So, all Dizzy has left to do to re-

Maybe he will and maybe he won't,
but you can depend on one thing
DiZzy's got the same spirit, probably
more. than he had last year when his
tireleSs right arm hauled the Cards
from down yonder to base ball fame.
Dizzy's left leg was sore today. A
big red spot showed where it had
been painfully bruised from a line
drive off Freddie LindStrom's bat in
the very first inning of his seasonal
debut against the Cubs yesterday. His

about this right away. When they start

week" Frisch chimed in.
Yeah? Well, you watch!"
DizZy's escape yesterday with nothing
but bruised bone was nothing short
of miraculous. Lindstrom, powerful
hitter, put all his power behind his
swing and the ball came back at Dizzy
like a shot out of a cannon. travelling
about two feet high. 1t caught the
Cardinal star on the shin bone few
inches above the ankle. but with the
slightest bit of DETECTION. Dizzy dashed
after the loose ball, but collapsed as he
was about to pick it up.
I'm sure sorry l didn't pick it up"
he told his mates later. I'm sorry I
fell down"

counts then"
At the Yankee Stadium roar went
up as the Scoreboard showed the
Braves drew two runs in the first in

somewhere in the scramble. His single
scored a run.
Later on, when two more Boston
runs were posted. there was another
roar. Maybe it was the old Babe
you could sense this from the tele-
pathic waves that always come from
a crowd with a single thought. You
can't miss it if you've been knocking
around with sporting crowds for more
than 80 years.
1t was the Babe-and this time it
was home run off Hubbel. who is an
other set-up like MusSolini, Stain,
Hitler and Max Baer.
What Ruth will do later Is your
guess, as we'll as mine. But this was
the main spot, this opening day, where
a flop meant much more than it will
mean at any other time. 1t was the
spot. A futile, feeble. Babe would
have meant too bad-the old palooka
should have quit-didn't he know he
was through?-won't they ever learn?
