SEATTLE NEGRO
LEADS BUNION
HORDE LAST LAP

BARSTOW, Cal, March R)-
Racing with firm, unfaltering stride
over the bleak desert country that
played havoc with others of the hoof-
ing horde, Ed Gardner, husky negro
youth of Seattle, paced the huge field
of runners today to win the fourth
lap of the 3400 mile coast to coast
marathon that started in Los Angeles
last Sunday.
The speedster of the timber country,
with legs pumping in perfect unison,
and a ribbon headband streaming
out behind him in the wind, con-
quered SO miles of the Mojave desert,
a barren windswept waste that taxed
human endurance. He checked in at
the control station here with the fine
time of hours and Is 1-2 minutes,
made against strong wind. With
the completion of this desert stretch,
Gardner had total elapsed time OF
10 hours, II minutes and Sc seconds
for the 1873 lilo miles from, Los
Angeles.
The negro marathoner matched
stride for stride with the first ten
for five and half miles, slipped into
the lead at that point, and coasted
home to victory. He never saw a
rival back again for the remainder of
the stretch.
Close behind the 1.-THE Seattle run
ner, only ten minutes separated the
two, strobe at an equally steady pace
one of the oldSters of the trans-conti-
mental derby, one Arthur Newton, a.
year old holder of The British 100 mile
running championship. He logged
through the cactus covered country
in five hours and 25 minutes, to
bring to 10 hours, 40 minutes and 30
seconds his total elapsed time for
the four laps run to date. The vete-
ran English marathoner ran heady
race, coming from eightieth place at
the start to show his heels to Oil
Wantinen, slight Finnish racer, in the
final stretch. Wantinen, who weighs
only 96 pounds, also came up from
the middle ranks to end his days
grind less than two minutes after
Newton. His time for the lap was 5
hours. 26 minutes and 40 seconds.
The flying mites total OF l9 hours,
is minutes and AZ seconds running
Arne since showing off from Los An
geles gave him first place in the list
of total elapsed time, on which the
prize winners in the cross-country
event will be computed. Gardner
possessed the second lowest total time,
NeStor Erickson, fleet Finn, ranked
third, and Newton placed fourth.
Erickson, who set the pace for the
rest of the pack during yesterday
lap from Bloomington to Victorville
required five hours and Sc minutes
20 cover today's 36 miles. His total
elapsed time is 10 hours, 20 minutes
and 80 seconds.

the asphalt ribbon winding through

Miss Helen Wills is getting an early

WATCH THE OLDER BOYS

While q lot of notice has been given
to the younger school of sprint stars
headed by Karl Wildermuth, the
youngstown star, and Jimmy Quinn,
the newest sensation from Holy Cross,
it appears that some of the older men
will do more than wear running pants
when the time comes to pick the 1928
American Olympic team.
Best known among these old-timers,
of course, is Charley Paddock, a vet
eran of IA seasons on the track and a
s1ar of two Olympic teams.
When Paddock announced recently
that he would be around when the
whistle blew for the Olympic candi-
dates, there was an inclination to offer
sympathy. Too bad, it was thought,
that those old fellows never know when
they are through.
1t wls also rumored about that Pad
dock had softened up by social activit-
les and that his bad leg had gone bad
on him again. In the society columns
of the Los Angeles press, Paddock'S
name appeared most frequently Us one
of the distinguished guests at func-
tions in the movie colony and the boys
say you have to keep your feet in the
cinders if you want to keep running.
When Paddock started sprinting he
pulled tendon in his leg that had
been pulled on several previous occas-
ions and it was thought that he might
have to give up his ambition to make
his third Olympic team.
Paddock, however, made his critics
back up in his first real appearance
of the season in the Pacific coast A.
A. U. relay championships. Wearing
the colors of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, he helped his team win the quar-
