JEROME D. DEAN

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10. UP)-Dizzy
Dean can either promise to be
good boy next season or, SO far
as the Cardinals are concerned,
make good his perennial threats to
quit baseball.
In fact" said President
Branch hickey Of the club tonight,
1T might be a good thing for the
Cardinals if Dizzy decided to re-
tire for season"
Hickey recently mated the elder
Dean a long letter laying down a
program of reform. SO far he has
had no answer.
Although Hickey refused to Ella
borate on the letter, there were
reasons to believe it contained
definite censure against Dizzy as
a self-appointed manager. Last year
ne was in frequent quarrels with
other players, and once engaged in
a fist fight NTH Joe MedWick.
Repeatedly. his favorite bench
saying was Why in the hell did
Frisch do that?'
Il do not care 10 make a definite
statement in Dizzy's case" Hickey

This years tournament bids fair
to see a score of new players in the

Max Baer has returned to the
headlines of the sport pages OF the
nations newspapers for the first
time since he was jolted from the
fistic world by Joe Louis last Sep
TENDER.
According to Max Baer, Baer will
stage the first successful comeback
an eX-heavyweight has made in ring
history Baer says that he will lick
Louis in a return bout in a year and
a half.
Max gives several reasons why he
will clean Louis, among which is the
fact that he can take all that Louis
can throw. We think that he proved
this point in his fight against Joe
in September because he lasted four
whole rounds against the Detroit
Annihilator.
1t seems to us that Baer would be
much wiser to remain in the COM
parative safety of his California
ranch.
Tennis enthusiasts of Imperial
Valley are looking forward to the
annual doubles tournament TO be
held in Calexico early in March and
the singles tournament held in FL

These tournaments are sponsored
by the tennis clubs of the valley and
draw the pick of Imperial Valley
racketeeTs.
The meets are preceded by a round
robin meet among teams represent
ing Brawley, Calexico, Yuma and e.
Centre. Calexico won the meet this
year by taking every match on their
schedule.
The winner of the round robin
tournament is awarded a perpetual
trophy donated by the I. V. Hard
ware. FL Centre won the cup in the
first year Of competition and Yuma
annexed the coveted trophy last
season.

Another big double main
event has been arranged for
wrestling fans with a return
match between Charlie San
ten and Chris Columbo as
the feature bout. In the other half
of the main Kiman Kudo meets Lui
Mayor in two out of three fall tilt
encounter.
These bouts will be held in the

at $50 with Ed Kanchy battling
Bob Coleman in the opener.
Santen downed Columbo last week

Wrenched his knee and was unable

vowed that he would win a return

here to give local fans the oppor-
tunity to see this grudge battle.
Kudo Risks Suspension
The State Athletic Commission
has threatened Kiman Kudo, clever
japanese grappler, with suspension
if he does not meet Lui Mayo at the
local arena. Kudo is one of the
most entertaining matmen in the
game as he employs many holds and
