DIZZY DEAN IS BACK IN FOLD OF CARDINALS 1 Cardinal Hurler Backs ‘ Down On Threat To Quit Basebal Daytona Beach, Fla.. March 19 , il'Pi Loquacious Dizzy Dean don ilecrorised himself today an I ■ came to terms with the* St. Louis Cardinals after loudly proclaming a . few hours previously "1 will never I pitch another major league base-ball • game." Dean did not get the $54X006 he had been demanding under threat to quit baseball forever- He scheduled a conference witlt Cardinal Presidttt Sam Breadon h< re this morning to sign for exactly halt that figure. The ace St Louis pitc her got cold feet after Breadon calmly accepted his voluntary resignation. Receiving Dean's letter asking retirement sanction shortly after 0 n. in. last night, Breadon announced he had dispatched a letter to National I<eague president Ford Frick asking :hat he also approve- the request and forward it to commissioner laindis

»>■! num ii hi i i >iii i ii; no ii >ii <1 I 11 c I 1 ' ■' for final action, according to c-us- *' tom. s ' Dizzy, kept constantly informed of developemnts 1., newspaper men at hie Bradenton home, oeemed surprised to think the Cards could get along without him and immediately adopted humbler tones. "That’s very nice of them to give '• me my release." he murmured.

"They've ber-n very fair about it all. ’• It was just what I expected them to l_ 410. That means I am definitely through with baseball." That little speech, uttered in the tones of a youngster caught playing 1 hookey from school, constituted hits greatest change in attitude toward • the Card management since Dizzy came to the majorv. Heretofore he hail never been able to say enough t about the “meanness and tightness" of his bosses. Those words dropping ' from 'li- great Dean's mouth seemp eq as carefully rehearsed as Breadon's magnanimity in discarding a piece of-pitching property he valued at $250,006 last winter. Adding to the odor of nress-agen try was Breadon's refusal to show , the press a copy of Dean's retirement 1 tter. He willingly displayed the signature "Dizzy Dean" to a typewritten page, but he tefused to diiulge its contents. "Dizzy telephoned me at one o’clock this morning" Breadon said, "and stated he ha-i changed his mind and wanted to talk terms. "I told him that he could come back on one condition — that he would have to accept the terms I offered him last week which were $25,000. Dizzy said lie would accept and that he would come over today and sign up” The story differed but little as told by th- Dean household. Long Shot Winner Os Steeplechase Aintree, England.
