has the chain executives locking their
desks in the evening with smiles on
their faces and high-class acts on
their schedules.
For fortnight they have been
sitting around waiting for the dreaded
cancellations, only to find that the
bulk OF their programs and sponsors
seem to have accepted the theory that
life begins January l and doesn't stop
merely because the air gets warm and
few million persons take a week or
TWO vacation. Even If they do go
away for a while, radio goes along in
the form of one of the 100000 auto
mobile sets or some other set waiting
at the vacation end of the Journey.
Besides, airtime is limited by the clock
and calendar and sponsors are holding
on to choice hours.
MUCH more of a nightmare among
program makers this year than
the dread of Summer slack is the
annual juggling of traffic for the April
rs shift to daylight-saving time. AS
usual the networks will turn their
clocks ahead an hour the last Sunday
in April. AS long as some cities de-
clded to enjoy an extra hour of
morning sunshine every Summer, while
others keep their clocks at the same
place, there will be semi-annual con-
fusion in schedules. A number of
Eastern cities adopt daylight time
every year, while the West stays on
standard. Programmes solve this
phase of the problem by moving ahead

ST. LOUIS. July 16 G.N.S).
Paul Dean, who with his illustriouS
brother, Dizzy Dean, pitched the
st. Louis Cardinals to the worlds
baseball champion over the De.
troit Tigers in 1884, today was
apparently headed for the minor
leagues or the voluntary retired
list.
Sam Breadon, president Of the
Cardinals, revealed that waivers
had been asked on Paul and that
all clubs had waived on the once
brilliant young righhand pitcher.
What action the Cardinals will
take in Paul's case was not dis
closed by Breadon. Once all clubs
have waived on him. it is believed
than Dean will either be sent to a
Cardinal minor league team or
again be placed on the voluntary
retired list.
Paul has been of little use to the
Cardinals since he injured his
pitching arm last year. He was
placed on the voluntary retired
list in the hope that rest would
cure the ailment. Paul rejoined
the club this year, but the arm
still panied him when he pitched
and he did not have his former
effectiveness. He underwent an
operation in May, this year, for
the removal of a piece of cartilage
on his right shoulder in the hope
that the trouble would be cor
rected.
Since the operation; Paul has
been working out daily, but has

SWanky
Emporium

By LEE RASHALL

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-At
At the foot of North Beach, San
Francisco's little Italy, stands Joe
DiMaggios life insurance.
Its name is Joe DiMaggio's
Grotto."
It is a $4,000 investment in the
form of brilliant blue and white
stone building housing the ritziest
fish and fun palace in town.
Joe, when he terminates his as
ISOLATION with the YankS and
leaves the outfield for good, will
retire to this chromium-plated fish
emporium, fringing the North
Beach section where he was born,
to make his dollars multiply.
Meanwhile his shrewd, older
brother, Tom, is maitre d'hotel in
charge. And Tom says that al
though they've been open barely
six weeks, the place is paying for
itself and building the base for a
pyramid to be known as the Di-
Maggie fortunes.
Grabs Au Gratin
Before Joe'S debt in the big
league, the fortunes Of Di Mag
gio were wrapped up in the sea.
For two generations the family
has engaged in fishing and one
of the brothers, Mike, still throws
a wicked net.
You can eat one of his crabs ALL
gratin in Joe's place.
There's a lot of color in the
grotto and tourists are giving it
big play.
Fronting Fisherman's Wharf
and the bay which has yielded a
living to Joe's family all these
years, the Grotto is executed in
good taste, combining a touch of
Hollywood with a marine motif.
Murals in the grill depict the life
of italian fishermen and their pic
tureSque boats, 800 Of which Gus
toners can glimpse out the broad
front plate-glaSs window, bobblng
at their ropes in the wharf.
Joe in Uniform
Extensive muralS in the adjoin-
ing bar (separate entrance) show,
among other things, Joe in his
Yankee uniform.
Every time Joe bats homer. as
he has done % times this season,
they set up drinks on the house.
The whole thing is first class.
The ceiling is in gold leaf. for
example, and the open-air rock
garden and fish pool at the rear
cost about $1,000. Joe's place
gives famous Fisherman's Wharf,
known to legions of tourists, it's
first and only example of swank.
One Of the city's leading architects
was engaged to do the job.
Brother Tom says it cost $50, 900

Lookout Option
Given Enge|

Washington fans take at least
a mild interest in the fact that
Joe Engel took a 30-day option on
the Chattanooga Lookouts and
may complete the deal for the
team before that time. Engel
worked wonders with the Look
outs, and made them a popular
outfit.
He is something of a genius in
baseball promotion, this Engel.
The tidy little stadium down
there in Chattanooga has rung
many times, and will ring again,
to the mirth of Engels parties.
He has his jazz band and his saw
dust buffetS that delight the visit
ing sports writer's. Engel, by sug-
gestion, virtually dictated sports
policies down there. The gang
did anything he wanted, simply
because Engel took honest criti-
cism with a laugh.
So happy landing, Joe; here's
hoping you hoist those Lookouts
to q perch in the first division,

Said Mr.. Doyle:
"Well, we'll give Jimmy the
customary one hour of grace"
About 40 minutes of the hour
of grace had passed when young
man presented himself to this OBJ
server, in charge of the Times
Hearst event. After introducing
himself, the young man said:
you've got Jimmy BishOpp
entered in the mems singles.
Well, Jimmy is a girl and she
meant to enter the wOmen'S
singles. 1 thought I'd better
come down here and let you
know about it, SO you wouldn't
hold up the tournament waiting
for Jimmy. She says she can't
play in a mems tournament"
Thus did Hazel Jimmy" Bish-
opp crash into the local tennis pic
ture in big way. Immediately
after the Incl d mt mentioned,
Hazel was entered in the women's
singles.
While competing in that event,
her style of play and her great
promise attracted the attention of
Mrs. Dorette Miller, Mrs. Connie
Thompson and other women in
terested in the Junior Sears Cup
movement, the female counter
part of Major Christenberry'S
Junior Davis Cup movement for

These women who devote them
selves to the development of a
higher standard of tennis and
court conduct among players, took
Hazel Bishopp as one of the mem
