The common Idea as 10 the pnth of
the earth being fixed In space Is taken
exception TO by astronomers on the
ground that there are few. II any,
things In the domain OF astronomy that
can really be called fixed In space, the
fact being that unccnsing changes are
going on. though these chnngcs are
generally so slow rs to escape the notice
of superficial observer. but nre fortu-
natcly periodic, so that they fall within
the possibility of computation. Thus,
the earths path Is not fixed. since tho
ccllptic changes It's position among the
stars. In consequence OF which the OBJ
l!Qnlty OF the ecliptlc undcrgOcs n very
slow change, SO that while at present
1t Is few seconds more than % de-
grees 81 minutes in about $1,000 years
astronomers calculate ii will be re
duccd to 22 degrees 10 minutes, after
which 1t will begin to increase ngnin,
change so slow and within such mar
row limits that II can produce no sensi-
bic alterations In the seasons. The fact
remains q positive one that even If
the earth In Its orbltnl and consequent
ly the sun In It's apparent motion In the
cclIptic were circular. neither The mo-
ton In dcclination nor In right asccr.
sion could be uniform.

warriors as they heaved the sphere
around the diamond in true profess
sIonal style.
No sooner had the Coast team set
foot on Hawaiian soil than they
unged to visit the ball field, and as
soon as they partook of a light lunch
they chased out to the grounds. Ev-
cry man Of them exclaimed with sur
prise when he saw the grounds.
claiming that they were far superior
To anything in the Coast League.
Well they chased out on the dia-
mOnd and went through some infeld
work the like of which is seldom
seen in this neck of the woods.
Ground-hit balls and dihcult
throws were handled with the ease
and grace that only professionals are
capable Of. The crowd of Honolulu
fans looked on in wonderment.
That is baseball team" they all
said.
Mr.. Fan, this will be the biggest
baseball day that these Islands have
ever seen. Put on your Sunday toys,
dig the price of an admission card
from deep within your jeans and
wend your way to the ball grounds,
there you can get four times your
moneys worth stacked in one after
/ oon's entertainment.
Both teams are strong and com
posed of healthy athletes who will be
in the game from the first to the last
Dell The All-Eawaii team is the
best that has ever been gotten to-
Eether in this country and It is up to
them to make good, and no one will
say after the game that they did not
try.
