jerome H. Dean, one of Dallas

this slant on baseball in wartime {:
The game owes too much to the
public not to go ahead despite
the troubles of transportation and
manpower shortage.
Jerome H. Dean speaks as a
private citizen and public figure
because he is none other than the
Dizzy Dean who gave baseball
cutie a fling in the glorious thir-
ties.
.The people need baseball and
they want it," said Dizzy. ''There
will be enough fellows to play al

DEAL IS CLOSED
WITH LOOP FOR
ABOUT $4,000
Wealthy New York Sports
man Realizes Old Ambition
Of Owning A Club
BY TED MEIER

| GU ~
Husky, ikable 33-year-old William
D. BilD Cox, wealthy New York
sportsman, purchased the last
place Phi1s from the National lea
que today. The price was not dis
closed, but unofficial estimates
placed it in the neighborhood OF
$3.50, 900.
Thus Cox, who in grammar
school days used to watch the N.
Y. Yankees play at the Polo
grounds, realized boyhood ambi-
ton of owning major league base
ball club, and the league solved
what its president, Ford Frick,
termed the philadelphia prob
lem."
The transaction in which Cox
and his syndicate of 10 unnamed
associates purchased the club took
place in the Phils' downtown Of
flee in the Packard building.
Reads Statement
Frick called reporters into the
office where on Thursday the lea
que had formally taken over the
club from Gerry Nugent and read
the following statement:
1.-THE National League has to-
day signed memorandum OF
agreement with William D. Cox
and his associates for the pur-
chase of the Philadelphia Nation
al league club. This agreement
will turn the club over to Cox and
his associates on March 8. y
'Mr. Cox and his associates
have given assurance to the lea
que of their ability to finance and
conduct the club in manner to
make it a source of pride both to
the league and the fans of Phila-
delphia.
''The league will be proud to
welcome Mr.. Cox and his associ-
ates into the National league or
ganization.
Solve Problem
While the dark-haired Cox form
er Yale university catcher, sat
beside him, smiling, Frick con-
tinued: 'I believe we have solved
the Philadelphia problem. He is
not miracle man. I don't want
anyone to think the Phils will get
into the world series this year. We
all know it will take years to build
the club up
Cox declared he would "get to
work first thing Monday morn
ing" cleaning up some loose ends
in his New York office and return
to Philadelphia Tuesday or We'd
nesday. The Phils office will re-
main in the Packard building.
"First thing we've got to do"
he said "is to arrange for a spring
training site. I haven't read any
of the correspondence, but I I'M
derstand there are several offers
since the plan to train at Swarth-
more college was abandoned. Mel
ther do we plan to sell any play
ers."
Cox said he would disclose the
names of his 10 associates ''some-
time next week" At that time
he also plans to announce his Sc
lection of a business manager and
possibly his field manager.
In. this connection he mentioned
the name of Bill Dickey, catcher
for the New York Yankees, Frank
Lefty" O'Doul, manager of the
San Francisco Seals; and Pepper
Martin, manager of the Rochester
Red Wings. He indicated Hans

bread knife?
Don't worry, says WPB's Con-
sumner Durable Goods Division
any thin sharp blade will do to
cut the bread that bakers aren't
allowed to slice any more.
The wavy-edged bread knife,
WPB says, was designed back in
the '90s, when bread was baked
at home and sliced while still hot.
A straight-edged knife will cut
bread easily after it has cooled.
But here are some Dos and
Dont's about caring for a kitchen
knife:
Don't-Use knives for any
other purpose than cutting food.
Do-Keep them orderly in COM
partments in drawers or on hooks
or clamps on the wall.
Dcn't-Throw knives in the
bottom of the dishpan, then pile
dishes on top so that the knives
soak in hot water to the last.
Wash knives as soon as possible
after use, dry well, then put
away in proper place.
Do-Apply a little securing
powder on. the blades each time
they're washed to avoid serious
staining.
Don't-Try to sharpen knives
on the edge of stove or stone
window ledge.
Do-Use a sharpening steel
like the butchers, but smaller.
The butcher will show you how.
Dent-Have knives Sharpened
or ground unless they really
need it.
Do-Have knives sharpened by
someone who speclaiizes in knife
sharpening. Much of the blade
can be wasted by improper grind
ing.
Don't-Throw a knife away
just because the handle has
worked loose. Usually a few
taps en- the rivets with a ham,
mer, holding the handle flat
against a hard surface, will make
the handle tight again.
Do-Remove cutlery from
dishes before scraping plates in
to refuse can. Thousands Of
knives, forks and spoons are lost
in the garbage.
Don't-Try to cut bone with a
slicing knife and don't scrape
burned foods from plates or fry
ing pans with sharp cutting
knives.
