Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) By Henry Super. CP Staff Correspondent (Pinch-Hitting for Henry McLemore) — New York. Feb. 12.—(U.R)—To , day being Lincoln's birthday it is only fitting that this space be devoted to another emancipator—one, however, whose cry for social justice is only a first person affair. I refer, of course, to Jerome Her-1 man Dean, the Dizzy, No. 1 prob-lem-child of the St. Louis Cardinal plantation. Reports from the' front indicate this diamond slave's annual campaign for freedom or more dough is ready to start. And. after a careful study of past performances, weights and lung capacity of thd participants. 1 think the scrap will proceed along the following lines: Dizzy, accompanied by his chief-ot’-staff. Mrs. Dean, will arrive in Hot Springs. Ark., over the weekend front his winter quarters at Bradenton, Fla. There, after opening bis contract (terms unrevealed), Diz will call in the press and sound off something like this: “I'm being robbed. I refuse to pitch for less than *50,000. What do they think 1 am, a sandlotter? Unless 1 get what I want, the Card inals won't win the pennant because they need me in there toggin' ent over. 1 don't have to playbaseball. In fact, I'd rather play ' golf.” Then Col. Sain Breadon and Vice-Col. Branch Rickey will 'deny' everything. One of them will let a word slip—probably to the effect that “Dizzy ain't so hot anyway" and the battle will be on. Accusations, charges and counter charges will be hurled over an area covering 23 states. Frankie Frisch will be dragged Into it; a couple of players will give their reaction to the situation; Judge Landis will be reported ready to intercede for the good of baseball and finally the Cardinals', batboy and grounds-keeper will be interviewed on the subject. Along about a month hence, when the Cardinals start gathering tor spring training at Bradenton. Dizzy still will be out of the fold. Everyone will admit they are worrying—because “he really means it this time.” Diz. the Mrs., and the golf clubs, meanwhile, will be camped in Bradenton — but- none will be on speaking terms with the Cardinals and their associates. Mr. Dean will play golf daily, and sound off each afternoon at four on the 19th hole. Mrs. Dean will take up a . watch on the porch and explain to ' all and sundry “why we won't play

t hall unless we get what we want. "i Finally, when everyone has be- | come sick and tired of the affair. ; Rickey. Breadon and Dean will gather at midnight in a cemetery. I under full moon with hound dogs baying in the distance, and talk, ! terms. "I think it's gone far enough this time, Diz,” Breadon will say. ' “You know you still are out of {condition. How about signing at the old figure.” "Sure, Mr. Breadon," Diz will reply. “I wanted to play all the time but you never gave me a chance to tell my side the story. I'm in perfect shape and I could whip them Cubs or Giants tomorrow with my left hand. Gimme that paper—where's a pen?" And Mr. Dean will be a Cardinal for another year. The act will have a refreshing twist, however. It won't be "me 'n' Paul," because Paul signed up a couple ot' weeku ago — thank heaven.

GENERAL MOTORS < l»N I I Nil Bl) FROM i believed resumption o’ manufacturing would spur all lines of business in the Detroit area. | Harlow H. Curtice, president of I the Buick motor division of G. M. C.'s largest unit of the corporation, announced that Buick employes in ■ all departments except final car assembly and related departments ! would be called back to work Monday morning. The immediate re-employment resulting from settlement of the strike will affect about 12.500 Buick men. Final assembly operations will begin, Curtice said, immediately upon receipt of materials. He added it was hoped to begin assembling cars by the middle of next week. He predicted Buick would be at peak production in March. Insurance company examiners planned to enter two Fisher plants and one Chevrolet during the week-end to ascertain what damage, if any. was done by sit-down | strikers. Stage Celebration Flint. Mich., Feb. 12—(U.R>—National guardsmen, prohibition and idle plants that soon will be oper- ‘ ating were the only remaining evidences of the 44 day General

' Motors strike in this industrial center today. Although military rule has been abolished, the guardsmen will remain until plants are opened.

It was believed that no great harm had been done by the strikers. ‘Reunited witli their families, the strikers rested from a night of celebration which rivaled that of Armistice Duy. 1918. The release from 44 days of strike tension was reflected throughout the city. One plant was evacuated at a time. First to leave was a group from Fisher plant No. 1. Outside Homer Martin, international president of the United Automobile Workers ot America, was addressing a crowd ot sympathizers. The 350 who emerged from the plant were given a tremendous clieer. Motorists blew horns, whistles sounded. The proud strikers, most of them witli beards, paraded to Vis.T* plant No. 2 in the 88-acre military zone created by the national guard. As they did so. strikers emerged from Chevrolet plant No. 4 for a similar scene. Eventually 10.000 persons joined in the parade. 1.300 of them the
