Sporting Notes ;
Failure of the Live Ball.
BY SQUARE DEAL.

Federal league promoters, who
adopted a ball just about twice as live
~ as the one used in the major leagues
IN the hope that the public would be
pleased with the increased batting that
this sphere produces, seem to have
been in error. The lively ball has been
dropped by the new league and one
which is much like that used in organ-
lied ball adopted.
Many of the playing fields Of the
Federal league are small, and the live
~ ball made home run hits SO numer-
II that they arc no longer considered
a feature. Incidentally the games pro
duced big scores, and the public was
rapidly gaining the impression that the
Federal league was not producing an
article of real major league ball; hence
the change Of balls.

VALUE OF A TRADE DOLLAR.
What Gold and Silver Were Rated at

~
Three mining engineers We're gather

question as to the value of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as it may
SEEM, no II knew its value, and there
was considerable haZiness as to the
exact value of an ounce OF pure gold
or Of the old fashioned value Of an
ounce of silver. says Il correspondent
in the Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal. Calculations which l made SEEM
ed to indicate that the ratio Of gold to
silver in 1870 was not exactly 16 to l.
Possibly it may be of interest to the
profession to know the exact figures
which 1 have received from the assay
err of the mint bureau, United States
treasury.
Coinage value Of one ounce pure
gold is $2O.671S34625. A convenient
fact, easy to remember, regarding this
figure is that forty-three ounces Of coin
gold, 900 fine, are worth $500.

year ago! Today many churches have
engaged teachers to instruct the youth
of the congregation in the mysteries of
the new dances.
The tango craze struck the big New
York hotels about a year ago and ragged
through the summer in the livelier res
taurants in spite of Mayor Gaynor and
the purists. This summer, however. no
hostelry, be it ever so aristocratic, has
been able to resist the fever. The
dansants and dinner dansants are
now a regular part Of the hotel pro-
gram. In most a dancing teacher is
employed by the hotel, who instructs
the guests in the intricacies Of the new
steps. Maisons de dances are springing
up on every hand, and ever the tiny
tea rooms have been pressed into serv-
ice by small parties Of debutantes who
escape the eagle eyes of chaperons for
an innocent cup Of tea after shopping.
This is doubtless one Of the secrets
of the success of the ~tango-that it re-
quires such a comparatively small
space. Persons who would not be will
ing to spend time or money to adjourn
to a ballroom after dinner find that
they are just in the mood for a dance
when they need not exert themselves
further than to rise from their chairs
and dance. The older people, who were
banished from the old ballroom be-
cause they We're always in the way,
found that they could sit around the
rim and watch the tango. Then they
saw that it was a comparatively slow
and easy dance, so they tried it them
selves.
The result is one of the marvels Of
the day. 1t is not only the young folk
who tango, but middle aged business
men and women who might be sus-
pected of doing it as flesh reducers
were it not for the beam Of JOY which
illumines their ~countenances such as
a.. was never e on the face of gym
mast. 1t is doing the old folks good, of
course. Now they get little else.
Bridge and poker are forgotten. The
musical and formal reception are in
complete without Il room for dancing.
One might as we'll be eXiled in the be-
ginning as to try to break into society
without the tango.

new dance, it is, of course. no newer

originally came from Spain and was
carried by the Spanish to South Amer
lea, whence we know it, indirectly
through Paris.
Although all the modern dances have
generally been known as the tango, IT
late, as they have each grown mo1e
popular, we are beginning to get used
to the terms "hesitation," "maX1Xe"
and lone STEP These are being spo-
ken with as much frequency in the
ballroom and elsewhere as the tango"
which is really a dance by itself. The
one step is what is left of the old tur-
key trot after it was toned down, and
the maXiXe came to us from Brazil
through Paris, while the hesitation
originated in Paris.
The hesitation waltz is the most dig
ni1ied and beautiful of any Of the mod
ern dances as yet conceived. just as
the old waltz has always been the most
elegant Of all ballroom %favorites. 1t is
also the only modern dance which
from it's inception has always been in
vogue in some form or other. 1t has
now been taken from its chaotic stage
and nodded into a set form generally
agreed upon by the principal opponents
of the new dances. Here is the right
way to dance it:
The Standardized Hesitation.
Tempo-Three-quarter.
Cycles-Four Of eight measures each.
Counts-Three to each measure, six to
complete one hesitation step.
