THE 310RXING OREGOXIAX. MONDAY, 31 ARC II 22, 1909. STARS ARE USED TO MEASURE THE j ' I John McNulty Explains Swli - icance of the Term "Equinox." DAY AND NIGHT ARE EQUAL Sun Directly Above Equator and Northern and Southern Hemi spheres Obtain Same Amount ofl.lftlu Xo Absolute Rest. y Jnnn MrNulty. Nautical Expert in charge of Portland liranch U. S. Hydrographlc office. Every day people Use tlme. It Is as necessary to cur complicated -modem lives as fire or food is. We only have to try 4.I10 experiment of doing without .time to learn this. Abolish time and its manu facture, with all the instruments which are needed to keep account of the passage of tIm-. and we would irrow to the point of naylnc that time was the basis of everything. Nowadays every merchant and banker knows that time and money are interchangeable quantities In their computations. But, how many people you meet every day can explain Just what is this time, where does it come from? What is the foundation for its voinputallon? Very few indeed. Yesterday was Sunday, March 21, 1909. The almanac will say that this is the equinoctial season. People remark we ate having equinoctial weather, if it should be stormy. and usually they only have an indefinite Idea that about this time of year this la so. that the equi noctial term should be used because of custom, etc. Some others more wise will say that it is the season of equal days and nights, therefore equl and nox, two words from -.ho latln meajning equal nights, and they are correct. There is a good deal more involved, however, which it is interesting to know fully to under stand all this. Several Kinds of Time Used. There are several kinds of time used in the world. Two are known as sidereal, or Btar time, the other as solar, or sun time. The earth revolves upon its axis, once around from sun to sun at any par ticular place and that is called a solar day. Once around from star to star again nd that is called a sidereal day. This . latter Is nearly four minutes shorter than the solar day, because the sun moves farther on during the 24 hours, in his yearly trip around the earth and the particular place in question, Portland, for instance, has to go a little farther to catch up to him to make it noon. We travel about 1000 miles per hour and so four minutes more time is considerable If paid for at the Western railroad rates. Now, this irregular, Bohemian disregard of public demands by the sun necessitates that we get some one else to do the work; we cannot keep pushing our clocks ahead every 24 hours and back also In order to get the exact time. A rubber hour is of no more use than a rubber yardstick is. We need a certain definite duration of time that will be as regular as our machine clocks. The stars are tha boys to da this, and it te sidereal time which Is the best time measurer. The next problem is to tlnd some place from which to start in order to figure. Every foot or horse race must have a starting point and in our 24-hour race we must have one, too. and it was decided tipon like this: Imagine the equator pushed out to the sky. it would make a circle upon the sky which would be tipped up at an angle of 23 degrees, 27'' 14" about from tho level. Next imagine that the path of the sun was pushed out to the sky, it would make a circle which would be level or horizontal. Where these two circles meet, is called the equinoctials. The two circles would meet in two places Just ISO degrees or one-half a circle apart. How Equinox Occurs. You can easily see that when tho sun is following its path, that for part of the ' year it would be on the lower side of the entended equator circle, and would shine on the lower half of the earth more than the uoper; this would be Winter time for us Northern folks; the other half of the time it would shine upon the north ern half of the earth, would be in the portion of Its path above the equator extended circle. At the two crossings of these circles the sun would be on both, neither above the equator nor below, that is, he would be. as is popularly call ed, "crossing the line." Coming up, or coming from the south to north, ho would be said to be in the Vernal Equinox; go ing down In the Kail he would be in the .Autumnal Kqumox. Now take notice that he shines upon the equator directly at these two points, his light reaches as far north as the Korth Pole and as far south as the South i"ole and on both sides to the edge of the earth; that is. his light covers half the earth as usuai, but with this differ nce: that because he does reach the two poles and because the earth Is turning constantly, all places upon the earth will be in the dark side as long as they are In the light side and therefore, "equi Jiox." This Is easier to see by taking a classroom globe and arranging it. This position of equinox has been cal culated by astronomers and ls used as the "mile post of the sky." When tho Bun's center Is directly on this crossing point it is said to be sidereal noon. Yes terday. March 21. at Portland, when it was 7 hours, 59 minutes, 7:42 P. M. nearly, the City of Portland was directly op posite this Vernal Kqulnox. In Green wich. England, when the sun is directly overhead at noon. it was just 52.58 seconds passed sidereal noon. The as tronomers were all glancing through telescopes and watching clocks, measur ing to nearby stars and plotting the ex act point of this Vernal ttquinox in the sky. so that it can he found at any time in order to keep exact account of the time. They must "tie-in" this- point even as a survey on earih "ties-in" corner takes for lots. Vernal Kquinox in Aries. The path of the sun around the earth Is known as the ecliptic, oecause it is only when the moon is in this plane that there are eclipses. On each side of this ecliptic there are cons-telllations of stars As the year passes away, the sun climbs from one of these star groups to another All these constellations are within eight degrees of the ecliptic on either side The Vernal Equinox is in the group known as Aries and the Autumnal Equi nox Is In IJbra. These two groups are part of what is called the Zodiac signs and have come down from antiquity with their names being thought by the ancients to have great bearing upon human affairs, and even at the present day foolish or misin formed people calling themselves astrolo gers, fortune-tellers and like names ac cept money for giving out information as to human affairs as "predicted by tho ars." Many of them, as I have found by personal questioning, did not even know the difference between a star, a planet or a constellation. Of course these are the worst in the business; but the tnoat dangerous ara the better educated ones and even they, could not pass a good examination In astro-physics. Another thine to be considered when spoaking about the Vernal Equinox is that from the time the sun's center passes it this year until it pnsses it next year, even this Vernal Equinox has moved to a certain extent; another illustration of the old truth in physical science that I there is no such thins; ae "absolute rest," and all motion Is relative. Because of the fact that the axis of the earth is turning all the time, the plane of the STTrtX ecliptic, of course, moves. Xorth Star Changes. The ecliptic being a cirle, it has 3B0 degrees, and this first point of Aries, or the Vernal Equinox, moves each year Just about 50.248 -seconds of arc per year, according to Newcomb, our great American astronomer.- This causes the north celestial pole to ex ecute a circle, upon the sky once in ( oei.v j.isuu. yearb; mat is, -wnat was our North Star 10.000 years ago is not the same as now. and in the future it will change again. Therefore, it can be seen that even the Vernal Equinox, our most important point, is not steady, is variable and the only point in the heavens from which to take our time ' is an imaginary one. Mankind has been casting Jibes at womankind all adown the centuries for variableness, , inconsistency and making those char- ! acteristlcs faults; whereas it Is the I most characteristic thing of Nature. ! No absolute rest exists but in abstract mathematics, and they are not inter esting. Woman is interesting because j sne is in motion, is according to Na ture and concrete. Uncle Sam Keeps Time.

Skilled men are always to be found with university degrees I as long ae your arm, won only after the accomplishment of marvelous tasks. On this coast Uncle Sam Bends out time signals from a little observatory down on theCalifornia coast through the Western Union wires, which set all the clocks upon their true bearings. The United States Hydrographlc of fices of the country, one here in the Portland Custom-House, have wonder fully exact chroncmeter.8 and time balls an-d a connection with the observato ries, from which the exact time can be obtained any day as nearly as ma chinery will give, subject to change because of heat and barometric pres sure changes only. But this is another phase of the question and must be left for anothe. occasion. ENTRIES FOR RAGE ALL IN GEXEllAIi 1MEKEST SHOWN MARATHON. IX Of 16 Kntries Made, Six Are Port land Men Track Is Duplicate of Kastern One in' Size. Sixteen of the best runners in the Northwest have entered the "Big" Oregon Marathon" to be run In the Oriental building. Friday, March 26. The contest haa brought some of the finest distance runners there are to Portland and has developed others. For this alone the race deserves credit. There is nothing better for civic pride than to be able to say, "Our men did this" or "our men won that." Something of the same feel ing that made Oregon watch three Oregon boys at the Olympjc games will make hundreds go out to the Oriental building to cheer on, perhaps to victory, the little coterie of Portland r.umuu-a..that will rep resent the city No less than six of the 16 entrants are Portland boys, either by adoption or by birth and the manner in which the crowd will rally round them should give one of them courage enough to lift the trophy The Portland representatives are: Fred Walby, Portland Y. M. C. A., ran second in the Seattle Marathon: A. Wallace and Harvey Belmont, both of tne local Y. M. C. A.; a. B. Knudson. unattached, a Portland barber, and A. R. Dorris, a recent addition to the ranks of the Multnomah Club. The Lincoln High School will have Norman Nash to root for and the plucky youngster will deserve all the rooting he gets. Canada will be represented by Burns, of Calgary, and Vanderlip. of Toronto. Seat tle by Harvey Donaldson, T. M. C A., and Walter Spangler, S. A. C. California sends J. C. Wright, of Los Angeles. Italy is represented by the diminutive Sisto, Norway by Birch, of Aberdeen, and the Army by "Soldier" Wilson, of Fort Casey. With these countries, states and cities so well represented, it will be hard if the race cannot produce something "worth while." The Marathon race received its impetus from the revival of the Olympic games at Athens in 1S96. In those games Loues plridon. a Maroussl peasant, finished the race along the course made famous by the battle of Marathon, starting on ' the plains of Marathon and finishing in the arena at Athens, a total distance of 26 miles yards. The whole history of the Marathon has been one of uncon querable grit. From the time when Pheidippides bore the news of the Athen ian victory at Marathon to Athens, the story of the Marathon has been told as symbolic of the supremest tests of en durance and determination. Pheidippides gave his life to carry the news, at such nervous tension did he run the course. Of him Browning wrote: So to end gloriously ; once to- shout, there after be jnute: "Athens is saved!" Pheidippides diea in ' in the shout for his meed. ENGLISH RACING BEGINS TWO BIG EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK. Whitney's Delirium Only American Entry- Billiard Champion- ship Other Sports.

In the presence of the Crown Prince and an immense throng of spectators, the American team, composed of Floyd MeFarland and 3ames Moran, finished winner of the six-day bicycle race at 10 o'clock'tonight and re ceived a -magnificent ovation the cheers of the crowd being mingled with the strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner." The Americans won by a full lap. The track measured 14 laps to the mils. Stol, of Holland, and Berthet, of France, fin ished second. The total distance cov ered was 2425 miles. 312 less than Me Farland and Moran made when they won the six-day race In New Tork in 1908. FIGHT GAME VERY DULL BAY CITY PRIZE RIXG FANS SEE LITTLE OF SPORT. Small Bouts Frequent, But Contests With Real Excitement Are Lacking. BY HARRY B. SMITH SAN FRANCISCO. March 21. (Special.) The fighting game will come to be a lost art, unless there is something stir ring very soon. Of course we have the small fights every month, but nothing in the way of excitement. Coffroth is evidently awaiting the ad- Wournment of the Legislature before springing anything. He doubtless fig ures that the less said about pugilism the better, until the solons get through legislating. And he la right. As far as the proposed Battling-Nelson-Dick Hyland match for May is concerned, -we are still in the dark.' Hyland has signed the articles, but no word has come from Nelson, although the Dane had plenty ' of time to reply, it he had been prompt in answering his correspondence. Very likely, he is looking to see it there Is anything better in sight. Sam Fitzpatrick, ex-manager of Jack Johnoon, at last reached San Francisco. He had little to say that had not already been told from the Northwest when he landed. If Fitz is sore at Johnson tor the throwdown, he is very cleverly concealing his feelings. He told us that he considered Johnson one of the great fighters of the age, a man fit to be compared to Peter Jack son. He also said he thought Johnson could beat Jeffries. A day later Fitzpatrick changed his mind about Jeffries, and gave out another interview in which he said tie thought Jeffries would beat the colored man. So you have your choice of the two opinlns. Maybe befre he leaves, Samuel will be sufficiently indignani at Johnson to roast hi3 former " tighter. First Game at Camas. The baseball season was formally opened at Camas yesterday, and to- the disappointment of the home fans, the Camas team was defeated by the Dil worth Derbies by the score of 7 to 6. Mayor Cowan, of Camas, pitched the first ball over the plate, and the Camas band dispensed music during the contest. Both teams played excellent ball considering the fact that it was the first game of the season. The Dilworth's used two bat teries. Streit and Marias and Engelke and McKinnon. while Camas depended upon Higgins and Heitsman. Teams desiring games with the Dilworth team are re quested to address J. F. Marias, 392 East Morrison street. Rosebuds Want Ball Games. The Rosebuds, a team composed of Junior baseball players, is desirous of arranging a series of games in the near future. This club plays Sundays only, and managers desiring a game are re quested to call Harvey Grayson, Wood lawn 1611. Pilot Rock 6; Pendleton 4. PENDLETON. Or.. March 21. (Spe cial.) Pilot Rock defeated Pendleton at baseball today by a score of 6 to 4. Pendleton had previously defeated Hermlston and Echo. OP TO JEFF N or.' Johnson Consents. to Sign Up for $50,000 Purse. CROWD HISSES PICTURES Sympathies All With Burns In Mov ing Pictures or Fight With Negro. Mcintosh Confident of Ar ranging Match Shortly. CHICAGO. March 21. (Special.) It took Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian fight promoter, only a few minutes to get tho consent of Jack Johnson, the heavy weight champion of the world, to fight James J. Jeffries, the retired champion of the world, for a purse of $50.0Ca. After a short conference here today Johnson expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the terms offered by Mc intosh. Mcintosh will return to New York tomorrow and says he Is confident he will be back here in a few days with jennes- signature to the articles. Mcintosh's offer is a purse of $50,000, to be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. Each man will be required to put up a forfeit of J6000 when he signs articles. Mcintosh served as the announcer of the boxing films which were shown at the Auditorium today. It was the uni versal opinion that Burns has not re ceived full justice in the descriptions of the match, due to a disparity In size. In the last three rounds, as Burns came up with his face smeared with blood, but always ready to do his share of the forcing, there were shouts of "Good boy. Tommy," and when Referee Mcintosh held up Johnson's hand after the police had signalled him to stop the bout, spec tators broke into a shower of hisses, despite the tact that Johnson was present. OREGOX PLAXS IXDOOR MEET Trainer Haywood Hopes to Get Line on Freshmen Material. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene March . 21. (Special.) Preparations are being made at the University for the college indoor meet, scheduled tor next Friday evening. Wrestling will be the main feature of the meet. Under the training of Joe La Salle, a number of efficient grapplers have been developed. The management has arranged eight matches. Different merchants in Eugene will furnish medals for the winners. Besides the wrestling events, there will be the short sprints, the high Jump, the pole vault and the shotput. A week - later the university will send a team of eight men to the Multnomah indoor meet, which takes place on April 3. Much care is being taken with the freshman material, as Bill Hayward de pends upon them to bring Oregon through another successful track season, since great depredations were made in the ranks of last year's champion team by men failing to return to college. On the first good day an, all-freshman track meet will be held to test the first year material. On May g a meet will be held between the freshmen of the university and teams from Portland, Salem and Albany preparatory schools. An offer has been made to the Portland schools to pay the expenses of 10 or 12 star track athletes to Eugene for this date. Lawton to Hold Race Meet. I LAWTON, Okla., March 21. Official an- nouncement was made here today of a track and race meet to be held here April 17 to 27, inclusive, which it ia he- lieved will attract between 300 and 500 head of the best racing horses on the Western turf, as well as some of the most prominent jockeys in the country. Skaters Lead by Six Inches. BUTTE, Mont.. March 21. The team of Schotz and Hardy, with the former skat ing, was six -Inches in the lead tonight at the end of the first night's contest in the six-day roller skating race. Schotz's work was marvelous, his distance for the hour's skating being 19 miles. Nelson Will Fight Britt. CHICAGO, March - M. Battling Nelson will fight Jimmy Britt in Australia some time next Fall, it was announced today by Hugh Mcintosh. The battle probably will be fought at Sydney. N. S. W. White Sox Rained Upon. SAN FRANCISCO, March 21. The baseball games between Chicago White Sox and Pacific Coast League teams were postponed today on account of rain. Mauretania Sets Xcw Record. LIVERPOOL, March 21. Ending at noon Friday the Cunard liner Mauretania set up a new record of 09 knots for a day's run eastward. PORTLAND UNIQUE AS BALL CEMTER Not Only Has Teams in Two Leagues, but Is Head quarters for Third. PLAYERS SOON IN ACTION Casey's Cubs Leave for Medford To- i night for Practice and Coast ! Season Will Open Week ' From Tomorrow. I BY W. J. PETRAIN. Portland now occupies a unioue nnm" tion-in the baseball world. In .addition to J being represented by two clubs in dif- ferent leagues, this city is also activelv ' interested in a third baseball organization, j is 10 oe tne headquarters of the newly organized Intermountain League. With a club in the Pacific Coast League as well as the Northwestern, and the headquarters of te latter organization centered here, the election or William H. Lucas to the head of the new circuit gives added prestige to Portland as a baseball center. McCredies White Sox will inaugurate the 1909 baseball season at Los Angeles one week from tomorrow, and Casev's uds will journey to Medford tonight I lu -e spring practice tomorrow. This means that the baseball players en rolled on the roster of the two Portland teams will soon be in action, and the hungry fans will come into their own. City Will Be In Limelight. . i The importance of Portland as a baseball town will attract considerable attention during the season. It means that the Eastern fans who read the baseball dailies and weeklies will speculate upon the fact that something like 35 baseball players will be drawing salary from the McCredies this season. It also means that the Portland clubs will have a heavy outlay for material and uniforms. The Northwestern League Club's road umforms are already hero. These uni forms will not be worn in the practice games, ht will be turned over to the players when they return from Medford on the way to- Seattle for the opening of the season. During the practice period the players will wear the old white uni forms of last season and some of the old uniforms discarded . by the Pacific Coast League team which is now using them at San Luis Obispo. Equipping one baseball team is not cal culated to ease one's peace of mind, for the players are usually very slow in send ing in their measurements, and to take care of two clubs naturally doubles the trouble. In addition to uniforms the club owners must secure a supply of bats, for each player requires about six or eight sticks from which to make his selection of two or three to be used by him alone during the season. I7se 100 Bats In Season. All players are more or less supersti tious about bats, and very few will permit another member of their team to use a particular stick to which he has taken a fancy. At this rate the McCredies figure on buying about 100 bats and possibly more. The players may not like the grain. me neit or the handle or something else which appears trifling to the average fan, yet is of great importance to the player. For instance, when a ballplayer breaks a bat with which he has been hitting the ball frequently, he almost despairs of securing another one of eaual merit. Some players will try over 25 bats during a season before they secure one mat suits their fancy. Another thing that bothers baseball managers considerably is transportation. As a rule the Portland club has fur nished single berths for each player, but frequently it is impossible to secure the required number and the managers must always be looking out for accomodations. A. good instance of the superstition that sometimes bothers managers occured last year when Tom Raftery was assigned to berth 13: He did not notice it until the next morning, and . on leaving the depot, a black cat crossed in front of him. Tom swore long and loudly, and pro claimed to Manager McCredie that the "jinks" were on him. As a matter of fact he failed to get a hit for seven straight games, and laid off for several days. FANDOM AT RANDOM NOT having a left handed pitcher en rolled for the Northwestern League Club, Judge W. W. McCredie has signed Pender, tho Vancouver Tri-City Leaguer, for a trial with Casey's team. Pender is an ambitious young fellow and is anxious to take a chance in a regular league. "Dolly" Gray, the Portland boy who made a splendid showing in the North western League as a fielder last season, and who is now coaching Columbia Uni versity, has signed with Bloomington of the Three Eye League for the coming season. If Gray can develope a batting eye, he will be a star some day. Catcher Harrigan, one of the young catchers to be tried out by Portland, writes from his home in Kansas that he is anxious to get into action. He in forms Judge McCredie that he does not care how many catchers he will have to buck for a job, for he says he will only have to work all the harder a"nd likes the prospect. Reports from 11 major league camps in dicate that but little benefit is accruing to the teams at the Spring workout camps. In nearly every instance rain and some times hail and sleet have interfered with the players to such an extent that only one or two days of the week sees any practice at all. Still some Easterners say Comtekey is foolish to make the long Cal ifornia trip. Mike Mitchell and Larry McLean are hitting the ball at a lively clip at the Cin cinnati training camp. One enthusiastic correspondent at the front has it that if they keep up their present lick the pen nant will be easy for the Reds. Well anyhow. Cincinnati is long overdue to win a pennant, so it does not hurt to specu late again. Latest style pumps at Rosenthal's. TBAVELEBS' GUIDE.
