We present a study of differential two jet ratios in multi-hadronic fi
nal states produced by e(+)e(-) annihilation in the AMY detector at TR
ISTAN. The data are compared to the predictions of the next-to-leading
logarithm parton-shower (NLL PS) Monte Carlo and the O(alpha(s)(2)) m
atrix element QCD models. We determine the strong coupling strength al
pha(s)(57.3 GeV) = 0.130 +/- 0.006.
