that the Houston ball club was Eo- ing bad. One day I met oliver French, the business manager of the St Joe club.
 Say, Oliver, you'll be losing me one of these days. I'm headed for Houston pretty soon."
 Get Ready, Houston! Here I Come Oliver laughed but he knew was right. Two days later he gets wire to send mo to Houston right away. They needed Q winning pitcher.
 I landed in Houston two morn ings later and pitched that night
 Me and Tony Kaufman were the big shots. When either of us pitched we packed 'em in. Tony was a pretty fair pitcher with a fast ball that went big under the lights. So to edge him out in popularity, had to do some tall CTS.
 In 10 games (85 innings) fan- ned 95 men, won eight games and lost two. I wouldn't have dropped those two if the rest of the team had been playing anything but backgammon or charades. At St Joe I won IT, lost eight. famed 134 and gave 204 hits. Send Up That Dizzy Guy
 Just before the season closed Branch Hickey sent word down that he needed some pitchers if the Cards was to win the pennant.
 II want Dizzy Dean up here right away" he wired.
 Me and Tony Kaufman left to join the Cards, who were playing in New York at the time. All the way up there I was a happy guy at last on my way to the big show, and only 1S years old. What a great future this old world held! All had to do was pitch ball. TOMORROW: Dizzy Crosses

JIMMY SULLIVAN
 TO FIGHT GAMER
 AT CAPITOL PARK

Hartford, Aug 31-Al Gainer of New Haven, state light heavy weight and heavyweight champion, will have reached the peak of phy- sical perfection for his 10-round bout with Jimmy Sullivan of Flor ida and New York, slated for showing at Capitol park, on Tues day evening, September 8, if the dusky favorite's daily training work at the Elm City gym in New Haven is any criterion.
 Semi- Final Bout
 Carded as a supporting number to the Kaplan-Pilkington Con- necticut lightweight championship fight on the card arranged by Pro- moter Al Weill for the benefit of the women's auxiliary of the Mt Sinai hospital, the Gainer-Sullivan setto bids fair to attract as much interest as many ordinary star bouts.
 Gainer will have head start on Sullivan in the matter of condi- tioning as the state champion is already hard at work for his scheduled return fight with Bob Olin of New York, at the White City stadium, Savin Rock, on next Tuesday evening, and 8 visit to the New Haven gym will reveal Al in action, batting sparring mates around with reckless abandon.
 Sullivan, a seeker of first water, intends to allow no grass to grow under his feet in the matter of getting into shape for this, one of the most important battles of his career. If Gainer Is sailing along under the impression that the Florida fighter is going to fall a victim to his lethal punches in the first few rounds, he had better speedily rid his mind of the idea.
 KayOed Larrivee
 State fans will recall that a couple of years back, this same Sullivan knocked Leo Larrivee of Waterbury fiatter than a mackerel with a terrific right to the jaw, and from all accounts, Jimmy still totes exactly the same maulie that caused Leo to dream a little dream of him.
 Tickets for the benefit battles have already gone on sale and with a seating capacity of 1000, twelve ringside boxes are obtain able at $50 each. along with $500 seats at $3, 1,500 seats at $2, and 1000 seats at $1.

ONLY ITO 5CHOICE TO
 BEAT KID BERG

Despite the history of their last bout, when Tony CanZoneri re- tained his worlds lightweight championship by beating Jack Kid Berg in the third round of their bout by a knockout, Tony Is only a z to shot to again beat the busy Briton in their next bout of fifteen rounds, which will take place at the Polo Grounds a week from next Thursday.
 The reason is that the New York fans remember the first meeting between the pair last winter. Then Tony was not the champion. He was just hopeful like Berg. They went ten rounds and 1t Is question ing as he did that time. But the Brooklyn Italian is made of the stuff of champions. He wasn't de- jected by that defeat. He kept on going and little later got that match with Champion Al Singer and won the title by crashing Al to the floor in the first round.
 Then to clear his sheet of the mark against 1t he gave Berg the chance to repeat Jacks first show ing and to win the worlds title. But Jack Kid couldn't do it. He was stopped and now Tony is giv- ing him another chance to prove conclusively that the Chicago knockout was not a fuke.
 But New Workers cannot under stand 1t all and cannot see how any man can whip Jack Kid Berg with a knockout. That's why they figure the bout may go the limit and Berg will get the decision. Were the two just fighters and neither holding a title, there is lit- tie doubt but that Berg would be 8 slight choice to win this fight next week.

 While I was a prized member of the St Joe baseball club I had a funny run-in with Branch Hickey or the Cardinals at Shawnee where we were working out prior to the start of the season. Here I was. a valuable piece of St Louis baseball property and Branch didn't even know me. And I didn't know him.
 One day in the lobby of the hotel l was talking to a girl. Some man came up to me and asked me my name.
 What! You Don't Know Dizzy?
 Huh, you must be stranger here, aren't you?" I said. I'm Dizzy Dean, the pitcher"
 "Oh!" he said, 50 you're Mir
 Nope" I answered, "not Mir Dean or Dean or J. H. Dean, but just Dizzy Dean."
 Think you'll ever get to the majors?" this chap asked.
 Well" said I, eff this guy Branch Hickey ever wakes up to the fact that he has a real pitcher down here I'll get there mighty quick"
 You don't think much of MT Rickey's judgment, do you?"
 Well, some day I'll meet him and tell him what think" l said.
 The man spoke up and says, Well, you've met him now. I am Branch Rickey."
 "Huh!' I said. "So you're the man who shunted me up to this bush league, are you?"
 Branch said. "Yeh, what of it?"
 Then I saAd, Well, you're a darn smart baseball man."
 Easy on the Gals, Dizzy
 Branch cautioned me about go- ing with two many girls. But Branch didn't know the problem I had to face. All these nice- looking young ladies offering dates and chances for entertainment sure worried me.
 Along about July 1, I noticed

Children Like
 to Take Risks Seem to. Like Dropping From Wall to Side-
 walk

One or two children a day, some times more, take 8 tumble from the wall at Washington park to the side walk. So far none of then suffered serious injuries, but you never can tell what a bump such as these youngsters receive may develop. Of course, they have no right to walk on the wall, but every body knows children like to take risks.
 It would not cost much to put rough surface on that wall and thus do away with the danger children run romping on it.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 17.-Presi-

of Wisconsin, Governor Phillip F.
La Toilette and sixteen Wisconsin
university professors were charged
with Social!stic and Communistic
teachings in bitter campus adj
dress by John B. Chapple, Ashland,
Wis, newspaper editor.
Chapple, who attended the uni
versity here ten years ago, but
graduated from Yale and then
visited Russia and other European
nations, denounced Frank as "a
soap box orator with his face
washed"
He assailed campus influences
that he termed destructive to reli-
gion, morals and the capitalist
economic system, naming sixteen
university professors in the address
which was given under auspices of
the newly organized Student
League for Defense of American
principles"
Despite frequent cheering for
professors he attacked, and voci-
ferrous open forum questioning,
Chapple maintained his demand for
a house cleaning of enemies of the
existing social and economic order
who are living off the taxpayers"

they put those taking part in the
discussion somewhat 'in the hole"
For the discussion group was COM

Both the opening session Monday
afternoon and the meetings today
were devoted to new problems in
food sanitation which have cropped
up during the depression period.
one OF these problems is what to
do about the doughnut. It was
pointed out that unemployed per-
sons have gone in for making
doughnuts and other food products
IN the uninspected kitchens of their
homes.
They are distributing them in
baskets and other containers I'M

AT all such times the falling
price levels tend to production of
products that are cheapened so as
to border on adulteration. Then the

where any sort of unhealthful and
insanitary conditions may prevail"
All present admitted that it is
difficult to cope with the problem
and its solution lies largely in the
return Of prosperity.
