... FIGHT TO FINISH IN BIG LEAGUES
By H. I. PHILLIPS
MR. TWITCHELL ANALYZES
#/T LOOK FOR the most exciting
race in years in both baseball
big leagues,” declared Elmer
Twitchell, eminent sports fan, pi
nochle player and antique nutpick
collector, today. “If you wish my
analysis, based largely on getting
E ie games by radio and television,
ere it is. Beer, cigarettes, the
‘Yanks, motor oils, Dem Bums and
various breakfast foods will fight It
out to the finish in both leagues,
and any one of them can win.

"It has been a very good race
so far, with the American
league a little faster with the
clear - cut commercials, bnt
with the National league clear
ly outclassing it with the more
informal testimonials to popu
lar products. I don’t recall a
Today in a Troubled Hour
[ "TODAY in a troubled hour I doubted God,
And then was ashamed,
For there came a voice through the dark
ness, calling to me.
That clearly named
Those far-off times when I had cried aloud
In my pain and grief,
I Reminding me that unfailingly God’s hand
Had brought relief;
Bidding me wait and hope, bidding me trust
Until I could see
That he who had never failed, still will not fail...
It comforted me
As a mother comforts her ailing child, and my
faith
That had been so small
Suddenly grew as the young com grew in the sun:

baseball race when the appeals
to radio fans to hurry to the
icebox for a cold drink were
done with such spirit and form.
• • •
"In both major leagues the boys
who bat out the commercials were
in there trying at all times and
they rarely failed to come through
in the pinches. The game, it seems
to me, is much faster than it used
to be. When I was a boy, a game
would go on all afternoon with no
reference to a cigar, a lubricant
or a drink- Ibe emphasis seemed
to be on garters and cathartics all
via the old-fashioned billboards.
Advertising as a handmaiden of
the national game was minimized.
You could take it or leave it.
• . .
“Today from the opening cry
' of ‘Play Ball’ the contest tin
gles with sales talks. They are
not only nsing the livelier ball
but livelier jingles and selling
arguments.
• • .
"For years I took my baseball
without having my sales resistance
knocked over the fence, but today
it happens to me in every inning.
...
"Hitting, pitching and base run
ning have improved tremendously
in baseball. So have enunciation
and merchandising. The twirling is
much better. The announcer throws
- nee d
| but also has a change of pace.
"They say that whoever is
ahead July 4 will finish as the
pennant winners. The Dodgers
and a couple of breweries were
out front on that date this year
in one league and the Yanks
and tobacco away out ahead in
the American. I look for no
great change.
...
"The final result may be in
fluenced somewhat by mishaps.
One of the top announcers in the
American league has developed
calcification of the vocal delivery
and may be out a few weeks. And
two announcers in the National are
out with lame tonsils-”
"What do you think of the Ath
letics?” we asked.
“I would have to know more
about the product they sponsor,”
replied Mr. Twitchell.

FATHER AND SON
Q.—Popper, what is a British dol
lar crisis?
A.—The British dollar crisis?
Ahem. Well, er, it is a crisis over
dollars. The British have trouble
buying things with the American
dollar.
Q.—Like mommer does?
A.—Yes, in a way. Haven’t you
any home work to do?
Q.—But, popper, isn’t a dollar a
dollar in England just as much as
in this country?
A.—No, my son. I think the Willis
boy is outside calling for you.
Q.—Answer my question first,
popper-
A.—Well, er, the dollar is an
American unit. The British use
pounds.
Q.—Pounds of what?
A.—A pound is their unit of
money. An Englishman never
asks "Lend me 10 dollars.” He
asks "Lend me 10 pounds.”
Q.—If we say we haven’t any
pounds and offer him dollars
will he refuse to take the mon
ey?
A.—Don’t be fantastic. Of
course he takes the money, but
he won’t spend it in dollars.
Q.—Then what good are dollars
to him?
A.^-The kids are playing ball
across the street. Don’t you need
fresh air?
...
Q.—Popper, what is a sterling
area?
A—It is an area where sterling
is the monetary base. Various
countries use different kinds of
money but it is converted into ster
ling, and where’s your catcher’s
mitt?
Q.—Is the dollar worth more
than the other kinds of money,
popper?
A.—It is worth so much more
that the British can’t afford to use
it to buy things until next Septem
ber. Now beat it.

B ROWN-HAIRED, blue-eyed Mar
ta Toren was discovered by a
film writer at the Royal Dramatic
Academy in Stockholm, where
Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman
also studied. The writer tested her,
and as soon as Universal-Interna
tional executives saw the test they
signed her. “Sword in the Desert,"

pears with Dana Andrews and
Stephen McNally, makes her a full
Hedged star. She studied ballet till
she was 13, wanted to become an
actress when she finished high
school, but her father pursuaded
her to become a secretary instead.
Three years of that, then she broke
av/ay, and dramatic school came
next.
"Sword in the Desert” is the
first Hollywood film to deal with
the smuggling of settlers past the
British blockade in Palestine. Full
of action, it moves rapidly, gives
film-gders plenty of excitement for
their money.
“Cavalcade of America,”
back on the air Monday nights
en NBC, will once again have
top stars in top vehicles. It not
only brings the stories of great
personages to Its mikes, but
also those of little known peo
ple who have contributed sig
nificantly to the American way
of life. Such stars as Irene
Dunne, Raymond Massey,
Charles Boyer and Dorothy
McGuire appear on it.
Lloyd Bridges says you can’t
overestimate what luck does for a
movie career. “It took me 12 solid
yearn of struggling in Hollywood
before I got my first decent break
in ‘Home of the Brave.' Then
Eagle-Lion gave me the lead in
*Trapped.’ Since it was finished
I’ve been offered dozens of other
breaks.” Modest Mr. Bridges says
nothing about what his talent has
contributed.
T HROUGH the opening in the
trees above the woods road
Langford could see the dull glow
against the sky. It was growing
brighter by the minute, and now
the smell of smoke was strong. In
his ears there
was the distant
3 * Minute and omi nous
Fiction ™ ar ° f crack -
ling flames.
He stumbled
forward, his breath a sobbing gasp
in his throat, his face white and
drawn from the strain of running.
It seemed that he had run a thous
and miles, though he knew it was
not more than eight. Eight at the
most. That meant there were still
three to go before he reached the
river. Then he’d have to swim
across and make another mile up
the slope to his cabin. By then it
might be too late. By then the fire
might have swept down on the
little log structure and destroyed
it, and what it contained. Anne and
little Bobby. He closed his eyes to
shut out the picture.
After a while he stood up and
went on. The glow against the
sky was brighter, bright red
and orange and yellow. Against
it he could see billowing smoke
clouds and occasional showers
of sparks. That meant the
flames had reached the ridge
behind the cabin. In another
moment they would be sweep
ing down the slope toward his
clearing.
His spirits sank. He choked as
the smoke grew thicker and the
air suffocating. Above him he
heard the wail of a rising wind,
and above the wind there was the
increasing ’ roar of the fire. Anne
wouldn’t understand until it was
too late.
It couldn’t be much more than a
mile, he told himself. He called on
his last ounce of energy and fought
ahead.
Suddenly a wild hope beat in his
heart. He looked up and there at
his very feet was water. The river!
He had come faster than he
thought But abruptly the hope
died. Looking across he stared into
a solid sheet of flame and smoke
belching sparks. The entire slope
of the hill, which was between the
river and his cabin, was afire.
Groaning, be sank to his
knees. Before him the river
hissed and steamed as flying
fragments fell into it. Its black
depths mirrored the licking
tongues of flame with terrible
beauty.
Watching with horrible fascina
tion, Langford’s heart suddenly
gave a bound. He leaped to his
feet and plunged into the water,
shouting. Fifty feet from shore a
dark silhouette had come into the
path of orange reflection, wabbling
crazily but moving steadily toward
the shore. Atop it, was a huddled
bundle of something, that moved
and propelled the silhouette for
ward with awkward, ' clumsy
strokes.
T ANGFORD WADED in to his arm-
“ pits and then started to swim.
He called again and a voice an
swered him, telling him to go back.
But he didn't. And presently the
silhouette ranged alongside and
Anne’s frightened eyes were look
ing into his own.
"Bobby?” he gasped.
“He’s here, under the blankets.
And I saved the hens too, and a
lot of our personal things.”
Langford helped push the im
provised raft ashore. But it wasn’t
until Anne had alighted and he had
carried Bobby to safety that he
discovered the raft was the hen
coop he’d made for Anne’s chick
ens. Four or five boards were
laid across its top and lashed to
gether with part of the wire.
“It was the only thing I could
carry,” Anne was saying. “I
took the boards from the fence.
The chickens are all in the bur
lap bag, and our things are
sunk in a box on the other side
of the river.”
Langford stared at her and for
no accountable reason he began to
laugh. It was a curious sound, not
wholly rational. But the incon
gruity of it was justified, for it had
occurred to him what a stupid fool
he’d been to think Anne helpless.

PUZZLE NO. 17
Serve Fish Often For Meal Variety
(See Recipe below)
Seafood Specials
MpISH do not swim in the ocean
A just to be eaten on Friday,”
says the old adage. If you’ve had
the good fortune of eating fish pre
pared properly, then you certainly
will adhere to the adage, for fish
cooked to perfection is truly de
licious.
But, there are other reasons for
eating fish, tool You may have
abundant body
building proteins,
minerals and
vitamins when
you have a fish
dinner.
Fish are modestly priced wheth
er you buy them fresh, quick-
frozen or canned, so they’ll help
you with food budgeting problems.
They’re plentiful and amazingly
versatile, if you’ll just give them a
chance.
If you don’t particularly enjoy
fish, try a new way of preparation.
One of the recipes in today’s col
umn might start you on a new food
adventure. Or, if you tend to get
tired of fish, try other methods of
preparation with a dash of spank
ing brand new flavor tricks. You’ll
be surprised at how many new
ways there are for preparing the
same foods.
Many have heard of "fish and
chips,” but have you ever
tried them at home? Use filets of
fish which have been cleaned, then
season with salt and pepper. Roll
them in flour and dip in a thin
batter, and fry in deep fat (360°).
Served with shoe string potatoes,
also fried in deep fat until golden
and crisp, a hearts of lettuce salad
and a generous serving of lemon
quarters, you’ll have a really de
licious dinner for any night of the
week.

D O YOU OBJECT" to the odor of
fish? Fish which is not over
cooked will not have that odor to
which you may rightfully object.
It’s wise to remember that fish is
dehcate and does not need long
cooking to make it tender.
Baked fish is popular, especially
when it’s stuffed with a nicely sea
soned celery mixture, then served
with a tangy lemon-butter sauce.
•Stuffed-Baked Fish
(Serves 6)
S to 4 pound whole fish
3 tablespoons chopped onion

1 tablespoon minced parsley
K cup bacon drippings
4 cups dry bread cubes
1 teaspoon salt
H teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Sage, marjoram or
thyme
4 slices bacon
Have fish cleaned but leave on
head, tail and fins. Wipe dry. Rub
inside and out
with salt; let
stand about 10
minutes. Cook
onion, celery
and parsley in
drippings until
golden brown.
Combine with
bread cubes and
seasonings.
Toss lightly and stuff fish loosely.
Fasten fish with skewers and lace
with string. Place fish, seam side
down in a shallow, well greased
baking pan. Brush with melted fat
or salad oil. Bake, uncovered, in
a moderately hot oven (375°) for 40
to 50 minutes. Baste occasionally

LYNN SAYS:
These Tested Ways
Help in Fish Cookery
When breading fish fillets, allow
the fish to stand after breading for
at least one half hour, so that the
coating will not fall off when the
fillets are fried.
Potato nests are a nice innova
tion for serving creamed fish. Make
them by cutting raw potatoes into
slender strips, and cook in hot fat
for 2 minutes. Press the potatoes
into muffin pans and brown in a hot
oven.

dry ingredients. Beat until smooth

Serve at once.
Oysters have a delicate flavor,
but you can coax them into an even
more appetite tempting dish as fol
lows:
Savory Oyster Casserole
(Serves 4)
2 dozen oysters
1 eup cooked, chopped spinach
1 bay leaf
V4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
1 eup toasted bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
Z tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced parsley
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons minced celery
Salt, pepper and cayenne
pepper ,
Add seasonings to parsley, spin
ach, bay leaf, onion and celery,
Brown flour ir
butter and add
spinach mixture
to it. Cook slow
ly for 15 minute!
and then re
move bay leaf
Drain and dr;
oysters and
place in a buttered baking dish, o:
in individual casseroles. Mis
oysters with bread crumbs, then
top with vegetable mixture. Dresi
with lemon juice. Bake in a hoi
(450°) oven for about 12 minutes.
Serve with additional lemon, if de
sired.
Chopped sweet pickles added to
bread stuffing make a nice inno
vation when used with pike or oth
er white-fleshed fish.
Lemon browned butter is another
fine idea for serving with fish.
Brown but do not burn butter over
a slow fire in a heavy skillet. Add
to this a dash of Worcestershire
sauce and lemon juice to season.
Fish fillets are sometimes more
interesting if dipped in bread dress
ing, rolled, fastened with string
and baked or fried, than when
served flat.
