Tne 2Dth physicists found that radioactive elements, as they gave off their radiations, changed to other elements. The metal uranium changed to radium and radium finally to lead. The heat from these transmutations were believed to be the source of the heat in the earth's interior. It is also believed the heat of the sun is due to this form of atom smashing, and that the sun is actually a huge atomic bomb.

Meyer just got out of the Army last spring after two years of service. Meyer has hit steadily and has been one of the brighter spots in the Tribe's performance this season. His .300 average is only 15 percentage points behind that of Tony Cuccinello of the Chicago White Sox who currently is leading the league with .315.

The Reds need only one victory to swing the balance in their favor for the season. Cincinnati set the stage to win their series with the Phillies yesterday when they defeated them 4 to 1 behind the hurling of Howard Fox.

Pitching before the smallest major league crowd of the year--346 paying customers--Fox ended a nine-game losing streak by holding the Phils to a single run in the ninth inning. Fox's last victory was over the New York Giants July 6. The Reds sewed up the game in the fifth inning on a walk and singles by Al Libke, Frank McCormick and Hank Sauer which were good for three runs. Jimmy Foxx then relieved Izzy Leon and held the Reds hitless the rest of the way. Total game attendance, including ladies who git into the game free, was just under 1,000.

TOM HARMON TO BE SPORTSCASTER Detroit. Sept. 7, (U.R)--Tom Harmon, University of Michigan football star of 1938-40 and decorated army flier, today embarked in a career as a football radio announcer after rejecting numerous offers to play professional football. Harmon was signed by radio station WJR, yesterday to broadcast accounts of all University of Michigan football games this fall. Before entering the army.

Harmon had done some football broadcasts of Michigan games. In turning down an offer to play with the Chicago Bears in the National Football League, Harmon indicated his play against Gretn Bay in All-Star contest last week was his last visit to the gridiron as a player. Wahl 2b Fox, Sarringhaus gave every indication in summer practice that his military service hasn't spoiled the aim that made him second among the passers in the Big Ten in 1942. "On The Spot" His performance since fall practice got under way last week has been even more impressive. And if effort means anything, he'll be in line when the All-America roll is called this year.

Sarringhaus' presence in the Ohio State backfield will be particularly important in view of the fact that at least two--and perhaps three- other backs will be freshmen. In that case, Sarringhaus will be able to give the youthful Buckeyes the benefit of his poise and Big Ten experience just as Horvath did during the 1944 season. Although Ollie Cline, freshman fullback on the 1944 squad, is back this year he has passed his Army physical and may be called for service at any time. Coach Carroll C. Widdoes said both the right half and quarterback spots would have to be filled by freshmen.

Do You Remember? Buckeye fans best remember Sar- ringhaus for his work in the 1942 Michigan game which Ohio State won 21-7 to clinch the Western Conference title for Coach Paul E. Brown. Sarringhaus, who stands 5 feet 10 inches and tips the scales at 185 pounds, did everything right that game. He played 57 minutes out of 60, completed four out of five pass attempts for 121 vital yards and scored two of Ohio's three touchdowns, one on a running and one on a pass play. Sarringhaus' season record was even more impressive.

He scored 13 touchdowns for 78 points-to rank second to Gene Fekete in scoring for the Ohio State squad. In all, he played a total of 306 minutes. In addition, he completed 22 oJ 45 pass attempts for 549 yards and then made 650 yards more on the ground in lugging the ball 116 times. He last only 31 yards on the ground and had only four passes intercepted all season. One of his most spectacular plays occurred in the Southern California game which Ohio also won.

Although he failed to score himself he completed a 63-yard pass to enc Bob Shaw for a touchdown. Totals 31 4 7 27 14 Philadelphia 000 000 001--1 Cincinnati 000 130 OOx--4 Errors--None.

Louis (Muncnef 11-2) at Washington 'Wolff 16-10) night. BY JACK CUDDY United Press Correspondent Rome, Sept. (U.R)-- The world of sport found a staunch friend today in Pope Pius xn, who granted touring American sports writers an audience and urged them to stress the need for athletics in the postwar commonwealth of nations. "Sports on the whole are essential, helping to deter juvenile delinquency through providing healthful recreation and proper environments causing healthy bodies and healthy minds, resulting in good citizens," he said. Cites St.

Paul Referring to St. Paul as an early advocate of athletics, his holiness said the idea of not indulging in sports is far from the Christian idea. "The human body is a masterpiece of God's work and should be properly cared for in appreciation," he said. Although he would not endorse any specific sport, stressing that virtually all were beneficial if properly pursued, he gave American football an indirect pat on the back. Recalling his visit to the Unitec States in 1936 when he was papal secretary of state, he mentioned a trip to Notre Dame university.

One of the writers asked what he thought of the Notre Dame football team. "You'd have to see it with your own eyes to believe it," he said. Although the pope was frail as boy and never participated in athletics. it was evident through his friendly discussion that he admired American enthusiasm for sports.

The tougher job belongs to the Tigers. Their lead hi the American League has been reduced to a game and a half because they split a double header at New York yesterday while the second place Senators took two from the Browns at Washington. The task of the Cubs Is mud simpler. Now five full games it front they could drop below the mark, winning 12 and losing 13 iheir remaining games and th Cardinals would have to take 16 am lose seven of their remaining game tie, a pace which they haven managed to hit this season. Washington provided evidence i isn't to be counted out and at th same time dealt a mid-riff blow Brownie hopes by beating last year champions, 2 to 0 and 3 to 2.

Detroit salvaged a 5 to 2 victor on the three-hit pitching of Le Mueller after wildness and Yanke homers, two by Aaron Robinson, an one each by Bud Metheny and Char ley Keller gave New York a 14 to opening win.
