THAT Sunday I went into the
l. box. Wichita Falls, hard
hitting bunch, we're our opponents.
They tried to razz me about getting
sent back to the minors. I walked
over to the bench and declared my
self to 'em.
'Lissen, you birds! Just for that
you get only three hits. I'm gonna
shut you out and fan twelve of you"
When the game was over, we had
won 2 to 0 and gave 'em three
hits and I famed eleven.
1t was just a breeze from then
on. My next two games were shut
outs. Then I win one more hands
down. We breeze into Dallas and
I'm set to pitch the Sunday game.
It's just breeze until the ninth.
You've probably read about me
and ALT Todd having f1ght-rather
he had the scrap, since I never had
a chance to do any fighting. That
row has been explained in a lot of
ways, but here is my version of it
and guess I ought to know. I'm
the one who got socked on the jaw
The score is IL, favor Houston, in
the ninth. No one was one base
and two were out. Todd, Dallas
catcher, was at bat. He got one hit
previously and had been razzing me
all during the game. Here was my
chance to make him like it, since we
were away out in front, no one on
and two out.
I didn't try to bean him as some
scribes said. did try to dust him
off, however. I pitched two close
ones at him. After the second ball
he came dashing out of the batter'S
box chattering at me. I figured he
was coming out to argue and
laughed at him. think I told him
to go on in there and not be- afraid,
or something.
Suddenly he let fly punch that
caught me on the side of the face.
went down. The blow didn't hurt.
it just caught me off my balance.
When I got up he hit me again
And then the cops came.

Belated entry of Cyril TolIev.

has raised the discussion among
many players as to whether he
should be permitted to play.
Tolley did not compete in the pre-

nor did he signify his intention of
entering the tournament at the
proper time as did John and Alaric
De Forest, the two English PLAYERS
who were invited to compete with

field will be increased to 1873 PLAYERS.

CHAPTER NINE

CHAP 1EifG NINE
I'm an exhibition game during the
L. spring training period I beat
Cincinnati 5-4 when I relieved an
other pitcher in the fifth inning.
The big leaguers looked easy. Then
I beat the Phillies just as easy.
After these wins was sure of stick
ing.
We worked our way up north and
played the Browns in the city series.
1 pitch one of these games and get
beat. The change from the balmy
Florida climate to the severe st.
Louis weather affected my control.
Then came the opening of the
season. I figured should get the
opening day shot but Street called
on Flint Rhem. Rhem won hands
down. After that, every day I had
hopes of getting in there, but I
didn't.
One day Gabby, who seldom
spoke to me at that time, said for
me to report to the Office. 1 figured
it was just another fine or a lee
ture or sermon or something which
I was used to by that time. I got
there and Mr.. Hickey was there He
hands me a telegram. 1t reads:
Fred Ankenman, Houston Base
ball Club. paid Dizzy Dean will
join your club Immediately.
II took me a couple of minutes to
get this. I was stunned. Another
setback, and I knew it was unfair
because I knew I was a great
pitcher.
THAT means I go back to Hous-
ton?" I asked.
Yep" said Hickey.
That was all there was said.
r WALK out of the Office. I'm
l. mad, but when I get mad it's
different from other guys. know
I'm good. I know, too, that all the
Setbacks they give me will not keep
me out of the big league. It's just
question of time and I'm ending
up my nineteenth year.
There were just two things to do.
Either I go down there and pitch
ball or quit baseball and leave the
Cards fiat. If I quit I'm beating
myself out of a lot of dough, which
doesn't amount to much. I am also
cheating myself out of the chance
to do what I know I can do-be-
come a great big league pitcher.
Fred Ankenman, President of
the Houston Bluffs. I'm leaving here
today, will arrive Sunday morning.
Pitch me Sunday afternoon and it's
cinch I'll win. Dizzy Dean"
That went over big with the
Houston scribes. They plaster it all
over the papers and when step of
the train I see headlines about
Dizzy Dean promising victory and
all that. This made me forget st
Louis. Anyway, the Texas League
] is just as fast as the big league.
