BRANTFORD, Ontario, Jan. IL
Tom Longboat, the lank Onondags
Indian, was buried yesterday not fal

gan his career as a fabulous dis.
tance runner. He was laid to rest
to the tribal chant of Iroquois fu-
neral rites.
The end came Sunday after a
long illness to the 62-year-old
marathon star whose powerfully
muscled legs brought him fame and
fortune.
He was called the greatest dis
tance runner Of them all'' in the
heyday of his career 40 years ago.
He left behind many rich legends.
He won the Boston Marathon In
1907, ran in the Olympics in 1908.
He earned more than $4,000 as
a professional and drew turnaway
crowds to such arenas as New
York's Madison Square Garden.
Police had to be called to curb
the crowd in December, 1908, when
Longboat raced Dorando Pietri of
Italy in a 26-mile, 385-yard test at
the Garden.
A crowd of $4,000 saw the two run
neck and neck for Is miles before
the Italian fell on the track In a
heap. Longboat loped home in 2
hours As minutes and 5 seconds,

Pin Queen Shows Star Tourney
Isn't Gravy for |Duffers' Alone
By Rod Thomos

The Evening Star bowling
tournament has been dubbed q
buffers dream come true, but
also its a happy hunting ground
for the sharpshooter.
Lorraine GULL, many times
queen of the Nations duckpin
shooters. is an example.
Miss GULL is a member of three
leagues, which gives her an even
dozen cracks at the big prize list,
and she's taking 'em all, at a
dollar throw. "a league bowler
may enter every time he rolls in
a league match during the
month-long EVENT..
theoretically at least all par
ticipants in The Star uourna-
ment are on an equal footing
due to the full handicap system,
but there is far more likelihood
of q bowler with a low or
medium average performing "far
above his head" than the star,
and, tacking on a fat handicap,
land high in the payoff.
Odds Against Experts.
The odds against Miss GULL,
whose handicap is nine pins.
are far greater than any rival
with a sizeable handicap. That
is, the odds against winning the
top prize. But there are a slew
Of prizes, including a batch Of
scratch awards. And Miss GULL
started out on the theory that
somewhere along the way she
was bound to flash a score that
would pay of, If she took II
chances.
Thus far she has competed
three times. In the Connecticut
Avenue Business Mems League
she fired a set of 1888 and added
nine sticks for a gross of 397.
In the Capitol Ladies' League
she rolled 381-9-390, which in
cluded a game of 15S. Next she
came a cropper. In the WASH
ington Ladies League at Hi
Skor she tailed only 1876. But
this didn't even annoy her, so far
as the tournament was con-
cerned. Here's why:
Her 38S scratch set, 397 gross
set and 158 game all are virtually
certain to figure in the payoff.
In last years tournament they
woulud have crossed s20.50 in
minor prizes. They probably will

Caps-BuIIefs Clash
In Baltimore Due
For Full House

A capacity crowd is expected at
the Baltimore Coliseum tonight to
watch the Washington Caps and
the Baltimore Bullets clash for the
third time this season. The Caps,
sitting atop the Eastern Division
Of the Basket Ball Association Of
America, were humiliated by the
Bullets with 20-point pasting the
last time the clubs met in WASH
ington. The Caps won the other
two.
The Caps are in an enviable posi-
ton. Only q complete reversal of
form could keep them from taking
the Eastern Division title. The New
York Knickerbockers lag by seven
games in second place and the
Bullets are third, eight and one-half
games behind. The Caps and Bull
lets each have 29 games remaining
and the Knicks have 81.
One thing is against the Caps.
They have been clipping along at
such a pace-they have an .S39
mark-that letdown would not be
too surprising. And that is what
the Knicks and Bullets are hoping
for. Baltimore Is hoping to start
the landslide tonight and the
Knieks will be here Saturday night
with similar intentions.
Drool Over Melon. :
The Caps already are smacking
their lips over the playoff melon.
A sum Of 5000 will be paid to the
teams finishing first in each divi-
sion. The first four clubs in each
division will divide $4,000, according
to where each finishes in the
Shaughnessy plan playoffs.
Pushed out OF the big money the
last two years when they faltered
in the late stages, the Caps won't
take any chances this time Coach
Red Auerbach admits he will settle
for fewer regular-season victories in
order to win all the way. So the
Caps can be expected to- slacken
the pace in order to conserve
strength for the payoff series.

If the Caps go into a slump the

to take advantage of it.
