Jan. 29 (UP> Visions of old murderer*’ row haunted the American league today as big Bill Dick y came back to the New York Yankees. They thought two years ago that they had seen the last of the iron man catcher from Bastrop. La. That was the October day in . portsman’s park when the Yanke • came up to the fifth game of the world series needing but one victory to gain revenge on the highflying St. Louis Cardinals, It was a scoreless game up to the xixtii inning, with Mort Cooper’s fast one blowing down tbs Bronx bomber*. And then, with two away. Charley Kellar singled through the infield and J>lekey came to bat. He looked at a couple and then Cooper laid his high han! one down the a nter. Seconds, later Hie hall rattled over the roof of the right field granstand and the Yankees had the two runs which won the aeries. Th- following March Bill went Into the Navy as a lieutenant and eventually managed a navy allstar team at Pear, Harbor. Meanwhile. as the Yankees watched two of the bus ball classics from an unfamiliar position on the sidelines. reports trickled back to the states that the big catcher who starred in eight world aeries was throu |t •with baseball. Dicta y, they said, was done and wanted to manage a minor league team. But the husky ruy who had created a major league record by catching 10« or more games through 13 consecutive seasons, set those reports at rest today as he was reinstated on the active Hat and prepared to algn a contract for his 18th season with the Yankees. "I definitely want to play baseball," said Diokey, hla grey eyes sparkling. ‘Tgt anxious to be back in harness and I mean catching batnens ” It came ax a real baseball rarurUv. lor bia BUI i* ov.r lbs bill

They pointed out that, while only |i.s« bounty is paid on fox "puppies” less than six months aid. th<- spring season will find many litters being dug out and bounty payments may expect to become unusually heavy then. The fox chase fad here affords a double purpose, it was pointed out. In entertainment for sportsmen ami helpin' rid the county of the [tests. Saturday, a chase organized by the Adams county fish and gume conservjdlan league, under the direction of club president. UolH-rt Hill, netted half of tli«- day's ’catch." They were killed southwest of thi» city. Tim other three foxes brought into the auditor’s office that day were the prize of Elmer Dubach, who shot them during an Individual hum in Hartford township. Then on Monday, Elmer Rich of French township reported with three more.

In the catching department, lie will he 39 next June and that makes him a graybeard among actite peacetime players, particularly in th- strenuous business behind the plate. But Dickey doesn't see it that way. "Why shouldn’t I play?" he asks. "I feel fine ami I’m in good shape. Os course. I don’t mean to say I’ll catch 100 Kumes but I’ll do my bst and that should be something" — 0. —— — Announce Prize Lisi In Bowling Tourney The prize list for the Decatur city howling tournament, held recently at Mi s Recreation, wax an-nouhi-ed today by Don Stump, secretary of the city bowling assoelatlon.
