open his suitcases since joining
the Braves in Al. That same sea-
son he was sent to the Cubs and
the following year was sold to the
Browns, remaining there only six
9avs before he was on train
bound for Brooklyn. The following
spring found him with the Phillies
and there he had one of his best
seasons, backing up his fine field
work with .288 batting average.
That was good enough to get him
into the All Star game, which
means he was the best man in the
league at his position, but it was
not good enough to keep him with
the Phillies. They promptly shuffl-
ed him to Pittsburgh, and thes
Dahlgren settled down for long
comfortable stay-all of two years.
In one of those seasons, 1914, he
tied a record for most games
played by a first baseman, 1853,
and last summer Frisch thought
enough of him to work him in 144
games.
But if Dahlgren figured this
meant he had at last found per-

mistaken. For with the return of

him off to the Browns.

Need For Pitching Help,
MayForce Yanks ToDeal
BY CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, April 29-P)-The
hardest choice that any team may
have to make in years plagued
the New York Yankees Monday
as their scheduled game against
the Cleveland Indians was rained
out. 1t was the only contest
scheduled in the majors Monday
and will be played Thursday, pre-
viously an open date fer both
clubs.
In order to get the kind of pitch
ing help they need to win the
pennant, they may have to give
up one of three great infielders:
/. George Stirnweiss, choice of
New York baseball writer's as
player of the year for 1945' after
he won the American league bat
ting Championship and paced the
Yankees from start to finish.
2. Billy Johnson, the American
Leagues "rookie of the year"
in 1943, who is coming back from
military service any day now to
complicate Manager Joe McCar-
thy's surplus infield talent situa-
ton.
3. Joe Gordon, the American
leagues most valuable player in
1912, who acquired the reputation
of being the best second baseman
in baseball during six years with
military service in 1943.
The question of what would
you do will start an argument
going for hours in any "swill mill"
in town. There is no doubt that
the Yankees need pitching help,
neither is there any dispute over
the fact that no other club in
either league has three inflelders
of comparable value.
Any one OF the three at current
open market values for players
should be worth 100000 or a pit
cher in the Hal Newhouser, Steve
Gromek, Tex Hughson, or Nelson
Potter category.
But are the other league owners
willing to trade with Yankee boss,
Larry MacPhail? They are not.
ANY one of the lot, desperate

brief outing to Tucson, and was
sold to the Red Sox four years
later. Having reached the majors,
the six-foot fancy fielder hoped he
would stay long enough to remem-
Der his hotel room number-but
his journey had merely begun.
From Boston he went to SYRIA
cuse, back to Boston, to Newark,
up to the Yankees then the
Braves Cubs Browns :.
Dodgers Phillies Pirates
and now the Browns again.
What it is that causes Babe
Dahlgren polished defensive man
and fair hitter, to be shunted from
club to club has always remained
a puzzling mystery to the first
baseman himself, and if it is a
personal reason well, his best
friends have still to tell him.
Some of his departures have
heen under very surprising cir
cumstances. No one reckoned he
would be another Lou Gehrig
when he replaced the Iron Horse
in 1899, but Dahlgren was good
enough to help the Yankees to a
fourth straight pennant and
four-game sweep over Cincinnati
in the Series. The next season he
had his best hitting year with the
Bombers but abruptly found him
self with the Boston Braves, and
for reason which almost floored
him Joe Mccarthy said Dahl
gren's arms were too short!
This remark prompted Dahlgren
to stand before a mirror and make
an extensive study of his arms
"No one ever told me before that
they weren't long enough and thew
feel all right to me-" he explained
He canvassed his teammates, tell
ing them that if he offended in
some personal way he would Ger.

make the Yankees well nigh un-

And most of them are harboring
Pennant illusions of their own.

Phail's last big deal when he used
his charm to persuade each of
the other seven league owners
to permit waivers on Hank Bor-

 Self-ASSurance
By ALICIA HART NEA Stan writer

Plan to take on a sport or game, you school girls who are casting around for something worthwhile to do during the summer vacation. Inviting you to take it up, a sport or a game offers one of the best opportunities to improve your fig- ure, loody-awareness and self-con- fidence.
 But you'll need to master pro- ficiency. And that will take coach- ing from either a cracker-jack amateur or a professional. The time and money spent in learning properly how to dance or fence for instance, will yield full value in a lovely, graceful figure. The extra bonus is superb self-con- fidence.
 Swimming is as valuable. As a sport it has few equals as means of building up a chest, lengthenine muscles. and giving girl body awareness.
 Almost any solo sport that you master = tennis, badminton, squash or horseback riding - helps to im- prove your figure, physical well- being and self-confidence. 2

Aspirin is the least dangerous I cannot say safest-pain-killer of which I know, for headache or neu- ralgia (nerve ache) if painkiller must be taken.
 Never having had any headache to speak of, I supposed am not qualified to judge the merits of such sufferers demand for a pain killer. In fact I have taken only two or three doses of aspirin, and then for other ache than headache. If I recollect I tried dose or two (not more than ten grains, assure yoW of aspirin when I had bursitis, and again if I recollect it gave little or no relief-me for shot of nor- phine that size or pain-and don't infer that I'm a morphine addict my physician gave me two or three shots of morphine then, and a shot of two, I believe, when I had op- pendicitis, and that's the extent Of my opium eating, but God bless the man who discovered opium and the man who discovered how to ex- tract the morphine from it.
 My advice to any one who con- templates taking aspirin in any dose is this: Don't take it unless you can lie or sit at rest at least an hour afterward. Aspirin is the least dangerous pain-killer for such ache or pain, but it is nevertheless dangerous to monkey with. his is my opinion-but I must admit it is apparently not shaded by many good doctors who prescribe or ad- minister aspirin as freely as though it were so much chalk or sodium bicarbonate.
 This paragraphs quoted from Bas- tedo's Materia Medica, PharmacO- loggy and Therapeutics, standard authoritative textbook, gives a fair idea of the ill effects of aspirin:
 Aspirin has the advantages
 that, even in small doses, it
 produces nausea and heartburn
 in certain people, particularly
 those with highly acid gastric
 conditions. From idiosyncrasy,
 there are many reports of feel
