LoNGBOAT's VICTORIES
Tom I.ongboat, the Indian runner,
who is now in Toronto. became Il sport
hero when in 1909 he beat Dorando,
his Italian opponent, in the sensational
race in New York for the worlds pro-
fessiOnal Marathon championship. On
the heels of this victory LOngboat beat
Alfred Shrubb. the English runner, but
encountered his Waterloo at the hands
of st. Yves, the fleet footed French
man. LOngboat has dropped more or
less out of sight. although since his
downfall he has been heard from in
races Of minor importance.
Louis S~OckaleXiS, the young Indian
from Maine who finished fourth in the

promising runner. He is Il cousin Of
the once famous ball player of the

cal he will be the player most likely
to have a chance to beat Willie Hoppe
