icance of the Term
"Equinox."

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.

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.

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.

Mcintosh Confident of Ar

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

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.

Reports from 11 major league camps in

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
