activity against which Il Is
directed except baseball games at

During the 50 years Of the Brook
Ign baseball club we have repeatedly
been requested by the police to play
championship games at our grounds
on SUNDAYS (Which would be con-
ner without interfering with church
hours or the repose Of the commun-
ity). These requests come mainly
from those who cannot spare time
from business during the week: who
have only Sundays for recreation and

have endeavored TO comply with the
wishes Of this large and constantly
increasing number of Brooklyn resi-

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally II Is Four Times That Of
the Aerial, but This Does Not
Always Hold Coed.

In articles Of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 2OO-meter wave
lengths. GO0-mile wave-lengths, To-
OOO-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to a correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
"The length Of an electric wave is
determined by wave-meter. The nat
ural wave-length of an aerial is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of note of closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe and the wave-length of the note
Of a tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which Is reasOnant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make it difficult to measure
the wave-length by rule, and the
wave-meter gives Il more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"
