SPORTS BY JOVE Funds To Send Conch Five T° Today In History District Tournament Raised Glee Club ‘Teiiean Makes It Possible; Key West Meets Bean Pickers Fri- day, Growers Saturday Coach P. D. Huddleston an- nounced that funds have been raised to send the High Sehool Conchs to the District Tourna- ment at Miami Beach Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Funds from the Glee Club treasury have made it possible for the squad to take the trip. The Conehs are entered in the B class this year and would eas- ily win this division, if it were not for the fact that Homestead, which should have entered the A class, is also in the same division. Horrestead has cleaned up on the East Coast teams. The Conchs are going to have one tough struggle Saturday morning at 10:30, when they meet the Growers. The lecal maroon and gray are in very good condition and have been improving all season. De-} veloping Schoneck and Pinder as Stars, the squad is powerful throughout, with the veterans of Woodson and Lopez at guards and Lewin who always turns in good games, but is in and out on scoring. The first game Key West wil: play will be on Frdiay against Pompano, Key West having lost once and won the last time with this team. The game will be a tough one, and the Conchs need not expect to take honors easily, but should beat the Bean Pickers. FOLLOWING THROUG Seeesssessseees Spring Training Here— Baseball spring training has be- gun and players are reporting at the camps. At Tampa with the Cincinnati Reds, in the first group were Lefty Grissom and his brother, Marvin, also a pitcher; Alex Kam- puris, second-baseman; Joe Cas- carella, Warren Giles, general- manager; Gabriel Paul, director of publicity; Dr. Richard Rohde club physician, and trainer, Larry McManus. Manager Bill MeKeeh- nie arrived Monday. Hank Gow- dy, coach, and the rest of the catchers and pitchers arrived with the manager. At Bradenton, Casey Stengel arrived with the initial party, which included Lefty Deir and Mike Balas, pitchers; Andrews, cateher; McLeod, outfielder, and Walsh and Fletcher, infielders. The rest of the players will arrive on March 6. At Hot Springs, Manager Terry arrived with all his players but | Castleman.

Cyril Griffin was out Sunday and just itching to get into the game. and as quick as his hand heels he will be seen in action again. -Puby Carbonell, Fred Carbonell, Joe Casa, Salin- ero, Marvin Griffin, Baker and other players are getting in shape to return to the national pas- time. . ‘The writer hopes that they will be out as soon as possible to make the three clubs as even as ean be. ‘ THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ” GIVES LUCID EXPLANATION ON SMASHING THE ATOM One of the happiest golfers in town is our old friend, Mr. Wil- liam Pious Watkins, on account. of Mr. Winsome Willie made a 39 on one round. It seems that Mr. Willie started out like a champ and kept it up. He had a score of 554 454 354 for 39, which is five pars and four bogies. Mr. Willie had Mr. Plummer along and a 47-42 score to help, which was a lot on account of they got a tie score with Mr. Cookie Mesa and 46-48 strokes and Mr. Russell Kerr, who made 40-40. Maybe the reason Mr. Willie made such a good score was on account of his new hat. . .at least, a lot of guys said that was the reason. If true, you will see a lot of those hats blooming forth now in a few weeks. Now. Mr. Byel— The other day Mr. Old Bye, Duke of Roek Sound, said he was off his game and did not know what was the matters. He had a 92 but says he ought to be a lot betterthan that, to which our genial Postmaster merely looked very troubled. And some of Mr. Old Bye’s friends, such as Hand- some Horace and Leftenant Mac, do -not know how Mr. Old Bye can do such things in this world Salas-Kemp Combination Whipped— Mr. Tkey Parks ably took the place of Mr. Hurricane Strunk, and had Mr. Johnny Jumpin Kirschenbaum for a partner, and they -wen three-up from Mr. Charlie Salas and Doc William Penababe Kemp and to Mr. Ikey that is.a very nice sensation, that of being on the winning side against Mr. Salas. It seems that Mr. Ikey got a 36 on the back nine by missing an easy par on the 6th and 7th but came through - with a birdie on the 9th, all of which is doggone good golf. Un- der those conditions Doe was will- img to lose. Mr. Kirsehy was right up among the prophets, too, with 42-41. Brains and Brawn Beats Wind and Measure— Last Saturday, Mr. Hurricane Strunk met Mr. Ned McCarthy and they got up an agreement whereby they would play Profes- sor O’Bryant and Mr. A. L. West but they forgot te figure im the facet that Mr. Obie had been lying in Wait for just such an agree. ment. In a game of bing, bang and bungle (some of Ned McCar- thy’s imaginative mind) the Lieu- tenant was left out in the cold, cold world and the honors went to Mr. Hurricane Eddie. In the match the team of brains and brawn against the team of wind and measure, the former won by 10 to 6 and the latter have not yet figured that out but why should they? Make Caddies =: Cultured— Del Monte, Calif—Peter Hay. who has served as golf profesion- al at this resort for more than a quarter century, has introduced a course in social culture for cad- dies to teach them manners and English.

JOHN ALLAN LONG Registered ARCHITECT State of Florida William at Fleming Street —PHONE 80— PIRATES COVE FAMOUS FISHING CAMP On Oversea Highway. 20 Miles From Key West By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editar What does it mean to smash an atom? z It means opening a reésefvoir containing 99 per cent of all the matter in the universe. It means something you can see with your own eyes. Atoms smash when they are hit by the right kind of projectiles. Both the projectile and the exnle- sien can be seen in trails of vapor inside a cloud chamber—and air- tight tank containing moisture under expansion. In 1919 the late Lord Ruther- ford discovered the first projec- tiles and saw the first smash. The projectiles were some of the rays of radium. This element, radium, gives off three kinds of rays— gamma er short-wave light, and twe kinds of particles. Projectiles Teo Small Only the particles could hit and smash an atom. But these Particles are so small that even in a dense substance like lead, they seldom make a hit. Se the scientific world looked around for better projectiles. Vaeum, tubes and high-powered electric energies were their tools. With these they have made new Projectiles, most in the last 10 years. The new ones are not es- sentially different from the origi- nals seen by Lord Rutherford. They are all fractions of atoms. either electrons, the heavy cen- ters of hydrogen atoms, known as protons and deuterons; or neu- trons, heavy particles with no electric charge. These machine-made particles had two advantages. More could be made. They were millions of volts more powerful than radium‘s particles. They made more hits and they smashed atoms more thoroughly. Then nature furnished a third source, more powerful than any- thing man has invented—projec- tiles that run up to fifteen billion volts each. These are the parti- cles that come from cosmic rays. They, too, can be seen in cloud chambers. They, too, are only the old familiar pieces of atoms. Just An Arrangement The similarity of all these par- ticles was the first great answer to what it means to smash an atom. All known substances, when their atoms were smashed, prov- ed to be made of exactly the same fundamental particles. This showed the universe really is constructed of a few (to date only 4 are known) fundamental particles. Gold differs from oxy- gen, er any ether substance, only in the arrangement of the parti- cles forming its atoms. Next it was found that smash- ing the atom meant. breaking its nueleus, or center. In this center is 989 per cent of all the atom's weight. Man’s chemistry and all | his_other inventions never had touched anything but the ex- teriors of atoms, the superficial one per cent of their substance. The first practical result came quickly. It was real alchemy The | Particles of smashed atoms imme- diately come together again, and sometimes make a different kind of atom. Platinum atoms, for ex- ample, changed to gold. That was not useful because too few could be changed with available elec- trical energy. Creating New Species But many substances changed into new kinds of radio-active matter, something that acted like radium, but was sometimes differ- ent. These new forms of radio ac- | tivity are undergoing practical medical experiments. { Gerieticists discovered they could create new species of ani- mals and plants by use of the non- material rays given off by smash- ed particles. This gave one clue to the mechanisms of evolution. In the little hard knots forming , the atomic nucleus are energies | supassing the dreams of Atlas. | There is a force of attraction esti- mated at one million times gravi- | ation. Particles from the smashed ! atoms come out with energies that | would dwarf dynamite, but no sci- | entist has been able even to pre- | dict how these energies can be. used. wid | Rome’s 1941 exposition cover about 988 acres.
