Hound ". Rabbit.

Since the path Of the hound is al
ways toward the instantaneous posi-
ton Of the rabbit, the tangent to
the hounds path is always perpen-
dicular to that Of the rabbit. Hence
the path Of the hound Is the 'TN-
VOLUTE" Of the circle, whose
equations, in terms Of the angle AZ
the center Of the circle as parnmeter,
can be found in any Calculus. Also,
It is an easy matter to express the
velocities IN the respective paths as
functions Of the same parameter.
We need only impose the condition
that that one velocity shall be 20
and the other 20, and equate the two
resulting equations. The solution Of
the above equation will give the
value Of the parameter at the point
Of intersection Of the two paths; the
time required can then be easily
calculated, since the radius Of the
circle Is known.

Root defeated Gardner.
While Hart and Root we're good

did not appeal TO the fans. and Harris
victory was an empty triumph Many
sports considered that Philadelphia

either to fight for the vacant cham
