SOME BIG LIFTS.
Crane and Magnet Steel Samsons
That JuggIe 7cith Tons.

Man has done with his muscles something IN
the way Of lifting, Samson, Hercules and Atlas
having established oldtime records that might
or might not stand the tests of to-day. In 1900
however W. B. Curtis, an American, whose
name is not familiar as that OF Samson
lifted with = harness, 3,239 pounds, the equiv
aIent of two chunky draft horses. There are
few Sansons or Curtises, however, the average
man being fearful of injuring his muscles if he
attempts to lift $50 pounds. A scuttle of coal
has been found heavy by some men. But there
is great deal of lifting to be done in the world
so man has been obliged to invent ways of
doing If The lifting of great weights has
played an important part In the progress of
civilization. and the Inventions especially IN re
cent years, intended to supplement the feeble
power of man III this line numerous and
extraordinarily effective.
One of the landmarks established IL recent
years along the New Jersey shore of the Hudson
River is a pair Of skeleton steel structures on
one of the piers q short distance south of the
Iackawanna passenger station. The structures
with their plumee Of steam, are especially prom
inent among the sights which greet the eyes of
the throngs Of commuters as they cross the
broken waters Of the Hudson on the ferryboats
Sometimes a cloud Of black dust is seen to float
inward in a desuItory fashion through the
members of the steel skeleton. These structures
are a modern device for quickly unloading cars
Of their cargoes of coal The car is run upon
platform and clamped fast. Then the platform,
with its 5O-t ton load is lifted and the car turned
almost upside down. The anthracite rattles
into a giant hopper. From this il slides down
into the barge lying alongside. The car. which
has been picked up by the slack Of its trousers,
so to speak. is returned to its normal position
and place and is trundIed off to make way for

Occidental track enthusiasts received
the greatest setback of the season yes
terday when President Baer announced
as final that Archie Kellogg would not
be allowed to compete in any of the
intercollegiate meets this year, his en-
tering conditions as freshman being
incomplete.
For some time it had been rumored
around the Presbyterian institution
that the speedy youngster would be
barred, but 1t was hoped he might ar
range his credits in some suitable man.
ner, that would bring forth the consent
of the faculty to allow him to run.
With the elimination of Kellogg from
participation in the big meets, Occi-
dentals chances of winning are con-
siderably diminished He is a star
sprinter, the 220-yard dash being his
best event. In this race last year he
repeatedly defeated Brewer and won
from both Rogers and Brewer in the
Pomona dual meet. Not only in the
sprints will Occidental be affected by
his loss but also in the relay, where he
was counted in for fourth man. 1t
seems that a new man must be de-
veloped for this event.

MEMSIC MAKING
WEIGHT EASILY
FINDS 1T NO DIFFICULT JOB
ANY MORE
SHOWING UP IN oLD-TiME FORM
AT EAST SIDE
Friends of Bohemian scrapper Much
Encouraged by Results of His
Training for Battle with
Welsh Tuesday

Freddie Welsh and George Mensic
are hard at work preparing for their
ten-round boxing contest which will
take place at McCareys pavilion next
Tuesday evening. The boys are to
weigh in at o'clock that evening, the
stipulated figure being 1873 pounds.
At first it was thought that it would
be difficult for Memsic to make the
weight and be strong at the same time,
but his showing at Eastside, where he
is training, has made it apparent to
all those who have witnessed his work
that he will be able to make 1873 at
and be able to put up as good a bat
tie as he is capable of doing at any
weight.
Welsh is at Venice and while al
ready at the weight at which he will
enter the ring he will put in some
strenuous training until next Tues
day, as he fully realizes that Memsic
is much the strongest of all the boys
he has met in the west and he will
take no chances of being caught nap
ping, as he has based all his hopes and
engagements on winning from the
German. Welsh is at the height of
his ability in the ring and he expects
to get a decision over Memsic, as he
has done against all of the other boys
whom he has tackled, with the excep-
ton of Packy Mcfarland, with whom
he obtained a draw.
The preliminaries have not yet been
arranged, but will include a battle
royal, such as made a hit recently at
McCareys pavilion, and one ten-round
and one six-round bout. The prelimi-
naries will be made up today.
Packy Mcfarland, who is coming to
the coast to meet Dick Hyland at Nc
Carey's pavilion on the evening of
January Is, will arrive in Los Angeles
this evening in time to attend the

thre years ago and won consistently bay be
forced to don the spikes In the meets of 1906
he ran the hundred several times in the fast
time of 10 2-5 seconds, but his studies forced
him to drop out of the game. Captain Rush

race he made 81 20 yesterday, which is good
time for such early date
