FRICK ORDERS REINSTATEMENT OF DIZZY DEAN Ace Hurler Os St. Louis Cardinals To Be Reinstated Nfw York. June 4 -U.fi. Dillty Dean, ace pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals was ordered reinstated in 24 hours today by President Ford Frick of the National league Reinstatement occurred at 11:25 a. m. ('ST., three hours and 20 miutites after Dean called upon Frick at the league offices. Dean was suspended for having been charged with making statements derogatory to Frick and to Cmpire George Barr. In conferences yesterday and today he was offered chances at reinstatement if he would refute or deny the statements Dean, however, refused to sign any document. His reinstatement was ma Icpossible when he went through a set of questions and answers with Frick Newspaper men sign- ( ed the stenographer s report ofi the affair. Frick also signed , Dean refused to do so. Frick then signed a statement making Dean's reinstatement within 24 hours —In time to pitch to-; morrow's game here. "Well. I won my point." Dean said. "I said I wouldn't sign any-1 thing and 1 didn't sign anything." Today's session was a stormy one. The session was in two parts. The first one ended with Dizzy on the verge of being reinstated but h<- balked, saying he was going to take the case to Commis sioner Landis. After some min utes Frick called Dean back io his office. With them went Manager Frankie Frisch of the CaretInals, and Secretary Clarence Lloyd. When this meeting was over the report was signed and the matter supposedly closed.

IGNORE RULING OF COMMISSION Chicago Fight Promoters Ignore Braddock Suspension Chicago, June 4. KU.fi> Promoters of the heavyweight title tight June 22 between champion Jim Braddock and Joe Louis proceeded with their plans today in complete disregard of Braddock’s suspension by the New York athletic I commission. I Chairman Joe Triner announced the Illinois athletic commission I will not recognize the suspension. ' as far as the commission is concerned, the suspension will not interfere with plans for the Contiskey park fight, he said. At Grand Beach, .Mich., where Braddock is training for the Louis fight, his manager, Joe Gould, was reported as being neither surprised nor worried by the suspension. I It was "what he expected." one of ; Ids aides said. Gould declined I comment personally. Braddock rested yesterday, at the time the New York commission insists he should have been weighing in for a fight with Max Schmeling at Madison Square Garden. Braddock's refusal to appear for the Schmeling bout led to his suspension. Louis likewise rested at his I Kenosha. Wis.. training camp, restricting his maneuvers to early morning roadwork. Boxing workouts were schedul- ! ed for both fighters today. Suspend Braddock New York, June 4. —j(U.R> —A ruling by the New York state athletic I commission appeared today to have thrown the heavyweight situation into the worst muddle it has been in since Max Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis. The commission yesterday suspended champion Janies J. Braddock for failing to meet Schmeling. Failure of'the body to vacate Braddock's title left the heavyweight situation extremely doubtful. Schmeling. incensed because Braddock was allowed to keep the title, said the commission's ruling virtually "legalized" a BraddockLouis title tight on June 22 in I Chicago. Max didn't want the commission to give him the title but he was hoping that the board would take it from Braddock and thus take the edge off the Chicago fight , which Braddock contracted for asI ter he'had signed to meet Schmel- ' ing. The commission warned that I any fighter who met Braddock while he was banned in this and affiliated states also would be suspended. Thus Louis, if he fights Braddock, also will stand suspended in New York. That, according to many observers. kills chances for a heavyweight title fight here in Septemb- , er. Most of them had figured the 1 commission would vacate Brad- , dock's title; that the winner of the Louis-Braddock fight would be champion in some states and that to gain a clear claim to the championship all he would have to do would be to tight Schmeling in i New York in September.

ROOKIE HURLER BLANKS PIRATES Lou Fette Hands Pittsburgh 6-0 Defeat Thursday New York, June 4. — (U.R) —The “keeper” of the Boston Bees prayed for a top flight pitcher and the answer was Louis Henry William Fette, 30-year-old rookie. Lou didn’t make the grade with St. Louis years ago, but this season he could furnish the answer to any major league manager's prayers, and particularly those of Bill McKechnie, whose Bees lost 115 out of 154 games to set a record in 1935. Losing ball games doesn't fit into this husky righthander's scheme of things after leading the American Association in games won with 25 while with St. Paul last year. He has dropped only oue this year—to the league leading PiraVs. He got revenge for that yesterday by blanking the Bucs, 6-0. It was his sixth triumph in seven starts, and master Carl Hubbell, with sight victories, is the only National hurler with more. Except for his initial start, Fette has gone the route in every game. Lou, whose batting average is better than .300, gets a pinch batting role occasionally. He scored his first shutout in impressive fashion yesterday, scattering seven hits and leaving 11 Bucs stranded on the base paths. Wally Berger came out of his batting slump with his first two homers of the season, driving in four runs. It was the only game not rained out in the league. In the American, the leading New York Yankees were topped,
