DEAN PITCHES | FOUR-HIT GAMEj AGAINST BEES Dizzy Hurls First Game For Cubs After Long Layoff N«w York, July 18 (U.R) Oizzy. Dean has gone back to work and once aifaln P. K. Wrigley's Chicago Cubs are a threat In the National league pennant race. Dizzy got back on the Chicago mound after 2*6 months layoff and turned In one of his better per-| formances to treat Boston yester-, day. I, When Big Bill Lee blanked the Bees 4-0 with a five-hit performance in the second game of the double header, the Cuba went into third place behind the New York Giants and only 4' 2 games back of the leading Pittsburgh Pirates. It was the sixth straight victory for (fee Cubs on the heels of their six ; game losing streak that caused Wrigley to hint he might get a . ijew manager. “ The Giants pulled within two percentage points of the lead when they beat the pace-setting Pirates I 2-1 in the opening game of a I double-header. The second had to be called at the end of the ninth | because of Pittsburgh's Sunday I closing law and the score was 7-7. | The largest crowd ever to see a league game in the smoky city. 43,241, overflowed Forbes Field. The Cincinnati Reds, who had fought their way back into the • thick of the race with a seven-game ' winning streak, fell back into * fourth place by dropping two games < to Brooklyn. The scores were 5-3 I ami 74. A five run rally in the 1 ninth gave the Dodgers the opener, i and a five-run assault in the third 1 clinched the nightcap. The Philadelphia-St. Louis twin bill was rained out. Jn the American league, the New York Yankees won their seventh ■ straight, 16-3, from Detroit. Hen- < rich. Selkirk, Gordon and Dickey 1 each hit home runs with two mates ’ on base. Greenberg clouted his 1 28th homer for Detroit. The vic- t tory kept the Yanks l’-j games 1 ahead of the Cleveland Indians S who nosed Philadelphia 7-6 after crusiuug a three run uprising in the eighth that drove Bob Feller

In tnak-1 ing their bU the Finns very sagely pointed out it was time to re-1 turn the games to normalcy and hold them in a simple, natural setting, and put a stop to the use ' of them as a come-on for national- < istic outbursts ... in Berlin the athletes played second banjo to the storm troopers and it undoubt- ■ edly would have been the same in the country of the Rising Run . . . I The Finns decried the millions of dollars spent by the host nations in trying to outdo one another in lavish accommodations for the athletes and spectators, saying it was i contrary to the spirit of the games, and that such an approach would eventually bring about their end. There is no doubt but that America's athletic set-up owes Japan a bow of thanks for abandoning the games ... It saved us a bumper crop of grief . . . the “let’s ’go to Japan" group and the "let’s stay away" factions had 1 drawn up battle lines and were I ready to fight it out to the finish.

DU walked out yesterday and whipped the Boston Bees on four io 1, for his fourth victory of the , year. . .' Dean was so happy he jumped up and down like an excited schoolboy. Mrs. Dean was so happy she cried. Owner Jhll K. Wrigley, who personally sent three players and 8185,000 in cash to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Dean, also was reported to be happy. "I had to make good for those 1 Cubs,” Dean said later. "They sure been great to me even when I wasn't much good to them. 1 sure hope 1 can give them their , money's worth. "Grimm says I can pitch Thursi day. but shucks, I wanted to work the second game of that doubleheader yesterday. 1 was all warmed up." Manager Charlie Grimm, heart by troubles of his own. congratulated Diz and warned him, "1 don't want to hear any more about that arm. it s cured’" The long rest since May 3 when he pitched his last game has takI en all the soreness from his arm ■ and as long as he sticks to sidearming, it retains its strength. But sidearm throwing isn't naturl al for Dean. His style is to rear back and let fly with a long over- ! hand movement. | "I tried that once in the ninth I inning just to see what’d happen," : Dean said. “It hurt." In addition to allowing only four hits. Diz struck out three batters ■ and retired all but six on infield outs. The six who filed to the outfield placed their shots almost I directly into the fielders' waiting hands. Oddly enough, most of his pitches w°re mast balls with a tricky hop like something alive, i Only live of his even 100 pitches I were curve balls, since he claims the curve hurts his arm a little. | Dean apparently has been ready to go for a week or more. Grimm agreed the soft-hitting Bees provided the logical spot for his comeback but indicated from now on he wouldn't pick his spots for Diz.
