LONGBOAT LEAVES
JERSEY QUARTERS
FOR NEW YORK
Indian Runner Winds Up His
Training at Clifton
Track.

Tom Longboat, the Indian runner. has
shifted his training quarters from the
Clifton race-track in New Jersey to the
Berkeley oval at Amsterdam avenu and
14Sth street, New York. He will stay
there and finish his work for the match
with Dorando Pietri at Madison
Square Garden on next Tuesday night,
December 10. Tom Eek, who took
charge of the dusky athlete upon his
arrival in this city, will continue at the
head of the training camp. Longboat
is living out Jerome avenue near 18th
street, and in addition to his track
work at the wal takes daily walks owe
the Westchester hills.
Neither the Indian nor his manage and
hacker, Tom Flanagan, are cast down over
his recent defeat In a ~ten-mile event by
Percy Smallwood in Philadelphia. To start
with, the Indian is not a ten-mile man and
the race was lost to him owing to the fact
that he ran in a new pair OF shoes. which
were too large for him. AS a result, his
feet were considerably bungled up and, not
wanting to spoil his chances against Do
rando, Eek would not let Longboat punish
himself. Flanagan is so confident that his
protege will lead the way for the famous
little Italian that he wants to bet a thou
sand dollars that Longboat will win the
race by at least an open lap.
