Sore Arms For
Dizzy Dean

From all parts of the land to-
day came an appeal for more sore
arms for Dizzy Dean. Strange to
say the appeals came not from
supporters of the Chicago Cubs
or New York Giants, but from
rabid rooters for Dizzy'S own
team, the st. Louis Cards. The
paradox is not difficult Of ex-
PLANTATION.
In Pittsburgh yesterday, Dean
had run-in with Manager
frankie Frisch of the Cards and
refused to take the mount against
the Pirates in the first game Of a
doubleheader, complaining he had
"sore arm" FriSch listened
sympathetically and excused the
mound ace from duty, but some
how or other the "sore arm" dis.
appeared while Winford and
Parmalee were hurting the Red
Birds to a 4-3 triumph in the
opener. Dean took his place in
the warm-up bullpen while some
$4,000 fans cheered him.
Allows Only 4 Hits
Then he assembled the pitching
hill and hurled the Cards to a
dazzling To victory, holding the
Pirates to mere four hits, two
of which came in the first inning,
and striking out four. The win,
incidentally, was DIS twentieth
of the year.
If Dean can develop more sore
arms of this type the st. Louisans
are practically assured Of winning
the National League pennant.
All in all, the day was a huge
success for the Cardinals, for
while they were subduing the
Pirates twice, the Chicago Cubs
were dropping a pair Of games to
the lowly Cincinnati Reds, and
dropping into third place a half
game behind the New York
Giants. The Reds came from be-
hind with three-run assault in
the ninth inning to take the first
game by a 4-3 score behind Davis.
The second game, a free-hitting
affair, went to the Reds by 50
count. Don Brennan relieved Paul
Derringer in the seventh inning to
halt Cub uprising and save the
game.
The Giants defeated the hap
less Philadelphia PhillieS, SO, for
their sixth victory in row. while
the Quaker-town team was setting
a seasons record with IA consecu-
tive defeats. Hal Schumacher
and Dick Coffman did the pitch
ing for the Giants.
The Brooklyn Dodgers made 1t
three victories in row for the
ninth time this year when they
trimmed the Boston Bees, 5 to 2,
in the first game of a double
header, but, as in the past, tri-
umph eleuded them when they
tried to stretch the streak to four.
The best they could get in the
nightcap was a 2-to-2 tie. The
game was halted by darkness in
the ninth.
While a surprisingly large
crowd of $4,000 looked on, the
New York Yankees divided a pair
of games with the Athletics in
Philadelphia. The Yankees took
the opener 10 to 2 as Johnny
Broaca coasted to the wire on
the momentum of two home runs
by Lou Gehrig-his 9th and 38th
and four-base smackS by Dl-
Maggie and Powell. The night
cap saw the 31-year-old rookie,
Harry Kelley, hold the Yanks to
five hits to gain 2-to-1 triumph
over Malone and Murphy.
The Detroit Tigers won two
games from the Chicago White
Sox, 6 to and to 6, to make
a clean sweep of a four-game
series. Schoolboy Rowe chalked
up his fourteenth victory in the
opener, while Tom Bridges got
his sixteenth in the finale.
The st. Louis Browns defeated
the Cleveland Indians, 8 to 2,
in a single game as Ivy Paul
Andrews held the Tribe to six hits.
