rToday’ff Sport Parade | By Henry McLemore lx>* Angele*, Feb. 145 — (U.R) — Jerome Herman Ih-an. whose parents were guilty of understatement when they nicknamed him Dizzy, is being criticized these days for refusing a flo.ooo salary offer from P. K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs. To me this criticism seems unjust. In the first place. Dizzy has become act ustomed to being paid more than that tor doing nothing In the past two years hl* arm ha* been so dead that they have named a sea after it. lie has been about aa much help to the Cubs aa a pair of brass knuckles would have been to little txrrd Fauntleroy But be was paid 120 000 last year and even more the year before He probably Ngures. and I think correctly, that If nine-tenths of a dead arm Is worth 320.<m*u a full dead arm should be worth at least IZ&.tuut And be has shown nothing during the winter to discredit the general belief that his pitching arm la ready tor a blur suit, a black bow tie. and a simple ceremony. That’s that. Now. in the second place iif you can count that bight Dean needs more than lloium for hie alibi consultant alone, And he must have one. No one man i ould think up all the alibis he does by himself in one year Now everyone baa had a table lamp chasa him around the room at one time or another, hut Dizzy had one catch up with him and bit him in hie arm That set him back to a full month.

A few months ago Diaay. or hia minister Charge I*'Alibi, thought of wisdom teeth as an cmcum, which were the last type of teeth that anyone suspected Dizzy of having. Even Dizzy. He had them taken out and afterwards he said hi- never felt better in his life He said that not only did hia arm feel as good as new. but his Charge D'Alibi said lor so I was told by a defrocked hockey referee) even more The Charge D Allbl said that a whole new world opened for Dizzy when he had hia wisdom teeth pulled To hear him tell it tor so I was told by a little bird — Admiral Richard E.) Dizzy now playa the violin, hide and seek, and the horses. At the present time Dizzy la In Hot Bprings.

He spends hours each day, the report la. working toward the perfection of a complete and IM per cent "nothing bull He became interMted la thia line of reaearch following the game he pitched agalnat the Yankrnw In the world serlM two years ago A perfect "nothing" hall would be one so alow that by the time It got u> the plate the Mme would be called on account of darhneM. It would have no little on It in the way of spin or curve that the batter would become so engrossed in counting the stitches and the handwriting of President Ford Frick that he would neglect to swing And as sll yog real students of baaebsll know, the swing Is one of the most Important parts of hitting.
