LONGBOAT FAVORITE
IN RACE TONIGHT

NEW YORK, December 1J-Tom
Longboat the Indian, and Dorando Pietri.
the Italian runner who defeated Johnny
Hayes recently, will race at Madison
Square Garden tonight. They will travel
26 miles $50 yards. the same distance as
the Olympic classic at London last sum
mer.
The Indian is the favorite though The
dope points TO Dorando. This is due
largely to the fact that Buffalo and Can
adian sports. vino never could see any
other runner with Longboat in sight, are
coming down with all kinds of money to
bet on him. AS good business men the
Italians hackers are allowing the Can
ucks to set the odds.
In the opinion of many experts Long
boat is much Overrated runner. He was
world beaten when he won the Boston
Marathon two Years ago. hut he has gone
back a lot since then. He is either d
faker or fair third-rater, and thai lets
him out. Only recently he was beaten in
a ten-mi!e race by Percy Smallwood.
Smallwood is an Englishman. and ha t
beaten a really good man since he came
to this country. Yet Longboat was easy
for him in poor time. If that race was on
the level Longboat hasn't much of show
to beat Dorando. Should he win tonight
the Indian will have to do lot of ex-
planning to bury the idea that he was
angling for bets when he let Smallwood
trim him. Either way You take it,
Thomas is In bad.
Both Dora ndo and Longboat have been
going well in training. The Italian has
been averaging around six minutes for
stretches of fifteen miles. and Longboa t
turns In about the same figures. He took
pipe opener across country with the
Mohawks yesterday covering the regular
course in a fraction of a second over
thirty-siX minutes. The going was bad
and the pack simply logged along.
