HOLDS ALL SWIMMING RECORDS
G. M. Daniels Champion at Game for
All Distances

NEW YORK, January Sit is
doubtful If there ever has been a
swimmer the equal of G. M Daniels.
During 1907 he established new
worlds records up to $50 yards and
new American records up to a mile.
If his covering of 100 yards In
0:55 2-5 in the championship of
England has been universally recog-
nized as the most wonderful per-
formance of all time. there are many
who look with as much awe on his
mile figures of 22:40 3-5.
That an avowed sprinter should
20 out of his class to compete in dis
tance events and succeed in almost
equaling the worlds best records
7avors of the marvellous. The fastest
mile ever negotiated by amateur or
professional stands to the credit of
B. Keran of New South Wales. and
was covered in 21:16, or rs seconds
better than Daniels mark. made
with little training in race which
he won by several lengths of the
pool.

MINING COUP ON RACE TRACK
Tale of Famous Ringing Job or
Lena Leata

The winning of Lady Leota at
New Orleans recalls one of the fam
Gus ringing jobs that was put
through when the winter tracks
operated around Chicago and racing
fiourished at East st. Louis. There
was maiden running at the last
named point of the name of Lena
Leota. She might have been named
after little girl, and the Lady
Leota that won the other day may
be named after the same girl who
has "growed" up since then. Lena
Leota apparently was an awful
racing proposition and could not win
at East st. Louis. So she was
shipped to Hawthorne with some
other animals. She was started in
the last race run there, and though
the odds were 100 to 1 at the track
not dime was wagered. Lena can
tered home by couple OF lengths.
Then came the aftermath. The pool
rooms all over the country had been
trimmed in fine style. prominent
st. Louis merchant visited the Cow
ington poolrooms with a wad big
enough to choke a bear He got Is
to l for some of his money, but was
forced to take about 6 to | for the
bu'k of it. After Lena Leota won
there was quite delay, and the st.
Louis man got very nervous before
the official result came along. But
his fears were groundless, as the de-
lay was due to bad wires. The
howls began to go up that night,
but 1T was too late, for the tickets
had been cashed and the bettors had
disappeared.
An investigation followed. but for
a day or SO nothing was turned up.
Then some busybody discovered that
Mistletoe, a crack sprinter of East
St. Louis, was missing from her stall
Then they went little further and
discovered that Mistletoe was still at
the track. The st. Louis boys did
not do much. They only ran Mis-
tletoe as Lena Leota and got the
change.
The exposure sort of queered their
game, for they had one planned at
st. Asaph or Alexander's island. The
officials got on, and would not al
low the horse to start. The Judge
was offered $1,000 to let the animal
run, with a guarantee that not a
dime would be bet at the track, but
this offer was declined, and the nag
nev1 ~ot chance to win heat.

MAKING GOOD
IMPORTANT ENGINEERING WORK
FALLS TO J. W. SHEPHERD OF
'04-BASKET BALL MATCHES
ARRANGED

MOSCOW, Jan. 31.-J. w. Shep-
perd, a graduate of the University Of
Idaho in 1904, returned for a brief
visit at his alma mater recently. Mr.
Shepperd Is doing a very interesting
piece of engineering work on the Ca
madam Pacific railway in the noun
tain division, where he Is reducing a
heavy grade that has proved very ex-
pensive in operation to an easier
grade. This is accomplished by
running two circular tunnels back
int othe mountain along the side Of
which the track lies, and the track
climbs this spiral while under cover,
emerging at a level above the point
where it entered. One and one-half
million dollars are required for the
completion of this piece of work.
This is probably as important a po-
sition as any of the state alumni
hold up to the present time.
Mr.. Shepperd went through all OF
the new buildings that have been
added to the engineering department
since his day in the university, and
expressed himself as feeling some
what a stranger in the enlarged
and improved institution that he
finds today Mr.. Shepperd's former
home was Joel.
