Internal Heat Of planets,

The late Professor Lowell's discov-

by Professor Very, the friction Of lay

Willie Toney was trying worlds
record, Jim Vaughn was helping him
set n new one by pitching nine hitless
innings in the same game, the first
time in baseball that two clubs have
gone along 10 half innings without q
hit.
Considering that all {! these records
were made in cold weather, under
climatic conditions unsuitable for ex-
traordinary pitching, what is to be ex-
pected when warmer bieezes come
along to comb out the knotc in the
