THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. Grantland Rice IF THERE was a matter of a 1 million dollars at st'ake and you, as manager, had to pick the great est one-game pitcher for a particu lar contest—what hurler would you select? Years ago I asked Connie Mack this question and he had a ready answer. His pick was Charles Albert Bender, the Chippewa Chief, the wiry Indian who was not only a great pitcher but always at his best when the, blue chips were on the line. “We’ve had some pretty fair pitch ers on the Athletics in our time," Connie said. “I mean Rube Wad dell, Lefty Grove, Eddie Plank, Herb Pennock, George Earnshaw, and many others. Some of these undoubted ly had more stuff than Chief Bender had. But Bender was always at his peak in a game you had to win. On that one day you knew he would be at his best—and the mil lion dollars would only key him up —not let him down. “I know there have been better pitchers over a season or through many years. But in a pinch where the pressure was heavy, where the stake was high. Bender was a hard man to beat. And he would be just as cool and as relaxed for a million as he would be for a dime.” After this talk, I put the same problem up to Frank Frisch, one of the smartest men baseball has ever produced, one of its greatest competitors. Picks Dizzy Dean “Bender was a little before my day,” Frank said. “Under the con ditions you have named I think my pick would be Dizzy Dean. Diz zy was not only a great pitcher, but he also loved the spotlight. Also the pressure. His biggest thrill was in meeting Carl Hubbell. But compet ing against any star pitcher de lighted Dean. And don’t forget that Dizzy had everything a great pitch er needs — blazing speed — a fine curve ball—change of pace—good control—and above all unbeatable confidence in Dizzy Dean. “With a million dollars at stake Dizzy would have been unbeatable, at least as close to unbeatable un der such conditions as anyone I ever saw. For he wonld have revelled at such a chance. Even a billion dollars would never have bothered Ole Diz. That’s what I mean by naming such a pitcher.” . Remember this is not a matter of naming the game’s greatest pitch er through a season or through many years. It is the matter of naming the pitcher you would select under the heaviest sort of pressure for one vitally important game. Christy Mathewson, in his prime, belongs in this class. Few people today remember the Matty who pitched three successive shutouts against the Athletics in the 1905 World Series. The million dollars would never have bothered Matty. He lost the Giant-Cub play off in 1908—probably the most important single game ever played—but how many know he tackled this game with an arm so sore and tired that he could barely lift it when he began warming upf For that season Matty had won 37 games, and saved 12 others Great Old Alex I’ll give you another tough mil lion dollar competitor—in or out of condition. His name is Grover Cleveland Alexander. Here was as great a combination of heart, head and arm as I have ever seen. As a rookie in 1911 he won 28 games. Alex was another who took new inspiration from a tough spot, even in his fading years when he was in no shape to handle the job. But he still handled it, as Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees remembers in the 1926 World series when Alex fanned him with the bases full. And there is Ed Walsh of the White Sox—the pitcher Ty Cobb names as the greatest of all time for a period of five years. Walsh was a 40 game winner—and at his best in a hot spot. So here we have named such blue chip stars as Bend er, Dean, Mathewson, Alexander and Walsh. And there is always Carl Hubbell. These “big dough” entries were sure to be at their best for one big game—one vital contest. I have another nomination who belongs in this listing: Walter John son, winner of 400 games with • weak-hitting Washington club. Odd Ring Styles We were talking with Dumb Dan Morgan, who has only been mixed up with the ring game for a trifle more than 50 years, about various ring styles. Dumb Dan brought up Lee Oma, possibly the best heavy weight on the home front. “Oma is an odd one to the pres ent generation,” Morgan said, “with his way of dropping both hands, walking by an opponent as if taking a stroll, looking over one shoulder as he goes by, and then suddenly turning and leading the attack. Gene Tierney D ED-BLOODED girls with plenty ^ of vim, vigor, intrigue, and mis chief in their makeup are about to supplant the long cycle of admirable women who have held the fore ground in motion pictures for the last two years. And to Ernst Lubitsch, who haa created many vogues in the 30 years he has been in our business, goes credit for the initial venture in 1945. Shortly you will see Tallulah Bank- head in the red-blooded role of Cath erine in Ernst Lubitsch’s 4 4 A Royal Scandal.” Catherine was a character both in history books and the Lubitsch film. She always got TaUalak Bankhead her man. Her technique was di rect as the arch er’s arrow. Her methods fell short of murder—at least so far as her screen credit in this one goes—although the boys who wrote the textbooks gave her wider latitude. “Catherine might be said to rep resent the wish dreams of all wom en, especially the very repressed and quiet ones,” said Lubitsch with that merry, naughty twinkle which is as much a part of his trademark as his big black cigar or his trick of making box office hits. That Bankhead Touch “Of course, Hedda, Bankhead makes Catherine a little more at tractive than any other actress could possibly make her. Because the Bankhead influence is a highly con tagious thing, either on the stage or in films, every woman comes out of the theater colored by the Bank- head influence.” Since this is a day of action for women, with more females active outside the home than at any time in American history, I can see where the Catherine type is singu larly timely, and I’ll agree with that. We’ve had a spate of saints and sci entists, from Jennifer Jones in “The Song of Bernadette” to Greer Gar- son in “Madame Curie.” We’ve had cozy Mrs. Miniver and noble, strong- hearted wives like Claudette Colbert in “Since You Went Away.” We’ve had Maria Veronica in “The Keys of the Kingdom” and Irene Dnnne’a two characterizations of admirable women in “The White Cliffs of Dover” and "A Guy Named Joe.” And as the motion picture industry seldom stands still sufficiently long to allow moss to grow on the pave ment before the box office window, I can see where a radical change will be good all the way around. Since Twentieth Century - Fox is snapping up all the best sellers— they new own a list of 20 or more —and since the trend of current literature is toward meatier heroes and heroines, Darryl Zannck will be the first to inaugurate the new vogue on the screen. Little, but O, My! Gene Tierney will draw one of the outstanding examples of this new type in the role of Ellen in “Leave Her to Heaven.” Ellen is a girl with a will of reinforced concrete. She has no scruples whatsoever, even when it comes to shoving a little lad out of a boat when he ■interferes with her share of her hus band’s time and attention. Make no mistake, there are such women. If “Forever Amber” can be scripted in a way to skirt possible Hays office objections- this will be a role to end all roles of the type. Practically any star you want to name in Hollywood would give her eye teeth to get a crack at it. Hung in the bawdy setting of the court of Charles II—an utterly amoral era—Amber flaunts her beauty, con spires for power, matches her wits with some of England’s best brains. Saving grace for the film’s chance is the fact that the book at finish points a clear moral—you don’t get to enjoy what you want when you go about getting it in the wrong way. It looks as if Greer Garson, toe, will get her chance at a bad girl role. It’s the star part in “Drivin’ Woman” — a character that, moral ly irreproachable, gives the effect of a ruthless beauty without shred of scruple. Come to think of it, most great acting roles center around red- blooded women. And bad girls cer tainly have something. • • • Alluring Lobbyist I don’t know any other Hollywood lobbyist in Washington who’s had the Vice President play his or her accompaniment. Lauren Bacall did. As she walked to the piano, one higher up was heard to whisper to another, “Why, that gal’s hips wink at you!” . . . The latest independent quartet, going right ahead making plans, is Paulette Goddard, Burgess Meredith, Dudley Nichols, and Jean Renoir. Paulette has one outside pic ture a year from Paramount. This will no doubt be done at RKO. ★ ★★ ★★★★★★★★★★ HOUSEHOLD tSEMOS, Thrifty Lunches Use Vegetables, Noodles, Macaroni IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I CHOOL L, esson Potatoes are easily creamed if they are cooked first, seasoned with onion and then blended together with smooth, tasty sour cream. When points are low and luncheon presents itself, most of us are in a quandary. Are there foods to serve that are point-free and ap petizing? Yes, there are, and I’m giving you several sugges tions today which will make lunch eons an easy matter to prepare. I’d suggest that you make use of as many soups as possible for this mid-day meal. Use canned or de hydrated soups, if you’re rushed for time. If you have bits of leftover vegetables, puree or dice them fine and add to a thin white sauce. Hearty sandwiches go well with soups. You’ll like cottage cheese, liver sausage, eggs and peanut but ter combinations. A bit of crunchy celery will provide vitamins and minerals or crispy salads will add texture contrast to the bowl of soup and sandwich luncheon. If the men folk come home for lunch and expect heartier fare, there is the macaroni family which you can put to good use. Use fresh or home-canned vegetables for flavor and color contrast with spaghetti, noodles and macaroni, add a well- seasoned sauce, and luncheon is all ready to be served. This noodle platter with vegeta bles sells itself as soon as it arrives «t the table: Egg Noodles With Baked Onions and Lima Beans. (Serves 6) 1 8-ounce package of egg noodles 8 to 10 small onions 1 can condensed tomato soup 2 cups lima beans, fresh cooked or canned Vt cup diced or grated American cheese 3 tablespoons drippings Salt and pepper to taste Parboil onions until tender, about 20 minutes. Arrange in shallow bak ing dish and cov er with tomato soup that has been diluted. Add cheese. Bake in a moderately hot oven until soup is thoroughly heated and cheese melt ed. Cook egg noo dles in boiling salted water until tender. Drain; add drippings and arrange on serving platter. Place baked onions around the mound of noodles and serve with tomato cheese sauce. Buttered lima beans are a colorful, tasty addition. Macaroni and mushrooms are the basis for this flavorful dish: Macaroni and Mushrooms. (Serves 6) Vi pound boiled macaroni 1 tablespoon butter or substitute small onion, cut fine teaspoon flour cup beef or chicken soup pint stewed tomatoes tablespoon dried mushrooms, soaked and heated Salt and cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped 3 tablespoons grated American or Parmesan cheese After macaroni has boiled in salt ed water, place in colander and let Lynn Says: Clothes Tips: To make clothes easy to iron, make sure the board is well padded with cloth and have the cover stretched tightly over it. To keep clothes from freezing to the line, dip a cloth in a strong solution of salt and water and wipe line with it. Also, add a little salt to the last rinsing water for clothes. To remove chewing gum from clothes, place the garments in the refrigerator and chill thoroughly. Then it scrapes off easily with a knife. To remove grass stains from clothing, sponge with ammonia and water before washing.

An unusual but delicious combina tion is this one which uses baked potato with shrimps: •Baked Potato Stuffed With Shrimp. (Serves 4) 1 cup cooked or canned shrimp, cleaned 2 large baked potatoes 1 tablespoon butter Vi teaspoon salt Dash of pepper H cup milk 1 teaspoon minced onion 1 teaspoon finely minced parsley Clean shrimp. Cut hot baked po tato in halves lengthwise; scoop out insides. Mash; add butter, salt, pepper and milk. Beat well. Add onion, parsley and shrimp. Refill shells; bake in a hot oven at 450 de grees 5 to 8 minutes until lightly browned. When potatoes are creamed, they are extraordinarily nutritious. In this case, sour cream is used in place of white sauce, and it’s a cap tivating combination: Quick Creamed Potatoes. (Serves 6 to 8) 3 cups Idaho potatoes, diced 1 small onion, cut fine 3 or 4 tablespoons thick sour cream Salt and pepper to taste Place diced potatoes and onion into a heavy skillet. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, about % inch deep. Cover tight ly and cook until potatoes are ten der but not mushy. The water should be nearly all evaporated by this time. Add the sour cream and stir constantly until well blended. Sea son with salt and pepper and serve at once. N OT so many years ago, Ladino clover was almost unknown ex cept in the irrigated valleys of the western states. Believed to have come originally from Lodi, Italy, the seed was first imported into the United States about 1900. Ladino clover is particularly valu able for grazing, according to U. S. agronomists, due to its high carry ing capacity and large protein-min eral nutritive content, but it is also adaptable for hay and silage and is an excellent cover crop. These characteristics make it especially suitable for the limited farming ireas of states such as Vermont and New Hampshire, enabling farmers to grow most of the protein needed for their livestock, dairy and poul- try- The plant is a rapid - growing perennial legume, spreading by creeping fleshy stems that root at the nodes.

The average life of a good Ladino clover and grass planting is from four to seven years, management and fertiliza- THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP LESSON TEXT—Mstthew 19:16-28. 29.

It was harvested by a clipover com bine, self-propelled, formerly used for soybeans. Tests made at the University of Illinois showed that the seeds contained 53 per cent pro tein and were easily digested. The oil was excellent for salads and cooking. Pay* to Fight Weeds To control weeds the following points should be remembered: don’t let weeds go to seed, buy only weed- free seeds and feeds, clean home grown seeds carefully, grind or screen weed-freed grain, and don’t let machinery spread weeds. Run-down weedy pastures should be renovated and good rotation and cultural practices resorted to with intensive cultivation. It is possible to eradicate perennials with sodium chlorate. Corner Section for Unit Book Shelves W HETHER you live in a one- room apartment or a house viih wall spaces crying to be filled, jnit book shelves will answer your iced. They may be planned in :ombinations or used separately and any amateur can make them with the simplest hand tools. A corner unit is especially use ful. In a small room it fills an awkward angle and yet takes up What you,have is not your own. In fact, if you are a Christian, both you and your possessions belong to God (see I Cor. 6:20; 7:23). To be His disciple involves the recognition of the fact that life is essentially a stewardship, holding our property and our persons in trust for Him. The cost of discipleship is one which should be candidly faced. It is far more than the cost of join ing a church or subscribing to a creed. That may and often does mean little or nothing, but to be a follower of Christ calls for thinking and living in accordance with His standards. We must— I. Think Right About God (w. 16, 17). The picture of this rich, intelli gent young man, a leader in his community, coming to Christ with his eager quest for eternal life is a most attractive one. He recognized Jesus as a master in Israel and a good man. His thinking about our Lord did not go far enough, and Jesus cor rected him at once. He point-id out that if he recognized Him as good, then He must be God. Far from disclaiming divinity, Jesus declared here that everyone who thinks right about Him must agree that He is God. It is of the highest importance that the follower of Christ be clear that his master is God. Otherwise, his attitude toward Him will reflect his defective viewpoint, and his witness concerning Him will lead men astray instead of aright. Cor rect doctrine is vitally important as the foundation of real discipleship. The one who thinks right about God will— II. Live Right With Others (w. 18- 20). The commandments to which Jesus referred were those which concerned a man’s relationship to his fellow man. There is to be no violence to another person, no de ceit or trickery, no dishonoring of confidence, but an active interest and love for one’s neighbor as well as one’s family. The disciple of Christ cannot ef fectively serve Him in this world without a proper attitude toward others. He must not sin against them, that is clear; but what is more, he must be known as one who loves them. Note that this young man could honestly say that he had kept these commandments. Few of us could make such a claim, but he did. And Jesus did not question it or rebuke him. In fact, He loved him for it (see Mark 10:21). What a fine character this young man had, what limitless possibili ties for usefulness, what promise for the future! But something was lack ing, something stood in his way. Jesus went directly to the heart of his trouble and told him that he must— III. Act Right About Money (w. 21-26). Toward persons, his life was rightly related, but toward his pos sessions—ah, that was another mat ter. He was rich and his money stood between him and God, be tween him and a life of service and spirituality. When a man has money and uses it for God’s glory and the good of his fellow man, it is a blessing to him and to others. But when money lays jld of a man, and it has him instead of his having it, spiritual dis aster is ahead, and not far away. It is proper to be prudent, thrifty, and ambitious, but when the gath ering of wealth becomes the upper most thing, even these worthy qual ities become the enemies of a man’s soul. Note the astonishment of the dis ciples (v. 25). They, too, though they had little or nothing, had been smitten with the awe for riches. Do not miss the glorious assur ance of verse 26. Nothing is im possible with God. He can even save a rich man, and does it! Now there is more to discipleship than sacrifice. God has a recom pense for His children. Let us IV. Expect the Right Reward (v. 29). No one has ever lost anything by serving the Lord. He gives liberally and makes a hundredfold return for every sacrifice we make. Christian workers can testify that God has lit erally fulfilled this promise to them. But the greatest reward of all waits beyond the end of this earth ly life. Over yonder there awaits us the prospect of eternal fellowship with the Lord we love and serve, and with all those who share with us the place of being disciples, fol lowers, an<l servants of Christ. This life brings many precious moments of joy and satisfaction. There is friendship and comradeship in labor. There are a thousand blessings even here, but the great est of all is the prospect of being forever with the Lord. little space.
