DIE NOT RID OF. ARM TROUBLE IN
 COLD WEATHER
Cubs Star Hit Hard in Benefit Game; Crippled
 StrattOn Gets $3O,00O
By STEVE SNYDER

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Chicago, May 2. CUP)-The Dizzy Dean case remained one of base balls major mysteries today but one thing is certain: the Great Dig is no cold weather pitcher.
 Deans so-so- performance against the White Sox in Monty Strattons benefit game indicated that what ever effective pitching he contrib utes to the Chicago Cubs cause this year will be in the heat of the sum- mer-not the spring or fall.
 A noted physician said cold wealth. CT would tighten his ailing arm and it certainly loked like it yesterday to the 25,594 fans, who turned over an estimated purse of $30000 to the crippled Stratton. The White Sox swarmed over Dean with four hits and three runs in the third inning, two more hits and another run in the fourth to clinch the ball game, Al.
 Big John Whitehead was credited with the victory, but the big win ner was Stratton himself. The for mer ace of the SoX staff, who lost his right leg in hunting accident last November, received the entire proceeds of the game, the profits ot all Comiskey park concessions in- cluding automobile parking and the pennies donated by all newsboys selling papers and ScorecardS near the grounds.
 Uncertain
 Dean apparently will be just as much of problem child as he was last season, when his $185, ,0O0 pitch ing arm first went on the blink. He complained of the cold weather, but failed to report any soreness to Manager Gabby Hartnett. He pitched some good. live balls to me and some were pretty bad Hartnett said. "He didn't say his arm was tired or sore It just wasn't his day"
 Several White SoX players said they'd just as soon bat against Dig every day in the week If thas's all the stuff he's got on the ball
 Although Dean reportedly ha, ad- vanced so far in his ''cure" that he could swing those famed overland pitches once more he started against the Sox with the same tantalizing slow stuff that won him seven vic tories against one defeat in the suc- cessful National league campaign of the Cubs in 1888.
 Fell Apart
 i He worked easily the first two inn ings, although an error by Dick Bartell put him in trouble in the seccnd inning. In the third, he went to pieces with two men out and al- lowed successive singles to Luke Ap- bling, Eric McNair, Larry Rosenthal and Mike Kreevich, good for three runs. A double by Joe Kuhel and a single by Gee Walker cost him an- other run in the fourth inning and he retired for pinch hitter Jim G-eescn in the Cub half of tbe fifth.

Braddock, Nearly
 Broke Again, To Start Comeback

New York, May 2-(UP)-JameS J. Braddock, the relief-to-royalty man who is almost broke again, an- nounced today that he is returning to the ring.
 Braddock said he will try to blast dollars from the hides of Tommy Farr, Max Schmeling and Tony Gal ento.
 Jersey James, former heavyweight hampton, says. T might fight my way to another meeting with Cham pion Joe Louis. Maybe I would knock him out. and maybe wouldn't. Meanwhile there is no other heavyweight who can do me any harm. That's why I'm staging a comeback"
 When Braddock says that, he challenges Tommy Farr of Wales, who is Braddock's hate affinity Farr detests Braddock because Brad deck wen a 10-round decision over Tommy on Jan. 21. 1938 Old man Braddock teat Farr after his great showing with Champion Louis. He not only beat Farr, he mace him look ridiculous. And Farr never has forgotten it. Not even after Farr obtained the managerial ser vices of Joe Gould.
 One Big Pay
 Braddock and his manager could pick up $296000 when Jim lost the title to Louis ill '37. They had to pay off more than $70,000 they owed to Pomoter Mike Jacobs and others-to say nothing of theii taxes.
 Since that first and only good col lection Braddock ever made, Jersey James and Gould have invested their moneys in a trucking business and in a restaurant business. BotlI failed. Hence today both want fresh money.
 Manager Gould says, T never could permit Braddock to return t. the ring unless he demanded it. do not want him to range along with other ex-champs who are try ing to come back. like Tony CanZo- neri, Al Brown. Freddie Miller, etc
 Braddock says, T will start box. ing tomorrow at Stillman's gym Already I have been working out running through the hills-for more than a month. I will be in peal shape when I tangle with any O the contenders. I expect to tape! into condition by meeting Farr ol Eddie Phillips or Len Harvey 0, Croonin' Jack Doyle in England After that we'll talk to Louis"

YANKEES, MINUS DI M MACCI0, GET A SEVERE TEST
Gehrig May Be Benched as Western Trip Starts;
 Bees No Flash in Pan
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)


 New York. May 2 (UP) - Opening of the major leagues first inter-sectional games today prom ised to shed some light on baseballs two timeliest topics:
 What will the Yankees do without Joe DiMaggio?
 Can the Boston Bees keep up their hot pace?
 Those two questions are likely to be the livest in baseball circles dur ing the east-west clashes of the next 10 days. The Tanks, along with the rest of the Eastern American League clubs, will swing through the west without the services of their cleanup hitter and sparkplug, Dl- Maggie. who was hitting cool .435 when he tore the muscles in his leg on the wet turf at Yankee Stadium Saturday.
 More than one smart baseball man his insisted that DiMaggio is what makes the Tanks go. His loss comes at a particularly tough time as Lou Gehrig, who has been hitting No. 5. is batting a mere .143. It seems certain that DiMaggio's loss for 10 days or longer will result in the dropping of Gehrig to lower spot -.l the batting order, or, worse still, if he doesn't start to hit, to his complete benching For the. time be- ing George Selkirk will play left field and Jake Powell and Tommy Heinrich will alternate in center and Joe Gallagher and Charlie Keller will alternate in right.
 Solid Stuff
 It begins to look as if the Bees are no flash in the pan as the Eastern National League clubs make ready for the invasion from the west, headed by the second-place Reds and theird-place Cubs. They have been getting phenomenal pitching and are playing smart baseball. Bill Posedel. the Dodger castoff, made the Bees look even more dangerous when he set the Giants down with four hits yester- day. He held the Giants hitless until the seventh and won easily, 7-2. It was the Bees fourth straight and enabled them to climb into undls- puted possession of the National League lead.
 The Giants have plunged to with ill one game of the cellar. Tester days was their flint straight loss For a club Bill Terry called "the best I ever managed" this spring the Giants look rather feeble Their pitching has been sour, their infield is cumming up plays, and the expected power has failed to de- velop. George Myatt spiked Billy Jurges when he ran in front of the shortstop and tried to handle Cooney's grounder. Only Ott ano Bonura are hitting over 300 and even Zeke now hitting .314 is begin ming to find the National League pitching little more than he bar gained for.
 At Long Last
 Pittsburgh snapped it's eight game losing streak and knocked Cincinnati off the top by beating the Reds, 2-1. Truett Sewell outpitchec Whitey Moore, who was wild. John- ny Rizzo drove in both of the Plr: ates' runs with his two double.
 Brooklyn outlasted the Phillies tt win a wild game, 1912. The Dodgers blew a six-run lead in the nintt when the Phils scored seven runs but won out in their half when La vagettas single drove in two tallles Whit Wyatt, who came on the scene in the ninth, was the Dodgers win. ming pitcher.

At the final meeting of managers before opening games of the 1889 City Amateur League season, held last night in the Y. M. O. A., um- pires, Bill Stanton, Dick Tuckey of Naugautck, and Leno Costaldo were chosen by the managers for the sea- son which opens May IA at Hamil- ton Park.

u Z received
from a friend in Paris, In Berlin
until September 6. a letter with
some interesting notes and conjec-
ture about Germany's great real
politik" specialist and whisky sales
man. 1t is, in part as follows:
"Von Ribbentrop sold this Soviet
deal to Hitler-he and nobody else.
Hitler did, does and will hate Stain
like rattlesnake. Just how Won
Ribbentrop slicked him into this
combine, nobody knows, but in Ber-
lin nobody doubts for a minute that
that is just what happened.
"The Junkers and old Reichswehr
leaders hate Ribbentrop the way
Stain and Hitler hate each other.
To them the foreign minister is the
head devil in all Germany's troubles.
The killing of Gen. Won Fritsch
didn't help any. You can put me
down for a small bet that, when
and If Germany cracks, it won't be
the people caving init will be the
old Reichswehr generals prying
loose the army and finishing Hitler.
After that, with something like
the old pre-l914 government in Ger
many, England and France will be
clear to work up their old four
power policy and get Russia in the
ooghouse again. There is reason
to believe that France and England
are hgurlng this possibility ahead
and that is the reason why they
are just inching along in the war"
Columbus, like Won Ribbentrop
was a travelling salesman and, also
like Won Ribbentrop, got his real
start by marrying into the minor
nobility. There the parallel ends,
with one discovering a continent
and the other trying to grab one,
In the pre-war years. Won Ribben-
trops job was to convince the world
that Germany didn't have as much
as a bean-shooter in the way of
fighting tools. He spread this idea
in France and England, putting
the finger on Russia as the great
world menace. 1t is now clear that
Hitler's policy of feinting at Russia
and lunging at Britain was schemed
out by the suave, elegant, go-getter
foreign minister.
Possibly no great figure of the
old diplomacy has ever given map
makers so many hurry-up jobs as
has this virtuoso of the new di-
plomacy." Almost as much as
Franz Won Papen, he helped to
boost Hitler to power. In 1886, he
became Ambassador to Great Brit
ain-winning many friends among
the innocent British, and convinc-
ing them to the last that Stain was
their only enemy.
