f Beavers Take Pads To Stay In Second The Portland Beavers de feated San Diego 6-2 Monday night in the first contest of a four - game Pacific Coast league series and capped the scoring with a three-run homer. Jack Littrell belted his 12th home run of the season in the eighth inning when the Beav ers were leading 3-2. The win left Portland in second place, one game behind league lead ing Sacramento. Marty Kutyna pitched a four-hitter in recording his 10th win versus eight defeats. Padre starter Carl Thomas took the loss, his fourth in seven appearances. Loaded Bases Portland loaded the bases with no outs in the first in ning on hits by Milt Graff, Clarence Moore and Dave Melton. Then Thomas hit Jim New Theory Says Heavens Are Hot Rather Than Cold Cambridge, Mass.-(Science Service)-The heavens are hot, not cold aj has been supposed. This theory is proposed by Prof. Thomas Gold of Har vard university here and Prof. Fred Hoyle of Cambridge uni versity. England. Their idea of a "hot universe" comple ments the steady-state hypoth esis for the origin of the uni- 1 .. XJ . 3AL. verse, tney suggested, wim Hermann Bondi of London, several years ago. According to the steady-state theory, matter is being formed con tinually, and the universe has always looked and always will look as it does now. The hoi universe theory ex plains some puzzles, such as the origin of cosmic rays, and of galaxies and the bright ra dio "halo" that surrounds them. The two astronomers discuss theL- theory in the "Paris Symposium on Radio Astronomy," published by Stanford University Press. Scattered Islands Galaxies are great scattered islands of millions of stars. The Milky Way in which the sun and its planets, including earth, are located is only one of millions of such giant groups of stars. Galaxies hur tle thousands of miles a sec ond through space filled with a tenuous hydrogen gas. The hydrogen atoms of this gas in intergalactic space may have temperatures up to 100 mil lion degrees, Profs. Hoyle and Gold suggest. Their theory does not mean that an intergalactic space traveler who puts his arm out the window would be burned; Lis arm would freeze. This is because the hydrogen atoms, ithnnsh thev have an aver age temperature of 100 mil lion degrees as measurea Dy their soeed. occur only one or urn in each cubic yard of space. The concentration of heat is therefore close to zero. Number of Tons Although one or two atoms per cubic yard seems small, the universe is so large that the number of tons of hydro gen gas in space is close to the figure 10 followed by 48 zeros. The hot universe theory ex plains how galaxies may be formed from the hot hydrogen gas in space. Compared with the energetic hydrogen atoms iu intergalactic space, the star galaxies themselves are cold. As they speed through space, the star galaxies leave a cold pocket in their wake. The hot zas condenses around this mid Docket, on a scale of th -sands of light years, and a galaxy is born. In time, nuclear reactions will produce other chemical elements from the hydrogen starting material. Radio Halo The radio halo detected around galaxies is produced by radio w.ves emitted by the gas. Hot hydrogen gas sur rounding a colder galaxy would have sufficient energy to produce the observed radio emission, Profs. Hoyle and Gold believe. In trying to explain the or igin of cosmic rays in the past, astronomers have tail ored their theories to fit the main assumption that the uni verse between the galaxies is cold. Cosmic rays, therefore, cou'd not arise in such ener gyless space, and the current view is that this radiation or iginates only within galaxies and is accelerated by mag netic fields. However, certain very en ergetic cosmic rays cannot be explained by this theory since the magnetic field strengths of galaxies are not high enough. In the hot. universe theory, cosmic rays could arise every where, and enough energy would exist in intelgalactic regions for such energetic ra diation to originate there. Greengrass with a pitched ball to scpre Graff. Moore raced home when Bob DiPie tro hit into a double play. Thomas walked two men and Melton scored when Jim West- lake hit into a forced play. San Diego's runs came on solo homers by Steve Jankow ski in the fourth and Allen Jones in the seventh, both in the left field seats. Phoenix Wins The Phoenix Giants defeat ed Spokane, 5-4, in the only other PCL game played. Sac ramento at Vancouver, the only other game scheduled, wai rained out. Spokane's loss stretched the distance between seventh place and first place to 5Vz games in the girdle-tight PCL race. Bill Wilson tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give Phoenix its win. Toger McCardell and Benny Valenzuela clouted homers for the Giants and Joe Shipley got the win.

Increases Noted In Three Diseases Throughout U.S. Washington-(Science Serv-ice)-This country is now grap pling with a substantial rise not only in the number of polio cases, but in three other communicable diseases as well. Diphtheria, infections and serum hepatitis, and meningi tis are occurring more fre quently than last year, U.S. Public Health Service reports show. For instance, the incidence of hepatitis has increased 50 per cent. This disease attacks the liver and can result m permanent damage to that organ. More than 12,000 cases have been reported so far this year as compared to 8,100 last year at this time. The number of cases of diphtheria has risen 20 per cent above the 1958 total. Many of the reported cases of meningitis, inflammation of the membranes" that en velop the brain and spinal cord, exhibited mild symp toms of the disease but not paralysis or permanent dam age to the -spinal cord. This helps account for the large number of cases reported. Not Any Worse Despite these growing fig ures, one health official stated that this summer did not ap pear to be any worse than many of our previous sum mers. Paralytic polio continues to fan out from the Des Moines area. Rate-wise, this city is now the biggest trouble spot in the country. California and Texas have both reported larger numbers of cases than Des Moines, however. Both states have reported between 70 and 80 cases each while the Iowa city has reported 45 since January, 1959. The polio peak will not .ar rive for another six weeks, at least it never has before, one. official said. This season's polio pattern plus last year's high incidence " performance may be following the heavy polio trend of 1952, 1953, 1954 -before Salk-when an unusu ally large number of para lytic polio cases were reported each of those years. Constant prodding by the PHS plus weekly reports that polio was increasing prompt ed state and local health or ganizations to set up inocula tion clinics, resulting in a de mand for more Salk vaccine. Pharmaceutical com p a n i e s will -be able to produce only several million doses during July and August. It takes a dose of vaccine six months to travel from a beginning batch to an individual's arm. At present, only 4,000,000 doses are available. New Drugs Used in Ailments Mentioned Chicago-(Science Service) Three comparatively new drugs that may be used in the treatmenmt of circulatory ail ments have been described here. One is an anticoagulant, u ed to dissolve or prevent r'.ood clots. The other two are antihypertensive drugs, for treating high blood pres sure. The drugs were describ ed in the Journal of the American Medical association. SPORTS Hydros To Qualify At Seattle By ELD OK BARRETT Seattle (UP& Bronco bustin Bill Stead is expected to give the Maverick a rip-snorting ride today as he attempts to qualify the big hydroplane for Sunday's Gold Cup Race. Stead, a Nevada rancher, indicated he would try to bet ter the qualifying mark he set in last summer's Gold Cup trials when he drove the Mav erick one lap in 120.267 miles per hour and averaged three laps in 119.956 m.p.h. The current Maverick, a near replica of the boat ' he drove last year, is owned by Bill Waggoner, a millionaire Phoenix cattleman. 'Running Beautifully' Maverick was on the course Monday humming like an electric razor as she zipped around in an exhibition with Wahoo, a Seattle hydro dri ven by Mira Slovak. When Stead returned to the pits he said, "She's running beautifully." There was a possibility that four or five other boats would attempt to avoid the last min ute rush by qualifying today, depending on weather and motor engine temperatment. In this crowd were Kol Roy, Wahoo and Miss Pay 'n Save of Seattle and Miss Spo kane of Spokane. To Qualify The unlimited hydroplanes must turn three laps of the tree-mile course on Lake Washington at an average of at least 90 miles an hour to qualify for; Sunday's three heat, 90-mile grind. Other boats who must make qualifying runs before the starting gun sounds Sunday are Miss Thrif tway and Thriftway, Too, Seattle; Ha waii Kai III, Bellevue, Wash.; Coral Reef, Tacoma; Miss U.S. 1, Gale V and Gale VI, Detroit; Miss Tri-City, Pasco, Wash,; Breathless II, Lake Ta hoe, and Nitrogen, Washing ton, D.C.

A study of the after-effects of some drugs on rats result ed i a plea to drug companies by a psychobiologist. He urges that drug companies test the long-range effects of drugs upon animals and their possi ble connection with humans. To his knowledge, drug companies test the side-effects of drugs at the time of their use, but do not test the effects of drugs when they are no longer needed, Dr. Curt P. Richter told Science Service. Dr. Richter of the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic at Johns Hopkins hospital, Balti more, reported the results of his rat experiments in the cur rent Proceedings of the Na tional Academy of Sciences. Servicemen SERVING ABOARD Richard T. Rosemus, sea man, U.S. Navy, son of Thomas Rosemus, 5179 Crater Lake highway, Medford, is serving aboard the attack air craft carrier USS Essex.

The other 22 alleys recently were refinish ed and all alleys have been in operation since last week. Varipapa is appearing here through the cooperation of Fred Anderson, Medford lanes manager, and .Brunswick Balke - Collender Co., manu facturer of bowling equip ment. The world famous trick shot artist is on the Bruns wick advisory staff. Bowlings little giant has set many scoring records in his career and is most proud of his second consecutive triumph, in 1947, in the All Star tourney for national match game laurels. He is the only bowler in history to boast such an achievement. Varipapa averaged 210.8 per game in the 1947 tourney. The stellar kegler teamed with Lou Campi in 1948 for the national match game doubles title. He is fiftlr among all parti cipants in the All-Star aver agest with 205.41. Even the bowling experts admit that when it comes to trick shots, there is no one to challenge Varipapa. Possessor of a sharp-breaking hook and an unerring eye, Andy is able to make the most difficult shots, often with either hand. COLTS CUT ROSTER Westminster.

The spherical virus is a clus ter of 60 identical units of protein, arranged rather like the seeds of a raspberry, around a central core, Dr. A. Klug and J. T. Finch of Lon don University report. The polio virus is the first animal virus to be identified in detail. The anatomy of only two other spherical viruses both affecting plants has been studied in comparable detail. . - The scientists were able to , identify the raspberry struc- ' ture by means of X-ray photo- T graphs. Within the structure " lies a core, composed of nu cleic acid. This is the portion ' of the. virus which transmits infection.
