In his two weeks here Frankie has charmed the Rotarians, Lions, Ci- vitans, Kiwanians. and other clubs with his past -prandial oratory, and planted nasturtiumS in front of his cottage door.
 Whats more, he's wearing neck tic good part of each day.
 When I finally found him he was stretched out in beach chair at the Beabreeze Bath and Tennis club, nibbling q canape, and drink ing in the sunshine. He seemed 70 peaceful, 50 contented, that I hated to speak of baseball But. knowing that this nation will never relax until the Dizzy Dean prob lem Is settled. I inquired after that celebrated right arm, with man at tached.
 Frisch said that he had heard Dizzy was enroute to teach nt the baseball school in Hotsprings, Ark. and as the information had come from Mrs. Dean he allowed 1t must be true.
 "When she speaks" F'risch said, "entire cities listen and obey"
 The St. Louis managed was in- clined to scoff at the report that Dizzy was going to teach pitching at the school.
 "They wouldn't waste him on subject like that he said q bit rue- fully. T imagine they'll let him teach the subject on which he Is the absolute authority. Others can teach pitching. but only Dizzy is qualified for this one line
 And what is that?" I asked. "Mu- sic2"--you know blowing ones own hern7'
 No. although he wouldn't bc mad at that. The subject I'm thinking of Is, How to run baseball man. ager batty.' What course Of 1n- struction he could give in that Ice turing only one hour q day. He could teach his pupils to gray tho hair. bend the back. warp the mind. and line the face of any manager in the game.
 They'll have to keep Dizzy in Hot Springs all year. though. If they want him to give complete course in running manager nuts. HIS course in how to develop q lame arm overnight would take q semester. alone. And he'l need at least two weeks to give his lectures on how to mis sthe bus for exhibition games.
 His course in sulking couldn't be taught in a day. either. For It involves sulking on ball field, s,ilking in dugout. sulking in locker room, sulking in train, boudoir and bath. Neither could his mastcrful course, in advance second guessing That would take q full year. In fact.'
 Did Frisch think Dean was ca pablo of teaching postgraduate stu- dents?"
 wei yes. 1 guess he could pick three or four of hls best pupils ana teach htem how to sulk all the way from tho bull-pen.
