Speaking Of Sports
Dean Through?
No One Knows
Final Sentence.
By ROBERT McSHANE

ny NOOcItx MCSk1ANE
Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
WHEN the one and only Dizzy
" Dean pitches his last game Of
baseball for the Chicago Cubs-and
that can well happen in the not too
distant future-it will furnish field
day for every sports scribe in the
nation.
For the Incompatible Dig is the
sole individual cast from that par
ticular mold. He is "Mr. BASEBALL
to hundreds of thousands Of fans
who can recite pitching records as
readily as Junior can tear through
the multiplication tables. Other
men are more important to base
ball. Even the most ardent Dean
roOter would hesitate before calling
him an elevating influence in the
baseball world. But none Of them
captured the public fancy as did
Dir.
1t was only six years ago that
Dean won 30 games as St. Louis cap
tured the National League pennant
and the World Series. Today, the
pitcher for whom the Chicago Cubs
paid s185,000 in cash probably will
be relegated to the permanent role
of relief pitcher.

Your Companion

Maybe you neper stopped to think
about IL, says Kathleen Norris, but
there really is only one companion
that you hare throughout your life and
that is 80. YOU.
Finding out just trhaf that compan.
ion is like, phaf she sranfs and doesn't
,Danf, phaf she needs and doesn't need
is the job erery poman should take
upon herself.
Age 'creeps up on q person and all
the things that seem important to young
sComen aren't really that important.
Find out iUtaf you need to prepare
for old age. Prepare yourself for il
and il iUiu be the happiest period Of
your life. Don't prepare and you'll
lire to regret that you didn't.

on this season. In his first start,
against st. Louis, he was knocked
out in the fifth inning, after yielding
five runs and seven hits. The next
game saw him beat Cincinnati on
five hits.
His next start, against St. Louis,
saw him head for the showers in the
fifth, after allowing five runs and
eight hits. In his last game as a
regular, every fourth game starter,
the Phillies got to him for eight hits
and four runs in less than five
full innings.
That record is far cry from st.
Louis Cardinal days. With that
team he won 134 games during his
stay Of seven years.
The Vagaries of Dir
Dizzy and Manager Hartnett
seemingly operate on a day-to-day
basis. When things are going right
with the great one, Gabby is the
salt of the earth and a joy forever.
When no silver lining can be seen
peeping through the dark clouds,
then Gabby, in Deans opinion, is a
second rate manager of third rate
team. For the most part, however,
Gabby has looked with philosophical
resignation on the outbursts of his
moundsman.
Deans escapades, adventures and
holdout sieges have furnished star
Ting sports (and even 'front.' page
copy for many a year. Dir is the
only player in existence who has
enjoyed the unforgettable expe-
rience of being bitten by a tele-
phone.
His early-season TRADES against
Hartnett were superb. Even Gabby
must have been proud of his pitch
er's originality and forthrightness
when he felt he wasn't being given
a fair chance to demonstrate his
comeback.
Now Dizzy is close to the twilight
Of his career in the big leagues.
Owner Wrigley has not indicated
what disposition he will make of
Dean. In fact, he hasn't even indi-
Gated that he will get rid of him.
But chances are that Dir won't grow
old with the Chicago Cubs.
Value Received?
with the record he's made
don't know who we could trade him
to now" said Wrigley. Fright at
this time we haven't any deals in
volving Dir under consideration.
Whether or not the owner of the
Cubs thinks that he received full
value for his $l85, 900 is debatable.
But the fact remains that the magic
words Dean to pitch" pulled lot
Of spectators through the turn
stiles at Wrigley field during the

One More Chance

p. X. Wrigley, owner of the Cubs,
has given Dizzy a square deal. So
has Manager Gabby Hartnett.
They've been willing, SO far, to
give "just one more chance" to a
spectacular, up-and-down, headline
making pitching career.
When Cub officials first discussed
the role Of reserve moundsman for
their great one, he had started in
every fourth game since the open
ing of the 1910 campaign pro-
gram planned to answer once and
for all whether he could be depended

ship. She has been daughter, wife,
mother, housekeeper for a long
quarter of a century. And these
have been happy years, proud years,
years full of the joys of trips and
frocks, parties and flattery and SELF
confidence.
But they have vanished now. And
now comes HER time; the time
when she can be most truly and
wholly herself. Her small house is
veritable kingdom with its gar
den, its dog or its cats, its visits
from adored grandchildren, its quiz
eter visits from old friends. In plan
ming trips, in club work and chari-
ties, in easy hours and easy dress
ing and games of dominoes or crib
bage or backgammon with a few
tried and true neighbors and friends.
are real pleasure.
If the companion Of her youth is
still beside her, all this felicity is
doubled. But even if he is not, rich
and ripe and useful living is still
hers.
Tame and Uninteresting.
Now, unfortunately, this paradise
of the middle years sounds extreme
ly dull, to youth. It sounds tame
and uninteresting to the last degree.
Youth never will change ideals with
age; it hates the thought. Age is
no more convinced that it never will
be youth than is youth sure it never
can grow old.
And SO many a woman who could
be planning now for her later years
draws away in repugnance from the
thought of them. Whatever she is
when she's old-and to her As is
old-she knows she'll hate it. So
why think about it?
Why train her character to de-
sire what is true and lasting; why
search into her own soul and de-
velop its miraculous resources? Why
deny herself and the children su-
perfluous luxuries and extrava-
gances now, to gain the superlative
comfort Of financial security for her
old age? Why form taste for fine
books, for language study, for gar
dening, for any one of a hundred
interests and avocations, when to-
day there are movies and beauty
parlors and flirtations and night
clubs to fill her time?
What is the answer?
Ask yourself why.
Answer Is Apparent.
The answer is that if you knew
that in Is or 80 years you had to
move to a strange country, a coun-
try in which the eyes you use now
could see nothing, in which your
present ears could hear nothing, of
whose language and customs you
know nothing. you would certainly
prepare to make that change. You
would study the conditions, the linn
itations and opportunities Of the peo-
pie Of that country; master its lam
guage; cultivate few friends who
must make that journey with you.
Middle age, old age, can be q
long peaceful holiday. A useful hol-
iday-not by any means an idle hol-
iday. But q happy time in which q
woman who has done her honest
share Of living in the younger years
can find endless interest, thousand
absorbing occupations, complete
peace Of spirit.
That's something worth achievingi

/ And when you're a utilities king,

Somebody should have told pop.
When he first came from the old
country, he used 10 sell candles

Utilities, huh?"
Kit regarded the picture thought
fully. Its funny the way things
get divided up, and the way peo-
pie aren't satisfied with what
they've got. Take this girl .
she's got security and money and
social position, and looks, and a

wrong.
Kit said, "Oh, we'll :"
Fran studied the women's page.
After a moment, her eye rested on
an item and she said, Turkey

She demanded, as sharp rap
sounded on their door.

coincidence that brought them un'
der the same roof, a fate that
crossed the paths of Kit Reilly ano
Fran and Mana Harris.
The orchestra struck up lively
and slightly off-key version o1
Dixie and the curtains parted
ierkily. The girls picked up the
song and walked hand-in-hand to
the center of the minute platform.
From there they went to L min
uet in taps which was their double
number. The dance finished, they
bowed off stage.
Kit returned alone, having a lit
tie difficulty in achieving grace
and staying within the radius OF a
wavering spotlight. The piano and
violin gave her the opening notes
of There's a Girl in the Heart OF
Maryland'' in low ley. She sang
it slowly, huskily and sweetly.
Cheers and stamping feet greet
ed her, but Kit held out her hand
to the wings and Fran came on to
do a solo waltz before Kit Joined
her in second song.
In the third row Of the audience,
Mana Harris felt her breath catch

low that only Howard Balch could
hear her.
Very NICE" he said.
'W-what?"
"You are"
"I'm talking about the girl. The
little heart of Maryland.

He did. 1T doesn't do any good.

chorus of Lovely to Look At"
His face was blank.
