 Tampa, Fla, March 25. (UP)- Quick squirts from the Citrus Chau- tauqua
 Paul Dean is worried less than anybody else about whether his sal ary arm loses that tired feeling. Paul says he has $10,000 banked away in Dallas and that he and his wife and little Deanie can sub sist on dollar day. So that gives them lot of days if Daffy has his figures right. Pepper Martin is the only member of the Cardinals who operates completely outside the law Frankie Frisch and Sam Bread on think so much of Pepper that he can do no wrong. He has his own Hill-Billy orchestra, he captains a broadjumping team and generally does about as he pleaseS. They haven't forgot that World Series where he ran Mickey Cochrane of the Philadelphia Athletics crazy and won the thing practically single handed. The boys think they detect slight mellowing of Joe Medwick. He hasn't swung on anybody yet this spring and spends hours sitting around his room reading letters from home. There's new member of the MedWick menage, weight eight and one-half pounds, and Joe is almost certain he isn't left handler.
 Joe Cronin of the Red Sox thinks he'll finish no worse than fourth this year, and predicts notch higher than that if he can uncover one young pitcher capable of win ming 10 games. Joe, himself, hasn't been hitting the size of his sun bon net so far. . Dolf Camilli, new member of the Brooklyns, arrived in camp at Clearwater with a car-full of children and made hit with the assembled photographers by adopt ing any pose you can think of. He seemed happy to be with the Dodgers, and that's news. :. .. Larry MacPhail, who had his little diff ferences with Judge Landis in the recent bygone at Cincinnati, knew the judge was preparing to pop down on the Cardinals days ago, and said so. Only nobody took him very seriously. .. None Of the clubs in Florida has lost a day from train ing yet, and the Cincinnati Reds al- ready have denied four reports that they will desert Tampa for Louisi- ana or Texas next spring. Don't snicker, because the way these red legs are looking under f1ghtin' Will MKechnie right now they're likely to get sheaf of invitations next winter.
 The Yankees expect to hear from Joe DiMaggio any day now. Joe Mccarthy has his center field job waiting for him, whenever he makes up his mind to take those $25, ,000. Nobody's worried about it, any more than they're in a dither about win ming another American league flag. AS cocky crew as ever you saw. .. One team that's failed to attract the pennant pickers so far: Wash ington. Even with Zeke Bonura on first, the Senators still have too many left-hand hitters in their line up, and their pitching staff lacks the necessary class Casey Stengel, who's gone serious, resents re- port that the Cardinals are about to trade him out of his star catcher, Al Lopez The press box steps at Bradenton are sleeper than bill for four at Jack Dempsey's. I know, because I felt them all in the small of my back Even the army flyers are feeling the influence of spring. Pilots of some 18 speedy little pea shooters" belonging to Uncle Sam all war regulation baseball caps, to shield their eyes when the sun NstartS glinting on the metallic wings.
