On How to Serve Christmas Turkey

A PhilosOphic Discussion
On How TO Serve Christmas Turkey
To the EDITOR Of The star:
This weekend . lot Of husbands will have
their perennial struggle with the Christmas
turkey. The women's pages Of all papers are
full Of hints on cooking and serving the bird.
but further hint on serving might be useful.
After cutting of the lower joint. separate
the thigh from the drumstick, hold 1t up
(the drumstick) and say, who wants thlsf"
Nobody will answer, so you have to tell EN-
not to be bashful. that you know it's choice
morsel, and you want to give 1t to some one
who really appreciates It. You'll md that
somebody will speak up. and II you do good
selling Job you may unload both legs at the
same time.
Now take of wing and repeat the sales
talk: II it is q small bird sell both wings at
the same time This will eliminate the eating
Of the wings IL something or other between
the turkey soup and the turkey hash some-
time the following week.
The books and the self-appointed experts
tell YOU to ask all your guests whether they
nrefer white meat or dark. Try it, and you
get yourself In trouble every time. Instead.
tust cut the thigh across the grain In sections
about ~ of m inch thick and slice the
breast In thin pieces to the best OF your
ability. Then take serving spoon and put
nice portion Of the dressing on plate. serve
two or three sections Of the dark meat next
to the dressing, and cover with the thin
slices OF white meat.
This disposes OF all the meat except the
part that extends in point from the lower
end Of the torso. I can't sell that hunk to my
family but other families may have other
ideas.
Good carving to you. -

The Ivy League relay is a

Yale. Dartmouth, Princeton.
Penn, Brown and possibly
Navy. Harvard will not COM
pete, and Columbia is on the
fence and may pass up the

Cornell registered a 3::l4 mile

of the champion Rice quartet

graduated last June, and Coach
Lou Montgomery isn't saying
whether their requirements
can carry the mail as well.
Track followers who know
Montgomery are confident he'll
have a top-flight team on the

Yale, defending champion in
the Ivy League Relay, is ex-
pected to be better than last

the Ellis to repeat. This will
be the first visit Of Princeton

Red Corrden's Baseball Career
Marked by Tieup With Winners
By John P. Carmichael

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-One of
the White Sox acquisitions at the
recent baseball meetings was John
(ReO Corriden, who will supplant
'Bing' Miller as coach for 1850.
Since that day. in 1910, when Cor
riden broke into the st. Louis
Browns lineup as a third baseman,
he has been wearing some sort OF
q uniform with distinction.
It Is almost 18 years since Red
came out of the American Assoc
iation to coach the Cubs. They
won a flag or two while he was
at Wrigley Field. In more recent
seasons he served Leo Durocher
as q coach at Brooklyn and under
'Bucky' Harris at New York. The
Dodgers and Yankees also won
pennants.
So If you can judge person by
the company he keeps. Coach Cor
riden has travelled with the upper
bracket and 1t won't do the
Sox any harm to be officially
associated with a gentleman OF
that character :. -!
Corriden comes to mind in con-
nection with the release Of figures
on the '49 American League bat
ting championship, which showed
George Kell, Tiger third-sacker,
nosing out Ted Williams 1929
to .3427. For lack Of one
more base hit, Williams missed
becoming the first A. L. hitter
since Ty Cobb to win the crown
three straight years. (Ted won
in ~ and ~ and in '47 and
'48.)
Cobb Sat Out 2 Games.
Back in 1910 this same Cobb and
Nap Lajoie were locked in q
rockin' -chair finish for batting
honors. The Tigers finished their
season In Chicago and Cobb, get
ting four hits in seven times up
the first two games. decided to
stay out of the final two games
and rest on his laurels. Cleveland
wound up in st. Louis.
Lajoie went to bat four times IN
the Saturday Brown-Indians game
and got only one hit. falling sew
eral points behind Cobb. But in
the Sunday double header (Cleve-
land won both games) Lajoie made
eight hits in as many trips to the
plate. One was a triple. One was
an outfield single. The other six
were bunts down the third-base
line.
There was great hue and cry.
Ban johnson, then head Of the
American League, was asked to
find out how it was that Lajoie.
in his 18th year in the loop and
not noted for base running speed,
could beat out six bunts?
Corriden was playing third for
the Browns that day, a rookie
fresh up from Omaha. Invest.ga-
ton proved that he had been
ordered by Manager Jack O'Con-.
nor to play Lajoie back on the
grass whenever the Cleveland Sec
ond baseman came up. Johnson
quickly absolyed Corriden Of any
blame. but he did order O'Connor
dropped.
Lajoie Missed Title After ALI.
The funny part Of it was that
the pilot" tif any to win the
batting title for Lajoie didn't
work because the final averages
showed Cobb in front, .355 to .354
and the Georgia Peach went
