Yes, it seemed logical that Dickey
might be through-logical to almost
everybody except Bill himself. Down
south this spring he went about his
business as quietly as usual. If he
was worried about this crucial seas
on in his career, he gave no sign
of 1t. He didn't issue statements
about how he planned a rip-roaring
comeback, but as soon as the reg
ular season opened his bat began to
talk for him. Then it began to shout
for him.
The shouting was loud enough to
restore Dickey to the position he
held around the American league
until his slump last year-the most
dangerous clutch hitter in the cir
cult. He seldom piled up on over
whelming batting average, but sur
prisingly few of his hits were vast
ed. He hit when hits meant runs
and to guage his true effectiveness
you have to look at the runs batted
in" column of the averages. For
the four seasons previous to 1910
he knocked in more than 100 runs
each year. Last season he slumped
to 54.
His slump as much as anything
else caused the collapse of the Yam
KEGS last year. At this writing, they
don't look exactly like ball of fire
but if it wasn't for Dickey's fine
playing they would look much worse.
More than any other man, he holds
the team together.
There's no telling how long he
will last now that he's back in his
stride. He will be "a next month
and he mayhave several years of
good baseball left. One thing is
certain-people are not going to be
so quick next time IN arranging his
baseball funeral.

painful injury would not permit
his Striding properly.
He could not control the ball in
the later innings.
But the plucky Walters stuck to
his guns had it when he had
to have it.
He famed Pete Coscarat with
the bases full to retire the side in
the ninth.
Because his teammates are hav-
ing SO much trouble hitting the
ball out of the infield, if at all,
Walters took the law into his own
hands in the l1th.
With two out, the old third base
man raped bit over Shortstop
Pee Wee Reese, and his bum hip
didn't stop him from racing to
second base like a Harold Davis
and getting there with slide that
would have done credit to George
Washington Case.
Jcost singled Walters home with
the winning run, but our hero, who
is never ruffled, had to strike out
the left-hand and dangerous pinch
hitters, Pete Reiscr and Blimp
Phelps, with the bases full to clinch
the argument.
1t was a dramatic finish to the
Dodgers nine-game winning streak
three at the expense of the
Reds.
AS the club returned to Crosley
Field no Cincinnati pitcher had
won without having held the enemy
to three runs for less.
Paul Derringer was twice beaten,
So, once on a four-hitter.
Johnny Wander Nicer struck out
IL Phillies . giving him Al Whiffs
in 43 innings yet was defeated.
So little help doesn't exactly
bolster a pitching staff's morale,
but when the other hurler is tight,
Bucky Walters is stingier, and Gin
cinnatis grand competitor makers
his own breaks.

INTEREST LACS
In TRAINING OF
YOUTHS HERE
CLASSES WITH LESS THAN
TEN ENROLLED WILL NOT
BE CONDUCTED UNDER
PROGRAM OUTLINED

Training as radio operator un-
der National Youth Administra-
ton and the state board of educa-
ton today appeared in imminent
danger of being eliminated, be-
cause of the failure of enough Key
West young men to enroll for the
classes.
Federal regulations provide that
no class may be continued with
less than 10 students, which is
the number now enrolled for the
radio course. Starting with an en-
rollment of So, attendance at the
classes has dropped off rapidly
in recent weeks, reaching its pre-
sent level of 10 in the past few
days.
/. L. Murray, education depart
ment superintendent here, and
local business men interested in
finding work for youths, have
pointed out that the class offers
one of the most valuable possible
trade courses.
Many local boys in the 16 to "a
age limit are working on jobs
where the end of the defense
boom will find them no better
able to earn a living than they
were before, Murray pointed out.
The radio course, which is held
daily from 8 a. m. to noon, offers
chance at paying and expand
ing trade where many new open
ings are anticipated after other
defense jobs will have been COM
pleted.
Under the existing program,
youths taking the course will
study here for three months, with
the prospect, if they are able to
pass speed and theory examine
tons, OF completing their train
ing in an exhaustive eight-months
course at New London, Conn.
All expenses at the New Lon
don government school are paid,
and graduates will be assured of
work as radio operators upon
completion of their training.
Murray pointed out that SIM
liar training has been highly
expensive affair, and does offer
better prospects than almost any
similar course. The recently es-
tablished high school here is the
first ever opened in Key West.
Even from the standpoint of
getting groundwork as anna
teur operators, Murray said il is
difficult to see why the course
would not be in demand.
