Deans Write History

the National League settle into
Bill Delancey'S big mitt.
Yes, there are tales to tell Of
SportSman's Park, for it is an
old field, and major league base
ball history has been made
there since the time there were
major leagues. But never in all
those fleeing seasons has a
more stirring chapter been writ
ten than that to which Jerome
Herman Dean put a period and
q half dozen exclamation marks
to close the Cardinals Skyrocket
climb to their fifth champion
ship.

Waddell, Eddie Plank and
"Three Finger" Brown, Red

Harry Howell and Barney Petty,
Jean Dubuc and that other slow
ball sweetheart-"Wee" Willie
Sherdel.
Along Come the Deans
Thus even in my time most
all the great ones have passed
in parade across that pitching
peak-and then came the
Deans. Mind you, I am not try
ing to compare the two angular
young men from ArkanSas-the
first two-man ball team in his
tory-to Matty or Johnson, or
Brown or Waddell.
After all, a pitcher doesn't
become a Mathewson in one sea-
son. Even though he Is Dean.
What I am saying is tina. none
of the great stars of bygone
years ever turned in such a feat
as the Dean brothers have just
completed in pitching the Card
mails into the pennant.
Detroit, you know, never has
won a world series champion
ship, and just when it looked as
though they had the chance of
a dozen lifetimes, what happens
but that the Deans should bob
up saying: "Over our dead
bodies" To be sure the Tigers
may beat 'em. Cincinnati prob
ably would have beat 'em, too,
if they had kept playing 'em
long enough.
But for the records and Mr..
Gordon Stanley Cochrane's
earnest consideration, the Dean
brothers have lost three ball
games since they came back
from their little private "putsch"
against Frank Frisch, during
which Dizzy tore up a few st.
Louis uniforms just to relieve
the monotony in the club house.
That is three defeats over a
span Of five or six weeks, most
of them spent on the road, and
now all Detroit has to do is beat
'em four times in four days. Be
cause it seems reasonable to sup
pose that it will be Dean, Dean,
Dean and Dean for the Car
dinals in the series, although
my private opinion is that
Frisch could do worse than
pitch the well-rested Carleton in
Wednesdays game at NaVin
Field.
First Time Pitcher
My observation has been that
Carleton, like Hubbell, is a great
first time pitcher. Which is to
say that he is hard to hit on
first acquaintance. There are
pitchers like that. Pitchers who
are at their best their first year
in a new league, and I believe
Carleton is one of them.
But the records say FriSch
must go on throwing Deans at
the enemy until there is no more
enemy at which to throw 'em.
AS I say, they were beaten three
times in the Red Birds scream
ing flight to the top of the tree.
Daffy threw one game away with
a wild throw over first and lost
a two-hitter to Hoyt-A Hoyt
two-hitter. But Dir dropped only
one.
In his last four games Jerome
Herman has pitched three shut
outs and in his last SO innings
he has been scored on in only
one. This was on a home run by
Vaughan that scored a man
ahead of him with Dean breez-
ing to victory in the ninth.
Oh, Mister Cochrane!
oh, oh, oh, oh, Mister
Coch-rane!
