☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two main stories. "Schiff's Shoes" follows a nature-loving man whose hiking trip in the countryside results in mishaps involving livestock and an ant hill that interrupt his peaceful outing and lunch. "A Teen Timers Champion: Babe Didrickson" recounts the life and athletic achievements of Mildred Ella Didrickson, born in Texas in 1914, who earned the nickname "Babe" and went on to have a spectacular basketball career at Beaumont High School, play for the Employers Casualty Company team, and compete in track and field events, ultimately aiming for the 1932 Olympics where she entered as a one-woman team against the strongest women's athletic aggregations in the country.
When Rattles insists on appreciating nature during a country picnic, his pals Bee and Bop are more interested in the food—but Rattles' earnest wandering through the wilderness keeps landing him in increasingly hilarious trouble. As he desperately tries to work up an appetite to justify his lofty "nature boy" ideals, the Teen Timers discover that sometimes the best part of communing with nature is the chaos that follows.
A wealthy man lost in a desert sandstorm is rescued by Federal Marshal Jeff Mason, but the stranger's tale of a prospector killed in an Indian raid doesn't add up—the boot prints around Balanced Rock Chasm tell a very different story. When the truth about a years-long con scheme comes to light, Mason finds himself facing down the very gang behind it all in a tense showdown where quick thinking proves mightier than the gun.
Mildred Ella Didrickson earned her famous nickname and proved she wasn't just a one-sport athlete—the Texas tomboy dominated basketball, softball, and track before setting her sights on the 1932 Olympics. Despite being entered as a solo competitor against full teams of elite women athletes, Babe's confidence and all-around skill made her a force across multiple events, including javelin, hurdles, and the high jump. Her competitive fire didn't stop at track; she went on to excel in tennis, swimming, diving, and ultimately found her greatest passion in golf, where she became a champion tournament competitor.
