How the Pyramids Were Built Theory of sand embankments and rollers
Engineering Magazine discusses a theory for pyramid construction. It suggests a sand embankment created gentle slopes to roll stones into place, avoiding lifting. Once the course neared completion work on removing the sand embankment would begin. The idea implies a vast labor force, with estimates of 100000 workers for 20 years for the Cheops pyramid, though the quarry lay about 100000 feet away.

Unique base running puzzle stirs Pacific Coast League
In a Pacific Coast League game a runner on first was put on second by a walk when the catcher attempted a play on a stolen fourth ball. He was tagged after advancing over the bag, but umpire McGreevy ruled him safe arguing the runner could return to second since the second base was missed. Opinions varied on whether the runner could be retired after slipping. Tonapire Tornan held the ball in play and ruled the runner not advanced beyond second. Artie Hofman known as Papa Hofman was quoted amid fan banter about the play and the incident involved a girl arriving at the scene.
