LOS ANGELES, Feb. "a. CUP)-
While Admiral Gabby Hartnett
bundled his Chicago Cub battery
men off on a 34-mle voyage to
winter quarters on Santa Catalina
island today jerome Herman
(Dizzy) Dean passed along the word
that he'll be in there Jogging them
again this year.
Dizzy says he'll have to be fog
ging them; he owes big debt to
Owner P. K. Wrigley, and the team.
I've had complete rest during
the winter and my arm feels perfect
now" the Great explained genially
while he swung his priceless right
limb to illustrate his words. II only
hope it stays that way and doesn't
break apart again in the summer.
I don't think it will.
The sunshine over there on
Catalina island should fix me up
okay and III be ready to give the
Cubs all I've got. You see, I feel
I have to. Boss Wrigley, Boss Cab:
by and all the boys on the team
have been awfully swell to me.
intend to repay them this year with
a lot of wins.
Flow many? Well, of late I'm
not much of hand to talk unless
know what I'm talking about.
Truthfully, don't know how many
I can win, because that depends
on too many things. Just say OF
Diz will be doing his leveling best.
That's about all guy can do, now
isn't it?"
Dean came here with his wife,
Patricia, and another Cub pitcher,
Bill Lee. He and Lee we're the first
to greet Hartnett and the arriving
Chicagoans when they stepped off
a train, climbed aboard a bus and
set off to catch their steamer.

Bernard Shaw Saws
Honor InsuIfsHim

LONDON, Feb. "a (UP)-George
Bernard Shaw said Enthusiastically
today that Hollywood had given him
an "insult" along with its award
for his "Pygmalion" as the out
standing screen writing of the year
"It is an insult for them to offer
me any honor. They might as well
send some honor to King George
VI for being the only king in Eng
land.
"Of course it's a good film. It's
the only film, but it wouldn't have
been if Hollywood had made it.
They would have used my name as
a famous author and then handed
the play to callboy or someone
to adapt for the films"

Is that players will not be allowed
TO drop away from houses, sheds,
telephone poles or any part of
course upkeep that is fixed or
growing.
For the duration of the tourna-
ment, at least, all buildings will
be played as natural hazards and
there will be no dropping away
from anything" Don Rex, chair
man of the rules committee, said
This will go far toward eliminating
inevitable arguments, he pointed
out
Only exceptions to this are sprin-
kler holes, ant hills and gopher
holes. Players may drop away from
these regardless of where they are,
but still without improving their
position or stance. Fairway stakes
may be removed, but they are the
only fixed objects which may be
moved.
Players will be permitted to tee
up anywhere in their own fairway,
so long as they do not improve their
positions, and do not move the ball
more than one club length. This
means that the actual lie of the

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. "a.
(UP)-Don't feel sorry for "Lippy"
Leo Durocher. new manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
Leo said today he knew what he
was doing when he surrounded
himself with the biggest brain
trust" in baseball.
Durocher, who talked himself
into the job, has board of strategy
composed Of Chuck Dresser, for
mer manager of the Cincinnati
Reds, and Bill Killifer, ex-boss of
the st. Louis Browns and Chicago
Cubs.
And as if that weren't enough
Leo also hired Tony Lazzeri, who
has managerial aspirations and
who spurned another year with the
Cubs when Gabby Hartnett STEP
ped in ahead of him and replaced
Charlie Grimm. To all intents and
purposes the 35-year- old Lazzeri is
a second base candidate but there
are few who believe that.

ball may be bettered. but it cannot
be moved from behind tree so
that the player will have an open
shot to the green, or moved in any
way so that the player will have an
easier shot, except insofar as the
lie is concerned. The one-club-
length ruling applies everywhere
within a players own fairway, even
on the bare ground parts of the
links.
Players also may tee UP while
ON the green, but they must not
improve their line to the hole.
If the ball lies in a divot hole they
may move it to one side, but if a
divot hole lies between the ball
and the hole they must play from
that line.
The pond adjacent to No. II
green will be played as out of bounds
and a player knocking a ball into
it will be required to drop ball
as near as possible to where he
struck the first one and shoot
again, with loss of distance. For
example, If a player knocks his
second shot into the pond he would

GREENSBORO DOCTOR HAS

FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

Greensboro, N. C. March 80 (By
E. L. Hercules, Calvin Service)-
DIR. c. C. Stewart, a native of
Darliston, Westmoreland, Jamaica,
BWI, has made an enviable record
during the past twenty-five years
in which he has been a practicing
physician and surgeon here. A
graduate of Howard University,
Washington, d. c., from which he
finished with high honors, he then
entered the Howard Medical school
and finished at the head of his
class, beides receiving many prizes
for high scholarship. He served
his interneship at Freedman's Hos
pital, and later did some special
study under DR.. Curtis and DIR.
Carson, two leading surgeons of
the national Capital.
From the time that DR.. Stewart
started his practice here until the
present, he has rendered yeoman
service to the community. Although
no has been p%racticing for a quar-
ter of a century DR.. Stewart al
ways keeps abreast of the times
by visiting the various leading eli
MICS in all parts of the country.
He may be considered a pioneer
in Negro hospital work in North
Carolina. He had much to do with
the founding of the L. Richardson
Memorial Hospital, which is one
