nesday. Since the work began the old
pavement and cobblestones have been
removed new guttering and curbing
put down. the street prepared for the
laying of new street car rails, and now
the big steam roller is smoothing down
the new coat of asphalt on the lower
end of the street. All this has been
done in a little more than three weeks,
and the entire job viii be completed
within six weeks, if the work is not re-
tarded by III weather or some unfOre-
seen cause. The guttering and curbing,
which is quite a particular piece OF
work alone, was all done in eight days.
The asphaltum being used in the re-
surfacing Of Main street is shipped
hither from Los Angeles.
Large Force Employed.
-Four hundred men are being employed
by Mr.. Moran on his Main street joO,
i'm addition to 400 more laborers who are
at work i'm other parts of the city at
the present time. This small army of
men has been divided into day and
night crews, and the only time that ac-
tual work is not in progress in repair
ing the street is at meal hours. In or
der to make a record of this one par
ticul9r contract. MI. Moran added TWEEN
~ more teams to the eighty he already
owned. Besides the 100 teams that he
owns and has working in Salt Lake. the
contractor hires seventy teams from
local people.
out of the 500 men Mr.. Moran en-
ploys fifty are japanese labOrers. While
some Greeks are used. the majority of
the men are local white labOreTs.
No Delay In Traffic.
When Mr.. Moran took the contract for
resurfaciEg Main street the officials of
the street car company were a little
worried lest traffic be tied ID at times
while the work was in progress. The
contractor informed them that there
was no occasion for worry about the
matter and that he would see that the
cars got through on time. Not once
since the work began has a car been de-
layed for any noticeable length Of time,
and not once has the work prevented
the cars from making their schedules.
In addition to the new pavement the
street car company has laid ninety
pound nine-inch rails along this section
of Main street Like the paving, much
of this work was done at night.

TO WIN
NEW YORK EXPERTS ARE BACK
ING ALFRED SHRUeB TO
BEAT LoNGBOAT.

New York, Jan. 19.-Can Tom Long
boat defeat Alfred Shrubb at the
Marathon distance? Sporting men are
anxiously waiting to have this ques-
distance runners meet in Madison
Square Garden January &c. They
have been matched to go &c miles and
1856 yards and speculation is rife as to
the result. Shrubb's wonderful run
ming in the 12-mile relay race, in the
garden Saturday night, convinced the
experts that when Longboat tackles
him records will be smashed.
Shrubb, for 10 miles at least. is
undoubtedly the fastest man in the
world. He possesses remarkable en-
durance and phenomenal sprinting
ability.
Longboat's two victories over Do
rando hayS caused him to be re-
garded as high-class long distance
man, but the experts say that both
Durando and Hayes have been over
rated and that neither of them would
stand a ghost of a chance in a Mara

and Is mile races, he has travelled
longer distances and is credited with
some fast time for rs miles out Of

Shrubb was so fresh after running
IL miles last Saturday night that he
looked as If he could have gone the
Marathon distance without extending
himself. He ran the last lap like a
100-yard Splinter, and his great speed
caused old-timers to open their
eyes. Some of them, who held
watches and clicked Shrubb while he
was running at top speed, said he
ran 100 yards, including one turn of
the track, in better than IL seconds,
and that he did this after he had
gone eight miles

BACK TO THE MINORS
FOR JOE INGENUITY

The management of the New York
National league team has called fol
waivers on Pitcher Joe McGinnity, a
player who for years was considered
one of the best in the business. While
McGraw gives it out that the iron
man is going back and not able to
hold his own in major league company,
McGinnity's record of last season
stands out in flat contradiction. "Joe'
won II games out of IS pitched in 1908,
and looked decidedly good at the close
of the year. The chances are that Nc
Ginnity's actions during the world S
series last fall, when he attempted to
Wrest the honors from the Cubs by
starting riot, have more to do with
letting the burly pitcher go back to the
minors.

SPORTING NOTES

Joe Cans, the ex-lightweight cham
pion, is born gambler. He has lost
probably 100000 on games Of chance,
and that's going some. He loves to
shoot craps for light stakes, and also
puts down good stiff bets on the
horses. Cans is also very fond of game
chickens and has quite a few choice
ones at his Baltimore home.
The high position obtained by Cleve-
land and Chicago during the last
American league season was helped
considerably by the admirable control
Of the Fingers Of the two teams, the
pitching outfits of these two teams is
suing fewer passes than those of any
of their rivals. While Addie joss and
Cy Young carried off the individual
honors in control, the Chicago staff of
work along that line with the Nap
hurlers second.
Owner Frank Farrell of the New
York Americans has cornered the third
base market Having signed Joe Ward
of the Altoona team, the owner Of the
Highlanders now has three Of the best
third basemen in the country in Ward,
Conroy and Moriarity.
Jake" Stahl, once manager Of the
Washington American league team,
once a member Of the New York High
landers and last year a member Of the
Boston Red Sox, may go to the st.
Louis Browns. 1t is said that Presi-
dent John I. Taylor has asked waivers
and that the only team wishing to re-
tain Stahl is that managed by James
l.. McAleer, who wants a successor for
Tom Jones at first base.
Agitation has been started by Yale
men and alumni, through the Alumni
Weekly to cut down the varsity race
course to three miles. The death Of
Dwight T. Griswold, who collapsed in
the race with Harvard, has crystal
lized opposition to the longer distance.
No meeting of eithef the athletic
committee or rowing authorities has
been considered as yet. and in any
event Yale and Harvard will have to
take up the question together.
Plans unofficially on foot in Uni
versity Of MINNESOTA athletic circles
will give that institution one of the
finest equipped athletic fields in the
United States. These plans deal espe-
cially with the seating accommodations
on the field, and contemplate the re-
placement Of all the stands now used.
Thousands Of dollars have been put
into the erection Of the three large
permanent stands, two for football and
one for baseball, and the movable stand
used during the fall but it is believed
that within a few years these will have
seen their best service, and will have
to go.
