"SALADA D)TEA "Beyond Belief-Until YouVe Seen Her" By Peter Ronald Witliout a doubt the world's greatest all-round athleteâ€" and a woman, at that! She's Mrs. Mild- red l)ldricl^^on /nh.irias â€" to give her the full, official title she seldom hears â€" l)ui far better known in sports circles as Babe Uidrickson or jiinply Tlic Babe. "She is beyond belief until you sec her in action," Grantland Rice once put itl and then that highly experienced sports observer went on to say that she is the most flaw- Icsi. example of complete physical and mental co-ordination sport has even known. Admittedly, that'> a claun which takis in plenty of territory, but it's one fully backed up by the tacts. For in the past 17 years or so Babe Djdrickson lias broke(i more records and held more championships than an.v man or woman in s-ports ist- ory. She pk\f.'= up a new game in about the time it would lake the average person to learn how to spell it. The first time she had golf club in her hands she made a drive of over 2C0 yards. In her initial essay at ten-pin bowling she scored 170. She is expert at swimming, skating, billiards, diving, trap-shoot- ing, pool, tennis, basketball, track and golf, besides a few others we've overlooked or forgotten. Yes, be- yond belief i not putting it any too strongly. Early Start Born, in I'JKi, at Beaumont, Tex- as, it was at High Sc'ool in that city that her exceptional athletic â- kill first really attracted public notice â€" olthough it is rumored that long before she wag v\'inning marble championship'^ in competition with the boys. At High School she made the baseball, basketball, volleyball, ten- nis and swimming teams; and it was during an inter-school basketball game that she came under the eye of the coach of the Golden Cyclones, a team sponsored by a Dallas in- Babe Didricksot: surance company. Although he was at the game to "scout" an entirely different player, he promptly gave The Babe a job vith his firm. Al- most immediately The Cyclones started a winning streak that carried then to a national title. Sensational She was the sensation of the 1933 Olympics, held at Los Angeles. In the face of competition from all parts of the world she went on the Held overflowiii" with confidence, and boasting that she'd "show them something". But it was well-found- ed confidence, as she won both the javelin throw and hurdles d placed second in the high jump with a leap of S feet S inches. (Try it yourself some time and >ee how high it is.) Then came the first real set- back. A few months after the Olympics were ver the Amateur Athletic Unionâ€" the same setup that made trouble for our own Barbara A;tn Scottâ€" suspended The Baba ISSUB 33 â€" 1946 because she had allowed her name to be used in connection with an automobile advertisement. Tbo'igh the official reason was breach of mateur laws, The Babe haJ her own ideas of vhy she was actually penalized. "1 come from the wrong side of the tracks." she is quoted as saying in the tough, boyish speecli she used at that period, "and those guys don't want me beating all the rich dames." On The Suge Now tabbed r^ a professional, she went into vauderv'le with an act that included running on a treadmill, hurdlin, and even a -.pot of mouth-organ playing. The next summer she pitched for The House of David baseball team until she got weary of looking at the heavy crop of chin-foliage her male 'eam- mates wore. She then toured with her own basketball team, and 3;ave exhibitions of billiards, bowling and golf. Of the money she made â€" which wasn't much as such things go now â€" the major portion went to her family. It was around 1933, while still engaged in the barnstorming stuff, that the golf bug really bit her. "I want to be the greatest woman golf- er in the world" she told a young California golf instructor. Less than a week later she was outdriving her teacher by as much as 30 yards. "But she didn't gel where she is just through natural ability" this instructor will tell you "She really worked. She'd get out on the prac- tice tee at 9 in the morning and often stay till midnight, hitting as many as 1500 balls a day, until her hands were raw and bleeding." A Love Match While playing in an exliibition match she was introduced to George Zaharias, a 290-pound wrestler formerly well known to Canadian grunt-and-groan addicts in many centres. It was a case of love at first sight. Within a few months they were married, George giving up the mat to become a sport pro- moter in Denver while The Babe abandoned touring to concentrate on home life â€" and golf. Her long game had always been good but she was somewhat weak on approaching and putting. So she practiced, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, until she could play chip shots to the pin and sink 20-foot putts with as little trouble as she slammed 250- yard drives off the tee. Reinstated, by this time, by the amateur folks, she started out on her winning ways. And in 17 straight major tourna- ments she trampled roughshod over the world's best women golfers, ending up by sailing for Scotland to win the British Amateur hands down. Nowâ€" The Money Like the aforementioned Barbara Ann, by now The Babe had cleaned up just about everything in sight. There were no more worlds for' her to conquer. So nobody got much of a shock when she decided to turn professional for a second time. She was to get $300,000 for making a scries of movie shorts; and what with radio appearances, advertising tieiips and one thing or another, she is scheduled shortly to become not only the greatest, hut also the wealthiest, of all women athletes, or reasonable fac- simile thereof. When she was a kid The Babe hated fine clothes, silk stockings, lipstick â€" anything feminine. When school was over she climbed into overalls and played with the boys. When she went to the Olympics she wore ridiculous clothes, clown- ed, and talked rough. Now, when somebody reminds her of those days, she is very unhappy. For right after her very happy marriage she changed completely. She visited beauty parlors and hair- dressers and bought modish clothes. Today, at 35, she stands five feet seven, weighs 145, and looks like a fashion advertisement. Her per- sonality is magnetic â€" and where- ever she plays the crowds mill around so closely that she has a hard time taking a full swing. But she loves it all, and the bigger the crowd the happier she is. And per haps her greatest triumph came just recently when the managers of the Open Golf Tournamentâ€" Men'sâ€" refused to accept her entry. They weren't afraid that she'd win the Men's Open, because they know she isn't that good. But they also know that The Babe is so good that in all probability there would be a whole tot down below her on the list when the final results were, posted â€" some real stars among them. And that would be very bad â€"even embarrassingâ€" -from a strict- ly male point of view.

Could you help me? There are many clues which indicate literary ability. A few of them are outlin- ed here so that readers may compare these signs with their own handwrit- ing. Intuition is a strong indication of adaptability for writing; but al- though this is a good quality to have, it Inust be backed op with imagination. A combination of these may be seen in this week's script Intuition is shown by the frequent breaks between the letters of a word, and imagination by the well rounded loops above the writing line. Another good sign is the figure- of-eight letter "g" which is a sign of fluency of thought, g:ving the writer continuity in expression. These three signs are all splendid cxafnples of writing ability, especi- ally along journalistic lines. With proper training, there should be a good measure of success in this ^eld. ^ » Anyone wtshtnn a mart complett analysis please send self-addressed, stamped envelope to Alex S. Arnott, 123. mh Street. New Toronto 14. Busy Bee Like a bee flitting from flower to flower, the little woman passed along the shabby street, pausing at every open door for a few words with the occupant. Mrs. Green, watching her for a while, turned to Mrs. White and said: "Busy little party, ain't she? Al- ways running up and down." "You're right," replied Mrs. White acidly. "What with running up bills, and running down the neigh- bours, she don't have much spare time." Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q.

It is extremely impolite not to do so. Q. If one is receiving an invita- tion by telephone, would it be all right to say, "I'll let you know this evening, or tomorrow"? A. No. This kind of invitation must be accepted or declined with- out a moment's hesitation. Q.

Barclay Warren Andrew, the Man who Brought Others John 1:37-42; Mark 1:16-18; John 12:20-22. Golden T«ftâ€" He brought him to Jesus. â€" John 1:42. Andrew is the type wlio to-day is appointed director of personnel relationsâ€" affable, easy to approach and observant. Pride does not hinder him from discovering a man of greater ability than himself. Rather he is humble, and glad to "lill in" wherever possible. We need more Andrews in the Kingdom of God to-day Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. But when John pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God." Andrew followed iesus. John had done his work well in preparing the vay for Jesus. It was a compliment to John that Andrew left him. Andrew spent the night with Jesus, then he proceeded to find his brother Peter and bring him to the 1 .Messiah. I'cter was more of a leader than Andrew. He preached the sermon at Pentecost which led to the conversion of threa thousand. Two of his letters are ie the Holy Bible and it is generally believed that the Gospel according to St. Mark was largely dictated lljr Peter. Peter wis a bright light But it ought to be remembered that he was introduced to Jesus by fab brother. When Jesus wanted to feed the hungry multitude it was Andrew who said: 'There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes." Also it was to him that Pl.illip brought the new* of the Greeks who wished to see Jesus. Peter and his cousins James and John were the three whom Jesna tool( with him on some speciat occasions. Whenever a fourth was chosen of the twelve, it was always Andrew. He wasn't one of the three but he made a good fourth. The fact that he could be left out sometimes and not sulk further illustrates the greatness of hn character. Andrew waS not illustrious. Bdt in his quiet unassuming way he brought men to Jesus.
