TRiEs-FlNAL ENTRY LIST AN
NoUNcEp.

Three Michigan men. two Of whom
are from Detroit. have entered the ~
hour go-as-you-please race which will
be held In the Light Guard armory the
week Of Dec. Z. Though inexpert-
enced at the sport. all are hard at
work and II should be an interesting
feature Of the contest to see which
one succeeds In securing the bonus OF
SIS which Promoter Philion has prom
ised to the leading Michigan contest
ant
There II at least one member of
the trio who. II reports Of his workouts
are true, should be able to cut some
figure In the event. This II Bob Col
lister. Of lansing, who informs the
manager OF the event when forward
ing his entry, that he has been salts
flying himself well In his practice
work and had just finished "a miles In
three hours before writing the letter.
AS this II CLIP which isn't far from
the limit the law allows, Mr.. Philion
informed him that he was on the right
track and only needed to keep that
up for a few hours more to set q
worlds record In the local race.
The entry list IL now complete and
comprises beyond question the best
field which has started In a race OF
this character In recent years. The
men who will make up the competi-
ton are as follows:
Patrick J. Dineen, Of Boston, ZAP
hour champion Of the world.
George Klubertanz. Of Rochester.
N " 72-hour champfon
Gilbert Barnes. Pittsburg. the old
G. A r. champion.
William Feeney. Brooklyn. middle

William Davis, Mohawk Indian
Reservation, Hamilton, Ont.
II. W. Shelton. Cuban champion.
Bob Collister, Lansing. Mich.
AL Mcdonald. Detroit.
George Breckels. Detroit.
An interesting feature Is the pres
ence OF Davis, the Indian. He Is cred>
tied with being the tutor eof Longboat
and Is a runner OF tremendous endur-
anoe himself. Though he has COM
peted professionally for years, this
will be his first race against the
cracks OF the six-day contingent. how
ever. and his showing will be await
ed with great interest.
Most Of the competitors are men
we'll past middle age, several of them,
including Day. Cartwright, Barnes and
one OF two oilers being over so years
old.
The race is generally understood to
lie between Dineen, Klubertanz and
Feeney. though any of half-dozen
others Is likely to come to the front
in the closing stages of the grueling
contest, with enough steam to nip the
wearied leaders.

CANAL READY IN SIX YEARS.
Secretary Taft Says Ditch Will Cost
 $500. 900.

Washington. Jan. 1I. - President Roosevelt has approved the recom- mendation of the isthmian canal com mission. indorsed by Secretary Taft. increasing the width of the locks of the canal from 100 to 110 feet ito meet requirements of the navy that can reasonably be expected in the near future
 The general board of the navy ex- pressed the opinion that the width of the locks as now fixed-namely. loo feet-is insufficient for probable ships of future construction. and that sound policy would dictate an increase to a clear width of no feet"
 Secretary Taft appeared before the senate committee on interoceanic ca- nals. He expressed the opinion that the canal should be completed within six years from next July and that it's ultimate cost would he approximately S3OO.OO0.Oc0. including the purchase price.
 The proposed widening Of the locks was carefully explained by Secretary Taft. He asserted that with the locks widened 10 110 feet a steamer of 10S feet beam could easily pass through. The largest ship this government Is planning to build will have a beam Of but ninety-five feet.
