THEY ARE EASILY MADE WITH ' '' . x GoochV Best 6,000 Grocers Sell ft Another Fan Contributes x His Version of Argument Msnley Fatk of Brainard, Neb., says he has the proper solution of fke infield fly question. His esti mate differs from those of both Mackey and Mason. Here's another contribution to the debate over the height of the infield fly "Babe' Ruth hit in Chicago on a certain day a week or so ago. M. L. Mackey "doped" it out that Ruth's fly went 833 feet in the air, when newspaper reports said the great home run slugger was able to run as far as second base before the ball was caught by Risberg. Cv Mason's figures give the hit a height of 208 fet plus. Mr. Folk's estimate, nnd he has the figures to prove it, too, is 416 feet plus.

In this' article Mr. M. L. Mackey stated that a ball knocked by Ruth and caught by Risberg rose to a height of 833 feet. In this statement Mr. Mackey made a grave -rror. The formula for failing bodies is: H equals GT2 divided by ?., in which H is the distance, G is a constant of 32.16 feet and T is the time. Using the same figures as Mr. Mackey used, we would have: H equals 3216x51.84 divided by 2, or 833 feet. But during the 7.2 seconds the ball was both ascend ing and tiescending.

MINUTE Earl Smith, former Rourke, is fairly burning up the American league with his hitting( His average up to Wednesday was .333. He failed to hit Wednesday after hitting safely in 12 consecutive games. In those dozen contests he got 22 hits in 48 times at bat for a percentage of .458. Smith is holding down thirdfor the Browns. v The American Legion is seeking an opponent for George Lamson for a fight at Fort Omaha Labor day. Joe Stangl has asked to be se lected. Which only goes to prove that Stangl is not only a promising young wrestler, but he is a brave man. Bert Rossiter and his Indian. Lamson, were in Omaha yesterday. According to the" former, the Walt hill pugilist is just starting to train again. . "Lamson weighs 195," said R ossiter. "He is feeling splendidly, he says, and he certainly looks well. He can use a lot of training, how ever, to get back into fighting trim. When he does he'll be ready to meet the best men in the game. His long sick spell has not materially hurt him, so far as-we can see." LITTLE HOPE FOR LABOR DAY BOUT FOR MAT TITLE Stecher Insists That Zbyszko Wrestle Caddock and Lewis First That Can't Be Done. Mat fans have been nursing a for lorn hope that Labor day would see a bout for the .world's wrestling title. But they need hope no longer. Jack Herman's offer of $30,000 to Stecher, Lewis or Caddock' to meet and defeat the great Polander, Stanislaus Zbyszko, is in no danger of being accepted just yet. Stecher says he's willing to meet the Polander. Then with-the grace of Alphonse and Gaston, he adds, "but Caddock and Lewis must meet him first." If Zbyszko is to meet all the op ponents, Stecher selects for him be fore he is entitled to match with the world's titleholder, the Giant Pole will die of old age before the Dodge phenom will meet him onthe mat. Stecher has no reasonable excuse for sidestepping a match wih Zbyszko. If Stecher is the champion he proclaims to be he should be ready to wrestle the Polander now. Zbyszko has met enough' wrestlers since his return to America to prove that he is the most worthy oppo nent Stecher can meet. Stecher's reluctance is hurting the wrestling game. J. A. S. Kauff Recalled. New York, Aug. IS. Benny Kauff, outfielder, and Bill Ryan, pitcher, were recalled by the New York Na tionals from Toronto, of the In ternational League. They will re port here at the end-of the Interna tional League season. Kauff went to Toronto in a trade for Vernon Spen cer, btrt'' the Giants reserved the option of recalling him. With the Pugn Chicago, III., Aug. 14. Sam Langford won a newspaper decision over Sam Mc-. Vey today at East Chicago, Ind., in a slow and uninteresting 10-round fight. The crowd booed McVey repeatedly be cause of his stalling tactics. Langford forced the fighting and was credited with' winning seven rounds. Many spectators left before the fight ended. Sandusky, - O., Aug. 14. Harry Greb, Pittsburgh light-heavy weight, won a newspaper deeitdyrn over Bob Moha of Mil waukee In a fast 10-round bout at Cedar Point today. ' Chicago, Aug. 14. A band and about 1,000 admirers greeted Jack Dcmpsey, hfovywelght champlor prize fighter, when he arrived today en route to Benton Har bor. Mich., for his fight Labor day with Hilly Mlske of St. Paul. He will leave tomorrow for Benton Harbor to complete his training. He said he was In good shape, needing only to "take off one or two pounds to be In perfect form." Ralph Brady of Syracuse and Billy De Foe of St. Paul, who were ordered out of the ring for stalling last Monday at Jersey City, did not receive any money from the cltlb. They may be suspended by the Jersey boxing commission. Eddie McGoorty, Wisconsin middle weight, scored a victory in London re cently against Jack Stanley. The bout was booked for 15 rounds, but Stanley claimed to have broken hia hand In the third and the contest was awarded to Eddie. Pete Herman, Bantamweight champion. and Roy Moore of Baltimore have been matched to box 13 rounds- at Colorado Springs on August 19. The match was transferred from Denver, where the mili tary authorities forbade it being stage! there on account of the street car strike situation. WHY?- s Is the Rabbit Connected With Easter? . (Copyright, 1920. By the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc. While the use of the egg as 'symbol-of resurrection can be traced to Christian teachings, tho connection between Easter and the rabbit goes back to ancient pagan times when the hare was the symbol for the moon, for it is the hare, rather than the "rab bit, which figures in the folk-lore" of many countries at Easter time. Hares", unlike rabbits, are born with their eyes open and it was for this reason that the name for hare in Egyptian was "un," mean ing "rfpen" and also "period" or "space of time." The moon was regarded as the open-eyed watch er of the skies and the hare, born with its eyes open, was believed never to close them. Because of this and also because of the double-meaning of the word "un," the hare became the sym bol of the moon and, later, was associated with the opening of the moon itself. In Germany the Easter hare is almost as important a figure in nursery circles as is the Christ mas St. Nicholas. Children are fold that, if they are good, a white hare will come . into the house on the night before Easter and hide numbers of gaily c ored ggs in various places- belief which, together with many of the other folk-tales of the continent, has been brought to America and accounts for the tens of thousands of artificial hares sold every year at Easter time.
