A Foot Race Forced by the Taunt
of a Navaho Indian
IT HAD A CURIOUS CLIMAX.
The Redskin Athlete Was a Fleet Run

Spite of a Spr2intd Ankls Handicap,
Won the Contest In a 4 Crawl."
At the time General John J. Pershing
Leld the rank of captain in the army
Le o:i oae oeou.'ion iiroved biui-i-lf fcu

foot race.
The story is an interesting one.
Pershing was stationed near t he Na

Vv'biie waiting for the council to be

tbt Indians at th-ir names. TLy Na

racing their ponies and o'.e vaulting. J

greater ease.
.Tud 'es were chosen and a tc-s of a
coin gave the Indian the inside track, j
so that he had r. few feet the advantage j
ia clearing th' stakes. Hot!: men start- j
a iivHv fashion, but, as 1
.mi J.nf lVrh!n:r '.
afterward explained, he purposely k r
just far enough behind so that tr.
Xavah: could ba'vly see him out of the
tail of his ey. This invented the In
dian from setting too hard a race and
at the same time enabb-d ivrshiag to
use the- Indian ;u pacemaker.
As the two sp.d toward the first stake
not a foot's uifference was discernible
Petween them. They appeared to be
running ilniost ::!-reat. Once er twice
the Indian made a spurt, but Pershing
always kept tip with h'm and never
undertook to pass him.
They rounded the first stake with
the Indian still on the inside and then
started for the see-on d stake. When
half way I'ershing increased his speed
and the Indian, fearing that he meant
to try to pass h;ui at the stake, did
likewise. Just as Pershing expected,
the Navaho shot slightly beyond i;.-.
stake, and Pershing vas enabled to
come on the inside, thereby gaining au
advantage of several fe-et on the home
ward run.
Now, I'ershing had previously sprain
ed his ankb and his only concern in
the race was caused by a fear that his
ankle might give way. The' speed of
thj tw men as they ran for the Lome
stake was tremendous, but Pershing
maintained the lead until the expected
hap ened.
When within about ten feet of the
home line hi ankle turned and he was
seen to fall in a heap, and the siecta
tors breathlessly watching the contest
cried out ia e-onstemation. It all hai
pened in a moment, it seemed, but
somehow I'ershing doubled up like a
ball and turned a complete somersault
and landed across the line several feet
abend of the Indian.
Then there was a bedlam of shout
ing. The Indians unhesitatingly pro-
nouii' eu l ensuing tue victor, ana the
elation of the white men was ei:ly ex
ceeded by their solicitude for Per
shing's weakened ankle. The defeated
Indian was jeered and taunted unmer
cifully by the other Na vahos. J
They had one particular collection of
Indian unpronounceables which they
applied to him. Pershing and Baker
got Chee to interpret it. Chee explain
ed that the. Indian had always been
called the Navaho athlete, but nov
his, comrades had lengthened his name
and were calling him -the Navaho ath
lete who was beaten ia a foot race by
the white captain crawling." New
