NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Paul
Dean. whose sensational no-hit, no
run one-base performance against
Brooklyn yesterday overshadowed
any individual pitching feat of the
past twelve years, talked about it
at length in a Putnam last night
just before the st. Louis Cardinals
train pulled out for Cincinnati.
Tall, slender. brown-haired and
sallow-faced, he seemed more a drug
clerk than a famous athlete as he
discussed the greatest brother act
baseball ever knew-the twin vic
tories which he and his older
brother, Jerome Dizzy, registered
yesterday against the Dodgers.
Choosing the moment as oppor-
tune to emphasize that there was
nothing exceptional nor dizzy about
the lives or accomplishments of the
Deans, Paul gave this thumbnail
sketch of himself and Dizzy:
We're just couple of natural
born throwers from down Texas
way. Two good-natured, ordinary
fellers whom God gave perfect
pitchin' bodies-built long and loose
like houn' dogs. Fellers who never
ate any special victuals nor took
any special exercises to put speed
into their soupbones. Just lucky
enough to be born pitchers"
"DOdger Fans MObbed Me"
AS for yesterdays double-barrelled
triumph, Paul admitted he and
Dizzy got a great kick out of it.
But he added, Il don't see why
everybody went hog wild about it.
Why, those Dodger fans almost
mobbed me when I walked off the
field. I figured everybody knew all
along Dizzy and me were good
pitchers"
He finally admitted that maybe
it was a purity good show" he and
Dizzy gave the 10000 fans at Ebbets
field, after newspaper men in the
car pounded home these historic
facts:
l. At 81, and pitching his first
season in the majors, Paul entered
baseball's hall of fame with. no.
hit, no-run game when he BANKED
the Dodgers to 0. Records indi-
Gated he is the only f1rst-year man
ever to turn the trick. He achieved
a like accomplishment in the Amer
lean Association in 1882, pitching
for Columbus against Kansas City.
2. Yesterdays was the first no
hit, no-run game in the majors
since Bob Burke of the Senators
and Yves Terrell of the Cleveland
Indians hurled theirs in 1881. 1t
was the first no-hitter in the Ma
tional circuit since Carl Hubbell
of the Giants registered his against
the Pirates in 1929. And it was
the first Cardinal no-hitter since
Jess Haines turned in one in 1924.
3. Paul'S performance oVershad-
owed all individual mound feats of
the last twelve years because it was
the most nearly perfect game since
Charlie Robertson of the White SoX
scored the majors last perfect game
against the Tigers in 1922. Since
then there have been eight no-hit-
tiers, but all were marred by passes
and errors. In yesterdays only one
man got on a baSe-Len Koenecke,
through a walk.
Dizzy Keeps Promise
"a Paul'S feat was accomplished
just after Dizzy became the first
st. Louis National pitcher since the
club was born, back in 1876, to roll
up twenty-seven victories in one
season. Dizzy broke the Cardinal
pitching record of twenty-six victo-
ries established by Cy Young in 1899.
60 Paul's eighteenth victory yes
terday against nine defeats, and
Dizzy's twenty-seventh against seven
losses, brought the Deans total
triumphs for the season to the eX-
act forty-five which Dizzy had
promised the St. Louis officials last
spring. At that time Dizzy's boast
was regarded the dizziest statement
he ever made.
90 Their double Brooklyn vic
tory cut half a game off the Giants
National League lead and left the
Cards only three games behind in
the desperate pennant chase.
Purity good, all right" chuckled
Paul after listening to this evidence.
But, say. I knew I had that no
hitter sewed up after the seventh
inning. l tcld Catcher Delaney
then that I was goin' to make it. I
told him to watch me bear down like
an old rascal"
