...score the first run until the fifth. Tom Cavanaugh led off the inning with a single into short center and was advanced to second on Godin's sacrifice bunt. He moved on to third on Foynes' infield out and then scored as Jim Porter mishandled Johnny White's smash to short...
...outs, Blaik doubled, and advanced to third on pinch-hitter Mackmull's infield out. Leadoff batter Stuff then caught one of Godin's fast balls on the nose, and it looked like the game would be tied until Huntington leaped high in the air and pulled down the smash. he stepped on third for the final out of the game...
Died. Kurt Weill, 50, German-born composer of topflight musicals (Lady in the Dark, One Touch of Venus), who collaborated with Playwright Maxwell Anderson on the current Broadway smash hit, Lost in the Stars; of heart trouble; in Manhattan...
...project is to find out what happens when two protons slam together. At energies hitherto available, nothing much happens; the protons behave as if they were indestructible. But no physicist would care to bet on it-consid ering past surprises. Columbia's cyclotron may prove powerful enough to smash protons to bits and reveal a whole new level of sub-atomic structure...
...Californians knew that the alpha particles would have to move at just the right speed. If they moved too slowly, they would bounce off the curium nuclei. If they moved too fast, they would smash the more fragile nuclei. So the scientists adjusted their old reliable 60-inch cyclotron until it emitted alpha particles with 35 million electron volts of energy. This is not high power by modern standards (see above), but it did the trick. The alpha particles entered the curium nuclei and some of them stayed there, turning the curium into Element...
