THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, NOVEMBER 7, 1941
S EVEN American league cities’
club owners and managers, are
already wondering how they are go
ing to keep the Yankees from an
other common canter next season.
So far they haven’t found the an
swer. Maybe there isn’t any answer.
There is certainly no solace at
hand in suggesting that the Yankees
are growing old.
The vital statistics
show that a ball
player’s prime is
somewhere between
26 and 30. It is here
he has the combina
tion of youth and
experience linked
together. For ex
ample, Ty Cobb was
26 when he had his
greatest season in
1911—when he bat
ted .420.
How does this
concern the Yankees?
Well, DiMaggio is 27, Gordon is
26, Killer Keller is 25, Henrich is
25, Rizzuto is 23, Sturm is 25, and
Bonham, Russo, Donald and Breuer
are all under 29.
- It’s true that William Malcolm
Dickey, better known as Arkansas
Bill, is 34. But Dickey, always in
condition, is good for 80 or 90 games,
and Buddy Rosar, Dickey’s under
study, is only 27. Red Rolfe is
33. Ruffing and Gomez are no
longer in the kid class. But Priddy
is only 22, and there is some first-
class talent coming up from Newark
and Kansas City.
The Yankees, in the main, are
still a young team—a team that
is in its active prime. And there
is still Joe McCarthy at the head
with his team blending influence. No
wonder the other American league
clubs are in a sadly baffled frame
of mind.
. For while the Yankees have been
mauling all National league rivals
with considerable gusto, they also
have been mauling their own league
just as lustily.
Great Second Basemen
Joe Gordon’s performance in the
last World series will more than
hold its plaoi when the Hot Stove
league opens its winter session.
In Gordon’s case it might be re
membered that he is still a young
fellow, with 8 to 10 seasons left in
his wiry system, and this is too soon
to compare him with the masters of
the past.
In this masters list you’ll find Nap
Lafoie, Eddie Collins, Frank Frisch,
Rogers Hornsby—and these four are
enough.
Lajoie, the most graceful of all
hall players, was also a normal .350
hitter. Eddie Collins was faster
than the big Frenchman and in ad
dition was a .340 or .350 hitter.
Hornsby was the best hitter of the
lot with a consecutive four-year
mark above .400. Bill Hanna, one of
the wisest of all the baseball experts,
always ranked Hornsby and Ed
Delehanty as the two greatest right-
handed hitters of all time—not even
barring Wagner and Lajoie. Frank
Frisch was another great second
baseman, fast, aggressive, smart,
and dangerous at bat.
It would be foolish to start ranking
Gordon, in his fourth big league
season, with these veterans who
starred for 15 or 20 years each. I’ll
say in behalf of Gordon, however,
that on the defense he can make
plays I don’t believe any other sec
ond baseman could match.
About Third Basemen
In any event, there are no third
basemen now around who even can
be compared with the best of other
years—Jimmy Collins of Boston, Bill
Bradley of Cleveland, Buck Weaver
of the White Sox, to mention only
three.
Collins, a fine artist, was also a
normal .330 hitter—almost as grace
ful at third as Lajoie was at second.
Buck Weaver is Ty Cobb’s all-
time pick and Buck isn’t far away
from the top. Red Rolfe, in better
health, might have been a closer
challenger.
Efificiency can also be costly at
times. For example, there are the
Yankees. They have needed just
36 games to win their last eight
World series competitions.
If they had been somewhat less
efficient and had needed the full
seven-game quota to win their titles,
these eight World series contests
would have required 56 games. This
means 20 possible extra games blown
off the docket, or a matter of some
$3,500,000, which is quite a chunk
of cash that combined ability and
honesty have cost various club own
ers.
Mickey Owen’s third-strike entan
glement in the fourth game of the
series undoubtedly cost both ball
clubs over $250,000.
“I was standing close by at the
moment,” Joe DiMaggio tells me,
“hoping for my time at bat. I can
testify that that curve of Casey’s
broke with unusual speed and sharp
ness. Tommy Henrich is a cool-
headed, quick-eyed hitter. Tommy
is a hard one to fool. But he must
have missed that sharp hook by at
least a foot. Standing where l was,
as close by, it is easy to understand
why that third strike got away.”

Fashion Advocates Lavish Use
Of Fur in a Variety of Ways
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
E'ASHION is most eloquently “say-
^ ing it” with furs this season. Ac
cording to the signs there is going
to be a most grand and glorious
display of furs this winter both as
trimming and as coat or cape en
sembles of sumptuous fur. Almost
everything in the way of matching
accessories that can be made of
fur is being made of fur: hats,
gloves, handbags, separate neck
pieces, detachable plastron fronts,
and lapel gadgets of bows and bou
tonnieres.
Milliners are giving of their bedt
in creating fur hats matched to
coats, to jackets, or to the trim
ming on one’s gown and wrap.
The favor for browns has placed
extra emphasis on the importance
of mink. There’s exciting fashion
news in the sumptuous mink coat
shown above to the right in the il
lustration. It is topped by a hat
made glorious by a wide brim (huge
fur hats will be worn this winter)
of matching mink.
The young woman centered above
in the picture is snappishly turned
out in an ensemble of gray Chinese
kidskin, the fingertip-length coat
fashioned along very youthful lines.
The insistent call for sleek black
by fashion sophisticates keeps Per
sian lamb and elegant broadtail in
the limelight again this season.
Royally luxurious is the broadtail
ensemble shown in the upper left
corner. Here a slim svelte princess
coat demonstrates how up-to-the-
minute is the styling given to furs
this season. The hat is one of those
new tall effects so definitely in style.
Its graceful feather trim is Kelly
green for added color.
Fur capes are definitely some
thing to talk about, for they are in
the very foreground of the current
fashion picture. The gorgeous cape
lower right, is of lustrous black
Persian lafnb. The new rule for a
black wrap worn with a color-bright
dress is faithfully observed. The
pretty, softly styled frock is in the
widely sponsored new gold tone.
For daytime wear nothing ex
ceeds leopard in chic, unless it be
American opossum, which is also
playing a star role. You will be
perfectly tuned to the grandstand
picture if you attend the game in
a coat of leopard at lower left.
It is a fashionable, three-quarter
length style with a stand-up collar
and bracelet - length sleeves — all
very youthful and destined for an
eye-smashing entry into any smart
gathering.
A most extraordinary develop
ment’in fur styling this season is
the working of glittering embroidery
on the lapels and collars of fur coats.
The new fur capes are sometimes
embroidered with a hem line bor
dering for evening. Brown sequins
worked on mink hats, jet motifs on
either black or white furs or metal
thread embroidery punctuated with
glistening jewels give to furs an en
tirely different aspect. Many of the
most staid and conservative coats
are bursting into glory with gleam
ing jeweled buttons.

Grandma’s Buttons
Make Style News
Dig into grandma’s button box,
and you may find hidden treasures
that will cause your winter gowns
and coats to soar to heights of sar
torial glory. Better still, trek around
to the button counters and see what
a splurge buttons are making in
the fashion realm.
Two important trends register in
the button field, one of which is the
inclination toward bulkiness. But
tons are sometimes massive and
knobby. Also, the new buttons tell
a grand and glorious color study.
You, with everyone else, are going
to wear a great deal more color
this year than you did last, and ac
cordingly button originals are keep
ing pace with the color commotion.
Plastic buttons are available in a
full range of costume colors. A but
ton that makes an interesting ac
cent on frock or blouse is a molded
plastic done in a flower design with
nailhead detail. Fresh fashion in
terest is also developing in filigree
buttons. A gold filigree button is
proving especially attractive for
dress-up blouses and party frocks.
In fact, metal buttons rank high in
favor, whatever the type.
Glitter is popular, and lovely
rhinestone buttons flourish on wools,
velveteens, dressy crepes, and the
newest fashion note is rhinestone or
other jeweled buttons on fur coats
and jackets.
Woolies Defy the Chill
Breath of Jack Frost
Farmers can prognosticate and
their signs are unfailing. It’s
“ditto” with fashion. Well, from
all fashion indications, we will see
wool mittens; long wool socks (sheer
wool for daytime hose); heads done
up in wool wimples; huge fur hats
and muffs as extravagantly big. All
will valiantly fulfill their mission of
comfort and smart appearance
when winter brings on its usual
quota of days with a sharp tang.
Possum on Wool
American opossum is a flattering,
young-looking fur when it trims
swank town and country tweeds. It
carries a message of style prestige
wherever it goes, and this year
fashion’s spotlight is showing it up
more conspicuously than ever. In
the picture we see American opos
sum accentuating the straight sil
houette of a hunter’s green wool
coat. Three bands of the fur around
the bottom of the skirt, and a flat
tering ripple collar of this fur, add
distinction to the pencil-slim coat.
The ripple-brim fine felt hat is de
tailed with stitching.

Dean ol The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.

Lesson for November 9

REPENTANCE AND FAITH
LESSON TEXi—Luke 15:11-24
GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye. and believe
the gospel.—Mark 1:15.
Sin with its devastating conse
quences has its only remedy in the
salvation which is in Christ Jesus.
He died to set us free from the pen
alty, the power, and ultimately the
very presence of sin. However, His
death, which was for all mankind,
is effective only for those who in
repentance and faith accept His re
deeming grace and turning from
their sin.
I. Worldly Pleasure Brings Sor
row (vv. 11-16).
Selfishness is at the heart of sin,
which is essentially self-will over
against God’s will. The younger son,
who represents the sinner, wanted
his own way. He suffered from
1. Restlessness Under Restraint
(w. 11, 12). The father loved his
son and sought his welfare by prop
er parental control, but the boy
wanted to be free to live as he
pleased. God loves all men and
seeks by loving and gracious re
straint to lead them in ways of
righteousness and peace. But they,
while they want His blessings, are
often eager to get away from
His guiding hand.
2. A Request Resulting in Respon
sibility (w. 12, 13). When the prodi
gal asked for his inheritance he took
upon himself full responsibility for
its use. The mam who refuses to
have Christ rule over his life as
sumes a grave and heavy burden
which he is not able to bear.
It is an awful thing to rule God
out of one’s life, to attempt to steer
a successful course through the
stormy sea of life. Why do it? It
will always result in loss and failure.
3. Riotous Living Leading to Re
proach (w. 13-16). In the “far coun
try” he found for a time what we
call “fun,” but it led to bitte: sor
row. To the flesh there are “pleas
ures of sin” (Heb. 11:25), but they
are only “for a season”; that is,
“very short lived—and they c»me
high. ‘The devil is not such a fool
as to go fishing without bait.’ The
pleasures of sin are the devil’s bait,
and they always have a hook in
them. If you bite at the devil’s bait
you will soon have the devil’s hook
in your gills and be in the bottom of,
the devil’s boat” (John W. Brad
bury).
The end of Satan’s “fun” road
was a pigpen in a far country. That
may not always be literally true (al
though it happens often enough), but
it is always true spiritually. Men
and women are in a state of spir
itual collapse and disgrace because
they have rejected God’s way. But
there is a way out.
H. Godly Sorrow Brings Joy (vv.
17-24).
Paul tells us that “godly sorrow
worketh repentance to salvation”
and thus differs from “the sorrow
of the world" which “worketh
death” (II Cor. 7:10). The prodigal
found his way back to the father’s
house. First, there came to him
I. Remembrance and Realization
(vv. 17-19). He began to think. If
men and women could only be made
to think we would have more re
pentance, but Satan tries to keep
them too busy to think. He remem
bered what he had as. a son in his
father’s household. What memories
will your boy have in his hour of
need? You are writing that record
now.
He “came to himself.” The man
in sin is really unbalanced, subnor
mal, not himself, spiritually insane.
When he “came to” he knew that he
was in the way of the perishing.
Then came
2. Repentance and Return (vv.
20, 21). To repent means to change
your mind, to turn your life in an
“about face” from sin to God. Re
pentance calls for more than think
ing or talking or praying. One must
act. The young man “arose and
came to his father.” That was his
part, and then came the father’s
part—
3. Restoration and Rejoicing (w.
22-24). The son expected to return
as a hired servant, but his father
restored him to full family fellow
ship. God is gracious, and the re
pentant sinner finds himself clad in
the spotless robe of Christ’s right
eousness, wearing the ring of son-
ship, with shoes on his feet, so that
he may go on the errands of his
Father.
God’s plan of salvation brings no
half-way redemption. There are no
stepsons or distant relatives in His
family. It is a full salvation which
brings glorious fellowship in life and
service.
You who are slill eating the husks
of this world, who are in the far
country tending swine, we invite you
too to come to God and share in the
rejoicing in the Father’s house.
Life a Struggle
Life is a struggle, but not a war
fare; it is a day’s labor, but labor
on God’s earth, under the sun and
stars with other laborers, where we
may think and sing and rejoice as
we work.—John Burroughs.
IT IS just like big sister’s, that is
why this jerkin, skirt and blouse
outfit will be so dear to the heart

Lincoln’s Beard Result
Of Little Girl’s Suggestion
\ little girl from Westfield, N. Y.,
once wrote Abraham Lincoln a let
ter as follows:
“I am a little girl, eleven years
old . . . have you any little girls
about as large as I am ... If you
will let your whiskers grow, you
would look a great deal better for
your face is so thin ... I must not
write any more answer this right
off. Good bye. Grace Bedell.”
A few months later, Lincoln let
his beard grow. On one of his
trips he passed through Westfield
and immediately sent for Grace.
He thrilled her by pointing to his
beard and saying: “You see—I
let those whiskers grow for you,
Grace.”

and their hands and feet five de
grees cooler than those of men.
