Ct Louis, April 18.-Dizzy Dean relates how the late John J. Me- Graw. then manager of the New York Giants, chased him over the fence at San Antonio III the spring of 1890.
 McGraw consented to look over Dean at the request of Jimmy Brought, a first sergeant at Fort Sam Houston, where the great right handler had been stationed with the 18th Field Artillery after enlisting at the age of 16.
 McGraw ordered Dean to go into the outfield and shag flies. " "On the third day bumped into one of the outflelders and Me- Graw came runnin' out" laughs Dean. "He was mad. Get out of here. Get out of the park he was screaming. 'You'll be killin' some ball players l jumped over the fence."
 William Harold Terry, then in the ranks, probably saw the tai youngster make himself scarce, but little did he realize that Me Graw was shooing away $275,0OO worth of baseball flesh.
 Terry places Dizzy Deans value at $200,O0O. Based on that, the price tag on Paul Dean would be at least $75,000, and when Me- Craw drove Dizzy from the pren.- ises he included Paul, for biz l2d his kid brother into the St Louis Cardinal chain gang a year later.
 The pair pitched the Giants out of the National League pennant and world series last season. 5 Dean is the delight of the base ball writer and cameraman. The former cotton picker never runs out of material for interviews, and, running out of facts, doesn't heSi- tate to resort to fancy.
 Dizzy Is smarter than most mag mates and managers. He realizes the Importance of the printed word.
 q owe the big dough to the newspapers,' he smiles. 'lf 1t hadn't been for them I'd still be just another ball player" In this latest interview, Dean goes his pretty missus one better bv declaring that he'll retire after this season instead of next. He reveals just now he cleared $7z,- 900 in 1884, and for the first time diyulges the exact amount or ms 1885 salary. It is sl9,5OO.
 Dean asserts that his brother and himself may win 40 games this year, but no more than thac for the reason that he does not in- tend to pitch any 312 innings, which is what he did in 1884, when the two copped 49 regular seas on contests and the four engagements that gave the Red Birds the lon5 end of the World series swag.
 "From the bottom of my heart Pm telling you l won't play bail after this season." says Dean. "l hate spring training. You chase flies in the outheld til your heart busts. That's why I'm quitting, I'm not going to kill myself pitch ing this year"
 Deans in the Big Money Dean started this year with T s25O0 bonus for his brilliant per- formances in 1884, and is reported to be getting $4O,oOO from one ce- real concern.
 Dick Slack, the East St Louis business man whu uses him Tn an advertising way, gave him a $5oOo bonus for signing-the one when led to his being called before Judge Landis.
 W Dizzy tells how he crashed thc 2 more important money last fall. # "One company gives me S15,0oC for boosting cereal and that ism 50 tough because I cat 1t anyway he explains. "I get s12,0o0 from another company for eating an- other cereal. A shirt company pays me $1200 q month for adver- fisin' their shirts. I get $200o fer ] backing an ice cream cup. There was 31 other contracts.
 Me and Paul get $S250 for 2 week at New York theatcr. We coulda had 10 more, but that was too tough. A movie company pays iis $52O0 each for short. Dizzy and Daffy.'
