THE DIZZY ONE FALLS IN LINE Dizzy Dean, Ace Hurler Os St. Louis Cards, Signs Contract Si. Louis. Mo.. Feb. B.—HJ.R) Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean, ace liurler of the St. Louis Cardinal i. announced late Thursday he had signed a one-year contract with the eTUh after an hour and a half con-; fqrencc with President Sant Breadon. Terms of the contract were not announced. Officials of the club I confirmed Dean’s announcement.. which was quickly checked in view of some rather fire-hrand state- , ntents Dizzy made earlier in the daj-. Dean had demanded $25,000 “or nothin"’. Breadon had said !>• would give $17,500 “and no more." "We compromised." the lean Itnrler explained. “Tell the fans, I m satisfied." The announcement came several hours after Dean arrived from the east en route to Hot Springs for , a mid-winter baseball teaching job. He was bristling defiance on arrival and said a conference with , Breadon was the last thing on his , mind. I “Nope. None of that,” he said. , "Pm only here for a stop-over. I . don't intend to talk business with , the Cards a-tall. They know what , 1 want. They've offered me $17.s'oo and 've turned it down.” His defiance was such that he | announced a new brand of poker. If he didn't ultimately get the $25,000 he was going to open a furniture store “right across the street from Sam Breadon's automobile salesroom.” Dean revealed before the confer-

|ence that In New York Branch .Hickey, vice president of the club, even offered to throw in Ills horse, Itis automobile, or his house, if I Dizzy would only sign. “But I told Mr. Hickey that I ! didn't want his plug." Dean said. I ‘ and I didn’t want his car. All I want is $25,000 cash for my 1935 ■ services." Dean was voluble in explaining Jhat he had pointed out to Messrs. Breadon and Hickey that “I may not be worth that much this year, but I'm only trying to get s me of the salary that I really earned but didn't get last year.” FLANAGAN TO COACH DUKES Ex-Notre Dame Star Head Football Coach At Duquesne Pittsburgh, Feb. B.— <U.R) — The Notre Dame tradition was maintained at Duquesne university tof. y with the signing of Christy J. Flanagan as head football coach for 1935. Flanagan, former Notre Dame star, succeeds Joe Bach, also an ex-lrish gridder. who resigned to coach the Pittsburgh Pirates professional gridders. Flanagan will retain his position as athletic director, which he received after Elmer laiyden resigned from tlie Dukes in 1933 to return to Notre Dame as head foot- ■ ball coach. John P. Smith, another ex-Notre Dame star, and coach at Newark academy, has signed as line coach. Duquesne officials announced. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home

It seems that the t Airdales play good ball against a good team and dub ball against n dub team. While defeated they played well against Marlon, Cen-I trai. North Side and Decatur.

STATE S ATTORNEY J continued OWW - I when ho is ac.ns.'d of climbing Into th.. j.mdbergh nursery to abduct ih«» child. h‘* actually WM in th bakery of Christian Frederickson. In th . Bronx, having supper with hl. wl fe, with whom he went ho On‘thls story he had the support „ f hls wlf-, of Elbert Carlstrom. a chance visitor to the and of Walter Manley. Louis Kiss and August Von Henke Hauptmann was one of bis <»» n strongest witnesses. Many of hls supporters wilted under the pounding of Attorney General David F. Wilentz. But not Hauptmann. 11,. declared, shouting his statements In a high pitched voice, that he received the $15,000 in ransom rnonev that was found in his garage “in a shoo box, from Isidor Fisch.” Mrs. Anna Schocfflcr Hauptmann supported her husband's ilibi throughout, not only on the night of the kidnaping, but on April 2, 193’ when he is charged with having’ received the $50,000 ransom rnonev from Dr. John F. Condon. Outside of Hauptmann's own testimony and that of his wife, Anna., that of three other defense witnesses probably had the greatest effect on the jury. The first was J. M. Trendley, of East St. Louis, a handwriting expert. who testified to his belief that Hauptmann did not write the 14 ransom noys which resulted in the extortion of $50,000 from Col. Lindbergh. Trendley’s testimony wavered only when Wilentz pounded home the fact that his examination of the writing was rather cursory, and that he had studied the notes only an hour or two. The second was an upstanding young German. Hans Klorpenburg. who said he attended a party at Hauptmann's home on the night of Nov. 26. 1933. at the time when

the accused man was said to have , passed a ransom bill In Greenwich Village. Wilentz' fiery cross-exam-ination failed to break his story. I The third was Charles T. Do Bissehop. the lumber man with a homely manner and a thorough knowledge of wood working, who testified that a isiurd used in the I kidnap ladder found on the Lindbergh estate did not come from Hauptmann's attic, as the state charges.
