 They were Giusto Umek Of Italy and osmond Metcalfe, Canadian.
 lmek. doctors said. had trouble with one Of his feet and may not start the grind again today, while Metcalfe suffered nervous shock rom the strain of the race.
 Attendants picked up the Cana dian. He consumed four sandwiches. three cups of coffee and a double or der of ham and eggs, whereupon he said he felt better but had lost his appetite for long distance hiking.
 Charlie Hart. 63-year-old runner of Shirley. England. was brought in here Wednesday night almost ex- hausted. Doubt was expressed if he would be able to start today's jaunt.
 Quomawahahu. the Hopi Indian, finished way behind Wednesday, but said he would continue in an effort to make up lost mileage.
 Among the early finishers in We'd nesday's lap were:
 Peter Gavuzzi. England: Andrew Payne, Claremore. Okla: John Cro- nick, Saskatoon. Sask. Can; Arne souminen. Detroit: Carl Willberg, New York city: Philip Granville, Hamilton. Ont; F.
