have right TO know. You tell 'enl
that the only trouble between us
and the Cardinal bosses Is that they
don't want to pay us what we de-
serve. We draw thousands Of dol
lars through the gates, and believe
me we are worth a lot more than
they want to pay us. This year there
will be none Of the monkey business
Of secret meetings with Hickey. and
the talk Of us hiding out in the
woods and refusing 10 talk with him.
He knows what we want and II he
doesn't want to pay 1t he can very
well stay in st. Louis and teach his
pet dog tricks, take up airplane n.y.
ing, or play Switchboard.
All Set
1--WE don't want to see him or hear
from him until he has q contract for
fifty thousand In his pocket. OF
course, he won't stay UP there. He'll
come down and try and overpower
us with his sweet smile and mile-a-
minute flow of oily CAB. But he
won't fool US. This time we are
ready-and able-to tell him to go
fly his kite"
Mrs. Dean Is none too satisfied
with the way the Cards handle Dig
zy. She Is certain that he is over
worked.
I'VE played In 81 games last year,
and that's too many. II they would
let us take our regular turn and
no more we'd win IS or 40 ball games
without any trouble. Last year we
won 10 and lost only two by the
middle Of June. Then they worked
us like mule and we went IS days
without a win. That shows some
thing"
asked Mrs. Dean II IL was true,
as Hickey told newspapermen last
year, that she attempted to insert
a clause In Dizzys contract which
would forbid the Cardinals from
publicizing him as Dizzy" and
force them to always use his full
and correct name Of Jerome Her.
man.
IF Hickey said that he is a liar,
and big one" was her none too
evasive answer, "his nickname has
been a great help to him. Paul Dean
hates to be called Daffy,' but Dizzy
likes Dizzy. That's all call him"

Mrs. Libby Recovers
 From Blood Poison;
 Back From Hospital

Mrs. Dan Libby returned from An chorage tuesday with Ralph Savory where she has been for the past two weeks undergoing medical treatment for blood poisoning.
 The infection started from a bruise above the ankle after lancing with a razor blade. After setting up for two days and nights applying hot poultices her condition growing steadily worse, Mir. Libby realized the necessity of im- mediate medical attention and called a plane
 Pilot Sayory answered the call, but was unable to get through the pass on account of weather conditions and was forced to return. The weather cleared the following morning, permitting the patient to be rushed through to the Anchorage hospital.
 The doctor nfoI med Mrs. Libby that she had arrived just in time. The in lection had travelled up above the knee with a red streak extending to the groin and the patient was in 3 very critical condition. Immediate at tention was given the case and the rapidly spreading infection was checked.
 Mrs. Libby speedily recovered un- der the sl.ined and efficient medical care given her during the ten days spent in -he hospital.
 We are glad to see her back, safe and well, spreading a few laughs and sunshine among her many friends in Takotna.
