NEW YORK is GAY
Hoarded Up Liquid Refreshments
Much In Evidence

New York. Jan. 1.-Celebration of
the advent of the new year continued
until dawn in the hotels and restaurants
along the "Great White Way" the
revelers taking advantage of what they
considered the last opportunity to cele-
brate in the hilarious manner tradi-
tional to New York. Police and other
observers said the crowds which jam
med upper Broadway from midnight un
til nearly morning were equal in size
and spirit to those of former years.
While unnumbered thousands pa
raded the thoroughfare with all sorts of
noise makers, other thousands who with
foresightedness had purchased stocks of
wines and liquors before July 1 were
making merry in the hotels and restau-
rants. Much of the liquid refresh
ments was sent in advance by truck
after reservations for the night had been
made. A heavy profit through ''cork-
age and cooling" charges was
reaDed.

JOHN ROSENFEL DER.
Executor.
The Washington times., 1920-07-18

we're no atmosphere, everything else he-
ing equal, the lighter the pail happened to
be the farther II would go. The frictioh Of
the air, however. slows the ball up con-
siderably. and this fact has to be taken
into consideration with several others.
The conclusion which science reaches is
that the heavier the ball is, without in
Creasing its size or decreasing It's elias
tcity. the farther It will go after being
struck with the bat
The direction taken by batted ball Is
affected TO some extent by the rotation Of
the ball as 1t strikes the bat This factor
is Of the greatest importance when the
bat does not strike the ball squarely
II is possible for the bat to hit the ball
in such way that it actually increases the
latter's rotation. In other words, il is per-
fectly possible for the batter to hit the
ball in such a way that it takes on a de-
cided curve. Everybody who plays golf
knows what a common occurrence this is
on the links. golf ball when struck acc-
dentally off centre will often describe the
weirdest imaginable path through the air,
particularly If 1t passes through various
air currents.
home run depends to a very large ex-
tent upon the direction given the batted
ball. The importance of this factor may
be estimated as nine times that Of the
speed given the batted ball BY direction
we mean not only the horizontal angle, but
also the vertical angle at which the ball
leaves the bat. For example, no matter
how hard the ball is hit, it will never re-
suit in a home run unless II clears the
upstretched arms Of the players in the
field.
It is plain that the direction given
the batted ball must depend TO large
extent upon the manner in which the ball
is travelling before 1t meets the bat. Pro.
vided the ball is given a proper rota-
tion on its horizontal axis by the pitcher,
the kind OF curve best suited to make 1t
difficult to hit it at the proper vertical
angle is either the down shoot or the up
shoot On account OF the many variable
factors concerned science believes that any
home run made with either Of these curves
is a lucky chance pure and simple.
After the ball has been set in motion by
the bat with a certain speed. the distance
II will go depends upon the vertical angle
at which it starts. The most desirable
angle is one OF AZ degrees with the ground,
or about half right angle. other factors
which determine the distance a batted ball
will travel are the speed OF the ball, its
sphericity, the smoothness OF its surface
and its lack OF rotation. The greater the
speed Of the ball the more perfectly
spherical It is, the smoother its surface
and the less rotation with which it travels
the farther it will go. Atmospheric con.
ditions, OF course, enter into the problem
A ball will go farther in a clear air that is
free from moisture. The wind may carry
1t bodily for quite distance or may retard
its progress
II science we're asked to make n djfficuIt
Or well.nigh impossible for Babe" Ruth to
