DIZZY IS HEADLESS,
WILD IN HIS TRIALS
Finds Big Leaguers Won't
"Bite" at Bad OneS-Worth
Seen in Carleton.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

~ RADENTON, Fla, March 10.
K The camp followers of
- the Cardinals, casting about
today for the answer to
what's wrong with Jerome Her
man Dizzy Dean, discovered at
least three reasons for the past
ing that the lanky rookie pitching
star has absorbed In his first two
exhibition starts.
Dean was as wild yesterday, when
the lowly Cincinnati Reds tapped him
1or runs in innings, as he was in
eHectlve against the Athletics at Miami
last Sunday. So far he has not shown
ANYTHING like the form expe:ted of him.
he has yielded IL hits and il runs in
innings.
Not Fooling Batters.
Dean blames the bad weather and
the fact that he has not vet repained

have seen him work and I know
what he can do.
This bad start may be the very best
thing for him, in a way. It will show
him what he has to do and help him
learn some lessons quicker. For exam

Meanwhile the sharps have begun
TO predict that James o. CTex) Carle-
ton, the Texas boy who was Deans
teammate at Houston, will be the best
OF the three rookie pitching stars SO
widely ballyhooed in the Cardinal camp
this Spring.
Carleton has been much more ef-
fecttve In his exhibition work than
either Dean or Ray Starr, the Roch-
ester recruit. Tex has convinced Gabby
Street he can use his head as well as
his right arm. Carleton won 20 and
lost with Houston last season, a rec
ord almost on par with Deans fig

ARMOUR AND DUDLEY

Tommy's Birdie Clinches Victory
Over Burke and Golden

MIAMI, Fla, March 10.-Tommy Ar

and chief spoils in Miani's $4,000 In
ternational four-ba1 tournament over
Billy Burke, national open champion,
and Johnny Golden of Noroton, Conn.
Armour sank birdie 4 on the thirty
fourth hole yesterday to end 3-and-2
match that the locker room dopesters
figured for Gene Sarazen and Johnny
Farrell, who were defeated in the semi
finals Tuesday by the champions.
Golden, with three brides and four
one-putt green's to the seventeenth,
gained help from Burke on the eight
eenth when the latter sank birdie
to square the match.
Dudley dropped birdie 8 on the
twentieth and sent his team l up,
holding the advantage until the twen-
ty-eighth, when Armour came back to
win with a pretty 6-foot putt. They
halved the twenty-ninth, thirtieth and

the thirty-second as both Armour and
Dudley sank approach shots In par
figures. All took IS on the thirty-third.
Armour went into the rough on the

Only One Good Year.

TN his nine years as a pro-
feSsional Berg has had Just
one good one, and one in
which he played more than
a third of the scheduled games
That was in 1928, when, in LOT
contests with the Hose he
carved a batting average of .287.
Berg is big man and smart
he Is credited with being
able to speak half a dozen
tongues-but they didn't in
clude the language of base ball
last year, when he drew his
unconditional release from
Manager Peckinpaugh after
getting into only 10 games
with the Cleveland Indians.
The Nationals admittedly
are in need of some one to help
out Roy Spencer back of the
bat, but it is difficult to see
how Noes linguistic talents
will aid in this respect.
Judge wants to Join Bucky
Harris at Detroit, where he is
assured of playing regularly
and a salary satisfactory to
him, and Ray Hayworth would
fit in nicely here as under
study to Spencer.
Let's hope Griff can land
the Bengal backstopper, If

A VALON, Santa Catalina Island,
~ Calf, March 10. - Generous
~ quantities Of speed have been
instilled in the Cubs this Spring
in an effort to thrust Chicago boldly
into the front ranks Of the National
League base ball race.
To be sure, Manager Rogers Hornsby
has done much to strengthen his pitch
ing, but the chief result Of training
activities Is an infleld rejuvenated by
youthful requirements.
Hornsby Gives Way to Herman.
The Rajah Is enthusiastically bench
ing himself In favor Of Bill Herman,
the 22-year-old lad who moved In from
Louisville last Fall to finish the season
with . 1927 batting average and field
ing mark of .939 at second base.
Sensational work Of Stanley Hack, a
f1edgling at third, appears to have
1urthered the cause. Like Herman a
22-year old, Hack has forced out the
veteran Lester Bell with the same smil-
ing confidence with which he was
checking deposits and Withdrawals as
bookkeeper in q Sacramento, Calf,
counting house a year ago.
Hacks career has been short but
sweet. He made long Jump from the
bank TO class AA ball with Sacramento
last Spring. Then a batting average
OF .352 and fielding mark of .942
caused Chicago to post fancy sum.
Hack Stars at Outset.
How good is Hack?" was the
Rajah's first question when he arrived
here. The tall, broad shouldered
blond youth gave a most convincing
answer in the first exhibition with the
New York Giants, hitting two triples
and fielding well.
HornSby has not worried about first
base or shortstop. The veteran

mitted. "Of course, there's no GER

matter who is picked to play the

Unlike Bill T1ldan and other ex-
perts, Shields does not regard Great
Britain as the biggest threat to
Americas hopes. He says the

even with Jean Borotrs on the

K the colors of the Washing
l. ton base ball club are shot
to the top of the American
League fagpole this year, credit to
its hoisting may be attributed to
proteins, calories and diet.
And with them credit can be placed
upon the sun-kissed brow of Trainer
Mike Martin, whose advice on diet has
been followed by at least three of the
members of the Nationals, who felt
that heavy waistline and sulky
disposition to speed up kept them
from their best last year.
While this whole camp has mar
veled at the athletic fitness of Pitch
ers Firpo Marberry and General Crow
der and Inflelder Joe Cronin, few have
known that their condition Is due
most Of all to their having followed
the advice Of the veteran trainer dur
ing the of season.

the boys left the club last year de-
claring to give Mixes diet scheme an
honest test.
Mike. 1t Is said, told the trio In a
sound talk that their health meant
their salaries and that, unless they
began taking of some Of the weight
line, their batting and pitching lines,
TOO, were going to show effects-but
they would become thinner.
Mikes advice to the boys, and they
are all Mixes boys, always In taken
seriously. He has been giving advice
TO ball players since 1904, when he
was with the Yanks, then managed
BY Clark Grif1th, present Washing
ton owner.
But he made an especial plea TO the
trio because he felt that the Nationals
were going to need their services badly
this year and that the players, them
selves. were more than anxious for q
big season.
