What they pulled down in the
Washingtou Ball Park recently
must have been slightly • different
sand a lot more interesting. As part
of the' celebration of the American
League's fiftieth anniversary they
staged a recreation of that unfor-
gettable twelfth inning of the final
game in the World's Series between
the New York Giants and the
Washington Senators back in 1927.
'Viet was the time when a pebble
in the infield caused a grounder to
bounce over Thirdbaseman Freddie
1,indstrom's head, turning what ap-
Veared to be an easy oat into a
base knock, and giving Bucky Har-
ris's Senators a 1 -to --i victory, and
the Series.
-'resent in.uniform, and occupying
their regular positions were no less
than nine of John McGraw's reg-
ulars who suffered that stunning up-
set way back then—,and, Mani,
how they did suffer. On first base
was Bill Terry, Frankie Frisch,
the Fordham Flash, was at second.
Travis Jackson was at short. Lind-
strom again at third. Hank Gowdy
l.ehind the plate. On the mound
was Jack Bentley—who had been
McGraw's fourth and final heaver
that day 27 years ago. And pa-
trolling the outfield were Billy
Southworth, George l elly,better
known as "High 7'r, kets". and
Irish Memel.

With tierce two arch comedians

Schacht, on the coaching lines,
the memorable twelfth inning open-

the late Frank Miller, grounding
out to second base. The script
galled for it and Ossie did his part
perfectly. But Frankie Frisch, no

Taste Delicious.
How would you like a nice
nourishing dish of curried worms
in gravy?
Verdict of two students from the
Australian Institute of Anatomy
who tried this delectable recipe
was that it tasted rather like pork
and was quite digestible.
The worms they used were Aus-
tralian giant worms which some-
times grow to a length of eight
feet and a width of three inches.
They live in the marshy land of
the Bass Bailey known as Gipps.

est worms in the world.

ordinary earthworm such as we see
in the garden is regarded as a tasty
and nourishing food. Iii New

the Belgian Congo they are collect-

Each member of the tribe helps
himself to handfuls of the wriggl-

chews them with evident relish.
In Cnina fried worms are eaten
as a medicine and are said to pure
bad eyesight, skin diseases and
rickets. Mcdicel linen say they pro-
bably Ido, too, for they contain
plenty of Vitamin D, and the oil in
which they are fried is rich in
(Ater healing vitamins.
Apology for a Brain

Irish) Republic
Turns To Peat
As coal supplies available:;Y to
the Republic of Ireland continue
to dwindle, Irish authorities are
turning more and more to the use
of peat, or "brown coals' to sup-
plement the country's fuel.
Villages of huts have sprung tip
on the bogs to accommodate work-
ers who are often miles away from
the nearest centers. There are
ho=cels where they can get food
at reasonable prices, and provision
is made for dances and other en-
tertainment.
The number of turf workers
now well over 5,000—is being in-
creased by an interesting plan. Vol-
unteers have now been called for
to spend their- holidays working on
the bogs.
Although there is a good deal
of machine -cutting, the most skilled
workers on the bogs are those who
wield the "slane"—a cross between
a spade and a lance. 'With three
dexterous strokes the "slaneman"
cuts out his sod, like a slab of
dark -colored chocolate• This is soft
and sticky. It is tossed over the
slanesnian's shoulder to be caught
or picked up by the "footer," who
builds these blocks into little heaps
so that the air will dry then.
A turf cutter in action is a choice
sight. He is like a grocer's assistant
digging out butter from a slab and
slapping it into shape. But the
footer has to work with him and
see that the sods are neatly arratt`'
ed, not tossed in crumbling heaps"

Atom Bomb Victims,
Closely Studied
The atom bombs fell on the Japa-
nese cities of Hiroshima and Naga-
saki six years ago last week. As a
result the people of these cities may
be the most carefully examined
.,people in the world .from a medical
point of view.
The Atomic Bomb Casualty
Commission was set up in 1947
to provide a continuing study of
the effects of radation on the popu-
lation of the two cities. America
and Japanese scientists will. spend
$1,300,000 in the current fiscal year
on the program, which is operated
by the National Research Council.
Every baby born there is exam-
inated at birth. Close to 10 per cent
of the population of. Hiroshima and
Nagasaki have a complete annual
physical examination. Local doctors
have been alerted to report to the
commission any suspicious or un-
usual ailments which they observe.
So far, according to the Atomic
Energy Commission, a "very real"
increase in the incidence of leuke-
mia, a forum of cancer in the blood,
has been detected. Only thirty
leukemia cases have developed. But
there is a definite relationship,
within a radius of about a mile and
a half front where the bomb drop-
ped, in Hiroshima, between leuke-
mia and exposure to the burst.
Cataracts have developed in the
eyes of .10 per cent of those who
were within three-fourths of a mile
from ground zero, This is about
ten times the normal cataract rate
in urban Japan.
Additional studies are being made
of the rate of growth of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki's children, of the de-
velopment of cancer and sterility
and of the incidence of congenital
malformations.

Clock Lives On Air
Closest approach to the scien-
tist's dream of perpetual notion has
appeared from the laboratories of
Switzerland—a clock which ''li,'es
on air."
The only energy on which it de-
pends is slight changes in the tem-
perature of the air. The actual
mechanism includes a chemical
body, ether chlorine, which is
sealed hermetically in a strong me-
tal drum. Within the drum, im-
mersed in the chemical, is a cir-
cular bellows. A. change in tem-
perature causes vapour expansion
or contraction in the chemical
which exerts or relieves pressure
an the, bellows in the drum. Within
the bellows is a powerful spring.
When the temperature of the
room rises, the chlorine -saturated
vapour expands and compresses the
bellows -like accordion. This action
is transmitted to the small chain in-
side the bellows, one end of which
is attached to the barrel of the
clock xnovennent, around which it
it winds itself by means of a small
spring• which'keeps it taut. It is this
action of the chain on the barrel
which winds the clock.
