THE phrase "Kentucky rifleman”
is authentic, for I have eaten the
venison that followed in the wake of
Paul Derringer’s unerring aim on
the trail of a deer.
In the last few years any number
of batters have had a harder time
in the wake of his fast ball, curve
and control.
Paul Derringer has played a lead
ing role in the Red drive for the last
two years, despite the fact that sev
en years ago he was rated all
through and on his way over the
hill. That was the year that pitch
ing for both Cardinals and Reds he
won 7 games and lost 27, for the
meager average of .206, far below
tail-end form.
Six years after this dashing deba
cle Paul won 25 and lost 7, one of
the most startling reversals I know
in all sport.
Paul Derringer was born in
Springfield, Ky., 34 years ago this
y
PAUL DERRINGER
coming October. He is around 6
feet 4, weighing 210 pounds.
He began unveiling his right arm
in Danville in 1927, 13 years ago.
In 1933 St. Louis traded Paul to Cin
cinnati for Leo Durocher and others
now unknown. Both teams got star
men.
Mandarin Durocher, now guarding
the destinies of the Dodgers, would
just as soon that Derringer had been
traded to another club, preferably
Brooklyn.
The Serious Athlete
Paul is what you would call a
serious athlete. There is no great
amount of levity in his nature.
Those who don’t know him might call
him surly or sulky, but he isn’t.
Quiet people are often thrown into
this class, when they should be
awarded chaplets of laurel or wild
apple blossoms.
Outside of baseball he likes to
hunt and he doesn’t mind being
alone.
Today Paul Derringer comes close
to being the best all-around pitcher
in baseball. He is certainly the
smartest.
Six years after he turned in his
.206 average with the Reds he gave
the same city a winning average
of .781. This upward leap of 575
points is close to the high-jump rec
ord of all time. But it still belongs
to Paul Derringer.
He was on his way over the high
hill seven years ago. He had made
three World series starts and had
lost them all. He had taken more
than his share of hammering. But
a year ago in his older age he won
25 games and he’ll win 25 or more
this season.
His main specialty seems to be
one and two-hitters. He has been
closer to more no-hit games than
any pitcher in the trade.
Unless some peculiar series of epi
sodes takes place, the same Der
ringer will be heard from in loud
tones in the next World series.
Another Entry
You can add the name of Freddy
Fitzsimmons to this all-star list.
Freddy was 39 years old on Sun
day. The Dodger star began pitch
ing for Muskegon in the Central
league just 20 years ago. He stuck
with the Giants for 13 years until
Bill Terry decided there was no
linger any winning stuff left in
Freddy’s right arm.
So Terry traded him to Brooklyn.
This season, after 20 years of
pitching, Fitzsimmons has already
won 10 games for Brooklyn against
a lone defeat. He has the highest
pitching percentage in baseball.
Having packed away 202 major
league victories, Fitz is just warm
ing up. He has an all-time life aver
age around .600, which is nothing to
leer at after you have been around
since 1920.
Fitz is one of the fine characters
of baseball. He is one of the main
credits to the game that has car
ried him along into middle age
middle age as far as active competi
tion is concerned.
And with 10 out of 11 for 1940 he
is now headed for his greatest year.
i hose Who Come Back
The most somber line ever writ
ten in sport was this: "They don’t
come back.”
Nothing was ever farther from the
truth. No other line has ever had
a more depressing effect on some
stars.
The true fact is they keep on com
ing back. We have just related the
two cases of Derringer and Fitz
simmons. Then there is Schoolboy
Rowe.

WHEN YOU PLAN A PICNIC FOR A CROWD
(Recipes Below.)
Community picnics are fun! They
offer an opportunity for a carefree
day under the open sky—carefree
for even the chairman in charge of
affairs, if she’s planned her program
well and chosen her helpers wisely.
If the crowd to be served is a
really large one, it’s a good idea

each main dish
V cw) such as meat, po-
VCy tatoes, salad, des-
Nrfflm sert, and bever
-1 age, and one re
sponsible for extras such as buns,
butter, relishes, etc. There’ll be a
serving committee and a clean-up
committee, as well.
Picnics for four or five families
are usually co-operative affairs.
Each family may supply its own
lunch, but more often each one pro
vides one item in large enough quan
tities to serve the crowd. One fam
ily might provide the salad, one the
meat, and still another family the
dessert, which might be watermel
on, a luscious chocolate cake, or a
freezer full of old fashioned ice
cream. With a little planning, the
cost can be fairly equally distrib
uted.
When an outing is in the offing and
it’s up to you to plan the menu for
a crowd, you’ll find these picnic
pointers helpful.
1. If lunch is being prepared at
home, choose foods that permit be
forehand preparation, and that are
not too difficult to carry or to serve.
2. Provide a fairly simple meal,
with plenty of everything but not so
much variety that it will cause con
fusion and lots of extra work.
3. Unless you axe sure of a good
water supply, it’s better to carry the
water from home.
4. Carry fruit juices, tomato juice
or milk in thermos bottles.
5. The main dish for the picnic—
which might be chili, baked beans,
or escalloped potatoes, can be
cooked the day before, then in the
morning brought to the boiling point,
and the dutch oven or casserole
wrapped in several thicknesses of
newspaper to retain the heat.
6. Don’t overlook the possibilities
in frozen foods for picnic use. Quick
frozen meats can be carried, with
out ice, even on a warm day. They
thaw out on the way to the picnic
ground and will be ready to use.
You’ll find other picnic pointers
in my cook book, “Easy Entertain
ing.” There are menus and tested
recipes for beach parties, hikes and
a “Colorado beefsteak fry.”

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUTST, D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago,
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for August 25
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education: used by
permission.
CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 12:13, 14;
Psalm 51:1-3, 9-13; 32:5.
GOLDEN TEXT—Confess your faults one
to another, and pray one for another, that
ye may be healed. —James 5:16.
If the Bible told us only of perfect
people, we would recognize it as
being not true to life and assuredly
of no help to us who know our own
sinful natures. The Bible, however,
tells us in all truthfulness of the
bad as well as the good, the weak
as well as the strong, the humble
as well as the mighty.
It honestly portrays the sins of
its greatest characters, revealing
the heart of man as “deceitful above
all things, and desperately wicked”
(Jcr. 17:9). It tells us of a gra
cious God (when man repents and
forsakes his sin) who invites the
sinner to come and be delivered
from his sin.
The lesson centers around David,
the humble shepherd boy who be
came king; and in the height of
his glory, being tempted of his own
evil desires, fell into the lowest of
sin, which he then sought to cover
by a well-planned murder. He finds
no peace until he repents and re
turns to God. Three words sum
marize the lesson.
I. Sin (II Sam. 12:13, 14).
That little three lettered Word
seems to have the hiss of the ser
pent in it—sp—the cause of all
man’s woes and the heartache of a
loving God.
David had tried to hide his sin
and he said, “My bones waxed old
through my roaring all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was
heavy upon me” (Ps. 32: 3,4). “Be
sure your sin will find you out”
(Num. 32:23) is just as true today
as it was in David’s time.
The nature of sin is described in
Psalm 51, and if we may anticipate
a bit, we note that it is described
by three words: “transgression,”
meaning a rebellious “stepping
over” God’s boundaries; “iniquity,”
from the same root as our word
“unequal,” meaning crookedness of
heart and life; and “sin,” which
means missing the mark, a life go
ing the wrong way.
Note that sin, while it may bring
sorrow and trouble to us and those
round about us, is “against the
Lord” (v. 13 and Ps. 51:4). The sin
ner must face and answer to God
for his sin.
Nathan’s straightforward dealing
with David brought him to
11. Repentance (Ps. 51:1-3, 9-13).
What David expressed to Nathan
—“I have sinned against the Lord”
—is more fully expressed in the
great psalm of penitence which we
know as Psalm 51. Dr. Wilbur M.
Smith well says that “probably these
verses have brought more comfort,
and assurance of forgiveness, and
hope for a renewed life after some
terrible transgression, to a greater
number of God’s children down
through the ages than any other sin
gle passage in the pages of the
Old Testament.”
To acknowledge one’s transgres
sion before God is to open the flood
gates of His mercy, to receive His
grace in forgiveness, cleansing, res
toration, new joy, and (note it well)
renewed usefulness (v. 13), God
does not cast His people off because
of their sin, nor cut off their use
fulness when they repent.
Observe, however, that God did
not permit David’s sin to go un
punished. God is forgiving, but even
repentance cannot wipe out the re
sults of sin (II Sam. 12:14). God
chastised David to declare before
ti e people all of His divine hatred
of sin. To sin against God is no
1 ght and casual thing. It cuts deep
ly into life, and only the grace of
Cod is sufficient to bring a man up
out of that pit. But there is
111. Forgiveness (Ps. 32:5).
How tender and sweet is that word
—forgiveness. It speaks of the re
moval of guilt, the breaking down
of the barrier which sin has created,
and the restoration of fellowship.
Where all had been wrong and trou
bled, all has become right and at
peace.
These things are true even in the
forgiveness of one man toward an
other who has offended, bubinfinite
| ly greater when the heart of God
| meets the repentant sinner. He' is
so ready to meet such a man that
j even while he is thinking of con
fessing, God sees the attitude of his
| heart and forgives. “At this mo
ment, without sight or sound that
mortal ear can detect, or attitude
that the eye of man can observe,
even before the thing is said, when
I make up my mind to confess,
‘thou forgavest the iniquity of my
sin’! Do you wonder that when this
man was going to write a psalm
about this matter, he had to begin,
‘O the blessings of transgression
forgiven, and sin covered’?.” (G,
Campbell Morgan).

Fidelity
It is only by fidelity in little things
that a true and constant love to God
can be distinguished from a passing
fervor of spirit.
