DIZZY DEAN TO HURL FOR CUBS AGAINST REDS Spotlight Os Major Leagues On Star Hurler Bought By Chicago New York. April 20 <U.R) Bast ball's star act today shifted to j Cincinnati where Dizzy Dean, the: National league's most celebrated character, unlimbers his *250 000 arm for the first time in l<eh-:'f of his new club, the Chicago Cubs. On the second full day of the ] season, Dean commands the center of the hippodrome, a spot he adores with all his country heart. He pitches for the Cubs against the Reds and the nation's fans will get their first answer to "is Dizzy’s I arm dead?" . . . "Did Wrigley pull a boner by giving $135,000 and three players valued at $65,000 for Dean?" . . . "Will Dean and Hartnett team up to form the National league's greatest battery?” Selecting Dean to pitch today means that Dizzy will be ready to take his turn again Sunday against his former teammates, the St. Louis Cardinals. The seating, capacity of Wrigley Field. Chicago, is 40,000 and that's how many fans i will be there to see Dizzy duel i with the gas house gang. Looking backward to yesterday's . grand opening, we find these high spots: ; 1— The mighty Yankees held to , seven hits in two games by five j Red Sox pitchers. Grove. Wagner. Marcum. Wilson and Ostermueller. < Where, oh. where is Joe DiMaggio? ( 2 — The National league's display of power which accounted for 89 ( hits, including 12 homers in four | games in comparison to the Amer- , lean league's 70 hits and five , homers in five games. Who said j the N. L.'s new ball with the raised seams and slightly thicker cover ( was a “dead ball?" 3— The champion Giants slugging three Boston Bees’ pitchers ‘ for 16 hits, including three homers. . and a crushing 13-1 triumph. Do I you rememlier way back when , “Safety First" Terry used to dote on the hit and run and sacrifice. j and play for one run? 4 — Tony Lazzeri, "Mr. Brains” ( in the New York Yankee infield for ] 12 years, showing his smartness in his debut with the Cubs. With the Cubs clinging to a one run lead in the last of the ninth, Lazzeri tried to tag a base-runner who ran j out of line. “He's out,” yelled Tony and appealed to Umpire Lar-i ry Goetz who agreed and the game ; was over. Who says the Yanks ] won't miss “Poosh 'Em Up Tony?" 5— A total of 216.619 persons at-1 ’ tending the nine games, with the i ' largest crowd. 45.000 at the Giant-] Bees opener at New York. Who | said there was a recession? With another high-powered at-, tack Washington slugged out a 9-2 victory over the Athletics and ( grabbed off the American league; lead with 2 victories and no defeats. Monte Weaver held the A's' to six hits while Almada. Lewis j and Meyer led the Senators' attack ; with two hits each. The Yanks squeezed through i with an even break against the' Red Sox. Red Ruffing's pinch-hit ] 1 single in the ninth gave the Yanks' a 5-3 victory in the morning open-; er, but Jack Wilson and Fred Ost-; ermueller combined to beat the ’ 1 champs. 6-0. in the afternoon. Wilson. after holding the Yanks to one] hit in three frames, had to retire'

when he sprained his ankle round-1 ing first on his two-base hit. Oster-'; mueller took up and allowed only one hit in the last six innings. Buck Newsom's tight pitching in a pinch enabled the St. Louis Browns to defeat Cleveland. 6-2. ' and the Chicago White Sox nosed , out Detroit, 4-3, despite homers by | Hank Greenberg and Chet Laabs. Wiping out a 4-run deficit the 1 Cubs came from behind to trim ; the Reds. 7-6. with a 15-hit attack. ] Joe Marty's ninth inning single ( drove in the winning run. Stanley | Hack was spiked by Frank McCor- , mick and had to retire in the ] seventh inning in favor of Tony | Lazzeri. < Arky Vaughan’s ninth inning 4 homer with a mat on base enabled | Pittsburgh to squeeze through to | a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis : Cardinals, playing without Joe Medwick, who has an injured back. Medwick's idleness halted his “iron man" career. He had played in 455 straight games, the longest existing streak of any N. L. player. Scoring eight runs in the last two innings, Brooklyn shellacked the Phillies. 12-5 despite the fact that Van Mungo was driven out in I the fifth inning Koy.

Apr. 20. —<UJl> —I am not a subscriber to the belief that the first games of the baseball season are unimportant and carry no weight in the pennant races. To me the opening game is just as vital as one a month from now or the one on July Fourth or even the final one. So, I have always made it a practice to make a thoroughtful study of the first box scores. To me they are pregnant with information, J and nearly always reveal facts which enable me to pierce the

mists of the future with astounding accuracy. Take the Yankees box score, for example. It showed just how much confidence Manager McCarthy has in the hitting ability of Joe (Flash) Gordon, his new second baseman. In the ninth inning “clutch" of the first game he yanked Gordon in favor of pinch hitter Billy Knickerbocker. When they pull you out of there to allow Knickerbocker to bat you aren't so hot. because Knickerbocker is strictly a "short pants" hitter. The box score also revealed the Yankee need for a certain San Francisco boniface, named Joe DiMaggio. The Yanks got seven hits in two games, which is just about Dimag's par for the course. Switching to the recorded doings of Cincinnati and Chicago, the figures proved that in the spring (training camps) a young man is much fancier than he is when he is playing for keeps. Take young Harry Craft, Reds centerfielder. He was harder to get out than a drunk down in Florida, but yesterday he hia robust and sterling nothing. Here in New York Bill Terry's presence on the third base coaching line signaled a possible change in Giants' strategy. Heretofore the great literateur has always held his salon on first base, where he could advise runners how to reach second base and wait for the single which would drive them home with the on> run the Giants have always considered so precious and important. Now he's on third, shepherding them home, in search of big innings. It had its effect for yesterday the Giants got three home runs and a brace of doubles. The Pittsburgh box score gave a pretty definite answer to those critics who shied away from naming the Pirates for success because they believed father time finally had caught up with Paul Waner. Some one of Paul's maternal ancestors must have been frightened by Tennyson's Brook, because Paul apparently is going to carry on forever. All he could do was bang out a single, a double, and a triple. That's not evangeline league hitting when Weiland is throwing em

JACKETS SCORE EASY TRIUMPH OVER BLUFFTON Decatur Pounds Out 9 To 3 Victory Over Bluffton Tigers Pounding out five runs in the first inning, the Decatur Yellow Jackets rambled on to a decisive 9 o 3 victory over ’ the Bluffton Tigers Tuesday afternoon at Bluffton. It marked the Yellow Jackets' fifth victory in six starts this season. Decatur will meet the Berne Bears at Berne Thursday While the Yellow Jackets were driving out 10 hits at the expense of three Tiger hurlers. Schamerloh held the Bluffton batsmen to four safeties, none good for extra bases. With airtight support, the Decatur freshman hurler would have held the Tigers scoreless. Heller opened the game by drawing free tranportation. After Huffman popped out. Bleeke doubled. Gaunt drew a pass. McConnell was safe on a fielder's choice. Stapleton singled, and Highland doubled, all of which was good for five runs and a flying start. During the course of the Inning. Rose, the Tigers' starting hurler, was replaced by Moon. Bluffton tallied once in the second frame on a pair of Decatur errors. Kinsey's hit. a solen base and a long fiy accounted for another Tiger rally in the fourth. Triples by McConnell and Schamerloh. with an error sandwiched, gave Decatur two tallies in the fifth. An error, solen base and long fly scored Bluffton's final tally in the sixth frame. Decatur closed the scoring in the seventh with two runs on hits by Schamerloh and Huffman, aided by two Bluff-

ton error*. Bleeke was the leading hitter with three safe blows, one a double. Schamerloh aided his own cause with two safeties, one a triple.

In practice, a diplomat's words are usually as strong as the battle fleet that at you. The figures from Philadelphia, where the Brooklyns opened, made one wonder when, if ever. Van Lingle Mungo is going to live up to his press clippings. Mungo is always spoken of as one of the game's greatest pitchers —but why? He never has won 20 games in a season, and yesterday he was knocked out in the fifth. If you think Mungo should be spoken of in the same breath with such chappies as Hubbell, Dean, or Warneke, why just take a look at the records. (Copyright 1938 hy UP)
