NEW SORENESS l IN DEAN'S ARM ■msMssasummwwai* «* Dizzy Dean Forced Out After Thne Innings With Sore Arm Chicago. Ann. B-tUPl—Stricken i again with a deadly aoreoeva in his light ahoulder. Dixxy Dean expecta to learn todav Juat how rear he la to the ,-nd of hl* glorious pitching days. Dean was confident of another ' eprleve after he has be»n examined and X-rayed by Dr. Jonn F. Davis. specialist for the Chicago Cub*, who ha* nursed an unbelievable amount of pitching strength from that 81*5.000 arm since Dl* first was considered washed up with an Incurable Injury last spring. His chance*, however, appeared darker now than ever befert. When he walked off the mound yeaterday after pitching only three inning* against the tail-end Philadelphia Phillies he wa* pale from rain. “ft was Ihe same pain I had last year on those other hod day* when ! I had to quit.” he said “It hurt before the game and jus' seemed tn get worse a* I went x'ong. 'V felt something snap—like that k>nk I got before, and I sure wa* glad when Leo (Manage, Gabby Hartnett) told me to quit " If the club physician doe.de* that Di* must rest for several weeks the hi* right-hander's future with the Cuba I* doubtful For the second consecutive year he is urawing a reported 820.000 for which 'te so far Its* returned only five victories against one defeat. Five straight times before his last victory he wa* knocked out of the box. Always a workhorse with the St. Lem* Cardinals. Di* finally wa* forced <o adult a few week* ago thxt he wa* nnable to work a regular turn or ,-iitch with lea* than a week's res’. Hartnett, handling the club from the bench, was the first to notice that Dean wa* In distress When Dean told him hi* arm wa* getting "sore a* hell." Hartnett promptly retired him and sent In Lefty L*>rry French, since French had appealed directly to owner P. K. Wrigley for more chance to work. Larry went tn with the score tied 1-1 and preceded to roll up a 6-2 victory, bi* seventh of the season. , Both Dean and Hartnett were downcast after the game, despite French'* polished relief job. “What else is there left to happen to me?” Girbby moaned. ' First tne right arm. then the left arm. now the right arm again. Everything happen* to Dlxxy.” IM» just had pitched hl* way hack Into Hartnett's good graces after hl* midnight joist in a Nc« York imtel which brought about a minor Injury to hl* left arm.
