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.

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. Add syrup, salt,
shortening or water. Cool to luke
warm. Add yeast /'>
which has been fev
softened in V* cup .
lukewarm water. I tT »VkV>'
Add flour gradu
ally, mixing it .
thoroughly. 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.

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

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.

The Great Tripe Issue

about the preparation of tripe and
he ■ said that it had to be cooked

ways keep the foam skimmed off.
. . . “It’s awful stuff” was his com

Somewhere, sometime, I read that
a foraging party sent out from Val
ley Forge returned discouraged with
nothing but several tripe and some
whole peppers, but the camp cook
had some onions and potatoes and
from these made the s’ 'ey stew
that became the first “pe per pot.”

Away back when people put their faith

• • •
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.
