lis Andy Anderson, sports editor of the Press, and Andy knows the Dizzy one 50 well that on that fate- full night he chose to get married, Andy stood up--at the home plate of the Houston ball park, I believe, --as best man.
 . Hot Stun
 For one year at least" Andy told 1ne, 'DizZy was the best news in this town. He was much better than the police beat or the courthouse beat or any other beat. Damn if wasn't afraid to go out on a party at night for fear he'd do something and I'd miss 1t. s< ss,l
 T remember that night Dizzy got married. As best man, I took his flancee, Pat, to the church. Dig didn't even have enough money to ] buy ring. After the wedding I took Dizzy and Mrs. Dean to. their hotel. It was Friday afternoon. That is the big baseball night in Houston. It's ladies night, and all the gals get in free. As we drove to the hotel, with Dig and Mrs. Dix in the backseat, Dix put his arm around, his bride. Honey he said, T ain't got any money now. I'm just 2 country boy startin' out, But I'll tell you. I'm gonna give you . fine wedding pres lent tonight, I'm gonna let those Fort Worth monkeys down with two hits, I'm gonna fan thirteen men, and shut 'ern out
 There was guy named Yam YaranN on the Fort Worth team," continued Andy, "and 1t 50 happens that earlier in this day his team had asked waivers on him. It was his last game in the Texas league, and he knew It. Came the ninth inning. Dig had famed II men. The score was nothing to nothing. He had two strikes on this Yaryan, so Dig got getting smart. So he throws one in there. Waist high. In the groove. Yaryan takes Q cut at 1t and knocks 1t over the fence for the ball game. As the team walked of the field Dix picked out Yaryan and goes to him. Yelling:
 "'You dirty so-and-so, ain't you got no feeling? Here go and make promise to my wife about a wed- ding gift and you make . liar out of me-"
 Dizzy, according to Anderson, used to keep Fred Ankenman, president of the Houston club, just on tie NsSk oIgtrte af tI1A l,,aat tlo A . eS,l,,v.a Hardly a day passed but that Dizzy called ArkenInaia and told him, with pain in his voice, that something had happened to his arm, and that he never could pitch again. Anken- man would race over to see Dizzy. Only to find him in the lobby, laughing and laughing ct his joke. ,e.. , Young Nut
 Dizzy's brother, Elmer, is quite @ card too. Elmer is q peanut seller in the Houston park. His cry of Hey, lady, want to buy c goober," is . byword in Houston. It was Elmer, who, after MT. Dean, ST., had packed to attend the 1884 world series between St. Louis and Detroit, noticed that his fathers bag was not quite in order--that a tie draped out from one side, and the sleeve of q coat from the other: EJ .,:
 Mr. Dean regretted the sloppy packing. and said # would all have to be done over again. .." | Don't be crazy" said Elmer, T got . better Idea than that" '.
 So, grabbing e pair of scissors, Elmer clipped of the tie and the coat sleeve. t. 4.rg ."tt~
 "see," he cried triumphantly.
