0 -—-— - 0 i oday's Sports Parade | By Oscar Fraley Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) | O 0 New York, Jan. 29 H’p) Vi*, ions of old murderers' row haunted the American league today as big Hill Dick y came back to the New York Yankees. They thought two years ago that they had -wen the last of the Iron mat; catcher from Bastrop, La. That wag the October day In - portsman's park when the Yanke s came up to the fifth game of the world series needing but one victory to gain revenge on the high-flying St Louis Cardinals. It was n scoreless game up to the sixth inning, with Mort Cooper's fast one blowing down th Bronx bombers. And then, with two away, Charley Kellar singled through the infleld and Dickey came to bat. He looked at n couple and then Cooper laid his high hard one down the u nter. Seconds, Infer the hall rattled over the roof of the right field granstand and the Yankees had the two runs which Won the series. Th- following March Bill went Into the Navy as a lieutenant and eventually managed a t>»”y allrtar team al Peat I Harbor. Meanwhile. a* (be Yankees watched two of the has ball classics from an unfamiliar position on the sidelines. reports trickled back to the -dates that the big catcher who starred In eight world series was through •with baseball. Dicloy, they said, was done and wanted to manage a minor league team. But the husky guy who had created a major league record by catching 109 or more games through 13 consecutive seasons, set those reports at rest today as he was reinstated on the active list and prepared to sign a contract for his 18th season with the Yankees. “I definitely want to play baseball." said Dickey, his grey eyes sparkling. *Tgt anxious to be back in harness and I mean catching harness.” It came as a real baseball surprise, tor big Bill is ov.r the hili

chase craze" coniinitt-s unabated among Adams county sportsmen. They pointed out that, while only |i.so bounty is paid on fox '■puppies" less than six months aid, the opring season wjll find many litters being dug out and bounty payments may expect to become unusually heavy then. The f>x chase fad here affords a double purpose, it was pointed out. In entertainment for sportsmen and helping rid the county of the pests. Saturday, a chase organized by the Adams county fish and game conservjitian league, under the direction of club president. Robert Hill, netted half of the day's "catch.” They were killed southwest of th!.t city. The other thr.-e foxes brought into the auditor's office that day were the prize of Elmer Dubach, who shot I hem during an Individual hunt in Hartford township Th<-n on .Monday, Elmer Rich of French township reported with three more.

in the catching department. He will be 39 next June and that makes him a graybeard among active 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 and I’m In good shape. Os course. I don't mean to say I'll catch 109 games but I'll do my b st and that should be something."
