SKVKN American league cities' , !ub owners and managers, are aln-. v wondering how they are go ;o ke?P the Yankees from an 0tlu t ' I'innion canter next season. Su far tliey liaven't found the an swet Maybe there isn't any answer. There is certainly no solace at | ?, 1 m suggesting that the Yankees are growing old. The vital statistics show that a ball player's prime is somewhere between 26 and 30. It is here lie has the combina tion of youth and experience linked together. For ex ample. Ty Cobb was 26 when he had his greatest season in 1911 ? when he bat ted .420. How does this comvrn the Yankees? Well. liiMaggio is 27, Gordon is 2K. Killer Keller is 25, Henrich is '>5. Itiziuto is 23, Sturm is 25. and Bflnliam, Kusso, Donald and Breuer are all under 29. It's true that William Malcolm Dickry, better known as Arkansas Bill, is 34. But Dickey, always in erudition, is good for 80 or 90 games, ai : Buddy Rosar, Dickey's under study. is only 27. Red Rolfe is 33. Rulling and Gomez are no longer in the kid class. But Priddy is i nly 22, and there is some first cl.i :alent coming up from Newark and Kansas City. The Yankee;, in the main, are still a young team ? a team that is in its active prime. And there is still Joe McCarthy at the head with his team blending influence. No wonder the other American league Huhs are in a sadly baffled frame of mind. For while the Yankees have been mauling all National league rivuls witu considerable gusto, they also hav ? been mauling their own league just as lustily. I Croat Second Basemen Joe Gordon's performance in the iast World series will more than hold its place when the Hot Stove league opens its winter session. In Gordon's case it might be re membered that he is still a young i fellow, with 8 to 10 seasons left in his wiry system, and this is too soon to compare him with the masters of : the past. In this masters list you'll find Nap Lajoie, Eddie Collins, Frank Frisch, Rogers Hornsby ? and these four are enough. Lajoie, the most graceful of all ball players, was also a normal .350 hitter. Eddie Collins was faster than the big Frenchman and in ad dition was a .340 or .350 hitter. j Hornsby was the best hitter of the lot with a consecutive four-year mark above .400. Bill Hanna, one of the wisest of all she baseball experts, always ranked Hornsby and Ed nelehanty as the two greatest right handed hitters of all time ? not even barring Wagner and Lajoie. Frank Frisch was another great second baseman, fast, aggressive, smart, and dangerous at bat. It would be foolish to start ranking Gordon, in his fourth big league season, with these veterans who starred for 15 or 20 years each. I'll say in behalf of Gordon, however, that on the defense he can mako Plays I don't believe any other sec ond baseman could match. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson Hy HAROLD L.

Sin with its devastating conse quences has its only remedy in the salvation which is in Christ Jesus. He died to set us free from the pen alty, the power, and ultimately the very presence of sin. However. His death, which was for all mankind, is effective only for those who in repentance and faith accept His re deeming grace and turn from sin. I. Worldly Pleasure Brings Sor row (vif 11-16). Selfishness is at the heart of sin, which is essentially self-will over against God's will. The younger son, who represents the sinner, wanted his own way. He suffered from 1. Restlessness Under Restraint Cvv. 11, 12). The father loved bis son and sought his welfare by prop er parental control, but the boy wanted to be free to live as he pleased. God loves all men and seeks by loving and gracious re straint to lead them in ways of righteousness and peace. But they, while they want His blessings, are often eager to get away from His guiding hand. 2 A Request Resulting in Respon sibility (vv. 12, 13). When the prodi gal asked for his inheritance he took upc- himself full responsibility for itf jso. The man who refuses to hii . e Christ rule over his life as sumes a grave and heavy burden which he is not able to bear. It is an awful thing to rule God out of one's life, to attempt to steer a successful course through the stormy sea of life. Why do it? It will always result in loss and failure. 3. Riotous Living Leading to Re proach (vv. 13-16). In the "far coun try" he found for a time what we call "fun," but it led to bitter sor row. To the flesh there are "pleas ures of sin" (Heb. 11:25), but they are only "for a season"; that is, "very short lived ? and they come high. 'The devil is not such a fool as to go fishing without bait.' The pleasures of sin are the devil's bait, and they always have a hook in them. If you bite at the devil's bait you will soon have the devil's hook in your gills and be in the bottom of the devil's boat" (John W. Brad bury). The end of Satan's "fun" road was a pigpen in a far country. That may not always be literally true (al though it happens often enough), but it is always true spiritually. Men and women are in a state of spir itual collapse and disgrace because they have rejected God's way. But there is a way out. II. Godly Sorrow Brings Joy (vv. 17-24). , Paul tells us that "godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation" and thus differs from "the sorrow of the world" which "worketh death" (II Cor. 7:10). The prodigal found his way back to the father's house. First, there came to him 1. Remembrance and Realization (vv. 17-19). He began to think. If men and women could only be made to think we would have more re pentance, but Satan tries to keep them too busy to think. He remem bered what he had as a son in his father's household. What memories will your boy have in his hour of need? You are writing that record now. 2. Repentance and Return (vv. 20, 21). To repent means to change your mind, to turn your life in an "about face" from sin to God. Re pentance calls for more than think ing or talking or praying. One must act. The young man "arose and came to his father." That was his part, and then came the father's ? 3. Restoration and Rejoicing (vv. 22-24). The son expected to return as a hired servant, but his father restored him to full family fellow ship. God is gracious, and the re pentant sinner finds himself clad in the spotless robe of Christ's right eousness. wearing the ring of son ship, with shoes on his fret, so that he may go on the errands of his Father. God's plan of salvation brings no half-way redemption. There are no stepsons or distant relatives in His family. It is a full salvation which brings glorious fellowship in life and service. You who jre still eating the husks ol this world, who arc in the far country tending swine, we invite you j >oo to come to God and share in the I reioicP'! in the Father's house. About Third Basemen In any event, there are no third basemen now around who even can be compared with the best of other years ? Jimmy Collins of Boston, Bill Bradley of Cleveland, Buck Weaver of the White Sox, to mention only three. Collins, a fine artist, was also a normal .330 hitter? almost as grace ful at third as Lajoie was at second. Buck Weaver is Ty Cobb's all time pick and Buck isn't far away from the top. Red Rolfe, in better health, might have been a closer challenger. EfTicicncy can also be costly at tinges. For example, there are the Yankees. They have needed just Rames to win their last eight "'orld series competitions. If they had been somewhat less elhcient and had needed the full seven-came quota to win their titles, these eight World series contests would have required 56 games.
