INDIAN WINS MARATHON RACE
Italian Collapses Within Sight of the
Goal as He Did in Marathon
Race in London.

New York, Dec. 16. - AS on that
memorable occasion of his first Olym-
piad, Dorando Pietri collapsed within
sight of the goal last night and Tom
Longboat, the Indian runner, who
had been led by yard or more near
ly all the way, won the Marathon race
at Madison Square Garden.
The race was hard fought from
start to finish and kept the thousands
of spectators in wild excitement. At
twenty-five miles Dorando was lead
ing by two yards. A moment before,
LOngboat had made remarkable
squirt and put himself ON an even foot
ing with the little Italian. Dorando
Immediately regained first position
and the men were fighting it out in
the twenty-sixth mile with Dorando
in the lead, but visibly weaker. The
chances of Longboat appeared to i'm
prove in the second and third laps.
In the fourth lap, while the crowd was
crying itself hoarse, both men slack
ened perceptibly. Then suddenly Do
rando staggered and dropped. Long
boat finished alone. His time for the
distance of twenty-six miles and 1856
yards was 2:45:05 2-5.
The time was 35 2-5 seconds slower
than the Marathon mark established
by Dorando when he defeated Hayes
over the same track three weeks ago.
1t was a gruelling race for twenty-five
and one-half miles, with the, Ital-
ian generally in the lead, but occa-
sionally overhauled by a wonderful
squirt on the part of the Indian.

Osich, cutting him on the head, neck
and about the face. Osich is at the
Moore hospital in a critical condition.
