SQUARING THE CIRCLE.

whose area will equal the area Of
given circle.

made 500 years before the exodus Of
the Jews. Since at least 1900 B. c.

Books have been written to prove
that it is impossible. others to prove

possibility. others again to prove the
impossibility of proving it's possibility.
One scientist. a professor Of Zurich.

CATCHER Killing
IS REINSTATED
SENTENCE OF $500 FINE I'M
POSED ON PLAYER
National Commission Decides Chicago
Contract Must Be Fulfilled at
Same Salary-Johnson Fails
to Sign Ruling
Associated Pressl

Associated Press1
CINCINNATI, March 80 John G. King the
premier catcher of the Chicago Nationals, will
be reinstated in organized baseball on his pay
ment of a fine of $500, according to the decis-
ion Of the national commission made public
today The decision was signed only by Chair
man August Hermann and Thomas j. Lyncn,
president of the National league. Tho name
of b. b. Johnson, president of the American
league, Is missing.
The commission viii require Charles w.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Nationals,
to show cause why he should not be fined at
least $500 for violation Of rule AZ, which FOR
bids a club to submit a contract to In
eligible player. Furthermore the Chicago club
will not be allowed to trade, sell or release
Killing for one season, nor will 1T be permit
ted to pay Kings fine, directly or Indirectly,
under Severe penalty"
King was fined not for his failure to report
to the Chicago club nor for the violation of
his contract. but solely for his connection
with the Missouri Athletic club semi-profes-
sional team of Kansas City and his playing
with and against ineligible players during the
time he was with that club.
King will also be required to carry out
tho terms of his original contract which still
has one more season to run This called for
salary of si5O0 year The commission
states that Kings action cannot be termed
violation of contract" as 1t has been un-
derstood and accepted in baseball law.
In speaking Of the leave Of absence granted
Killing by Murphy on April 26. 1909, the de-
cison says that Murphys statements are mis-
leading 1t says that the leave of absence
has no bearing the case, as 1T was not
one entered into or agreed on in good faith"
The commission takes occasion to explain
its action In reinstatlng Hal Chase Of the New
York Americans last season, saying it was
not granted because of his ability as a player,
but because there were many extenuating cir
cumstanees.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.--Suit in
equity under the Sherman antitrust
law is to be instituted by the depart
ment of justice against what is known

forming the pool touch at American
ports is the basis for proceedings un-
der the Sherman law. All the steamship
Companies involved in the proposed

suit to dissolve foreign corporation,
it may institute proceedings affecting
its operations as practiced on American
territory and can secure an injunction

Norway's Simple King
From Harper's Bazaar.


The Scandinavian is distinguished by
certain simplicity of bearing far exceeding
that of the more sophisticated English
speaking world. and certainly the people
of Sweden display rather more of the
great world-manner than the Norwegians.
Indeed, the western side of the peninsula
is comparatively rural, and the young
king, seated upon little throne, is mora
like a president of a rustic democracy
than a crowned monarch, so at one is he
with the common people. 1t is like play
ing with royalty. and one almost feels
that he might at any moment tilt his
crown bit askew and wink his eye.
pretty little anecdote met us in Chris
tiania. lately. 1t seems that a quiet tall
or-made little lady went into one of the
shops one day and bought a pair of
shoes, and when the saleswoman asked
her address. she replied: You need not
deliver them. Just have them wrapped,
II you please. My husband will meet mo
here and he will carry them And in
moment. his Majesty the King came
in, took the queens parcel and they
walked out together as If they had never
heard of the crown of Norway.

Another summer show was adde

Another summer show was added to the
constantly increasing list last week by
Lew Fields, who presented his new play,
THE Summer Widowers," at the Broad
way theatre.
1t is a stupendous production, and there
are 20 musical numbers in the score. The
play, however, Is not above the mediocre,
and the music is on par, although there
are several song hits which promise to
attain popularity.
BY far the most successful feature of
the production are the effects. The first
scene shows the boardwalk at Atlantic
City in front of the Marlborough Blen-
helm hotel; in the second the surf at the
Mllilon-Dollar pier ir shown; in the third
the audience is treated to a typical street
scene in New York, and the fourth is
rather mediocre but tasty, showing the
interior of a delicatessen and fancy gro
Gerry store. The above mentioned scenes
are all in the first act. In the second act
the first scene shows the lobby of the
Folderof roof garden, and the final scene
shows the roof garden itself.
The chorus is good and beautifully
gowned. Lew Fields essays the principal
role in the cast

owing to the unique way she has of adj
vertising herself, will undoubtedly prove
a great drawing card.
Polaires career began about five years
ago. She was doing a little turn in a
Partisan music hall and meeting with
mild success until French critic came
out with the startling and insulting state
ment: Go to see her! She's the ugliest
actress on earth" But Polaire was not
insulted. On the contrary, she saw her
opportunity and seized 1t. She accentu-
ated all her peculiarities as much as pos
sible, until she was hideous to look at.
