te It was on a he ':1 niLl.t in early July
with St. Louis lilowns red Cleveland
Ili 1 its battling desperately in a low -scoring
American League baseball Lame, that a
slim, wiry Nieilo was called from the St.
Louis bull -pen, end rushed to the mound
in einereency.
Crti+warily, this wouldn't be unusual. But this Negro was at
least 59 years old. Perhaps more. 'Yet for inning after inning,
he stood on the pitching hill, defying the power of Cleveland's
heavy -hitting team to acore a run oft him.
lulling ;tier inning, he flung his pitching '.sizardr,y at the
enemy. Baffled by his streaking fast hall, hi, tantalizing curves,
the power -house team went runless, Not until ten scoreless inn-
ings had been pitched by this seternn Negro, did Cleveland break
through with tl e winner.
`1'lte Negro was Satchell Paige, one of baseball's most
fabulous personalities. :\ud this, Itis second such effort ' of the
season, rates, we think as one of the great feats of the baseball
year, something to entltiese those wvi o like to sec a wrong righted.
The wroeg was this; Here is a man who was probably the
fittest pitcher of his time, and his time was long. But he had no
chance to prone it,
Seems to us we have heard of the feats of "Old Satch" ever
since we started growing up, dhough literally that can't be true.
Competent baseball men told us for years that Paige would burn
up either big league, given the opportunity.
At a late date in life, at an age when most ballplayers are
not good enough for minor leagues, even Satchell Paige got his
belated chance.
For Inose carne late to Satchel], it was not until the twiligj.1
of Itis amazing career that he was given a chance to pitch in the
big leagues -by 13111 Veeck at Cleveland. There, in 1948, he got
a chance to pitch in Ids first World Series.
You can spend some time speculating what a pitcher Paige
must have been 20 years ago, when there was more steel and
rubber in his pitching -arm. Thpt today he could at his age,
pitch 10 scoreless games in top company makes one stand ready
to believe `any legendary tale they tell of "Olt! Satch's" fabulous
exploits -2,000 games pitched in 20 years, for instance. That's a
game every 3% clays, the year 'round'. 'Satoh" probably did it,
An amazing figure, and a notable addition to the list of those
who prove that while life may begin at 40, competitive life
doesn't end there, in sport, with such exhibits as Willie Hoppe,
jersey Joe Walcott, Bob Fitzsimmons, and Bill Cook offered on
behalf of the defence.

If the New York Yankees man-
age to make it again this year -
by no means a certainty at this writ-
ing, but still they're out in front
by a couple of lengths -no little
part of the credit must go to Billy
Martin. For .young Mr. Martin
seems to be one of those "throw-
backs" seen all too seldom these
days -a ball player who plays not
for money, but for the sheer love
of the game. •
* * *
Of course, he gets paid -well paid
at that. But his attitude to the
sport Is close to that of Babe Ruth
when he was starting out. Babe,
told what salary he was going to
get from Jack Dunn's Baltimore
team, is said to have blurted, in
genuine amazement, "You don't
mean to say they PAY folks for
playing ball!"

cently Arthur Daley had some in-
teresting things to say about the
young infielder.
r * *
Martin has been a solid man in
his infield for most of the season
and would have been lots better if
he hadn't had the misfo'ttune to
breakan ankle during spring train-
ing. Billy was hotter than a $2
pistol in the Soutli. Stengel, the
Machiavellian schemer, was figuring
on him as a regular somewhere in
the infield because service calls
soon would claim Jerry Coleman
and Bobby Brown. But the kid's -
crack -up ended that notion, de-
layed his start and impaired his
effectiveness.
* * *
"As near as I've been able to cal-
culate," said Billy with rueful mod-
esty, the other day, "that ankle
cost me twenty or thirty points in
my batting average. I was right
in the hitting groove in Florida and
would have had a big jump on the
pitchers before they settled down. •
Not only did 1 have to start all
over again when I returned, but
my ankle slowed me up just enough
so that I was missing the • close
ones instead of getting them. But
as long as the team wins, what's
the difference?"

downright mean. That's when he is
in uniform. Out of uniform, he's
quiet, modest, polite and as nice a
kid as you'd ever want to meet,
No wonder Stengel is so crazy
about him.
., * *
The 01' Perfessor first fell for
him when he managed the brash
Mr. Martin at Oakland. After one
ball game, which the Oaks barely
won, Billy came- to his skipper in
abject apology for a most peculiar
play herd made.
:1' 4
"I hadn't oughter have done it,
Case," he said contritely. "It mighta
cost us the ball game. But I couldn't
resist.. The last time I went to bat
that pitcher was throwing at my
head. IIe'd been lowering the boons
at me all day. So when he comes
to bat, I call time and talk to our
pitcher. -
"Jonesey,' I tell 'ilini- 'That guy's
been lowbridging me. You gotta
throw at his head in order to pro-
tect me.' He won't do it. So I go
over to him again. 'Jonesey,' I say,
'You gotta protect me or I won't
protect you. If ycu don't low -bridge
him, maybe I won't come up with
the double -play ball you need.'
:F * *
"Well, Case, I guess I was wrong
in telling him -that. He don't lower
the boom on him and the other
pitcher walks. Then I was even
more wrong in what I did, The
next batter hits the double -play
ball. I step on the bag, pivot and
-Case, I'm almost ashamed at what
I did. I should have thrown to first.
But I see that big goof of a pitcher
coming down the line and I throw
the ball at his head. Someone has
to teach that guy good manners.
Our pitcher won't da it, So I did
it myself. I'm sorry, Case. I won't
let it happen any more." As an af-
terthought he added, "Unless maybe
he low -bridges inc again."
* *
Once the pennant was clinched
last season, Stengel started a junior
varsity team. Martin walked over
to Phil Rizzuto near the batting
cage. -
"Out of the way, you little
squirt" he said cheerfully. "Us re-
gulars gotta- hit and you're just
a substitute today. I've decided that
I'm the captain of this team and
you better do what the captain
says."
"Yes, sir," said Phil mischievous-
ly. "I mean -yes, capt'n."
* * *
Martin has been the unofficial
captain of the Yankees ever since,
* • * *
Bellicose Billy hit the headlines
twice this season by hitting enemy
ball players. He belted Cliff Court-
ney of the Browns when Courtney
objected with his fists to the too
vigorous manner in which Martin
tagged hint.
* * *
But before that he tangled in
wordy battles with Jim Piersail of
the Red Sox until a certain remark
compelled him to finish off Piersall
in a brisk fist fight under the club-
house. To Martin it was the insult
supreme,
"You fresh busher," taunted Pier
call. Billy Martin is awfully fresh
but tie's no basher.
PARTING WISH
Judge Jim Wallace, of the New
York Supreme Court, remembers
when two natives of County Cork
occupied adjoining cells In the deth
house. The dread morning arrived
when Paddy was scheduled to be
led to the electric chair. The Gov-
ernor had failed to grant a reprieve,
and Paddy knew his casd was hope -
leas. As the guards came to lead him
down "the last mile," his friend
Mike in the next cell strove des-
perately to think of something
cheering to say. At the last mo-
ment, he waved his hared through
the bars and called jovially, "Well,
Paddy me boy, more power to yel"
Milk And Honey
The Perfect Foods
The specialist shrugged his shoul-
ders elequently, The patient with
stomach trouble had refused the
operation suggested and left the
consulting -room. For two years he
had existed on sloppy foods, and
now had neither energy nor sta-
mina, but only a desire to get well
and live a normal life.
It was a bee -keeper friend who
suggested a diet Of honey, a sug-
gestion which was accepted on the
principle of trying everything
once. At the end of sit months the
patient felt a new man, no longer
having to spend eighteen hours a
day in bed and leaving his wife to
run their business. At the end of a
year he was normal -and cured.
Honey had done the trick yet once
again.
Milk, Too
Roney is Nature's perfect food,
one of her only two products in-
tended solely as food Milk is the
other one.
Honey is manufactured. The
honey -making bee sips the nectar
from the flowers, mixes it with
juices from specialised salivary
-
glands, and evaporates the sur-
plus water. When it is 'ripe she
seals it in cells of the combs, and
then it is safe for a thousand
years and more; pure food you
might say for all time.
Its main constituents. are dex-
trose, levulose, and sucrose -grape,
fruit, and cane s'tgars. It also con-
tains, among other things, copper,
manganese chlorine, calcium, sul-
phur, phosphorus, magnesium, iron,
silica..
It is hygroscopic -that is, it
draws moisture front anything and
everything with which it comes in
contact, which is why germs can-
not live in pure ]honey. It draws
out the water on which they live.
Experiments conducted in the
U.S.A. prove that the germ causing
typhoid fever can only live in honey
for 48 hours; that the germ caus-
ing dysentery is rendered impotent
in 10 hours; and the germ mainly
responsible for bronchial pneu-
monia has "had it" after four days.
Ambrosia
American hospitals ohave used
honey for the treatment of wounds
for many years, and now it is an-
nounced that one great English
hospital is using honey exclusively,
for the dressing of surgical wounds
in its operating theatre.
1 -Toney is the great energy -pro-
vider, its sugars being absorbed in
the bloodstream within 10 min-
utes of being eaten or drunk in
water. It is also a fine nightcap if
a teaspoonful is taken in a cup of
Clot water, since it induces sleep.
A solution of honey and water in
equal parts will not freeze solid,
but a similar sugar solution will.
Because of this a mixture of honey
and water was until recently used
as an anti -freeze liquid in automo-
bile radiators.
The ancients were fully aware of
the virtues of honey, and used it as
food, medicine, ointment, and aa a
hair -restorer. The Romans mixed
it with fruit juices and drank it as
a health - giving beverage, The

thyme grew in great profusion.
In Hot Water
It is believed that the ancient
Britons were enthusiastic bee -keep-
ers, and one of the early names
given to Britain was The Honey
Isle of Beli. The Roman historian,
Plutarch, asserted that the Brit-
ons only began to grow old when
a hundred and twenty years of age,
and attributed this to the amount
of honey they consumed.
The famous Anglo Saxon mead
was shade by fermenting the li-
quor obtained by boiling in water
combs from which the ]honey had
been drained. One ounce of hops
was then added to each gallon of
this and some brandy, and the re-
sulting liquid was the potent sack -
mead.
In ancient Egypt it was valued
as an embalming material, and
even to -day those qualities are ex-
ploited. When eggs or seeds have
to travel fora great distance over
a lengthy period they are some-
times packed in honey.
In India a mixture of honey and
milk, or equal parts of curds and
clarified butter, is the usual offer-
ing made to a bridegroom on his
arrival at the door of the bride's
father. One of the purification
ceremonies of the Hindus consists
of placing a little honey in the
mouth of a new-born baby.
Honey should not be clear like
syrup, for that means the pollen
has been strained out of it, and it
is the pollen that provides the
Vitamin C, a vital ingredient.
And don't throw your jar of
honey away if it candies or crys-
tallizes. Only ripe honey will can,
dy, and it can easily be liquefied
again if you like it that way by
standing the jar in hot water.
