Driver Arrested
Thinks He's in
San BernardinO

1t wasn't that he was being
arrested for drunken driving that
worried william McGeugel, AZ,
Of 1885 Arrowhead avenue, San
Bernardino. The thing worry
ing him was that, if he had to
spend the NIGHT in Jail, he
wouldn't have time to get down
to Imperial Valley to sober up.
Arrested at Seventh and State
streets Monday night by PATROL
man T. P. Farmer of the El
Centre police force, McGeugel
protested that he was on his
way to the valley, and was try
ing to get out of San Bernardino
just as fast as he could. If only
the officer would let him.
1t was with considerable diff
ficulty that he was convinced he
already was in the valley, and
that the automobile OF Nick Ba-
bich. with which he had cOllifi
cd in front of 1912 Euclid avenue,
was an Imperial Valley automo-
bile.
McGeugel realized his first
announced intention, however.
when Police Judge Lee Nuffer
sentenced him to so days in Jail,

why does Dizzy lose games?"
1 asked. 'Ts it because he hasn't
winning spirit"
mo, not that" Frisch answered.
"He likes to win, all right. I think
it's because he's so stuck on him
self. It's this way. Most pitchers,
if a batter hits certain kind of
ball, will do their best to keep from
giving he hitter that kind of ball
But not Dizzy, and it isn't because
he doesn't know the hitters. He
knows the weaknesses of the Ma
tional hitters as we'll as anyone.
But he doesn't like to pitch to their
weaknesses. He likes to show off
by throwing the kind they like.
He doesn't like to admit that any
kind of ball he throws isn't good
enough to get any hitter out. Last
year Arky Vaughan beat him twice
by knocking waiSt-bigh fast ones
out of the park. Dizzy knew
Vaughan liked that kind Of pitch,
but he was determined to show
Arky he could throw that sort past
him. Now Hubbell isn't that way.
Two years ago I got triple off
one of Carl's screwballs, and he
hasn't thrown me one since.">A

Guess you're mighty glad Hickey

Lemon trees, maybe" he said.
Then-With a laugh:
II didn't mean that. He's a
screwban, sure enough, and as big
a headache as "a manager ever had,
but dammit he can pitch. You
know, Dizzy has no business losing
even so much as one game a year.
I mean that. He ought to win
every game sbe. pitches in the ma
