Cobb-"Where would I rank
Dizzy Dean among the pitchers?
IL I think he is sure to finish in
the first five of all time-I mean up
with the Mattys and Johnsons and
Alexanders.
I'll tell you why I feel this way
about him. In addition to plenty on
the ball-speed, curve, control. cool
head-Dean is at his best in tough
SPOT. He can bear down when ne mas
to-and that's one of the main
things. The hot spots of the game
never worry Diz.
He still needs a few more years
to get his final ranking among the
all-time group, but it's my belief that
he will land there sure"
George M. Church (former tennis
star)-"The greatest tennis player
ever saw or played against? That's
simple. The name is Bill Tilden.
when Bill was in his prime I
don't think any one ever really knew
Just how good he was. He'd murder
you the first set and then practice
odd shots through most of the second.
He could let down, loaf. and come
back with the fastest rush ever saw.
I'm my opinion, Tilden played each
tennis stroke better than the special
lists could handle their main offering.
He not only never had weakness in
his prime days, but he also was a
great court general who knew how to
break down an opponents mental at
titude by continually crossing him.
ADD to all this power, speed and
amazing stamina. Remember, the
Bill Tilden they have been watching
lately has been playing topnotch ten

States and India.
east and west coasts, on the way to
Cape Town. We may hit Japan. They
play golf everywhere now.
In India many golf enthusiasts
make their own clubs out of wire and
wood, or steel and wire.
The best golf spot? I'd say South
Africa, with Australia and New Zea-
land close.
I'VE expect to travel something like
10000 miles-possibly ,000-before

Dutch Clark Detroit Lions)-"The
hardest man I ever tried to stop?
Bronko Nagurski- especially two Or
three years ago. Weighing around 220
pounds, he was like mass OF moving
steel. He always had high knee &C
tion and when one of those knees hap
pened to land, it was like stepping n
front of a pile-driver or big truck.
"It was dangerous to hit him head
on. I've seen 24o-pounders knocked
colder than a fish on ice.
"Old-timers who have seen most OF
them all tell me the Bronx was the
hardest man to stop that foot ball ever
knew. He didn't have to be elusive

the one man in foot ball who ran his

~LEVELAND, January 10
I There was a great deal Of ex-

high-keyed conversation to-
day in the Broadway-East Fffty-fith
street neighborhood where Joe Vos-
mix, new ST. Louis Browns outfielder,
snaggled his first fly ball.

didn't need another one as long as
Joe V0Smik was stationed out in left

along Broadway has been pretty in

Browns.
There was some talk here and
there about staying away from the

Perry Outrsnks Won Cramm.

1ChTy ouSkOuAS Won Nk1mms
PERRY'S wins at Wimbledon and
Forest Hills must give a slight
edge in ranking over Won Cramm,
whose unfortunate leg injury made
him helpless In the final match at
Wimbledon, kept him out Of the
United States championship and Of.
set his victory over Perry in Paris.
Both Perry and Won Cramm must
outrank Cochet. who had q notable
victory at Paris. beating both Plaa
and Ramillon to win the French
professional title. Cochet also beat
Stoefen twice and me once, but was
twice beaten by Stoefen and once by
me.
My opinion, after watching both
Cochet and Donald Bulge play, is
that Cochet would beat Bulge, and
I give him preference notwithstand-
ing Budge's great play in the Davis
Cup, his work at Wimbledon that
carried him to the semi-final, and his
great battle with Perry in the United
States championship final, when he
carried Perry to five sets, and was
within two points Of victory.

Vines Popular Pick Here.

7 WILL find little serious dispute,
except possibly in England, against
the placement OF Vines at the premier
position. The tremendous power of
his game, coupled with his consistence
of performance and remarkable stead
iness, combined with such speed, Is 50
generally recognized that he is ac-
claimed world champion in all Tennis
playing countries.
1t is going to be far harder to con.
vince skeptics about Hans Nusslein's
right to precede Fred Perry, yet I am
absolutely sure he is the superior of
the Englishman.
admit that two years ago, on an
inspired day, Won Cramm beat Nuss-
lein, yet did the same thing to Won
Cramm the same year. Since that
time Nusslein has steadily improved,
and has beaten Won Cramm consist
emily in Davis Cup training.
Nusslein has beaten Vines mors
times than any player except myself.
He gave Cochet but seven games in
three sets at Southport, England, and
easily crushed Martin Plaa and Robert
Ramillon. His consistency Of per.
formance is far greater than Perry's,
and in my opinion he must take pre-.
cedence over the Englishman.

Manners
of the
Moment

IF YOU have one of those husbands
who prefers light in the dining
room to charm, you might just as
we'll give up-about the candles, we
mean. You'll never cure him. He
will open every candlelighted meal
with some remark about how he can't
see what he is eating. He will do
this for years and years. And unless
you think you are sufficiently well
balanced to stand it, you might just
as we'll put your candlesticks in your
daughters hope chest right now and
trust that she will pick man who
appreciates candlelight.
However, if your man forgets to
grumble about the darkness at least
once week, we'd say there was some
hope. In that case you can try to
cure him. You might offer to give
him electricity for dinner once week
Cor maybe even twice. if he would
promise to take the candles stoically
during the rest OF the time.
Another good way Of weaving him
to candlelight is to start out with
more candles. Get candelabras that
hold three or five candles and use as
many as the table will stand. Then
If he prowls you can point out that
he's eating by 20-candlepower light,
or what have you, which is all he gets
In his favorite restaurant anyhow.
That will quiet him. Then as time
passes and the old man grows mel
lower you can withdraw q candel-
abra or two every 50 often. Before
he knows 1t he will be eating by the
soft light that you like best.
But as we said at first there's no
sense in trying to cure an incurable,
and you're the diagnostician.

Is Well-informed authority on tea.
Not only on tea is she well informed,
but in all phases of food. She studied
home economics and journalism at
Kansas State College in Manhattan,
where she later taught newspaper
writing for one year. Then Sam Pick

dio Service, needed nome economics
writer on his staff. Knowing her work
and her witty, scintillating style Of
writing, he offered her a position and
in 1927 the clever young journalist
who knew so much about food and
homemaking became a radio writer
for Uncle Sam.
Her talent and originality came
quickly to light in her new position.
She was soon assigned to write a Is
minute program for so stations five
days each week. The program featured
a series of skits called "Housekeepers'
Chats" in the leading role of which
was Aunt Sammy" who later became
one of the best-knoWn characters on

American homes. But after four years
with the Department Of Agriculture,
she left Government service tempo
rarily to write radio continuit. for
nationally known food company. And
after that came the realization of her
long-cherished ambition to seek the
origin of tea in its native haunts.
Il was royalty received in the Ori-
entail countries" she says, and was
escorted through tea fields and fac
tories by plantation supervisors, gen.
orally natives educated in the United
States" She interviewed importers
and exporters, growers and merchants
all people whose specially is pro-
ducing and distributing tea.
Even in America she found that
the exotic tea plant can be grown.
When l was in New York" Miss
Hemphill says, Il discovered that
Charles Eensley, tea buyer for a large
food company, has tea bush growing
in his own back yard. The bush has
to be coddled and pampered in VIM
ter, but still and all it's tea bush"
And she turns to an American chef
for the most appetizing cup of tea.
Il want to tell you,' she says, "how it
is breWed by a friend of mine, George
Rector, whose restaurant was one Of
the most famous in New York during
the Gay Nineties.'"
Have the water fresh and boiling
briskly,' says Mr.. Rector, mot lust
boiling, but galloping. snorting and
cavorting around inside the kettle.
Boiling so furiously that a dense cloud
of steam pours out of the spout OF
the tea kettle When you think it is
boiling, boil 1t two minutes longer
just to make sure. Only briskly boil
ing water breaks up the coating that
seals the flavor in the tea Use one
level teaspoon of tea for each cup and
measure out one extra level teaspoon
for the pot. Use an earthenware pot
and scald it to make sure that it IS
hot. Pour the boiling water on the tea
and let it steep for three to five min

mediately."
