AS A rule we can usually check on
this date just where the leaders
belong and who should dominate the
remainder of the campaign. It
doesn’t happen to work in that di
rection this passing year of 1940.
When we have Max Baer and Tony
Galento fighting to see which entry
will be tossed in
g against Joe Louis,
you get a general
idea of the heavy
weight matter.
Which means that
Joe Louis is still the
main standout, al
most the only stand
out in sport today.
This goes for all
A year ago the
. . Yankees were again
Grantlandß.ee running away wilh
the American league pennant. But
not this season.
Back in April Bimelech was
picked as another wonder horse, lie
still tops the three-year-olds, but he
isn’t any wonder horse. Two de
feats, including the Kentucky Derby,
have cut into his laurel collection.
With Challedon under repairs,
with Kayak sick, there have been
no top handicap horses. One wins,
and then another. Again no stand
outs.
Some three-year-old, maybe Bim
elech, will have to hurry to save
the crop.
The golfers have been in the same
fix. Byron Nelson failed in his 1940
defense of the title as Lawson Little
moved in. With the confidence de
veloped from this victory Little may
set another smoking pace, such as
he put through in the amateur divi
sion. But he is in a much tougher
league now. Anyway, the ex-ama
teur star has a great chance to be
come one of the outstanding figures
of golf.
He has a tough title to defend
when you must beat off 1,100 chal
lengers in place of one or two.
This, in away, is all the better
for building up public interest.
Yanks Now on Short End
Take up the difference shown in
the American league race. A year
ago we had only the Yankees—prac
tically losing the rest of the league.
Now we have four ball clubs with a
chance, and the Yankees have only
an outside chance. Rated 1 to 3 when
the season opened, they are far
from being favorites with the race
about half run. This has trebled in
terest in Cleveland, Detroit and Bos
ton, as well as other cities.
A race, to the mob, is always more
interesting than a runaway.
Bill McKechnie’s Reds represent
the most consistent combination in
opposition this sea
son than they faced jgt
last summer. But
they are still the /
most consistent . J J
ball club at the Bill ticXechnie'
half-mile post.
They have the better pitching, day
in and day out, to call upon.
Tennis Crop Blighted
Amateur tennis had little left when
Don Budge retired. With Wimble
don and the Davis Cup eliminated,
tennis had to take one on the point
of the chin.
The game is still looking for some
personality—such as McLoughlin,
Bill Johnston, Bill Tilden, Ellsworth
Vines or Budge. There is no such
party around at this writing. So far
the crop is colorless.
In baseball, the slump of DiMag
gio, Dickey and others has been
offset by such pitching stars as
Bob Feller and Buck Newsom.
There is only a slight chance that
any home-run hitter will reach the
50 mark. Feller ♦as the best chance
to pick up 30 victories and he may
reach this highly desirable spot.
Bob Feller might easily be base
ball’s standout for the present year
—a star pitcher hooked up with a
leading ball club.
But when you sum up the list the
one outstander—the lone eagle in the
sporting eyrie—is still Joe Louis.
He is champion of the champs.
And this goes for all the sporting
fields we know today, horse or man,
°r man or horse. Not only as a
fighter but in the way he has con
ducted himself, Louis is practically
all alone.
Only a big upheaval through the
remainder of 1940 can change thi?
rating or ranking.
Buck Neicsom Rides Again
No one can say that Louis Norman
1 Buck”) Newsom hasn’t seen his
share of baseball scenery. In the
last 12 years Buck has played with
at least 12 different teams in six or
seven leagues, and here he is today
burning up the American with a
varied assortment of wares.
Buck was born in Hartsville, S
O, 32 years ago. He bad to wander
a long time to reach his peak.
His first and tallest upward lunge
took place two years ago when he
v.’onjlo ball games for the Browns.

SERVE A SUCCULENT STEW
(Recipes Below)
There’s something so homey and
tasty about a good stew, that most
folks feel cheated unless a stew of
one sort or another appears on the
family table fairly regularly.
There are stews and stews, of

There are even “Cinderella
Stews,” which start out as leftovers
and end up as a well-seasoned one
dish meal.
Remember that “serving a stew”
is an economical measure, and a
time-saving one, as well. Stews and
meat pies usually make use of the
less expensive cuts of meat. Their
preparation is simple, and they
make a satisfying “One-dish meal,”
indeed.

Heat butter in large saucepan.
Add meat and brown. Add boiling
water, and seasonings; cover. When
boiling, reduce heat and simmer V/2
hours. Add vegetables and continue
cooking slowly for 1 hour. Mix flour
and water to a paste and add slowly.
Cook, stirring constantly until thick

One-Dish Sunday Dinner.
For a practical, one-dish meal that
can be left simmering while one is

pilaff is unsurpassed. Cut a 3-pound
chicken in pieces and fry in butter
to a golden brown. Add salt and
pepper to taste. When nearly brown

matoes) and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir
gently; cover, bring to a boil and

rest cooked this way the next day,
using only 1 cup of rice and 2 cups
of water.

UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for July 28
I.esson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education: used by
permission.
WEIGHING CONSEQUENCES
A Principle of Temperate Living
LESSON TEXT—Proverbs 1;7-10; Isaiah
5:11. 12. 18-23; Galatians G:7-9.
GOLDEN TEXT—Godliness Is profitable
unto all things, having promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to come.—
I Timothy 4:8.
An intelligent approach to life
calls for an understanding of prin
ciples governing thought and action.
Our lesson for today recognizes that
every act and thought of man brings
consequences, either good or bad.
Man himself must make the deci
sions of life, and what he sows he
must also reap.
Matters of crucial importance to
modern young people are involved
in our lesson. They are asking
these days, “Shall I listen to God’s
voice, or is that just old-fashioned
nonsense? What about obeying par
ents? Should I drink intoxicants?
‘Everybody’ does—why should I be
different? Of course, I don’t want
to be a drunkard or ruin my future
life, but I’d like to have ‘my fling’—
can’t I have it and still avoid dis
astrous consequences?”
The answers to these questions
are in our lesson. May God help
young people to find the right
answers, and enable every teacher
to present the truth clearly and ef
fectively.
I. Safe Counsel (Prov. 1:7-10).
No sane person wants to make a
fool of himself. He is looking for
the right way and will lend his ear
to good counsel. Here it is—“ The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge” (R. V., “wisdom”).
Fear of God is not a cringing ter
ror, but a sincere appreciation of His
wisdom and a desire to do His will.
The best counselors a boy or girl
has are father and mother. Only a
fool will pass up the golden oppor
tunity of profiting by their experi
ences and avoiding their mistakes,
and will miss the opportunity of car
rying forward their high hopes.
Those who fear God and honor their
parents will not be misled by the
enticement of sinners (v. 10). They
just will not “consent,” and that
settles it.
11. Steps to Ruin (Isa. 5:11, 12,
18-23).
Isaiah lived and ministered in a
time Of prosperity, which led to
drunkenness and immorality. This
in time led, as it always does, to
the decay and destruction of the na
tion. We face similar moral con
ditions today. Let us not shut our
eyes to the lesson so oft-repeated in
history and in false security go on
to national ruin.
We need outspoken and deter
mined opposition in civic, social and
religious circles to the liquor traffic
and to all the vices that follow in
evitably in its train. The portion of
our lesson from Isaiah vividly por
trays the downward path of the
drinker of intoxicants. Ponder it
well, young man and young woman.
111. Seedtime and Harvest (Gal.
6:7-9).
Everywhere about him man sees
the inexorable operation of the law
of cause and effect, of sowing and
reaping, and yet he listens to the
lies of Satan and of his own lustful
heart and tries to convince himself
that the law may be suspended in
the realm of the moral and spiritual.
Sowing to the flesh always brings
corruption. No matter how well ed
uc ated, no matter what his position
in life, or his family connection, the
man who takes his first drink has
started on the road to a drunkard’s
grave. Statistics reveal that the
victims of drink come from every
strata of society and every circum
stance of life. Young people, the
sure way to avoid the consequences
is to not take the first drink.
Sowing to the Spirit brings “life
everlasting.” That, too, is always
true. There is also another pre
cious truth: namely, that by turning
to Christ the one who has begun on
the downward path may stay the
ruinous hand of sin upon his life.
Taking Christ as his Saviour, he
finds regeneration and renewal of
life.
The Works of the Lord
Praise ye the Lord. I will praise
the Lord with my whole heart, in
the assembly of the upright, and in
the congregation. The works of the
Lord are great, sought out of all
them that have pleasure therein.—
Psalm 111: 1, 2.
As Lambs Among Wolves
Go your ways: behold, I send you
forth as lambs among wolves. Carry
neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes;
and salute no man by the way. And
into whatsoever house ye enter, first
say, Peace be unto this house.—
Luke 10: 3-5.
One Point of View
If we can not hope that life will
be all happiness we may, at least,
secure a heavy balance on the right
side.
The God Within
“God worketh in you.” This im
plies the actual presence of God at
the center of our being.
