care, and on top OF this have given n
close study to the batting OF tho two
teams In their previous meeting for
the worlds championship.
From my data I have reached these
conclusions:
That the Athletic pitchers will not
be as effective against the Giants as
they were two years ago.
That the Athletics will hit Mathew
son and Marquard harder and more
successfully than they did two years
ago.
That the series probably will be won
BY one OF the youngsters.
That Demaree Is the most likely Of
them all to prove the sensation of the
series.
That neither Plank. Bender, Mathew
son nor Marquard is ut all likely to
be az good as he was two years ago.
That the selection OF pitchers will

lanae's Stolen Base.

One of the funniest incidents in
base stealing happened in Chicago
one of the years that Bill Lange
led the league in base running. 1t
was close race between Lange and
Hamilton for the honors in base
stealing, and the season was draw
ing to q close. The game was close,
and Lange led off in the eighth in
ming with a two bagger. Anson
went tc bat and laid down perfect
bunt, intending to sacrifice. He
went out in close finish at first
and, looking up, discovered Lange
still perched on second. He was
furious, but that condition was
mild to what he experienced an in
slant later when Lange stole third
and took the lead for base run
ming honors.

Held Up By Slot Machines.

A dispatch from Washington says
the circulation of the proposed new
nickel, scheduled for February Is,
has heen postponed indefinitely by
the Treasury department because of
protests of slot machine interests.
Manufacturers vigorously COM
planned that just as they had per-
fected chewing gum and other slot
machines to refuse counterfeit nick
els and "slugs' designed for fraud
the Government was about to place
in circulation a five cent piece, the
design of which would practically
nullify their inventions. Mint off,
cials agreed to delay circulation to
consider the protests.

PUZZLES IN FIGURES.
Some of the Unaolved Riddles In the
World of Numbers.


There are many mysteries in the
world of numbers-little things the
conditions of which a child can un-
derstand, though the greatest minds
cannot master. Everybody has
heard the remark, 1T is as hard as
squaring the circle" though many
people have a very hazy notion Of
what it means. 1t is this: If you
have a circular piece of paper, how
are you to cut out another piece in
the form of a square that shall con-
tain exactly the same area: Well,
it cannot be done with exactitude,
though we can get an answer near
enough for all practical purposes,
because it is not possible to say in
exact numbers what is the proper
ton of the diameter to the circum-
ference. But it is only in recent
times that it has been proved to be
impossible. Only cranks now waste
their time in trying to solve this
venerable puzzle.
Again, we can lever measure eX-
actly in numbers the diagonal of a
square. If you have a windowpane
exactly a foot on each side, there is
the distance from corner to corner
staring you in the face, yet you can
never say in exact numbers what is
the length of that diagonal The
no, ice will at once suggest that
we might take our diagonal first,
say an exact foot, and then con-
struct our square. Yes, you can do
this, but then you can never say ex-
actly what is the length of the side.
You can have it which way you like,
but you cannot have it both ways.
Here are a couple of puzzles that
have not been proved to be impos-
sible, but that nevertheless have
not been solved. They will give the
reader some fascinating employ
ment during spare hours if he hap
pens to be fond of figuring. First,
then, take the round table problem.
Nine persons are stopping at a
boarding house, and they all sit
down together to dinner on twenty
eight successive nights at round
table. The rule of the house is that
no person shall on any two occa-
sions have the two same neighbors.
How is it to be done, if at all?
Here is another poser. Ii we
write down the number, composed
of seventeen ones-11,1 Ill, I'LL, ILL.,
111,111-and ask you to find some
number-other than ! or the num-
Der itself-that will divide It with
out remainder the answer will give
you considerable labor to discover.
We will, however, say at once that
the only numbers that will divide it
are 2,071,723 and 5,363,222,357.
Now add two more ones to the num-
Der, and we cannot tell you whether
it can be exactly divided by any
number or not, for nobody knows.
If you can find such a divisor you
will have done something that no
body else in the world has yet sue
ceeded in doing. And we cannot
say that it is impossible.
