FRICK CALLS ON DIZZY DEAN FOR SHOWDOWN Cardinal Hurler Indefinitely Suspended By League Head New York, June 3.—<U.R. ,_— Dizzy Dean’s suspension from the National league was continued today by President Ford Frick after a two-hour conference between Dean, Frick, and Manager Frank Frisch of the St. Louis Cardinals. New York. June 3.— (U.R> —Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean, flamboyant pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, was at the cross-roads of his career today with an indefinite suspension hanging over his head. President Ford Frick of the National league siapped on the suspension "for conduct detrimental to the best interests of baseball." It’s up to Dean himself how long he remains suspended. He can regain his goo dstanding today at 11 a. in. or he can remain out of baseball the rest of the season. Frick has called for a showdown from the Cardinals "pop-off pitclier and the next move is up to Dean. Dean must make a formal apol-

ogy for recent statements and ac- ■ tions attributed to him. President j l Frick made up his mind four days I ago to suspend Dean. He gave [the loquacious pitcher every chance to head off the suspension | but Dean refused to believe Frick would buckle down on him. “Its all up to Dean himself,” said Frick. "There are certain things he has to clear up. and until he does he remains under suspension. Surrounded by a group of rei porters and with a bottle of beer i [ in his hand, Dean last night said he would never apologize for the things Frick referred to. “I’ll jump out that window first," said Dizzy. "We’re on the twentieth floor," some one said. "I don’t care if we’re on the fortieth floor," Dean replied. "Nobody's going to make a heel out of men and that’s what Frick is trying to do." Dean and Frankie Frisch, Cards' manager, made an appointment to confer with President Frick today. The situation may be thrashed out between them, but one thing is certain —Dean will have to make amends tor “certain" statements attributed to him or remain under ban. The crux of the matter seems to be a statement attributed to Dean, speaking before a father and son banquet at the First Presbyterian church. Belleville, 111., May 25. Dean was quoted as saying: "The two biggest crooks in baseball today are Ford Frick and George Barr. I know I'll probably be kicked out of baseball for saying this but every fan in Belleville and St. Louis will be behind me.” Dean emphatically denies he made any sush remarks, and Si Johnson, another Cardinal pitcher who was with him, backs Dizzy up in the denial. Before Dean was suspended yesterday he was given a chance to sign a formal apology, but refused. “I never made all them statements,” he said. "Frick wrote the letter himself, and wanted me to' sign it. He wouldn't let me write the letter." Dizzy's statements were made last night, and a new sun almostl always brings with it a chastisedi Dean. The boys were betting today that he’d make profuse apologies to Frick and take his regular turn on the mound Friday. HOME RUNS Bartell, Giants 11 Greenberg.

Braddock today. This is the day on which the j heavyweight champion is scheduled to defend his title against Max Schmeling. and 1 wanted to know ho wthe general and his asuociI ates felt about Braddock being no I nearer Madison Square Garden ’ bowl than Chicago. The general, faced by my question, made one of his typical straight - from - the-sholder, let-the- : chips-fall-where-they-may answers: “Ahem! Hrumpfft!” he barked back decisively. I asked if I might quote him. “Perhaps it would be wiser if you didn’t,” he cautioned. “It would hardly be fair to the other , commission members and newspapermen. Ahem!” | “Well,” I asked, “can you tell me what action the commission is authorized to take against Braddock?” There was a long pause. "No," the general finally replied, "I can’L” "Is that because you don’t know or because you think It would be unethical?” "Hrumpfft! Ahem! All I can tell you is that I will supervise the weighing-in of Schmeling. If you will be there 1 will answer all your questions.” Before I could gather any more "information" a thoughtful operator cut us off. I plan to be at the weighing-in ceremony and there is little chance of my missing the general. With the possible exception of a new pair of epaulettes, he likes nothing better than to have his i picture taken against a ground of heavy-duty scales and prizefighters in drawers and socks. The general photographs well, and many critics say that his gestures, when adjusting the 100pound weight, are as expressive as any ever employed by Eleanora Duse. I made a last minute survey of ■ the principals in the fight that won't come off. and here, if you 1 are interested, are how they feel. Schmeling: weights 194 pounds, in the best shape of his life, and ! says “I never felt so sure of sucj cess in my life.” Joe Jacobs, his manager: Ended his preparations for the phantom fight by sending Jim Braddock a postcard which read: “We are feeling Ifine. Wish you were here."

and other resources of the areas entrusted to their charge. "Such regional bodies," Mr. Roosevelt said, "would also pro- | vide a useful mechanism through which consultation among the var- ’ ious governmental agencies working in the field could be effected for the development of integrated programs of related activities. "Projected programs would be reported by the regional bodies > annually to the congress through the president after he has had the projects checkeu and revised in light of national budgetary considi erations and of national planning policies.” Coordination of all the region's work would be done, Mr. Roose- ! velt said, by the permanent nat-, ional planning board he asked congress to create in his government-' al reorganization message last January 11. I The president said that congress i would have final authority under i his program to authorize projects I to be undertaken in each region. Construction should be done, he emphasized, “in whole or part by those departments of the govern- i ment best equipped for the purpose. or if desirable in any parI ticular case by one of the regional i bodies.” Mr. Roosevelt added that, to: avoid overlapping and to encour-' ; age economy there should be close i cooperation between the 'national government and its construction, agencies with state, regional and local planning boards and commissions on interstate administrative arrangements. “And provision should be made,” ' | he told congress, "for the effective ! administration of byd-o-electric projects which have been or may be undertaken as a part of a mul-: tiple purpose watershed develop ; ment.

CHICAGO CUBS 1 TAKE SEVENTH GAME IN BOW Within Half Game Os Giants To Threaten League Leaders New York. June 3 — <U.PJ — The! Chicago Cubs rode the crest of aj seven game winning streak to-1 day, challenging the National , league leaders. After suffering almost every • affliction known to baseball. Char-; ley Grimm’s men have bounced! back to within two and one-half games of the leading Pittsburgh j Pirates. They trail the second-1 place Giants by but a half game—which they can wipe out by winning today. During the early weeks of the I season injuries riddled the ChiI cago infield, pitching and catching units. Then sick players be- ; gan to get well, injuries healed, : regulars got back in the lineup, and the Cubs began to win. Now everything looks rosy with the team In the midst of one of its famous winning streaks Grimm appears to have solved his mound problem. I He has started a different pitcher every day since the current ' string began May 28, and each one has gone the nine-inning route except Rookie Clyde Shown who went 8 2-3 against the Giants yes- , terday. During the seven days the Cubs have manufactured 39 runs from '69 hits compared to the opponent's 13 runs and 41 hits. The Cubs only got four hits yesterday, three of which came in the fourth inning and were con- ' verted into a pair of runs to win 2-1. Shoun pitched scoreless ball until the ninth, but after the Giants had tallied once in that frame and had two men on base. Grimm sent Root to the rescue, ' who fanned pinch hitter Sam Leslie to end the game. Cy Blanton pitched six hit ball > for the Pirates to defeat the Bos- : ton Bees, 2-0. Brooklyn's Dodgers came within a half game of the first division by besting the fourth
