THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Released by Western Newspaper Union. W ITH the induction of Catcher William Malcolm Dickey into the navy, the New York Yankees lost the last man of an era that made the champions the most fa mous club in baseball. Bill Dickey played with Bab* Ruth. Lou Gehrig was his room mate, and in more recent years there were Tommy Henrich, Joe DiMaggio, George Selkirk, Johnny Sturm, Buddy Hassett, Red Ruffing, Ken Sears, Phil Rizzuto, Bill John son, Charlie Keller and others who made the Yankees the champions of the world. When Manager Joe McCarthy re ceived word of Dickey’s status he said: “I guess it’s only the beginning. Uncle Sam wants him and that’s all there is to it. I wish Bill the best of lack. We’ll all miss him. He was a great catcher, great hitter, and a great man to have on a ball clnb. The records prove Dickey was the greatest catcher of all time.” Exactly how much the loss of Dickey will affect the Yankees re- BILL DICKEY mains to be seen, but most observ ers believe that it will rank with the biggest, comparable to the loss of DiMaggio, Keller or any of the others who are in service. Dickey's Rating Unquestionably Dickey deserves ranking with the best catchers of all time. He shared in nine World series cuts and appeared behind the bat in every contest of the Yankees’ last eight series. Only Roth ap peared in more World series, and Dickey's feat of playing on seven winning clubs tied a mark held by Both and Gehrig. The only uniform that Dickey ever wore in the big show was a Yankee uniform—and he wore that for 16 seasons. The veteran, who will be 37 years old in June, received the plaque as player of the year at the recent Baseball Writers’ dinner in New York. He holds the major league record of catching 100 games or more for 13 consecutive seasons and batted over the .300 mark in 11 seasons. His lifetime average is .313. Apparently the Yankee front of fice had seen the handwriting on the wall. Joe Glenn, a veteran, was purchased from Kansas City just a few days before Dickey was induct ed. The club also has the services of Bob Collins and Mike Garbark, rookies with little or no big league experience, and maybe Rollie Hems- ley, a good catcher but a man who ’says he would sooner be farming than playing baseball. All-Important When the news was given to Mc Carthy he wanted to say he was sorry to see Dickey go. But he checked his words for fear they might be misunderstood. As the manager of a baseball club It is inconceivable that McCarthy should be glad to see Dickey go. A catcher is all-important. A winning ball club must be strong through the middle, from the catcher’s box through center field. The trend of the times was evi denced by the fact that, when news of Dickey’s induction came, the only catcher in the Yankee spring camp was Claude Larned, a councilman from Pleasantville, N. Y., where he has a gas station. Lamed is not even trying out for the team. He was around only because he likes baseball and happens to be a friend of Paul Krichell, the Yankee’s No. 1 scout. The mighty have not fallen, but their troubles are as numerous as those besetting the seven other clubs of the league. And that alone is most unusual.

It meets all the requirements for a good, wartime dish. Do you plan your meals to suit the family’s mood? In spring, for instance, do you sat isfy their hunger for foods crisp, crunchy and light? Do you get away frorp the too hearty and heavy foods of winter and heed the change in weather and appetite? If you don’t, then you should! Every family requires a change in food as well as in dress. Food is more fun for both you and the family if you vary menus from time to time, weed out much-repeat ed recipes and add new ones to the family’s collections. Do keep in mind the changes of season and their wealth of new foods and color schemes to add interest to the diet. Save Used Fatal Vegetables herald the important coming of spring—and their use in meals should be more generous, even in the meat course itself where they will act as a meat extender: Meat Bails in Vegetable Sauce.

This is what I mean, so check yourself on the following points so that you can tell if you’re do ing the job on the home front: Save cans—to meet the quota of 400,000,000 used cans every month. Save waste paper and collect scrap. Containers are made from these to ship supplies to forces overseas. Start the Victory Garden early —to produce more food than we did last year. Store leftover food correctly, prevent waste. Shop early in the day, early in the week. Accept no goods with out stamps. Substitute for scarce foods, serve simpler meals to save time and leave you more time for vital war work.
