...leave with regret but without personal malice toward anyone," declared Dr. Walter Scott Athearn after Butler University's trustees had ousted him from its presidency last autumn (TIME. Nov. 13). Last week in Indianapolis, charging the dismissal had injured his reputation, Dr. Athearn filed suit against Butler for $100,000 damages...
...late there has been talk of a third isotope of hydrogen whose atomic weight should be approximately 3 as against deuterium's 2 and hydrogen's 1. Two members of Dean Lewis's staff reported finding it last autumn (TIME, Nov. 20). But they used the same magneto-optic method by which Professor Allison predicted deuterium, and among scientists the worth of this procedure is debatable. In England Lord Rutherford (who calls deuterium diplogen and its nucleus the diplon) bounced deutons against deutons. Each collision produced a proton and something new of atomic weight 3. But cautious...
...teams which had been training in Florida, California, Louisiana and Mississippi since early March, had started north, playing exhibition games on the way. The season was scheduled to begin April 16, at Washington, with President Roosevelt as a spectator.

He and his men lost two games in a row to the Athletics, generally dismantled last autumn because they failed to make money.

Apparent tail-ender in the American League, this year as last, are the St. Louis...
...shortstop, Don Heffner and Red Rolfe, who last week seemed likely to be regulars this season. Heffner is a young Baltimorean who last year fielded brilliantly and had a batting average of .293 with the Baltimore Orioles. His main worry is his weight, 155-lb.; to increase it last autumn he drank a quart of cream every day. Robert Abiel Rolfe comes from Penacook, N. H., graduated from Dartmouth in 1931, batted .326 for Newark last year, when he was voted most valuable player in the International League. Redhaired, ruddy-faced, his stance in the infield is characterized...
