Apr. 29.—<U.PJ — Dizzy I Dean of the Chicago Cubs said today that it was all right with him if Joe Medwick of the St. Louis i Cardinals wanted to feud, but addI ed that it was going to be a one- ' man affair. “I don't want no part of it,” Dean said. “That's baby stuff, by george.” Medwcik. in a letter written to sports editor Lloyd Lewis and | published in the Chicago Daily News, accused Dean of “crawflshj ing.” Dean telephoned Medwick in \ trgh rday to make snre ; Medwick had written the letter. “He told me it was right.” Dean | said, “but I didn't try to make no I peace with him. Confidentially 1 (think hey're just trying to build l up the St. Louis gate.” Medwicks letter referred to I statements attributed to Dean in

which the Cub pitcher, recently j traded fro mthe Cardinals, accused Medwick of starting the row at Tampa. Fla., in April. 1937, in which the Cardinals scrimmaged with Jack Miller of New York and Irv Kupcinet of Chicago, both i sports writers assigned to the j team. Dizzy started that row.” Medwick's letter said. “Miley and Kupcinet will tell you the ruth about it. which is that we merely I came to Dizzy's rescue. We were ' always doing that, as he always did a crawfish whenever a row got hot.” Dean said he would refuse to answer the charge, although he said Medwick had asked him to make a “comeback.” o LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct Lavagetto, Dodgers 4 16 3 11 .688 O'Dea.
