and New York Giants to the Cubs, who badly needed new blood to guard against another fatal August slump.
 7 Dean summed it up himself:
 My reason for picking the Car dinals to win the pennant is with the Cubs now"
 It took three players and between $1OO,0OO and $15O,OO0 in cash, woe fully small amount compared to the price Dean once might have brought, to transfer the great one to Chi cago. Owner Phil K. Wrigley closed the deal Saturday night in long distance telephone conversation with Branch Hickey, vice president of the Cardinals.
 Wrigley tossed in pitchers Curt Davis and Clyde Shou and out fielder George (Tuck) Stainback with the cash. Those three report ed today as Dean was scrurrying over to Cincinnati to join the Cubs.
 Dean received his working orders from Manager Charley Grimm dur ing a two-hour mystery trip to Chi cago yesterday. He will pitch the second or third game against the Reds at Cincinnati and probably will face his old mates, the Car dinals, in debut as a Cub in Chi cago next Sunday.
 Still stunned by his sudden trans fer, he managed to smile and quip a little while he was nothing like his old self.
 He climbed off a train at 9:30 a. m., chatted with Grimm, ordered six new uniforms and was back on a train bound for St. Louis at 11:30. Even Cub officials appeared puzzled over wh y he made the trip.
 Not So Good
 Chicago fans, recalling the un- fortunate deals bringing Chuck Klein, Floyd (Babe) Herman, Curt Davis, Leroy Parmelee and Rip Collins to the Cubs, at first were jubilant, then skeptical, over the Dean swap.
 They wondered why the Cardinals, a pennant contender, would trade a man who might bring them home in front? Was there anything wrong with Dizzy's pitching arm?
 Dig says no. His one-hit perfor- nance in four innings against the New York Yankees during spring training also says no. But he was complained frequently of a sore arm and once was cinflned to bed with sinus infection.

LANDS HANDS OUT
 TWO S2O0 FINES

Chicago, April 18-UP)-Baseball Commissioner K. M. Landis, usually inaccessible in his skyscraper office, walked into the Chicago office of the United Press during his Easter morning stroll and scribbled out a decision on canary yellow copy paper.
 He fined the Cleveland Indians and New York Giants $200 each for protesting decisions of umpires and delaying spring training games. He fined the Giants for holding up a game "12 or Is minutes" at Hous- ton, Texas. The Indians were fined for a similar offense at Long View, : Texas, where Manager Oscar Volt finally took his team off the field.
 Landis tossed the paper across a desk.
 ''If you can't read it, just holler, he said and walked out.

 ReUieW
By STUART CAMERON Limited Press Sports EditOr)

New York, April 18-CUP)-1n- auguration of the big league base ball season is, of course, the news of the week in sports. And the one big item the fans were discussing was Saturdays surprising trade which moved Dizzy Dean from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Chicago Cubs.
 This trade probably was the most fabbergasting baseball deal of a decade. Although the dickering which preceded it had gone on for fully three weeks, when announced Saturday evening. it was all news.
 The baseball experts had already made their picks. As far as the Ma tional League is concerned, and as regards the Cubs and Cards in par ticular, the boys should be allowed a re-draft. Certainly our own George Kirksey wouldn'thav named the Cards as probably National League winners if he had known that they wouldn't have Dean.
 The Tanks start today without the services of Joe DiMaggio, and his absence, if it continues. certainly will have a noticeable effect on the standing of the New York club.
 Boxing Bits
 Boxing news of the week will come from Mike Jacobs cluttered office in the Hippodrome Theatre building. It will be his decision on the location of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling heavyweight championship priz fight to be held June g. Mike prom ised to make up his promotorial mind after Schmeling's fight with Steve Dudas was out of the way.
 United Press boxing expert Jack Cuddy who has done bit of ear-to- grounding on this engaging item believes the fight will be given to New York. Jim Braddock, in copy right story written for United Press thinks so too.
 If Jacobs does decide upon New York he will brave the anti-Nazi boycott on all Schmeling activities The force of this boycott, inciden- tally, has been grossly exaggerated For every fight fan who would skip a Schmeling fight as protest against Hitler, there is another who would go to it hoping to see some body lay one on MaXs well-muscled lug. And then there are some who just don't care.
 Week-End Sports
 Washington set two new course records at Seattle in scoring it's fourth successive sweep of the dual rowing regatta with California Columbia crews also made a grand slam. Columbia, dark horse of east ern crews, won varsity test on the Harlem river here, against Rutgers and Manhattan. Light blue shells also won in jayvee, freshman and freshman lightweight events.
 Mrs. H. c. Phipp's Shark won the Paumonok Handicap, feature test of the opening day of racing at Ja- maica. A record crowd of upwards of 10000 attended.
 Max Schmeling, in his final tune up bout prior to his title shot with Joe Louis. blasted out a five-round technical knockout over Steve Dudas of Edgewater, N. J. Reports were that Schmeling looked as gooc against Dudas as Louis did in his final tuneup with Harry Thomas. Sc now the Louis -Schmeling fight ar guments may start full blast.

HIS business of sons following
in their fathers footsteps seems
to be picking up so far as organized
baseball is concerned. In the big
leagues this year are six players
whose daddies were up in fast COM
pany a generation ago.
Probably the most spectacular of
the second-generation crop is young
Jim Bagby, twenty-one-year-old son
of old Sergeant Jim Bagby, who
won 81 games for Cleveland in 1920
and was the pitching mainstay of
the Indians successful worlds
series drive that year against the
Brooklyn Dodgers. Old Jim was
leisurely screw-ban thrower. Young
Jim, pitching for the Boston Red
Sox, specializes on a fast ball with
a sharp-breaking curve In his
