Dean Set 10 HurI
Against Pills

NEW YORK, June 5.-Back In
good standing after his spectacu-
lar squabble, Dizzy Dean was set
to hurl for the st. Louis Cardinals
at Philadelphia today.
National League President Ford
Prick lifted the suspension slapped
on the Cardinal pitcher following
a brief conference at league head
quarters in which, to the bitter
end, Dean stood his ground and
refused to sign anything-espe-
an apology.
In fact, Dizzy got so laxative
after the suspension was lifted
that he was nearly suspended
cially anything that smacked OF
again.
Frick, however, apparently
weary of the whole affair. with
drew his demand that Dean sign
a written statement denying the
pitchers purported attacks on
Prick and on Umpire George Barr
The league president insisted, new
ertheless, that Dean make a formal
oral denial before witnesses.
Repudiates Statements
And so. in the presence OF W.T.
nesses, Dean declared he never
called Prick and Barr "the blggeS'
crooks in baseball" Dean also re
pudiated alleged statements about
the National League balk rule.
Prick then issued a statement
saying he was perfectly willing
to accept the statement OF MT
Dean at its face value and con
slider the incident closed"
But. knowing Dean, Prick IN
cluded these words in his state
ment:
$50 far as what may occur IN
the future, time alone can tell.

Dean had gone quite beyond that

ward those who go to Edgemoo-
this afternoon.
Welsh is back on his game;
Mitchell has regained the form
which made him, several years
back, one of the most dangerous
of players to meet in a tournament
match.
If Barney goes through this
afternoon it will be his fifth
straight year undeteated in a
Washington tournament.
Play Tomorrow
Welsh and Mitchell also are in
the doubles final, which will be
played tomorrow afternoon, also
at Edgemoor.
Today's final in the singles will
start at o'clock.
The last time Dooly won over
the Squire of Rockville was at
Morgantown, w. Va, six years ago.,
This was in the final match of the
West Virginia tourney. Three
years ago Barney and Dooly
hooked up in a sensational match
for the City Public Parks title.
Barney outlasted Doolv and won
in five sets. Last year Barney
won again in four sets.
C Welsh moved into today's final
yesterday when he disposed of
Tony Latona with east, 6-1, Ga.
Mitchell won over Frank Shore,
81, 13-11. The chop stroke,
Shores forte, helped him stall off
defeat in the second set.
In tomorrow's doubles final,
Welsh and Tony Latona will OPP
pose Mitchell and Lieut.. Bill How
ard.
This one ought to be worth 60
ing miles to see.
1t is scheduled to get under way
at 2 p. m.

But Bridges turned the bats of
Lewis, Myer and Stone into match
sticks and Chappie was left on
third. What a hurler, that boy
Bridges.
