Squaring of the Circle

THIS is a problem that has occupied the
minds of many men, both of modern
and of ancient times The problem is this:
To figure out the side of Il square having
the same area as that of any given circle.
Well, of course, this could be done by find
ing the area of the circle and obtaining the
square root-if the area of circle could
he found But it is now proven that such
is almost an impossiblity OF course every
school boy knows that to get the area of
circle we have to square the diameter and
multiply by certain number, :.1416, which
is called pi This pi is the relation of
diameter to IA circumference in any partic-
ular circle-that is the length of the cir
conference is equal to pi times the diame-
ter. Now the difficulty lies in obtaining
true value for pi. 1t has been proven that
no two numbers in the form of a fraction
can be it. Say. for instance. 22-7, which Is
used occasionally for it, here we have two
numbers. but the value of the fraction is
not quite correct-so mathematics says that
no two numbers can express it, This seems
to an ordinary reader impossible, for sup
pose the diameter is inch, why cannot
the length of the circumference be ex-
pressed in inches and fractions thereof. OF
course for all ordinary intents and purposes
1T can, but the exact value has never been
found. The value of pi has been taken to
over six hundred places IF decimals and
has never Yet come out even. The first 121
are folows-and to the students who see
this would advise clipping of this. it

NEW YORK CRITIC SAYS
JEFFRIES LOOKS WORRIED

A New York fight critic, writing from
Jeffries training camp, says about the
big fellow: "Jeffries weighs more than
240 pounds now. He may be heavier than
that, but there's no way of finding out
the exact figures, as he refuses to step
on the scales. At any rate he's a whole
lot heavier than when he fought Fitzsinl-
mons, COrbett and Sharkey in New York
ten years ago, and he weighed 200 for
Shsrkey.
When I looked Jeffries over he
seemed to tire quickly and also perspired
too much. His face had yellowish tint
and mis- eyes did not show the old fire.
He was in bad humOr and appeared TO
have crouch about everything. His be-
havlOr Indicated to me that he was wor-
Tying about something, but that may have
been due to the excitement in getting set
tied at the camp and his Wifes Illness"

Naturally the Pittsburgs will be a
closely watched team during the Ma
tiOnal league race. Being the cham
pions and also holders of the worlds
honors. added interest is given TO their
efforts because every fan is wondering
If the Pirates can repeat. 1t was rather
easy shedding for the Pittsburg aggre-
cation in 1909, and the peunant was
einched long before the season came to
a close.
When the Pirates won the flag it
meant the fourth ma jor league pennant
for the club under the mana cement of
Fred Clarke. In 1901 Clarke gave the
Smoky City its first flag and came back
with his great machine in 1902 and
1903. in 1908 Pittsburg made SPLEEN
did fight, but lost to Chicago in the
game that meant the pennant The
bad holes in that team were plugged
last season and the pennant grab bling
followed If Clarke repeats this season
it will put him in the front row of
winners, with five pennants, the record
to date. Pittsburg was admitted to
the National league in 1887, and has
continuously retained its membership
since that time but it took Fred Clarke
to turn the pennant winning trick, and
stamp himself as one Of the masters Of
baseball.
In building up his team for this sea-
son Clarke Will have but little to do.
His outfield is intact with himself
Tommy Leach and Wilson. A pretty
sweet trio it IS, too. First base has
to be covered by new man, Bill Alb
stein having been left out. Sharpe and
Flynn are the leading applicants for
the place. with chances favoring Sharpe
at present Johnny Miller. whose great
rise to fame in 1909 created sensa
ton, will be at second with Hans WaE-
ner at his old place at short, ready to
go after batting honors again, and
Bobby Byrne al third. Gibson will of
course do the bulk of the catching,
with Simon O'COnner and Bridges
going after the extra places in the
backstOpping department.
OF the 1909 pitching staff. Adams,
Camnitz, Lever. Philippe, Maddox, Lei
field Powell Frock and Brandon are
left Webb. secured from Grand Rap
ids. is a likely candidates for south paw
duty and viii probably stick, while
Harry Camnitz and Moore have a
chance to stick.
With this lineup it is safe to count
on the Pirates all the way. The team
that beats them out will win the pen
nant. The Chicago. fans believe the
Cubs can do it with King back, but
when you have hitters like Wagner.
Clarke and Leach all baseball generals
with Gibson and Miller in reserve, there
is some batting strength to be figured
on and also some base running ability.
The pitching department is the only
chance for the Pirates to fan down. but
the staff as this time looks every bit
as good as last season and even
stronger in some respects.

DAY Of MANY SENSATIONS At
Los ANGELES MOTORDOME
Playa Rey Cal April 49, Two American speedway records
broken the motordrome here this afternoon The crowd also
thrilled by two mishaps which barely escaped being serious

In the ten-mile free-for-all, while lead
ing by good margin, the Darracq, driv-
q by Ben Kerscher, threw a tire. The
car was going at a speed OF 50 miles an
hour at the time. The tire rolled along
the upper rim OF the pie pan for 200
feet and then leaped the outer fence,
bounding SO feet in the air The car
sWerVed to the side and it was with the
greatest difficulty that Kerscher brought
the machine to a stop without an acct
dent. Bragg was following closely In
Fiat and missed the rolling tire by only
few inches.
In the second mile of the 50-mTe race
the Buick, driven by Nikrent. broke
steering knuckle and slid off the track.
Nikrent slammed on all the brakes and
the car was stopped right side up. The
pitch of the track prevented a bad accl-
dent, as it caused the car to slide to-
ward the inside, instead of shooting
through the fence, as probably would have
occurred on a dirt track.
