What about Johnson" was asked
Jeffries' brown eyes snapped as he
replied:
ger has made more noise and done less
than any man l know"
JeffTies told how he had brought
himself into fighting condition, but he
was a little reticent about his weight.

the small betters, second choices and IOng

were popular. The same condition eX-

got off the best of the day there were
some handsome long shot bets paid to cut
down the profits.

at six furlOngs and Judge Cabiniss was
cinch for place. Practically overlooked
in the heavy betting was Godfather, who,

WANT NO MORE ARTISANS
Federation of Labor Leaders Say
Enough WOrkmen Are Already
Here.

The recently published statement of
the Real Estate association that more
skilled labor was needed in Salt Lake,
because of extensive building now under
way and in contemplation, was the
cause of action last night on the part
of the Federation of Labor denying the
assertion. At a meeting at Labor hall
a committee was appointed to draft a
resolution, to be published IN the news
papers, to the effect that there are plen-
ty of mechanics in the city at the pres
ent time.
It was asserted by the labor leaders
that there has been a marked influx into
the city during the past two weeks of all
classes of workmen, and that state
ment calling more men to Salt Lake
would be deceptive and injurious to the
working classes.
Tonight at Labor hall the Brewery
Workers viii celebrate the twentieth
anniversary of their organization with
an evenings entertainment, which will
include q banquet and dancing.

Since the two schools met last year in
their memorable nothing to nothing bat
tie the rivalry between the two elevens
has been strong and old scores will be
settled today.
With a victory over All HaIlows the
Ogden eleven will do its best to keep even
with Salt Lake High school, in case of
a victory for the Red and Black today.
The Junction City eleven is both heavy
and fast and comes confident of victory.
Practice on the Granite campus has
gone on at a lively clip the past week.

top shape. LegrOan, the crack c0lOred
player of the eleven, las been shifted to
his old position at half and is counted on
for constant gains. Hamilton, Ashton and
Sutherland complete a back field second

Practically the whole football force of
the Granite district will be on hand to
attend to the roofing, while large string
