutes later came Vofght
Houfstater, of Manistee, Mich, and
John Salo, Passaic, N. j., finishing
sixth and seventh. Frank Chavez,
of Pasadena, Cal, the only Indian
now in the race, finished eighth. He
i is a descendent of the Mission Indians
of California. Their times: Houf-
slater, 8:O6:25, elapsed 92;42.;:S5; Salo
8:11:25, elapsed 95:06:55; Chavez
8:27:3O, elapsed 109:08:20.
The cedar and pine covered $500
foot high country OF Arizona was

where the runners felt the chill OF
patches of the winters last snow, and
of trickling streams fringed with ice
