The Arithmetic of the Stars

Oook back at our definition Of par
allan is 100000 miles. we must
multiply that number 10y 206.265. if
the parallaX is precisely one second
of-arc. and the product 1855. 900. -
100000. gives us distance. For con-
venience we drop all except the first
two significant figures. leaving -
0O0. 100000. 900. which represents. in
miles. the value Of the 'parseC. -
lately adopted as the standard or
measurement for stellar distances
But in all cases star parallaxes
are less than a second -of-arc. and
usually but small fraction OF a
second They are expressed deci-
mally. thus O".1O. which means that
the parallaX is one-tenth of a sec
ond-of-arc. or COS. which means a
parallaX Of five ne-hundredths of
a second. How are YOU TO apply the
rule 70 these decimal. or fractional.
parallaXes?
II is very easy. for all YOU have
to do is to divide 100000. 600. 600.
the mile-value Of one second. by
fraction representing the actual

an example. take the second ca Sc

II do not know which-crept in
TO an article Of mine about the dis
lance Of the great star Sirius, I
think il would be useful 20 state
once for all in the plainest possible
way the rule by which the distance
OF the stars in miles can be cal
culated from the technical data
given i'm astronomical works, 50
that every body can help himself in
this matter.
Now. let me say that il a reader
should see the distance Of any star
given i'm less than Il figures ne may
be sure that there is a mistake and
that the distance is understated.
Alpha Centauri. probably the near
est star Except our own star, the
SUM- is at distance Of about 20
OOO. coo. 900 900 miles.
The basis for the calculation of
the distance Of the stars is fur
nished by the mean radius of the
earth's orbit. l. e.. the earth's dis
lance from the sun. This serves for
base line" and can be used like
surveyors base line for measur-
ing the angular displacement of OBJ

site ends In the case Of the stars
this displacement is called "paral-

fine mashie player, being one of the
pupils of the famous J. II. Taylor, five
times open champion Of Great Britain.
There is chanc. that the two
matches will be played at Englewood
and at Van Cortlsndt Park, II these
two courses can be secured. The dates
while tentative now, will probably be
for Sunday afternoon, September 16,
1T Englewood. and few days later
on some weekday afternoon at Van
Cortlandt. These two courses are very
handy for the public. and IL is the hope.
Of the Rcd Cross committee that
courses can be selected TO draw out the
big gallery that will desire TO watch
proceedings.
This match will be the most unusual
event Of tho golhng season. There
will be a world OF advance discussion
as to just how many strokes 8 man
champion should give a woman cham
pion in the way Of proper handicap.
There are many who believe that with
a 9-stroke start Mrs. Gavin will be un-
beatable. There are others who are
sure that Jerry can win.
If Mrs. Gavin can &c, around in So,
Trsvers will have 10 approximate 13
70 finish first. In any event. the issue
will be fairly we'll settled over the So
hole route, and further details will be
supplied later when fnsl arrangements
are made.
New-York tribune., 1917-09-05

There will be some preliminary dis
cussion "a to Just how many strokes
handicap Mrs. Gavin should have, but
the chances arc that. she viii have a
nine-stroke margin for each lS-hole
match.
This is the handicap ;hat Harold
Hilton gave 10 Miss LeItch in EnCi"gd
some years ago in a similar test. Miss
Leitch won with this handicap, Out
neither was at his or her best.
The Hiltou-Leitch match attracted
enormous crowds and in the final
round over 100000 was wagered on tho
result, the bulk OF it on the London
Stock Exchange.
Both Trayers end Mrs. Gavin are
leading representatives. Of their re-
spectiyo sexes. Jerry is four time
amateur champion and cy-opcn chant
pion. His match play powers are too
well known for any further discussion
Mrs. Gavin is one Of the leading
women players of the world, star OF
first magnitude. She has played Pip
ing Rock in 70 strokes. Baltsrol in 81
and other hard courses in the low 80's.
II can be seen from this, il she is on
her game. what task Travers will
have in yielding . strokes.
While Jerry is a wonderful putter,
he will find Mrs. Gavin almost his
equal on the greens. In winning the
metropolitan championship back in
June she established the remarkable
record OF not taking over two puts on

Army Is Allowed
Football, but No
Annapolis Game

WEST POINT, y. Y. Sept. THE
Army will have football this fall. Il
was announced to-day that permission
had been given to the cadets Of the
Military Academy to engage in COM
petition with outside colleges on the
gridiron.
But it was also said that there will
be no Army Navy game. The restors-
tion Of the game here will fill void
in the grind of cadet life al the
academy.
The Army ia going 70 put strong
team on the grdiron this year IN spite
of the fact that two graduations dur
ing the last four months have robbed
the soldiers Of much experienced foot
ball timber. There will be no effort
made here 10 secure the detail OF any
Army officers TO the academy as
coaches.
Captain Godfrey Keyes, class Of 1S,
an instructor on duty in the depart
ment Of languages, has been appointed
head coach. keyes Was a half-back on
the Army varsity teams Of II and u,
and was ranked high in those days. He
was also assistant coach to Captains
DAILY and Graves. He had charge of the
Army eleven OF last year. Captain
Keyes will be assisted in the coaching
Of the Army eleven by several other
former Army players, who are already
on duty at the academy.
Captain J. f. MacMahon. the newly
elected football representative, will
have charge Of the schedule making.
