Bevens' No-Hitter
Smashing Double In Ninth
Edges Out Victory For
Flatbush Crew

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 -UH-
Cookie Lavagetto, an old man
with one leg in retirement,
broke up a no-hit ball game to-
day when two were out in the
ninth inning and gave the bat
ting Brooklyn Dodgers a 3 to
Y victory over the New York
Yankees that squared the World
Series at two games all.
It was one of the widest and
most hectic finishes in the his
tory of the classic, with Lava
getto blasting Bill Bevens' al
most-but-not-quite bid for the
first no-hit game in World
Series history, with a crashing
double off the right field wall
which sent two young Dodgers
racing over the plate with the
runs that won the ball game.
So Cookie, the "old man" who
had been offered the manager
ship of a minor league team
this year, was rewarded for his
faith in himself. When they
tried to retire him, he told
them eve got one more year
of baseball left in these old
bones"
He proved It with that one
Dodger hit Of the game which
changed almost certain defeat
into victory.
Bevens through eight and
two-thirds tense innings batfled
the Dodgers - a team which
keynotes youth and speed. The

fated to lose one-run games.

'HOthOuse' Lamb
By the Chef

From now until the end of March,
luxury markets should be able to
supply you with that delicacy Of
delicacies, "hothouse" lamb. If your
pocketbook can bear the strain, you
can feast upon the most delicious OF
meats There's something spring
like about any lamb-but this little
n1orsel Is truly vernal!
"Hothouse" is the most luxurious
of the four definite classifcations
of lamb. The others are spring
lamb, yearling and mutton. Hot
house lamb, produced under arti-
fetal conditions for the carriage
trade" is young. unweaned sheep
which has never grazed, and costs
about three times as much per
pound as does spring lamb. In
some cities it is called baby spring
lamb rather than hothouse, but
they are one and the same. The
flesh is white and extremely deli
cate, and the cooking time is con-
siderably shorter than that required
for the older animals.
Spring lamb is from 2 months
to l year old, and when it is the
real thing it is very sweet and
tender. 1t usually comes on the
market in April, May and June
Yearling lamb is from II to Il
months old, costs good deal less
than spring lamb. BY the time q
sheep is years old it becomes mutt
ton. cheapest of all. However, here
In America, nearly all of the sheep
Evening star., 1947-01-17

marketed are lambs: our British
friends are the real mutton con-
sumers. France likes mutton, too.
In general, cuts of spring and
yearling lamb consist of the leg, the
sirloin roast, which is a boneless
roll from the sirloin section, a crown
roast-fne for dinner parties, sew
eral types of shoulder roastS which
are good eating but not so fine as
the leg or the other fancier roasts.
There are four kinds of chops-loin,
with highest quality meat; English
loin, cut across entire loin and
wrapped around kidney; rib,
usually frenched, with very small
percentage of delicious meat, and
expensive, and the shoulder chop.
poorest of the lot. Shoulder, breast
and shank meat are best for stews,
patties, and so on.
Another cut that many people do
not know are the little lamb steaks
or outlets, cut from the top Of the
hindquarter, like veal outlets. These
are delicious and tender, and take
nicely to broiling. You should buy
one per person, and there is no
waste, so they are really economical.
If you should decide to splurge
for a dinner party some time, and
serve your guests that wonderful
hothouse lamb we started out with,
drop me a line in care of this paper,
and I'll gladly send you the recipe
for cooking it.
