What Batsman Hutton had done, no Britisher had ever done before: in the fifth and last Test match with Australia he had scored 364 runs in one innings-and this at a time when English cricket seemed deader than "The Ashes" for which they were playing.-* The new record for the Anglo-Australian series was 30 runs better than the record set in 1930 by Australia's famed Don Bradman. It was even better than the record for all international cricket: 336 (against New Zealand), set in 1933 by Britain's famed Wally Hammond...
...meetings of the overlords went U. S. baseball manufacturers to discuss balls of varying degrees of deadness, which had been tried out last season. The National League, which thought the American League was bound to follow its choice, forthwith voted to adopt the No. 4 ball, one degree deader than the ball used last year, on the theory that a deader ball would curtail the American League's superior batting. But the American League, thinking of the large gate receipts produced by its slugfests with the lively ball, used by both leagues since 1934, voted to retain the "rabbit...
...made a serious issue of the Klan.

The stumps are either pulled by large wallowing machines or dynamited, depending on the soil and the quality of the stumps. Hercules, which makes dynamite, generally pulls its stumps. Newport, which makes no dynamite, generally blasts them. The stumps are then shredded and steamed. Turpentine and some pine oil are the first distillates, and the residue is treated under pressure with gasoline to extract the rosin and pine...
...four rich Chinese provinces. No sanctions were imposed to stop bloodshed between Bolivia and Paraguay. Though the League's own charter or Covenant is part of the Treaty of Versailles, the League played dead when Adolf Hitler violated the Treaty's military clauses (TIME, March 25), played deader when Britain and Germany united in tearing up its naval clauses (TIME, June 24). But last week, the Mediterranean having been filled with British war boats, the League sprang to life against Italy at the resurrecting torch of Might...
