Skeets Dickey is Ringer for Bill,

He Has to be Only

BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Services Sports Editor

NEW YORK, June %
Another Dickey is catching in
the American League, and if he
stirs up half as much trouble
as his illustrious brother, rivals
will be just as well pleased that
there are no more at home like
Bill and George.
Rogers Hornsby, who had him
in Oklahoma City last season,
predicted that George, or Skeets,
Dickey would be the White Sox's
first-string backstop by mid
June.

slump, Mike fresh, the work
horse, gave the younger Dickey
d grand opportunity to make the
Rajah an accurate prognostica-
tor.
It was fitting that Skeets Dick
ey should catch his first full mai
or league games in Yankee Stad-
ium, where his brother skyrock-
eted to renown.
You can't tell the Dickeys
apart from the stand.
Their weight is the same,
though Skssts at 6 feet three is
an inch and q half taller. They
take the same position behind
the bat, throw alike. Skeets, a
switch hitter, has Bills rhythmi-
cal swing.
BELTS HOMERS
LIKE BILL
Skeets Dickey celebrated his
first start with the Chicagos by
batting in two runs to beat the
New Yorks, 80.
The following afternoon he
demonstrated he has all of Sweet
Williams power by betting one
of Marvin Breuer's hard ones in
to the right field stand.
1t took Skeets Dickey eight
years to crash the big show.
Bill got there in half that time
was in 100 games and batted
1924 for the Yankees when he
was %. The Yanks and Red
Sox passed Skeets along, but he
is turning rs, so should be on the
active list some time after the
34-year-old Bill calls 1t a career.
Until Mule Haas and Hornsby
got hold of him in Oklahoma
City Skeets was unable to catch
or hit anything like Bill.
He batted 315 in III games in
the Texas League, a pitchers cir
cult, to attract the a. ntion of
Jimmy Dykes.
He hit 1873 as a pinch hitter

Comes Back
Knuekle Bollev
Sparks Dodgers
BY GAYLE TALBOT

Associated Press Sports Writer
OWhat might prove one of the
most significant victories of the
National League race. was pcor-
ed by Fat Freddie Fitxsimmons
of the Dodgers yesterday when
he licked Pittsburgh. 8 to &, In
one of the days two big-league
games.
The win did more than just
boost Brooklyn within . half
game of the idle st. Louis Cards.
II afforded almost positive proof
that Fitzsimmons, the wonder
veteran who won 10 and lost
only two last year, Il at last
ready to begin taking . weekly
turn for a team that has pennant
fever.
This means that the Cardinals
from now on have even q more
desperate job on their hands
trying to fight off the MacPhails.
The Importance of Fitz being
in there at regular intervals
even If only against second-div.
ision outfits-scarely can be
over-estimated. He supplied the
one thing Brooklyn has shown
signs of seriously needing-re-
lief for Whit Wyatt, Hugh
Casey and Kirby Higbe.
Fitz, who will turn 40 about
. month from now. showed no
sign yesterday of the sprained
back that kept him from start
ing q game until May 20. The
Pirates nicked him for seven
hits in as many innings before
he yielded to a pinch-hitter (and
more about that later) in the
eighth, but he was steady as q
rock in the right spots and would
have held the Pirates to Q single
run if .second-baseman Pete
Coscarart had not fumbled .
grounder in the sixth and open
ed the way for three scores.
The victory was Fits third
straight and his 18th in . row
over the Pirates. It gives him
the astonishing record of 10 wins
against two losses, counting last
year.
