GRIMM HAPPY
 AS D|z STOPS
 BEES HAND|LY
Dean Finishes Stronger Than He Started as
 Cubs Win, } to
BY STEVE SNYDER United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Chicago, July 18-UP)-A new Dizzy Dean with foxy slow stuff in- stead of blow 'em down speed, promised the Chicago Cubs today a full return on their record $250,- 900 investment.
 Dean, the fireballer, Is washed up. The kink in his arm won't stand the overland pitching he used to love. In his place now is crafty, patient pitcher who has to do what other aging smoke throwers have had to do before him-pitch with his head.
 They said his slow stuff wouldn't get by in the National League but after 10 weeks on the shelf nursing his costly arm, Dig walked out yes- terday and whipped the Boston Bees to 1, for his fourth victory of the year He gave them only four hits and walked no one.
 Dean was so happy he jumped up and down. Mrs. Dean was so hap py, she cried. Owner Phil K. Wrig- ley, who gave three players and $185, ,00O in cash to the St. Louis Cardinals for Dean, also was hap py.
 T had to make good for those Cubs" Dean said. They sure been great to me even when I wasn't much good to them. I sure hope can give them their moneys worth
 Grimm says I can pitch again Thursday, but Shucks, I wanted to work the second game of that doubleheader yesterday. I was all warmed up."
 Manager Charlie Grimm con- graduated Dig but warned him, T don't want to hear any more about that arm. It's cured"
 The long rest since May 3 when he pitched his last game, has taken all the soreness from his arm and as long as he sticks to sidearming, it has its old strength. But side arm throwing isn't natural for Dean. His style is to rear back and let fly in long overland move- ment.
 T tried that once in the ninth inning just to see what'd happen" Dean said. Tt hurt"
 Dig struck out three batters and retired all but six on infield outs. Most of his deliveries had a tricky hop on them, only five of his even 100 pitches were curve balls.
 Dean apparently has been ready to go for a week or more. Grimm agreed the soft-hitting Bees were the logical victims for his come back but indicated that from now on he wouldn't pick spots for Dig.
 Since Dean said his arm felt good" and he finished stronger than he started, nobody thought Of calling in the doctors to see what the effort did to him.

BOWL
 TOURNEY OPENS
BY ROBERT WEBB United Press Staff Correspondent\

Chestnut Hill, Mass, July IS = (U.Po - Under the observing eyes of Walter L. Pate, non-playing Uni ted States Davis Cup captain, Americas leading tennis players to- day start battle in the 46th annual Longwood Bowl tournament on the historic grass of the Longwood Cricket Club.
 Although the field lacks the qual- ity Of years ago when little Bill Johnson, R. Norris Williams and Maurice Mclaughlin were compet- ing for possession of the bowl, that the tournament is regarded as an unofficial Davis Cup trial is certain to bring out the best tennis in the eastern season.
 Heading the list of hopefuls who start competition for the number two singles position on the Amer ioan Davis Cup team are Bobby Riggs of Los Angeles, Cal, and Frank Parker of New York City, ranked number two and three na- tionally, and the brilliant but cratic former Wimbledon champion, Sid- ney Wood, who essaying come back.
 The 20-year-old Riggs has all ready won the National Clay Courts championship in Chicago while Parker, sporting what he hopes is an improved forehand, is rapidly approaching top form. Wood has been practicing for sev- eral weeks in New York since his arrival from California with the in- tention of grooming himself for an- other Davis Cup berth.
 Seeded number one is the veteran Winner Allison of Austin, Texas, who retired Longwood bowl in 1887 by winning the tournament for the third time. The former national singles champion, who has become quite golfer, is followed in the seedlings by Riggs, Parker, Hal Sur face of Kansas City, Wood, Gardner Mulloy of Miami, Frank Kovacs of California, and Robert Harmon of California
 Following the withdrawal of the Japanese Davis Cup team, Charles Hare of England stands as the only foreign threat. The giant left handler, who represented England in the Davis Cup singles finals of year ago, has been consistently beaten by Parker whom he will meet in a lower bracket quarter final if seedlings run true.
 Among the leading unseeded players are Ernest Sutter, New Or leans; Elwood Cooke, Portland, Ore; William and Chester Murphy, Chi cago; Paul Guibord, Boston: Charles Shostrom, Chicago; Harold Hudson, Oakland, Cal, and dozen leading intercollegiate stars.
