He blanked the Dodgers on three hit*, struck out Bve and issued no walks. Dean was loose and free but depended largely on hi* control and pitching knowledge to keep the Ihidgers eating out of his glove ts Dis'* arm doesn't go bad on him. he la likely to rem ward Phil Wrigley's patience with something more than cheer leading. Brooklyn's eventual 13-3 victory i enabled the Dodger* to tie the | Cuba for fourth place.

Why didn't the Brown* just stay at home and in an exchange of wires concede the Yanka a clean sweep in the series They might even have driven a bargain by wire and lost only three of four games The Browns being here is just as ridiculous as making the Yauka go out there later in the summer, when the temperature and the humidity have at one another to see which can inflict the worst punishment on baseball players. By the same token, why should the Yanks ruin a perfectly pice summer day by travelling around asserting a superiority that is al ready recognised? It's no fun for the other clubs, either. Don't you think that Lefty Grove of the Red Sox. getting a bit old now and prwtty sick of trying to make that tired arm of his act like a youngster would rather spend the next three months fishing and swimming than pitch ing for a hopeless cause? Or that Rollo Hemsley would much prefer to Ungar In the Shade of a nice beer atube than in the dust and heat behind home plate at Cleveland? The thing to do is to concede the Yanks the pennant now. give • second place to the Red Sox. let the Tigers and the Indians match tor third, and the remaining four clubs draw out of a hat for the J second division posit lons By do- 1 ißg ibis a lot of futile work would I be avoided, and besides. the Yan | kee players might possibly be- . come fat aud laxy during idleness shd thus give jhe National league I pennant winner some sort of a I
