CAN COLLEGE SPRIMTER 40
100 YARDS nv LESS THAN 1852

Pooch Donovan, trainer OF the Har-
ward track team. is authority for the
statement that there is not an athlete
at Yale, Harvard. Princeton. Pennsyl-
vania, Cornell. Dartmouth or any or
these other eastern colleges who can
sprint 100 yards in less than 10 sec
onds fiat.
Donovan Is one OF the Few sprinters
who has been officially caught" at
8 As seconds. He says the men who
can do the distance In less than 10
seconds are few and far between. His
statement about the athletes now en-
rolled In the big eastern colleges was
made prior to the big intercollegiate
meet at Philadelphia week ago Sat
urday
Results will prove what I say to
be true" said Pooch, and, sure enough,
none OF the lithe-limbed sprinters,
could do the 100 In less than 10 sec
onds. A mark of 10 l-5 took down
the victory. True an Amherst college
Splinter was credited with a mark OF
8 3.5 few weeks back, but the time
will not stand, as the A. A. u. timers
did not clock" the Splinter.

reached the bag Wigs cut loose.

over center field fence. He put every
thing he had on that ball and 1t struck
OLeary on the chest and he went
down. From the stands IT looked like

GRADE CROSSING QUESTION.
Railway Commissioners Visit Owosso
to Make lnspection.-Owosso
Citizens Opposed to Grade
Separation.

George w. Dickinson of Pontiac,
and James Scully of Ionia, members of
the State Railway Commission, were in
the city Friday to inspect the Washing
ton street crossing Of the Grand Trunk
railroad in order TO determine whether
the petition Of the Lansing & North
eastern electric railroad for a crossing
at grade could be granted with safety
to the public and without any great
detriment TO the Grand Trunk. The
petitioners were represented by Hon.
T. w. Atwood, the Grand Trunk by
superintendent Egan. while a large
delegation Of Owosso citizens were out
to speak for the interests of the city.
After viewing the crossing and the
territory south of the tracks, Commis-
sioner Dickinson suggested that in
order to avoid the raising Of the Grand
Trunk tracks on Washington and the
construction of subway that subway
might be constructed at the low point
between the plants of the O. & c. f.
Co. and the Vigor o Co, this plan con-
templating the crossing of Washington
street near Cute hill onto the land
recently purchased by J. NJ Terbush,
north of where the subway might be
located. This plan was strenuously
opposed by Messrs. Atwood and Ter
bush and seemingly favored by the
Grand Trunk officials. After viewing
the premises an adjournment was taken
for dinner and at one o'clock meeting
of the Commission was held in the par
lors of tie Owosso Sayings Bank with a
room full of citizens present II. w.
Atwood stated the case for the electric
road, insisting that good railroad con-
struction called for crossing on Wash
ington street, that to make detour to
the east and come under the Grand
Trunk tracks was not a feasible PROPOSE
tion. Supt. Egan strongly opposed the
granting of the petition for grade
crossing and urged the ordering of the
subway plan either on Washington
street or at a place suggested east near
Division street The engineers of both
railroad companies made sworn state
ments TO the Commissioners and
answered a number of questions re-

that the construction of the subway
would haye to begin four hundred feet
south Of the track and would run three
hundred feet north of the track before
the track Of the electric line would
reach the present grade Of Washington
street, while to go east on she Corunna
road a cut of SIX feet would have to be
made at the intersection of Washington
street and that the cut would extend
east three hundred eighty.four feet be-

fore the present street line would be
reached On behalf of the city, Mayor
Burke, City Attorney Pulver, w. +.
Gallagher and E O. Dewey objected to
this plan and urged the granting of the
petition for crossing at the present
grade, believing that the safety Of those
using the line of the electric road would
be in no wise jeopardiZed, that no in.
terest Of the Grand Trunk would be
harmed and that all damage to adioin-
ing property would be o6via'ed by a
crossing at grade, while subway
would involve heavy damage to the
property owners-and this was admit
ted to be fact by the engineer OF the
Grand Trunk-and would greatly mar
the appearance Of the street.
After hearing the several statements,
etc, the Commissioners requested that
both roads make further surveys to de-
termine whether the construction Of
subways at either point mentioned was
really feasible and file the same with
the Commission to be considered at a
hearing to be held in Lansing on Tues
day next.
1t was evident to these present at the
hearing that both Messrs. Dickinson
and ScullY were here to get all the facts
surrounding the situation and that their
final decision will ne made without any
bias, the interests Of the road directly
concerned, the safety OF the public and
wishes of the citizens being the deter
mining factors The TINES believes
the order when made will be entirely
satisfactory to the people of Owosso.
At the meeting of the Owosso I'm
provement Association, Tuesday, the
following committee was named to go
to Lansing with Mayor Burke and City
Attorney Pulver to represent the city:
L. Q. Dewey, j. c. Shattuck, H. b.

a committee was also appointed to
express to Commissioner Dickinson the
regret of the city that his position up
On the matter had been so grossly mis-
represented by the publication of
articles in the Detroit Free Press and in
local papers intimating that his decis-
ion would be decided by the wishes of
the Grand Trunk and that he refused
to give a respectful hearing to the
officials or people of this city.
