"Jim" Writes About the Long- boat-Dorando Race--Tells How the Indian Played With the Dago. James T. Sitherland, of Kingston, witndssed te Longboat-Dorando race in New York, on Tuesday night. Writ- ing about the contest he says : "It certainly made one feel that it was a grand thing to be a Canadian, and to be able to join heartily in the applause which was showered upon the famous Indian. About 15,000 peo- ple jammed the big Madison Square Garden and fully two-thirds were Ita- lian in sentiment, as well ae birth. | The ltalian band played all the popu- lar national airs of Italy apd Italians were crazed with joy over their hero, Dorando. That was before 'Long Tom'! took his measure. ("When the men had got under way, or a mile or two, I was quite cer- tain .how it 'would end, 'and enjoyed | the affair considerably more, because' of my faith is Longboat. He played with the little Ttalian like a dat plays with a mouse. First, he allowed Dor- ando to cut ad and show off his little red tight® to the delight of all Italy. Then when he thought the Dago wasinot going fast enough to tire himself out, "Fom' walked into the lead and hit the pace up a bit. Then he would wide-step and force Do- rando to take the pace again, The [talian's love of applause led him to fall into the wily 'Tom's" trap right along. Welleiit just lookéa to- me that Longboat 'could have beaten him 'any old time he-got ready, and get ready he did in the twentysfiith mile. It was then that the Tndian:moved up into the lead, and hit such a pace that af- ter going, four laps of the twenty- sixth mila, and while yet 1,200 yards from the finish, the Italian toppled over, dead to the world, right if iront of where 1 stood. . "The Indian never gave him: a thought, but hit it up for the balance of the distance at a speedier clip than aver. In fact the last two laps he sprinted in a 2.20 manner, and actual- ly took the breath from the specta- tors, who thought that if Dogando succumbed, the Indian also must - be nearly all id; but he showed. them that he was.as fresh' and speedy as a 100-yard sprinter. i "I tell you the Union Jack souvenir flags began to sell fast then, because everybody likes to be with the win- ner. The Italian colony was heart- broken. Their idol lay shattered in the dust. Canada deserves to do well by such noble sons as Longboat, Sherring, Kerr, ete., who place her name on the highest pinnacle of fame. It certainly thrilied me through and through to see the Indian boy with his maple leai, worked on his racing shirt, with head high and shoulders erect, swinging around that arena and proclaimed by all the best judges to be the greatest long-distance run- ner in the workl. "The three-Tom combination could not be bheateny viz; (Fom' Eyck;: the trainer: 'Tom' Flanigan, the manager; Tom' Longboat, the wonder. "They say in New York, that it took a Longboat to 'toe' the Italian 4nto the 'dead' sea. "One New York paper, the Glove says: 'Canada has no flag, but it has a great runner." Some sporting writ- ors on New York papers must draw calaries for their ignorance of other countries." GRAFT IN RUSSIA. Removing Difficulties Officer's Transfer. A young Russian officer wished to bo. transferred to another regiment and took his reyuest in person to one of the lights of the Russian general stafi. That powerful offiger, shook his head and deglared the matter very difficult to arrange--almost impos- sible. Then his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes of the lieutenant. To the amazement of his visitor, the senior officer said ~ that lieutenants shoes 'were not nearly good enough for an officer; and that he would strongly advise him to buy new shoes of a shoemaker whose address he gave. Then, telling hjs--visitor~ to return in eight days/ he (dismissed him. The latter was clever enough to realize that he could not returnwith- out the mew shoes, so he hurriea to the shoemaker. On hearing who had sent him the shoemaker said that the lieutenant could have the shoes in five days for the 'sum of $250. Much South Cor: Ontario 'and Olarence gu asvonished, the officer went to a com- réde- for advice. He was told to pay half of this sum at once and the rest when his shoes were finished. This the officer did, and wearing his new -boots, he duly kept his appointment with the general staff officer and learned to his joy that all the "grave difficulties' in the way of his transfer had been successfully removed.

"I am after Shrubb now," eays Longboat. Shrubb, =the great English profes sional runner, may race Longboat over the Marathon distaneo at Now York on the mg of January 9th.

He was not the tottering Indian that quit -the Olympie Mara- thon in London, but the embodiment of the true athlete, and he lived up to the best traditions of the 'Indian race. He returned ' to his dressing- room comparatively fresh." "Tom" . Longboat came in the lime light through winning {the celebrated Boston Marathon. in 1907. After that hi ran several races, including ' the Montreal Star's King's Birthday race in 1907, in which he covered fifteen Suiles in 1 hour 26.55. Just before go- ing to the Olympic Marathon, he ran over the same course in 1.24.08. = Last Octobe he won the same race in 1.25.44. Then he started to prepare for the scries of races thai are to be run in Madison Square Garden. Now York Telegraph: "The walloph [ing the Indian gave that poor Capri baker boy was a shame, an outrage, and a disgrace. He ran circles around poor Dorando at any tima after. the fifteenth mile. He passed Dorando whenever he pleased, simply by slap- ping "his feet a few inches farther on cach stride. Dorando never 'caught him, but when he had tired of stealing Dorando's goal, Longboat would step to one side in an 'after you, Al (phonse,' fashion, and let the Italian take the lead again." Dorando is wanted back in England to run against Shrubb and the four men in the professional Marathon of October 10th, which was promoted by the London Evening News, and rin over the course in the Olympic Marathon. A purse of £350 was offcr- ed, but Dorando is doing so well in the way 'of gate money on this side that he declined. The first Tour and their times inthe Evening' News race were : H, Sirret, France, White, Ircland, 2.40.15 2 | wood, England, 2.41.10 4-5; lington, England, 2.52.17 1-5. All these times arc better than those Dorando and Hayes in the Olympic. $ of ---------- For Appeal To The Hague.
