Mar. 12.—(U.R> —Under the protective cover of a noon sun. guarded by advance notices which gave the exact time of his E arrival, and shielded by a brass c band, Dizzy Dean sneaked into c Daytona Beach yesterday as quietly as an avalnchae in the Alps. Despite his secrecy, however, it was learned that the celebrated cotton picker twice spurned a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals and. from his hiding place astride 1 the city hall roof, announced he would not pitch a single baseball during the 1937 season. , One report that reached us said that cheers greeted this annoucement. but that they quickly changed to groan when Dizzy followed it up by saying he had signed a radio contract and would devote his summer to broadcasting. Frankly. 1 believe the part about a radio contract is simply Dean strategy—a simiter bluff to make ' owner Sam Breadon capitulate and

yield a $50,000 contract. For Dean must know that Breadon, thrifty a man as he is. would think twice before allowing Dizzy to take charge of the air waves, if only for fifteen minutes, twice a week. Breadon would think twice again before he turned an entire nation against him for $15,000 or $20,000. And that is not much of an exaggeration. either, because nearly every home in this country has a radio, and when Dizzy's voice came' roaring out of the loudspeakers ' from Bangor to Seattle. Breadon ] would be a man with a pfice on j his head. In every state the boun- , ty on his pelt would exceed that of , otters, even. That is. except in the states of New Jersey, Texas, and Indiana where there are not ot- | ters. and in Rhode Island where the otter is loved and protected. Breadon would just be shot on genSUN. MON.

erul principles in those common J wealths. And It would serve him. right. | It requires no H. Cl. Wells to, visualize the sad state of affairs If, and when. Dizzy Is given the| riparian rights on u million loud-i speakers. America’s ear drums will pop as one. ami with a roar exceeding that of the buddles in Niagara's gorge. Birds, unaware that Dizzy’s voice Is flying through the air, will be stiffened in flight.; There will be thunder, lightning, and much suffering. Children will i be stunted. If Breiulon honestly can't scrape together the titty thousand dollars necessary to keep Dean off the air and out there on the pitching moutid where he belongs, he should appeal to the nation. I believe he would get an immediate response, and the money raised before Dean could be hustled i”o a studio and wired for sound. Because in all the history of this great nation there is no record of it ever having failed in the face of a real peril. To start the ball rolling — or rather, to show Breadon that I stand behind him—l plan to mail him my contribution forty cents today. It will go in stamps five air mails, three threes, and a one. I hope you will do the same. By "the same" 1 mean forty cents and not that you need use the same denomination stamps. You don't even have to use stamps if you don’t want to. Eggs, socks, hour glasses, pheasant feathers, or anything negotiable will do. (Copyright 1937 by UP.) o World War Veteran . Is Killed By Auto Anderson. Ind..
