CURIOSlTlES OF RAILROADS
There IRE Many Things in Connec-
ton with Them That Are
Peculiar.

The driving wheel Of an engine
revolutions a minute, and often has
behind il a train weighing 200 tons.
Yet the axle of the wheel upon which
this gigantic strain Is placed cannot
be made straight and true, like the
axle of a carriage wheel. IL must be,
in the nature OF things. a crank axle:
and it may be imagined by any cyclist
how greatly the massive cranks add
to the strain.
The difficulty of keeping an express
up TO time is enormous. Given a per.
feet engine and a good driver, he must
also be provided with the best of coal
and a fireman who knows how to use
il. On a run of say 500 miles he
will use at least 5000 gallons of wa
ter. If he carelessly uses more he
will exhaust his supply. Wind has TO
be allowed for, and wet lines always
mean delay.
There are 200 or 300 signal men
10 be passed: each of them has his
share in the pu~nctuality of the train.
Dnr careless pldl"IdNel dlllOlS nearly
100 who look after the line between
England's and Scotland's capital may
delay the train by his failure to screw
mp Il fish bolt. The whole train may
De brought to a standstill by a greaser
having allowed a pinch Of dirt to get
into one of the many grease boxes.
As may be imagined, only the most
rigid discipline can run a 5O-mile-an-
hour train to time
The taunt is often hurled at Brit
ish railways hat they are expensive.
French and German fares are held up
as contrasts to be copied. The pub.
lie forgcts that in Britain a reason
able amount of luggage IS carried
free; abroad, none. 1t fails to re-
member that most foreign railways be-
long TO the government, while British
ones arc forced to pay from two to five
per cent. of all their earnings into the
national cXchcQucr.

DICK DUNNIGAN CAPTURES
GIG RACE CUP
Three Heats Contested over Playa
del Rey Course for Members
Of Los Angeles Ath-
letic Club

Sweeping easily toward the finishin,
line Dick Dunnigan crossed ahead o
Leroy Swayne in the third heat of tn,
gig race contested over the Playa de
Rey course by members of.the Los An
geles Athletic club yesterday Afternoon
and received a handsome cup. Offered
by the committee In charge of tn,
Catholic Reunion picnic.
For the first time since the newly or.
ganized institution entered upon tn,
aquatic game aspirants competed i'm a
regulation race and the pretty scene
and enthusiasm attending the event
give an insight as to what may result
wnen the sport has gained a firmel
hold upon the club members.
Coach franklin Is deserving of nc
small praise for the development which
mas already resulted from a pick OF
practically new material and, so far as
tair form was concerned, the partici-
pants in yesterdays race evidenced the
effects of careful training In the short
time which has elapsed since the new
boats arrived from San Diego.
The course stood a mile in distance
running to stakeboat up the lagoon
and then back to the finishing line in
front of the stand. Several thousand
spectators watched the sport with keen
interest and there Is small doubt but
that future regattas will become highly
popular among those who constantly
patronize the shore resorts
Leroy Swayne and James Routzan
were out In the first heat, which re-
suited in a victory for Swayne, won by
two lengths. Swayne was first around
the stakeboat and as the men swung on
forms n he of 4,
course, Routzan lost control and his
gig collided with Swayne's craft, throw
ing the latter from his course. A
moment later he had regained an
equilibrium and swept in front of Pout-
Zan at the finish.
Brothers Dick and Ray Dunnigan en-
tered for the second heat, which the
former won by scant half boats
length. Dick got away in the lead,
which he held throughout the race.
Near the finish he came near running
toul OF gangway on the north side of
the lagoon and barely evaded the OBJ
struction in time to cross first.
After a five minutes rest Dunnigan
and Swayne started with Dunnigan
rowing easily. The race was a walk
away. although both boats finished
close, Dunnigan squirting at the close.
Coach Franklin appeared we'll salts
fed at the result and predicts that
within short time some classy events
may be carded.
Dick Dunnigan leaves for San Diego
tomorrow where he will represent the
Los Angeles Athletic club in the re-
gatta Of the San Diego rowing organ
ization. Coach Courtney of the South
ern city has no end of material, much
of it veteran. to choose from, and a
victory for the local man would come
in the nature of a distinct triumph.

Chester OImstead Carries Sack on His

Thoroughly DISCUSSES Him

A man wearing a beard of two weeks

eyes, a dark blue sweater and high
boots a little the worse for wear. drifted
into the Angelus hotel early last even
ing.
There was a rough sack slung over
one shoulder and he carried a bag.
When he entered the door he motioned
to the bell boy to take his bags. The
bell boy was not used to taking orders
from men with two weeks beard on
their faces and other qualifying marks
of a tramp stamped upon them, and for
a moment he hesitated. Then shades
of Scotty came before him. He glanced
at the bag on the mans shoulder and
pictures of tips, miners tips, came be-
fore him.
He hurried to take the bags and the
man continued his journey toward the
counter.
Got any rooms?" he asked in a
husky voice which made the clerk to
look aSkance.
II don't know-what do you want?''
was the answer.
Then on second thought. What have
you got in these bags-where did you
get them?"
"I came from back in the mountains.
Anything else you want 20 know about
me? Do you intend to give me that

GoLDFIELD, Aug. s0.-George Siler,
who will referee the Cans Nelson con-
test held a consultation with the club
officials today in which matters relat-
ing to the timekeeper's duties were dis
cussed.
siler suggested that the club make
its selection of official timekeeper as
soon as possible so that q thorc gh 1n-
derstanding between that Off and
the referee may be reached at once.
II was agreed upon that the timekeeper
shall toll off the seconds in loud voice
and at the same time indicate with
his hands in a manner that can plainly
be seen by those present.
The referee is to act in unison with
the official timekeeper In the way or
counting and gesticulating so that there
can be absolutely no dispute as TO the
correctness of count
II think this suggestion, If acted up
on. will do much to protect the club,
public and principals" sad Mr.. Siler.
"And will leave absolutely no room for
dispute or argument of any kind"
The club decided to act upon Siler's
suggestions and the official time keeper
when selected will be instructed ac-
cordingly.
The fight arena, which was completed
this afternoon and which is pronounced
by newspaper men and others to be the
finest of it's kind ever constructed, has
cost the Goldfeld Athletic association
$4,000. 1t required 214,667 feet of lum-
ber to build the structure. Eighty-four
seats have been set aside for members
of press and 1t Is believed that this will
easily meet all requirements.
"If the number falls short" said
President Rickard tonight, 1--WE have
ample space to install additional Seats
Nothing remains but to install the NOV
ing picture stand, the mating and cam
vas, and arena is complete"
1t was reported today that w.
II. Hopkins of Chicago wagered
James Crooks. a broker of Pitts
burg. Pa, the sum of $4,000
against $4,000 on the result of the
fight. Hopkins took the Cans end of
the bet and Crook the Nelson end. This
is one of the largest Individual wagers
registered up to date.
Many bets Of smaller sums were made
in Goldfield today, 10 to 8, with Cans
the favorite being the ruling quotations.
There is plenty of Nelson money wait
ing to be placed in Goldfield, but the
short enders are holding back in the
hope of obtaining 10 to Z for their
money.
1t was suggested to Nolan today that
Cans might not, according to rumor,
agree to commence the fight lmmedi
ately after weighing in. ST will wait
reasonable time say fifteen or twenty
minutes. but not one additional minute.
That is final"
A heavy thunder and lightning storm
is raging in Goldfeld tonight.

Representatives of Pomona, Occiden-

comes more humorous as the semesters

Season after season the south end
men are solemnly barred and then al
lowed to contest in championship
games. The most exciting athletic oc-
currence of the last series occurred
when Occidental and st. Vincents
fought bitter struggle for the base
ball pennant, Occidental capturing the
laurel, which had been held for five
years by the Saints.
Preceding the season st. Vincent
had been tossed out, only to appear on
the field when contesting time came
round. The outcome of the coming
semester will be watched with inter-
est Why the Saints should be barred
and then placed upon the schedule lists
of the remaining colleges has never
been satisfactorily settled.
A feature of tomorrow's meeting
promises to be an argument as regards
what shall be done in connection with
