Reinforced Concrete And
 Its Use In Mine Shafts

Reinforced concrete is becoming quite popular at mines in the copper and iron districts or Lake Superior. Especially is this the case at tue copper mines of that part of the country, where the mill tailings make an excellent grade of sand for such work These tailings are available at any Of the mines and need simply be loaded into cars and hauled back to the mines The fact that there is much rejected hoisting cable in fair condition right at hand for the rein forcement, at practically no expense, encourages such work, as il costs lit- tle more than the labor of preparing the concrete. and putting 1t in place. plus the cost of the cement required At the iron mines the sand cannot be obtained as cheaply as at the cop per mines. nor can the rubbie for use in making the concrete be Ob- tained as easily fi@m the mine work ings as at the copper mines, the poor rock from the amygdaloidal de. posits themselvs makes excellent, an gular fragments Of sufficient strength for such work.
 Hes It's Limitation.
 Reinforced concrete mas it's fieic and it's limitation for use al mines. It is most excellent for making pn- derground dams and for constructing water.tisht collars to shafts that are taking in considerable water near the surface. as ifs quite characteristic m the Lake Superior region with it's drift-coveerd outcrops and heavy snows which. when they melt in the spring. watering the whole porous covering.

The b!s spoF, day program of the r. NJ C. A.. held on Christmas. was one of the most successi al entertain ments held by the association in a long time. The day was divided into three main events and all were very well attended.
 In the morning the running Of the Marathon race proved 10 be one of the biggest successes Of the day. The excellent time made by the contest ants. especially Hoffer. who ended first. made the race by ia, the best that has been run this season. The race was over a three-mile course and the winners time was a little over fourteen minutes. in the afternoon very good gymnastic exhibition was given in the gymnasium A feature of this was a basket ball game be- tween the boys and girls teams, which was won by the boys by a narrow mar gin. The exhibition was very well attended
 The feature of the day was the night smoker which crowded the gymna- sium. An interesting and varied pro gram. ending with a good boxing match. was presented and the whole entertainment proved to be a big success.
 On Friday night the postponed game between the Quakers and the Boomers, in the yolley Ball league. will be played off. The Old Timers and the Rompers will also meet on the same night These games will probably end the volley ball season at the Y. NJ. c. A.
 Beginning January :, the boxing tournament will be resumed. The tournament will be re-inaugu-ated by a big four bout card, which will very probably change the present stand ing. The bouts will be held each Tuesday night through the remainder of the season.
 Plans are now under way for the organization of '. M. C. A. basket ball league The league will be made up of both members and non-members. To get the league started a meeting will be held Monday night, January 5. at which all inetrested in the sport are asked to be present The ar engagements as to the nights of play and the frequency of the games will then be arranged. It is hoped that at least thirty will attend the meet ing so that six teams may be organ ized
 basket ball league is also being organized by the High school and this league will include all payers not on the first team. It Is hoped 10 have a team from each of the four classes. The games will be played in the Y. M C. A. gymnasium. the schedule 10 be arranged later

Richie had WOlgast beaten when the

Richie agree to meet him at 135 pounds
instead of 1913 ringside as the American
weight calls for. Britton would also

Il think it would be wise thing for

have always been n favor, too, Of the

and all weighing at three o'clock in

The announcement that Willie Richie
the new lightweight champion viii
raise the weight limit to 1875 pounds
TO suit his own convenience, does not
strike the boxing fans with the right
ring. Richie has no right TO raise the
limit However, under the circums tan
ceS, 1t might be good thing for the
game if the limit was raised and made
to conform with the lightweight limit
in other countries, which is 1875 pounds.
An effort has been made for the past
10 years 10 have uniform scale OF
weights adopted by the various cOun-
tries but without success. Now 1t may
be brought about by the new champion,
for if he insists on raising the limit
to suit his own fancy it will mean
that it Will go to where the British and
French weights are already placed also

champion. Wolgast has always claimed
the worlds title, but he really had no
honest claim to it Looking at this
matter in a broad light, Freddie Welsh,
the new British champion, has equal
claims to the worlds title. WOlgast
never defeated the British or Austria
liam champion for the worlds title, nor
for that matter, did Battling Nelson
so that Richie can only be considered
the American champion.
Should Richie want to tilt the weight
it would meet the approval of the Brit
ish, French and Australian boxing
critics, for that is just where they stand
on it now Practically all the pro-
moters in the states are against ring
side weighing, and If the limit is
changed it would be a good idea at the
same time to change the weighing
time from ringside to two or three
o'clock the day Of the contest. If this
was done it would bring about uni
form weight for the lightweight class
at least
Following the defeat Of Ad Wolgast
BY Willie Richie come challenges from
all sides to the new champion and the
promoters are breaking their necks try
ing to get some Of the choice matches
in sight The best match Of the whole
lot seems to have been passed by in the
excitement, and that is between Joe
Rivers and Wolgast The fans do not
forget the remarkable fight between
Rivers and Wolgast, when the latter
won on an alleged foul or knockout,
and the fact that Rivers defeated Joe
Mandot, who was considered next IN
line to WOlgast, would make RIVERS
Wolgast fight almost as interesting as
one between the champion and Rivers.
It would set at rest the claims by the
two men in their former battle ana
would bring the winner into the lime
light for another championship contest
