President Sam BreadOn Has Put Stop to All Talk
 of Trade

St. Louis, Mo, Feb. l9.-CUP).- Everybody but the bat boy had say today in the Dizzy Dean-St. Louis Cardinals battle-royal. and after the last syllable was uttered the com posite word of 1t all was:
 Dizzy remains with the Car dinals."
 Sam Breadon, president of the club. was authority for that state ment. virtually ignoring the battle between Dean and Vice-Pdesident Branch Hickey over an asserted row between Dean and Catcher Virgil Davis.
 We are not going to trade Dizzy, said Breadon in comment on Deans suggestion that if he and Hickey couldn't get along, Dean might be traded. As Dean is the outright baseball property of the Cardinals, contract or no contract, that settles 1t all.
 Manager Frankie Frisch, mean while, came to town to add his voice to the chorus. Hickey sharply reprimanded Dean for messing into Frisch's managerial bailiwick.
 He'll take orders, not give them, said Frisch.
 But down at Hot Springs, Ark where Dean is teaching baseball in a winter school, his manager-wife, Mrs. Patricia Dean, announced she was "tired of standing by and let- tinC Dizzy get the worst of his deal- ings with the Cardinals"

 While Tied To Girder

 Mccoy had reported for work at midnight. His job at the Lowell Gas & Light Company's plant was to carry coke with the crane.
 A half hour later Michael Leahey, another employe, heard @ crash. He looked up and saw that the cranes cab, with Mccoy inside, had fallen abolt 20 feet and been pierced by a steel girder.

 "I've got help coming. Are you hurt bad?"
 McCoy's answer was inaudible.
 Soon firemen were at the scene. They raised a 60-foot extension ladder and one of their number climbed up to the cab. Mccoy could be seen inside, his right arm pinned against the roof by the girder. The cab had been crushed in such 6 way that entrance was impos- sible.
