Sassy Test Oven Heat Lacking an oven thermometer or thermostatic oven control, one can compute roughly the heat of an oven by placing a piece of unglazed paper in center of lighted oven. When pa per browns in half a minute, heat is 475 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit; in one minute, 400 to 425 degrees; min ute and a half, 350 to 375 degrees; two minutes, 325 degrees. A cake is done when it shrinks from sides of pan, springs back when pressed lightly on top with finger, does not “sing” when held to the ear, does not stick to toothpick or straw in serted in center. TT MUST be understood in advance * that it is the minor leagues and the colleges that make the ma jor leagues what they are. And you can include the sand lots, who fur nish their full supply of stars. The big leagues stand and wait. But, it is the case of Lou Novikoff, recently turned back by the Chi cago Cubs, that proves again the number of brilliant minor league stars who can shine in their own domain, but are only dim candlelights in the wind when they move into faster company. Lou Novikoff is no outstanding excep- Loo Novikoff tion. He is merely one of many. For example, I recall from my earlier years the case of Three-Finger Jack Hulseman of Shreveport, who could hit .380 in the Southern league, lead that circuit more than once, and yet finished around .190 in the majors. And Hulseman was a great hitter—but only in the minors. A day or two ago I had a fan session with Lt. Bill Dickey, late of the Yankees, and Duster Mails, one of the best pitchers of his day —20 some odd years ago. “I could name you 30,” the Duster said. “Do you recall Paul Strand? Paul hit over .400 with Salt Lake. What a hitter. Paul was a .400 minor league hitter. But a .200 big league hitter. “I’ll give you another. Do you re member Ike Boone, the Alabama football and baseball star? There was a great football and baseball player. Ike came to the Missions on the west coast in a tough league with a bad right arm. He really had only one arm he could use. A Flop in Big Time “But in his first 27 games that season, Ike batted .410. He was ter rific. We all said that with two good arms he’d hit .500. He was big, game, strong, a natural athlete and a natural hitter. But in the big leagues with at least one or two clubs he was a steady .240 hitter. t “And there was Smeed Jolley with the Red Sox—6 feet 3—235 pounds, one of the greatest minor league hitters I ever saw. He had everything. In the big leagues ho hit maybe .200. “There was Bevo LeBourveau of the Phillies and Giants—terrific in the minors—but a flop in the big time. I could name you 20 great minor league hitters who couldn’t hit the size of their hats in the majors. And this includes the great Rus sian—Novikoff—who can hit every thing in the minors and nothing in the majors.” “One trouble with the minors,” Dickey said, “Is this—the pitch ers or the catchers often fail to dis cover the batters’ weakness. We’ll take Lou Novikoff. He can murder a certain type of pitch. He can’t even foul a fast one inside. But don’t ever give him a fast one outside. He’ll murder it. At least that’s what I hear. All I know is that after be ing with the Yankees in the Ameri can league so many years, I know just about what every fellow likes to swing at—and also what he DOESN’T like to swing at. And what a difference that makes.” (As a side remark, I’d like to add that Bill Dickey knew more about American league hitters than any catcher in the history of baseball. He knew everything they liked—and everything they didn’t like). Greatest Hitter “There was one exception. His name is Ted Williams of the Red Sox. “There is the greatest hitter I ever saw,” Dickey went on. He’d never swing at a ball two inches off the plate. Williams could wait for a fast ball or a fast curve until it was almost in my glove. Then if he liked it he’d even hook it to left. Ted had the swiftest reactions I’ve ever seen. He could make up his mind what to do in at least a tenth of a second. I tried to cross him every way I knew, but I never could. I’ll say that Ted Wil liams is the greatest hitter I ever saw in baseball, and I know how good Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe Di Maggio were. But Williams was something out of this world. If we hadn’t run Into this war I be lieve Williams would have finished as the greatest hitter of all time.” It might be added here that Lt. Bill Dickey, the Arkansas quail shot, never makes any wild state ments. He only calls them as he sees them. Nothing else counts with him. Most Thrilling Fight When it comes to the most thrill ing prize fight, I always pick the Dempsey - Firpo volcanic eruption that lasted only a trifle more than four minutes. Where Dempsey was hammered to the floor or at least to his knees with Firpo’s first right- hand—where Dempsey kept Firpo on the floor most of the round— where Firpo hammered Dempsey through the ropes—where everything happened in such a hurry that no one could follow the swiftly shifting scenario of raw action. ★ ★ ir ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ + C> + ^ VtM'ffi::, Homemade Breads Stimulate Appetites (See Recipes Below) Let’s Bake Breads If you want to fill your home with delectable aroma, there’s nothing like freshly baked breads with which to do it. Saturday baking is something which the present generation knows little or nothing about, because it’s so easy to buy good bread. Breads should be light and tender, tender crusted and flavor-packed. Hard to do? No, easy if you follow instructions. Many are the cooks who have baked perfect bread the first time thej’’ve tried. Kneading is important, but this is not difficult. This is done by push ing the heel part of the palm down into the dough and folding over, then repeating the process over and over again. Once you establish the rou tine, there’s a kind of fascinating rhythm to it. The dough should be kneaded until satiny and smooth. Don’t try to hurry up the rising process. It takes just so long, and good bread can’t be hurried along. The temperature should be fairly warm, around 80 to 85 degrees Fah renheit for bread raising. If you want to avoid the dark streaks in bread, add all the flour at the time of mixing. If added lat er, flour gives a coarse texture and makes unattractive streaks in the bread. Two processes are used in mak ing bread. If the sponge method is employed, the yeast is allowed to work in a batter-like mixture be fore other ingredients are combined with it. In the straight method, all ingredients are combined at once. If you are trying to save on sug ar, here is a good recipe to follow for making bread: *Enriched Bread. (Makes 4 1-pound loaves) 2 rups milk M cup light corn syrup or honey 4 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons shortening 2 cups water 1 cake yeast 14 cup water (lukewarm) 12 cups sifted enriched flour Scaltl milk.

When 11 dough is stiff, place on lightly floured board and knead until satiny and smooth. Shape into smooth ball. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dou bled in bulk. Punch down. Let rise again. When light, divide into 4 equal portions. Round up each por tion into a smooth ball. Cover and let rise 10 to 15 minutes. Mold into loaves. Place into greased pans and let rise unld doubled in bulk. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus.

HALSEY’S BASEBALL CAP Admiral Bill Halsey’s wife says the old baseball cap he wears “looks just awful.” On the other hand, we think it swell headgear. It gives Bill the look of a tough pitcher pouring in his fast one and dar ing the ump to say “Ball!” » The “look of eagles” is great, but the look of a baseball hurler who can also hit and field Is nothing to sneer at. • The admiral’s visor cap is prob ably a factor in the present be- fuddlement and concern of the Japs; it has them guessing. * It is not regulation, and anything like that bothers them. On one of the great admirals of the American fleet they see not an orthodox naval ADM. BILL HALSEY bonnet, but just a working chapeau, a tough piece of millinery . . . just the sort of old lid a man slaps on when he goes downstairs to lick a cop, settle an argument with a bill collector or take the bus to the chowder club picnic. ♦ The cap has a “sea you!” quality. • Some Japs have played just enough baseball to realize that it could be a baseball bonnet. For them to wear one wouh mean they would lose face. In Halsey’s case, it adds to his face. • To such Japs it complicates, still more, the question confronting the Nipponese empire: Should we bunt, try for a hit or hope for a foul fly? « Keep that baseball cap on, Bill! » And if you’re wearing spiked shoes, using a new type ball and car rying two bats, it’s okay with us. • • • BACK HOME STUFF IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson BY HAROLD L.

Ain’t It So! There really is No faster pace Than the downward drop Of a master race. CAN YOU REMEMBER— Away back when people put their faith in super fortifications? • • • The motto of too many people these days is “It’s smart to be shifty.” Bible history is a story of men of faith called and used of God to car ry out His purpose in the world. These thrilling accounts of worth while lives are to be our special concern during the three months we study the history of Israel and of the Church. I. A Call and a Covenant (Gen. 12:1, 2). God was now , ready to make known His choice of a man to be the father of His chosen people. He went down into Ur of the Chaldees in the midst of heathen worship, and called out a man who had faith in the true God. Abram, “when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not know ing whither he went” (Heb. 11:8). The Lord called him out from his own land and kindred, to get him away from his heathen forebears and their worship. God wants sep arated believers in our day, too (read and ponder II Cor. 6:17, 18). That cajl comes to every believer. To those who are to serve Him, there is a definite call much like Abram’s (see Matt. 10:37-39). With the call came a great cov enant, a seven-fold promise given in Genesis 12:2, 3. That covenant God repeatedly renewed with Abraham and his descendants. It has been partially fulfilled, and God has put Himself on record that every bit of it shall be completed. He keeps His promises. Why did God choose Israel? It was an act of His sovereign grace, not based on their merit or good ness. He had a threefold purpose: (1) That they should be the reposi- | tory for His truth (the Old Testa ment) in the earth; .(2) that they ! should be the channel for the com- i ing of the personal Redeemer to the ! earth; (3) that they should be a na- ! tional witness to the one true God amid the nations of the earth. ] They accomplished two of these, but failed in the last, and are now under God’s judgment for that sin and failure. II. Obedience and Opportunity (Acts 7:4-7). Abram went out at God’s com mand, even though he knew that it meant suffering and trial, being obe dient without question or hesitation. Bible history reveals that God de lights to do mighty things for those who give Him unquestioning obedi ence. God did great things for Abra- I ham, and yet he did not live to see the fulfillment of the promise. He j knew it was to be so, realizing that God’s plan was to be carried out in the children which he did not yet have (see Heb. 11:9-11). Here is a lesson for us. Our faith today, and the measure in which we apprehend the grace of God for life and service, will bless not only us, but our children (Ps. 103:17). For their sakes we ought to seek to in crease the spiritual heritage of our families. Certainly we should do nothing to blight their lives (Exod. 34:7). One may not be able to boast of the greatness and fineness of one’s ancestors, but one can be deter mined by the grace of God to be a good ancestor. Observe that Abraham’s obedi ence opened up the whole history of blessing and usefulness to the entire nation of Israel, a history not yet concluded by any means. Think what opportunity he might have de stroyed by disobedience. III. A Family and Its Faith (Acts 7:12-17). Stephen, a portion of whose ad dress of defense before the council is here before us, reviews the his tory of God’s dealings with Israel. Tracing the line down through Abra ham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, he recalls how God provided a haven of plenty for them in Egypt until they were ready to be brought up into the possession of their inheritance— the land of Palestine. Lack of space forbids the review of the lives of these pioneers of faith. The study would be most illuminat ing, for it repeatedly throws into sharp contrast the awful failures of these men when they forgot God, and the mighty victories they gained when they believed Him. In spite of their failures they were essentially men of faith, for God has counted them worthy of a place in that remarkable list of heroes of faith found in Hebrews 11 (see w. 17-22). The days in which we live are not pioneer days in the usual sense, but they are days when God is calling for new pioneers of faith to serve Him in a befuddled and bruised world. There are stirring days ahead for the Church of Christ if we as Christians will, like Abraham, hear the call of God and go out in loving obedience to Him. WANTED TO OUT BS'.D SAXOPHONES • CUIIHETS.
