*Olympic javelin and 80m sprint champion Babe Didrikson Zaharis makes her first professional basketball appearance, scoring 9 points for the Brooklyn Yankees in a 19-16 win over the Long Island Ducklings. An equally gifted golfer, she later helped found the Ladies Professional Golf Association in order to provide the then-handful of professional women golfers with a tournament circuit.

Her motto? "Loose your girdle and let'er fly!"

Had English test. Went over to Helen’s for baked chicken dinner. Told ghost stories. Dinner was sure good.

*Baked chicken and dressing

Cut 3-4 pound chicken into desired pieces, cover with water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and stew until tender. Remove bones and set chicken aside until dressing is prepared. Save broth for dressing.

For the dressing combine 3 cups crumbled cornbread, 1 1/2 cups toasted biscuit crumbs, and 1 medium size onion chopped fine. Mix with chicken broth. Be sure to use enough to keep dressing moist. Stir in 4 raw eggs and some chopped celery and mix thoroughly. Add 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs. Last, add rubbed sage, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Combine stewed chicken with dressing and bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 30 minutes.
