A LE T 2c1\.ei-V-N.doews. AO Me Neecie4 VS(as. confiden.co It was in New York recently that Charley Metro bad talked, about r4or.l. Wilson. "I've expected every spring to -*tart reading stories about hint," said the latest No, 1 coach of the Chicago Cubs, "I've all,vayii thought he'd break out of hli. shell some day and he a fins pitcher. "I saw .a slot of Wilson 'in 1055, while managing the Augusta club in the Sally League," Charles, continued. "Ile was pitching in the god Sox organization with Montgomery and he really 'made that ball hum when he worked against us, "fie impressed me so much that I used to ask questions !theme him, wanted to .get him, of course, but was always told the same. thing, 'When he gets a Tittle more ,confidence,' they'd say, `hell be a great pitcher,' "That's why I've been looking for him to make it big with the Red Sox, He always seemed -so close. All he's ever needed was just a little more confidence in himself — —the confidence to. keep firing that fast ball for strikes," Well, Metro must have smiled to himself as he read about Earl 'Wilson's outstanding effort a- gainst the Los Angeles Angels, writes Ed Rumill in the Christian Science Monitor, Only 31 men walked to the plate against them end only four reached bases all on walks. There were no base hits and solidly hit balls were in the minority. The score was 2-0. The big Negro right-hander just kept firing away., -inning after inning, as the tension mounted and the crowd began to feel that perhaps they were watching the shaping of mound • history. Perhaps the "spirit" put into, this game by Wilson and his mates was best illustrated by a Frank Malzone catch in the eighth inning, with the no-hitter getting clangerouly close, The- veteran third baseman raced to the edge of the visiting dugout, gloved a foul fly, then tumbled into the arms of Los Angeles players. Red Sox players have known the importance of confidence in. the Wilson story — had felt that one big game could break him out of the almost .shy shell that had hampered his career for several years. But this could have been 'the game -- this could have been the effort that' big Earl :has .al_ ways needed' to help him "make it big.," Of course, he had been effective all spring while winning five and losing only 'two. But this one: well, 'this was some- thing real special — a once-in-a- lifetime game that all pitchers hope for and seldom get. This very well could be the one to give the boy the push, the vital incentive he has needed. Wilson, who started out in baseball as a catcher but switch, ed to mound because he could. throw hard, was personally con- gratulated by Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner, and given an increase in salary — what -amounts to a bonus. Said Wilson when first ap- proached by reporters after the game: "Man, I really -hit that one, didn't -I?"' • Thas,.he was a 'typical pitcher,. They alWays talk about their hitting, • was a stimulating release from accepted 'authority and uncon- trolled speculation. The new cri- terion was what a man could actually see for himself in the rocks, minerals a n d fossils, rather than what earlier schol- ars had written about them. One of the early giants of this revolution was James Hutton, a Scottish farmer who In the course of his many travels no- ticed that rocks appeared to be formed in layers, as though laid down one on top of the other over a long period, He inter- preted these layers correctly as ancient deposits of sediments built up from material carried down by rivers, or broken off from the seashore by waves. These sedimentary rocks tell a 'story , Hutton found places where such bedded rocks, steep- ly inclined,, were .covered by other rocks sloping more gently in a different direction and rest- ing on the worn surface of the up-ended older rocks. This type of structure, now called an unconformity, Hutton intepreted correctly for the first time as evidence of a great gap in the record of earth history — an interval during which the earlier rocks were folded, uplift- ed and worn down. Finally, when they had subsided beneath the sea, a new set of rocks was formed above them, . . It' was clear to Hutton that in these small exposures of rock beside' the sea he had found the key to much of the earth's his- tory. He marveled at its gran- deur and at the immense periods of time which must have been necessary for such changes to be accomplished. He was one of the first to realize that large valleys had not always been there, but had been formed through the ages by the slow downward and sideways cutting of the streams, and "that they were the result of a process of wearing away, or erosion, which, could well be a source of all the bedded sedi- mentary rocks . "Fingers" of granite appeared -to spread into the surrounding, rock from the main' mass, sug- gesting, that the granite had once been, a fluid and had` penetrated the rock before solidifying. Since the granite had been very hot to be fluid, Hutton suggested that it was formed from molten rock,— From "The Earth! Rocks, Minerals and, Fossils," by W, B. Harland., New York. of course, cook them in a skil- let or on an outdoor grill.

There are almost as many recipes for hamburger patties as there are outdoor cooks, for each proud maker-of-charcoal-fires seems to have his own specialty, end he is proud of it. If you like to buy lean meat and have it ground (or you can grind it at 'home), boneless chuck or round steak or neck or flank may be used. Ground beef needs a little fat to give it just the right flavor, so be sure to add just a little suet, Keep ground beef loosely wrapped in the re- frigerator and use it within a couple of days (or wrap it and freeze it). Cook hamburgers slowly and turn carefully; don't overcook, Add 1 teaspoon salt and a little pepper to each pound of ground beef; 1/4 cup chopped onion and 1 tablespoon Worces- tershire sauce are good season- ings, too, Once when I was spending a few days on a ranch in the Rocky Mountains, an outdoor cook told me that the high, cold air called for hearty meals. He used quick oats as an ingredient for his hamburgers, and here is such a recipe, writes Eleanor Richey Johnston in the Chris- tian Science Monitor. OUTDOOR HAMBURGERS 11,4 pounds ground meat 14 cup rolled oats — quick or old-fashioned, uncooked 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper ne teaspoon onion salt lee teaspoon oregano 1 cup tomato juice 2 eggs, beaten You will need also 8 slices each: Bermuda onion, tomato, Cheddar cheese, and bacon (par- tially cooked),. Thoroughly combine all' the hamburger . ingredients. 'Shape into 8 patties, Broil, If you broil inside in your stove, place 'on rack 4 - 5 inches from source of heat and broil for 8 minutes. Turn and broil 5 minutes. Re- move from heat and place slice of onion on top of each, then to- mato, then cheese, Cut bacon slices in half; form a chess of bacon on top of cheese on each hamburger. Return to broiler and broil 2-3 minutes, Serve on buns. • At noon haat day Inc hideous Paraded en the streets of the Young Silversmith and White Feather sat on the grass,. near the reneged OverpaSs where they could see all that wae going on.

Neebah, Eagle Boy and White Feather were to ride their ponies. in the last part of the parade,. with the tvdeo- per- formers, but they wanted to see the whole thing first, before it was time for them to line up.

Next cane the covered wagons .with their tin- est rugs displayed over their vanvas taps, and ;ast of all toe rodeo riders, ropers, and racers, Only Indians were allowed in the parade, The streets were lined with white people and In- dians who were not .partieipat- ing in the parade.: It had been .great, fun to watch the white people taking pictures, and try- ing so hard to be friendly with the Indians, It was easy for In- dians to keep straight faces—but not Tethle and Nezban (they had asked to ride together in Tethie's family wagon)) for they saw so many things that tickled them Young Silver- smitli, had climbed into the' wagon as the parade moved for- ward„ He watched the girls, his heart pounding, as they latighed at the white woman in the mid- riff sundress, . . . Then there was the man in shorts, with his knobby knees and hairy legs looking like gnarled, cedar limbs, strutting along, knowing full well that his Frank Buck hat and sun glasses would keep his friends from recognizing him. The girls would pull. their Pen- dleton blankets up so that just their eyes showed, and Young Silvermsith could hear them as they laughed together. "Oh, it is just so funny!" gig- gled Tethle. "Yes," laughed Neabah. "White people do such strange things." • The girls were so pretty that the onlookers would try to get pictures of them, but they would swiftly duck their heads, using their blankets . to hide them- selves from intruders. When the parade was over and they were on their way back to their camp, the girls asked if they might get out and walk beside the wagon.

TV Announcer Wets Plenty Hungry After thirteen years as a shortstop and six as a baseball telecaster with the New York Yankees, 44-year-old Phil Riz- zuto has reached a surprising conclusion: It's much easier to play doubleheaders than an- nounce 22-inning games. Alone at the WPIX mike during a Yankee-Detroit Tiger game last month from the seventh inning on (when Mel Allen switched over to radio), Rizzuto ran out of taped commercials and pa- tience — but never words. "I never was that tired after playing baseball," said Rizzuto after the Yankees won baseball's longest game (seven hours), 9 -7, in the 22nd innings. "When you say `the top of the sixteenth you start thinking of the last time you ate." By the seventeenth, Rizzuto, who had nothing to eat or drink during the game, let his hunger get the better of him — and he announced to the 1.4 million viewers his proposed menu for dinner: "Shrimp cocktail with Russian dressing, a sirloin steak New York cut, baked potato, string beans, coffee, apple pie, and ice cream," In the nine- teenth, he said; "I think I'd bet- ter make it a side order of spag- hetti, too." Finally, in the 21st, he added: "Better make it a double order of spaghetti and a double order of dessert." Then, at last, baseball's longest game ended. WPIX, which had been forced to cancel one movie, two comedy shows, one mystery, and Rocky Marciano, returned to its filmed fare, and Rizzuto returned to his hotel and food fare. He settled for singles. The only real winners: PeeWee Reese and the CBS Game of the Week crew who, because of prev- ious commitments, cut out after ten and a half innings.

He picked it up, rubbed it and his eyes popped, The lump was a 22oz, nugget of pure gold, worth about $1000 — the biggest nugget found in South Australia for the past forty years. These chance finds often lead to disputes, some as long-lasting as they ate fierce. One such wrangle is now taking place at Mudgee, New South ' Wales, where a hotel licensee called in a firm of contractors to renovate his bars. While pulling up the saloon bar floor, the contractors' men struck gold. They olaim "finder's rights."
