LOS ANGELES. July 26.-The

today when the squad puts on
pads for the first time and starts
the rough work.
If a couple of players like
Addie Brink. who stands 6 feet

to expectations, the team will
have more height in the deep

gram from Johnny Murphy,
you never would have made it
unless I had thrown you that
fast ball." wired the former
Yankees relief pitcher.
Funny how little things will
stick in your mind over a long
career" Hank said. THAT in
cident stands out in his mind
and I can recall it as if it was
yesterday. I guess Joe DiMaggio
will never forget it, either.
There was nothing particu-
larly important about it," Hank
continued. "As far as the fans
were concerned. it was another
home run, but it had special
significance for Murphy, Di-
Maggie and myself.
Murphy had been pitching
against me for seven years. In
all that time he never threw me
a fast ball-not one"
Hank pointed to a cocktail
napkin, a tidbit thing folded in
quarters. THAT was his plate
when he was pitching to me, "
Greenberg said, land he pitched
to half of 1.-THE outside half
He was pitching away from my
power and he could shave that
plate so close he'd drive me crazy
trying to figure whether the ball
would nick an inch of the plate
or be an inch outside.
"Well. in Detroit one day we
knocked out the Yankees starter
and Murphy comes in from the
bullpen in centerf1eld to pitch to
me. I noticed he stopped on the
way in to have a few words with
DiMag in center but it didn't
strike me as being unusual
Thought maybe Joe was saying
Get that big baboon out OF

"He got two quick strikes on
me. AS usual, they were curves
nipping the outside corner.
Il was right on top of the
plate, looking for that curve
again. But Murphy cut loose
with a fast ball. the only one he
had ever thrown me. That thing
looked as big as a blimp coming
up there. Right down my alley

for this one.'

thing entirely unknown. When
you have this preliminary knowl-
edge, the Bible is neither contra
dictory nor confusing.
The books of the Bible were
given by God through writers who
addressed themselves to people
who already possessed faith in God
and to whom the divinely revealed
message was, to some extent, al
ready known. These books seek TO
explain and confirm this message
and TO induce readers TO conform
their lives to it. They were GER
tainly not intended to teach all of
Gods revealed truth TO those who
were learning it for the first time.
The Bible, properly understood,
can exert a tremendous power for
good in your personal and family
life. But to understand it, you
should know something about
those who wrote the Bible and
important questions concerning
its intelligent use which are an

Many people maintain that the
Bible is SO simple and clear that
anyone can understand it.
Yet today the Christian world
is divided into conflicting opin-
ions as to what the Bible means.
Sincere and equally learned Bible
scholars take different meanings
from the same words, and there
are many Christian sects which
disagree on basic Bible questions.
The average Christian who
wants to understand the Bible,
finds all this confusing. wonder
ing which Interpretation TO ac-
cept, whom to believe. The result
is that the Bible often gathers dust
on the family bookshelf, when it
should be bringing joy to the
hearts of men.
Catholics, of course, join with
Christians everywhere in recog-
nizing the complete Bible as the
inspired Word of God. 1t could
not be otherwise, for it was the
Catholic Church which assembled
the books of the Bible nearly 1000
years ago, and which preserved its
precious message on parchment
for a thousand years before the
invention of the printing press.
1t is unfortunate, however, that
some of the most devoted Bible
readers do not understand it. AS
matter of fact, Holy Scripture is
seldom correctly understood I'M
less we have certain preliminary
knowledge concerning Gods re-
vealed truth.
In writing the New Testament,
its authors took into account that
a knowledge of Gods revelation
already prevailed. The books they
wrote were intended to instruct
and confirm teachings already
