Feb. 24 (U.R) — Patty Berg lifted a gentle pitch shot to the fourth green. “Just like 1 hit a baseball when Hubbell's pitching.” remarked Leo Ernest Durocher as the golf ball I arched high and plopped on the carpet. Leo Ernest, shortstop and captain of the St. Louis Cardinals, was following the play in the gals ■ i tournament at Ormo.id Beach. He | was followed by this observer, who i wanted to talk baseball, and by | three tailors, who wanted to study j i (for stealing purposes) the cut of ■ Mr. Durocher's new doeskin ensemble. Mister Durocher is always j being followed by tailors, because he is the nearest thing to page [ 49 in esquire known to sport, he loves his clothes almost as much as be does his base hits, and it is rumored he even gets his baseball suits from Saville row. Speaking of Durocher's clothes ! reminds me of that afternoon in l the St. Louis dressing room after the first game of the world series ; with Detroit a few years ago. Durocher came in from the field , 1 to find that Dizzy Dean, in an expansive moment, had autographed the tips of his (Durocher's) new i handmade. S4O, white buckskin shoes. The fact that Dizzy had used bright green ink did not ease Durocher s apoplexy. It was not until today, as we walked the fairways, that I had an opportunity to ask Leo Ernest what special type of revenge he [ had used on Dizzy. “Let’s see," he mused. “Oh. yes. j I remember. I waited until he bought a new suit and then, when opportunity knocked, 1 took a pair iof scissors and, by the simple means of cutting off the trousers at the knee, reduced them to a stunning pair of knickers. I don’t remember, but I believe Diz wor» , the pants three days before he [ noticed the difference." Speaking of the Dizzy one, (Ed. note: Mr. Printer, please use capitals in setting “Dizzy one” as 1 understand Dean now ranks himself with the deity) Durocher is strictly on the side of Manager Frankie Frisch. "I see where Dizzy is popping off about our manager and managers

I know, because 1 play out there lieside him When the cliitcn conies you don’t have to wonder what Fiisch’ll do. You can always' bet he will ’barrel’ it. Somethin.; must be wrong when one manager is not enough for all of us. but Dizzy needs fifteen or twenty." ! Durocher admitted, though, that | the y»->an creature was a hell of a , pitcher. j "1 flatted against him when I i was with the Reds.” he said | "And baby, he can throw it. When I he makes up his mind von aren’t 1 gonna hit him. you just don't hit him. If the Ixird hat! given Diz Carl Hubbell’s temperament how many games wouldn’t he win?" "Thirty-five or forty," I suggest-! ed. “In a breeze, in a breeze. A ' common canter. How could he I miss? Goe everything any pitcher ' ever had. and strong as a country i mule. Pitch every other day and i never work up an appetite." | Duiocheriana: He never minded i being called the “All America Out" 1 because he knew it was good publicity. and because he knew it wasn't true. . . . "Look up my record and you’ll see I knocked in more runs than a lot of those high three-hundred hitters” . . Thiuks the Cards got all the [ better of it in the trade with Chi-i cago, because “Warneke is as good | as he ever was. and Rip Collins , isn’t likely to hit much in the! Cubs park” . . .
