The "youth must be served"
adage is exemplified in base
ball as much and as often as
In any other sport, probably,
but the old-timers in tha na
tional pastime gave the young
sters a whale of a battle for
top honors in 10.10. Especially
in the art of bending the horse-
hide past gents at the plate
who would like to knock down
the fences.
Take ancient Robert Moses
(Lefty) Grove, for example. Of
ficial American league flinging
averages released yesterday
show that the Boston Red Sox
soupcr came up with an earned
run figure of 2.S4 in 23 games.
This is a very, very fine ERA;
In fact, it topped every regu
lar hurler in the loop.
Incidentally, this was t he
ninth time Grove has led his
league in earned-run average,
and to make it a banner season
he finished fourth among all
pitchers in won and lost aver
age, with 15 victories and only
four defeats. That is a grand
record for a fellow who has
been hanging around the ma
jors since 1923.
Ted Lyons, the White Sox
veteran who seems ageless, was
also right up. there among the
elit His earned-run average
was a nifty 2.76, fourth best
in the loop, and he chalked up
14 wins and six losses to fin
ish high in the won-lost per
centages. Of course the young fel
lows had their great seasons,
too, with Cleveland's fir.
balllng Bobby Feller hanging
up 24 wins against nine set
backs and allowing only 2.85
rned runs per nine Innings
to rank filth in the latter re
spect. His 24 victories led
the circuit, although New
York's Steve Sundra had the
best won-lost mark, with 11
conquests to one defeat.

Sea Biscuit 'Right' Again;
Races 3-8 in 34.1 Seconds
Los Angeles, Dec. 20. OP) There's additional Joy In tha
Charles S. Howard stable. The mighty Seabiscuit, it appears. Is
"right" again,
The 'Biscuit, in his first public
workout In months, gave the
dockers a thrill yesterday af
ternoon when he traveled 38
of a mile in 34.1 seconds and
finished out a half under re
straint in 48 seconds.
Many stables would be joyful
enough if they had Kayak II,
Howard's winner last year of
the $100,000 Santa Anita handi
cap and an outstanding candi
date to repeat. He proved his
fitness yesterday by turning six
furlongs in 1:12.
But It was Seabiscuit's perfor
mance which pleased Tom
Smith, his veteran trainer. It
was his first speed test since
he went lame last Feb. 14 and
he would up sound. Smith hopes
the 'Biscuit can come back to
win the "hundred grander" a
feat such notables as Equipose
and Cavalcade tried without
success.
The Howard Star robbed
twice of victory in the handi
cap by margins of a nose is
some $37,000 short of Sun
Beau's all-time money wining
mark of $376,744. Rosemont
kept the 'Biscuit from being his
tory's biggest purse winner in
1837 and Stagehand with a 30
pound advantage turned the
trick in 1938. Last March his
lameness kept Seabiscuit in the
bark while Kayak went on to
I win.
If he enters next year's re
newal, Seabiscuit will be top
weighted at 130 pounds, com
pared with Kayak's 129 and
128 for W. L. Brann's Mary,

ATTACK CANCER
Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) The
most powerful forces known to
science are undergoing experi
ments in the radiation labora
tory of the University of Cali
fornia in an effort to find a
cure for cancer.
This new attack on the dread
malady is being carried on by ;
Dr. Margaret Lewis, research !
fellow in the laboratory, and !
Dr. Warren Lewis of the Car-;
negie institute in Washington, j
Their findings are being re
ported to and checked by Dr. j
Ernest O. Lawrence, director of j
the laboratory, recent Nohol
prize winner, and inventor of :
tne cyclotron, which through :
the breaking of atoms releases
a degree of energy that proves
them to be the most powerful
forces in the world.
To date, cancer treatment has
met with its greatest success in
tne use of radium and X-rays.
ExDeriments. however, havp
demonstrated that the neutron
rav. which is formed when
Lawrence s cyclotron breaks up
an atom and releases an energy I
hitherto undreamed of, consti-;
tutes the most powerful radia
tion ray known.
