Dizzy Dean

Major Loops

NEW YORK, April 10. tUP) -
Echoes of base hits. holdout bicker-
ings and Dean dollars" were heard
around the baseball globe today as
the major leagues put on their
grand opening with all Is clubs in
action. An estimated 228,000 per-
sons were expected to attend to-
days games.
Hits whistled around the ears of
the World Champion Yankees as
the Red Sox thumped them, "a,
in rain marred game before 10000
at Boston yesterday. Losing open
ing day games and winning worlds
championships are old customs with
the YankS and they may be slightly
supersitious about it by now. They
lost the opener in 1886 but won
the worlds title, and last year the
same thing happened.
In yesterdays other game Wash
ington shellacked the Athletics, 1913.
before 10000, including President
Roosevelt who threw out the first
ball
While these two games were in
progress, there enSued cross
continent verbal exchange between
Joe DiMaggio, most enduring hold
out in baseball annals, and Col.
Jake Rupert, multi millionaire
Yankee owner. Reports were cir
culated that DiMaggio was ready
to capitulate and accept Col Rup-
pertS preferred $25,000 Aroused
from his bed, DiMaggio said: mo,
my price is still $4,000 and the
restaurant business is good" In
Manhattan Col. Rupert said: He
accepts the $4,000 or he doesn't
play with the YankS. And for every
day he's away he will be docked
one days salary ($16235."
From st. Louis came the report
that the Browns had offered Out
fielder Beau Bell and $l50,000 for
the 23-year- old Italian center field
er. To this General Manager Ed
Barrow said, I'VE have no thought
of trading DiMaggio. There's moth
ing to it,"
P. K. Wrigley, Cubs owner, re-
vealed that he had paid the Cardi-
nails $185000 in cash in addition to
three players for Dizzy Dean. This
announcement silences all talk of
Dean having a dead arm"-or else
makes Wrigley the biggest fall guy
in baseball"
With S185000 IN the kitty it
seems certain that the Cardinals
will now buy another pitcher. AL
ready they have been turned down
on a feeler for Van Mungo, Brook
lyn's big firebalier Now they may
turn to the Phillies in an attempt
to get Bucky Walers or Claude
PaSSeau.
Although Bill Terry, Giants stoi-
cal boss, openly poohs poohs the
possibility of the Dean deal "mak-
ing the Cubs the team to beat in
the National league, it is known
that privately he's sad about the
transaction.

That's what ! think of the val

1t was Curley Vesey talking.
Vesey is pro at the Barbara Worth
links and in a better position than
anyone else to size up the valleys
eolfing talent. In addition. he was
in Tucson a few weeks ago. when
they played the 1887 Southwest. and
knows the caliber of competition
that will invade the Barbara Worth
course next spring.
With all due respect to the golf
ers we have here, only few Of
them have a chance with the hot
shots from the Phoenix area. and
they would have TO practice and
work like Trojans between now and
then. play tough matches three,
four times a week. 1t doesn't look
as though our 'hopefuls' will have
the chance.
If they don't work in the mean
time. I think it will be miracle
if a home player comes through.
And miracles are mighty scarce over
four rounds of match play"
Vesey named less than dozen

On August 26 of last year. in the
city of Philadelphia. Dizzy Dean
made two startling pitches with a
baseball that definitely ended his
chances of remaining as a mem
Der of the st. Louis Cardinals.
The fatal pitches were the first
two by Dean in the first inning
of game with the. Phillies. The
first pitch hit the top of the
screen back of home plate and the
second barely missed the press
box.
If you will turn back to the
papers of the morning of the 9th
you will read that Dean pitched
to only one batter in that game,
and that night was shipped off to
ST. Louis on the grounds that his
arm had gone bad again.
But his arm wasn't quite that
bad -Four days before he had
pitched we'll TO defeat the Pirates
