GET
PICTURES Of
PROTONS

= Protons, the actual hearts of
all atoms, have been made to
"sit" for their portraits by three
scientists at the Carnegie Insti-
tuition here.
Proper appreciation of this feat
is possible to the lay public when
it Is explained that one thousand
billion protonS laid end to end
would not form a line an inch
long.
They make up the core, the
nucleus, of atoms. Although they
weigh more than 1900 times as
much as an electron, the other
part of atoms. they are one thou
sand times smaller than the cleo
irons.
Hold Natures Secret
And, of course, electrons are so
small that the human eye, Itself
made up of billions of billions
of atoms, could never possibly
see them with the aid of the
most powerful magnifying instru-
ments.
But the scientists at Carnegie
Institution now have several
hundred pictures of protons. In
some of the pictures the protonS
trace visible paths more than an
inch and a half long. These tiny
Streaks are expected to yield
immensely valuable information
to physicists.
Some of this information could
lead to great industrial and
social changes. Locked in the
atom. and especially in the pro-
tons. is the secret of an energy
production that, once revealed.
would enable a whole Nation to
obtain heat, light, and power
sufficient for year from a ton
of coal, or even sand.
Light StreakS Made
The investigators rigged an
apparatus that utilizes protons
knocked out of lithium bombarded
by 50-volt electrons. These pro-
tons then were shot into a special
gas vacuum chamber by a
1000, ,000-volt cathode tube. In
the tube, the high-speed protons
managed to crash through bill
lions of atoms and electrons be-
fore coming to rest. While
ploughing through the mass of
other atoms and electronS, the
protons caused feeble streaks of
light to register on Photographic
plates.

GIANT GRAPPLER
HERE THURSDAY

The man mountain of wrestlers,
Leo Pinetzki, will make his debut
in Washington Thursday night
when he engages the rugged Don
De Laun in a special match on
Promoter Joe Turner's card at
the washington Auditorium.
The giant Polish grappler
towers 6 feet 8 inches into the
sky and carries 286 pounds of
beef. Though tall and heavy,
he is by no means fat, because
his huge frame takes care of his
286 pounds. His long arms reach
nearly to his knee caps, and long
arms are vital to wrestler.
Pinetzki has been in this coun-
try less than two months, but is
fast becoming acclimated to con-
ditionS here.
The balance of the card
promises action of Superlative
brand. There will be a double
feature, with one bout to present
Herby Freeman and Ray Steele
and Sander Szabo facing Jim
Corrigan in the other. Rudy
Dusek engages Cy Williams and
doc" Wilson tangles with Ben
ME GinSberg.

This pair could go at it ham
mer and tongue for hours with
out getting the least bit tired. Al
ways the topic was the best hit
ting pitcher on the club.
Jones held the upper hand in
the argument until Marberry
socked out a home run one
bright day at st. Louis.
Jones never heard the end of
this. Marberry sank it deep"
on every occasion in the friendly
word-battle between the two.
Sam Had Alibi
Jones had an alibi, however
He contended that anybody could
hit a home run in the miniature
St. Louis park, and that Mar
berry's hit was only looper,
which would have been an easy
out at Griffith Stadium.
This brought vigorous protests
from Marberry. Finally, Fred
agreed to "bat it out" with Jones
in the small Detroit park, their
next stop.
The distance between home
plate and left field in Detroit is
about the same as that in ST..
Louis. Jones' idea to settle the
argument in Detroit was mutually
satisfactory. .s&
The first day in Detroit found
Jones and Marberry out early for
the pre-game batting drill. To
add a little incentive to the thing,
they both agreed to put up a
couple Of dollars on the side, the
performer hitting the ball over
the short leftfield fence getting
the dough.
Jackie Hayes held the bets.
Al Schacht took the mound.
Marberry took first rap and tried
to "hit it out Of the park. Then
Jones toed the plate. Neither
were able to give the ball a ride.
Hayes Takes Turn
When it came time for the
regulars to hit, Jackie Hayes
asked that he, as the bet holder,
be allowed to take a sock at the
ball.
Marberry and Jones exhausted,
readily agreed, giving him per-
mission to keep the money if he
hit the ball over the wall himself.
Hayes, never known as slug
ger, took his stance at the plate.
On the first pitch he connected
Sohdly. The ball, going like a
shot, hit the top of the wall and
dropped on the other side, as if
Ruth, Gehrig or Klein had hit it.
Marberry and Jones fell on
the ground in confusion. Hayes
went through the remainder of
the day with his head up for
beating a pair of would-be batters
at their own game.
Marberry and Jones never did
wager on a home run argument
after that. At least not with
Hayes as the stake holder.

Bat was supposed to make the
featherweight limit of 1876 pounds
yesterday for his scheduled Is
round bout with Lew Feldman,
Brooklyn contender, at Madison
Square Garden. When he
weighed in at 934 pounds above
that figure he automatically for
feited his title and the bout was
called off. 1t was the first time
in history that the Garden had
failed to stage a scheduled indoor
show.
Feldman's claim for the title,
made Immediately by his man
ager, was ignored by the New
York Boxing Commission and
probably will be rejected by the
board at it's meeting next Tues
day
Garden Plans Tourney
Today Madison Square Garden
proceeded with plans for an elimi-
nation tournament to determine
Battalino's successor. Contenders
available include Feldman, Kid
Chocolate, Fidel la Barba, Earl
Mastro and Freddie Miller.
Battalino's managers, clinging
to the old fistic axiom that titles
are won or lost only in the ring,
insisted today that their man is
still champion. They declare Bat
will be able to make 1875 pounds
when he fights Miller in Hartford,
Conn, on January 26.
The National Boxing Associa-
ton, of which Connecticut is a
member, sides with the champion.
Bat weighed less than 126 pounds
for his bout with MaStro in Chi
cago on November 4 last and does
not have to make another defense
of his title until next May 4 to

N. B. A. To Take Hold
Gen. John V. Clinnni, president
of the N. B. A., said in Chicago
however, that if Battalino volun
tarily relinquishes his title, the
N. B. A. would stage an elimina.

ton to the proposed tournament
in New York and would result III
another squabble between the
New York commission and the
N. B. A., which already recognize
different champions in the fly

MONDAY
BY GARRETT WATERS

An important addition will
fight it out in track, both in
indoor and outdoor meets, among
the local scholastic teams this
year.
This latest entry to the run
and jump game Is Western High,
which plans a pretentious track
campaign now that an athletic
field is part of its sports assets.
Dan Ahern, who will direct this
branch Of athletics, is terribly en-
thuSiaStic over prospects and con-
ditions at this time. Says Ahern:
eyes sir, we've gOG an athletic
field at last, and we're going to
have a track team. I don't know
how good i''ll be, but Western
will be represented in every
meet, don't forget tkat."
Inauguration of track and the
realization of owning a fold all
their own, is really something
new and fascinating at Western.
Coaches, athletes and students
alike don't know how to take it
as yet, but they're interested
aplenty. Also they're very anxious
to see the results of future efforts.
Capable Collection
A fairly capable collection OF
men, who know something about
track, and who want to show their
wares, are at school right this
minute. Ahern plans giving every
youngster interested his chance.
Included among those who have
had a bit of experience and who
expect to show Ahern they can
run. jump or throw things, are:
Beers, :. hurdler, broad jumper and
high jumper; Pond, quarter
miller; Sholtes, a half miller, and
De Stephen, a Sprinter.
A bulky collection of candidates
are expected to report when
Ahern issues his first call next
Monday. It'll be the start of track
real track, for the first time
at Western, and all involved will
work and bide time for the spring
months when they can dance
about on the new athletic field
adjoining the school.
