By Eddie Ash DYKES AIRS HIS RACE OPINION m m m HE’S ON CLEVELAND BAND WAGON

JIMMY DYKES, chief of the lowly Chicago White Sox, has been in the American League a long time and thinks he is well qualified to talk the language of an expert. He has climbed aboard the Cleveland band wagon and is picking Walter Johnson’3 team to cop the pennant in the junior loop. He selects the Tigers for second place, the Yankees third and the Red Sox fourth. . The Athletics look like fifth placers to Jimmy, followed by Chicago, Washington and St. Louis. Dykes says the Yankee outfield is weak. "The one doubtful factor in the Cleveland situation." Dykes remarked the other day. "is behind the bat. If Pytlak catches the way he did in 1933 Johnson will be on easy street. He has the best pitching in the league His infield is §pod and his outfield, with Campbell in right. Is very good. "Detroit can not afford to have any injuries. Mickey Cochrane had a lot of luck last season but you can not expect that kind of breaks two year in a row. Boston may scramble my dope. If Grove, Walberg and Pipgras all come back. Joe Cronin may spring a surprise.”

9mm L'mpire in Training WRITING from Palm Beach, Joe Williams, the big league expert scrivener, says Bill K>m, the umpire, is down there on the ooach trying to get his eyes in shape. Some of the sights on that beach are good for sore eyes and no foolin’. At any rate Klem is there. He wasn't so hot last year and the Veteran apparently feels the need of some refreshing scenery. Bill is Williams’ choice as the umpire ideal. Joe will get plenty of arguments about that. However, here is Williams’ comment: "Kiem is the best umpire in baseball today. Even the ball players admit it. What makes • creat umpire? The answer Is ob ious. Eyes. An umpire must be able to see It is conceded that he knows the routine plays. “I do not remember the story in detail, but I know it is a fact that Mr. Klem r.eld out one year for an increase in salary and that he gained his point bv presenting an I oculist's report showing that his vision was 100 per cent perfect. “No umpire had ever come into the league headquarters with such convincing statistics and so Mr. Klcm's victory was practically a walkover. He got his raise, he established nimself as a thinker and almost as a matter of course he became the Dig guy of the big mask." caa Boxer With Big Heart SID SILAS, New York welterweight. was scheduled to box for Promoter Fats Cornell in Washington. Just before he was to go on the bill, he struck for more money, asking S6O instead of the fto he originally had agreed to. Cornell objected strenuously, but! the boxing commission upheld Silas’ bid. The promoter grudging- j ly paid the extra S2O. but declared J he would see that Silas was blackballed in Washington ring circles, j After the fight Sid took the extra S2O and gave it to Sammy Bri f t. an old fighter who is battling for his life at Galhnger Hospital, almost penniless. mum Packer Pilot Comments CHARLEIS DORN, manager of the Hilgemeier Packers, was surprised yesterday to read an announcement to the effect his team had been ruled out of the Indiana state independent amateur basketball tournament. The announcement was made by Wayne Emmelmann. director of the toumev. Manager Dorn said his team had not entered the 1935 event The Packers won the title last year and at their annual banquet decided to turn professional and pass up further competition in the independent ranks Mr. Dorn commented is follows on the Emmolmann announcement: “It was a good publicity angle for the tournament, perhaps, but it left the impression that the Packers had tried to enter the 1935 meet. This was not attempted.” B B B Heavies Dodge Champ MAX BAER hits too hard. The heavyweight champion wants action, but the promoters around the country are unable to produce opponents.

Golden Glovers Idle THERE will be no Golden Gloves action at the Armory tonight. The Western Open table tennis tourney is in progress there. The third and finals Golden Gloves show will be held at the Armory next Friday night. Feb. 15, when the champions will be crowned in all divisions. All of the amateur boxing tourney survivors have trained hard this week and will continue to go through the paces through next Thursday.

ing for ways and means to keep clear of Baer's path. Walter Neusel, the German, just a fair heavyweight who lost to Max Schmeling, was made an offer by Chicago promoters, and he set his pri'-e at $50,000. In other words, a challenger wants more dough than the champion. Max is willing to fight Neusel for half that figure. Art La sky w r as contacted and he demanded a 20-round bout, knowing the limit in Illinois is 15 rounds. The guess is that the Chicago matchmakers will have to turn to Levinsky again. The Kingfish is more clown than fighter, but the old courage is there and he will mix it with anybody. Levinsky pops off as follows: • “I think Baer stopped me with a lucky punch. I fought him 30 rounds and he never hurt me. and then I gpt stopped with one punch. The rest of these mugs may be afraid of Baer, but I'm not.” Young Paddle Star In Local Tourney One of the country -most promising young table tennis players Bud Blattner, 15, St. Louis, is entered in the Western Open championships which opened today at the local Armory.

I DEAN COMES TO TERMS WITH CARDINALS

Brothers Sure to Hurl After Dizzy Signs Up Other National Loop Clubs Having Trouble; Ruth Coming Home. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. B.—The holdout ranks were thinned today with addition of Dizzy and Daffy Dean to the St. Louis Cardinal roster, but a few outstanding performers still are clamoring for more money. Dizzy signed his contract last night at St. Louis, assuring that Daffy will be with the club, too, and bringing back the two pitchers who between them scored more than half of the victories in the Cards’ pennant march last season. Terms of the contract were not announced. The elder Dean had demanded $25,000 ‘or nothing.” Owner Sam Breadon had said he would give $17,500 ‘‘and no more.” “Compromised.” Says Diz "We compromised,” Dizzy said. “Tell the fans I’m satisfied.” < Daffy has been willing to sign all along and only this wire to him at Hot Springs, Ark, from Dizzy, then in New' York, kept the younger member of the pitching duo from getting in line: ‘‘Don't sign until you see me. Us Deans have to stick together. Arrive Sunday. Diz.” The Cards still have to contend with Joe Medwicjp, outfielder, demanding SIO,OOO for next season and pitcher Pat Malone, who, upon receipt of his contract, wired the club. "Haven’t you made a mistake and sent me the bat boy’s contract?” Next to the Cardinals, the Brooklyn Dodgers are finding their players difficult to sign. Among others, Van Lingle Mungo, the Dodgers’ best pitcher, refuses to sign. Rowe Is Dissatisfied There are others in the National League, but it is difficult to tell which are the holdouts because of most clubs’ attitude that no player is a holdout until he fails to show up for spring training. In the American League, the big headache is Lvnw’ood (Schoolboy) Rowe, who says he isn’t a holdout, but is dissatisfied with terms offered by Detroit. Whether Babe Ruth is to be a holdout or an outcast is to be determined when he arrives here within the next tw r o weeks. He is leaving Europe earlier than he expected. hopeful of landing a managerial berth. SOUTHPORT READY FOR WEEK-END CONTESTS The Southport High School netters concluded their w'eek of drills yesterday with a light scrimmage and foul-line practice in preparation for their two frays this weekend. Tonight the Cards will be hosts to the Cathedral quintet. Following the game the Card mat team will wrestle the Columbus grapplers in the Card’s gym. Tomorrow night Southport will travel to Plainfield. Probable lineup: Banta and Elder, forwards; Quebe, center, Hickman and Sweeney, guards.

Dizzy Predicts He and Paul Will Win 45 Games Mound Ace Says Cards Will Take 1935 Flag; Expects Pirates to Offer Most Opposition. By United Press ST. LOUIS. Mo., Feb. B.—The salary controversy of Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean, the St. Louis Cardinals’ self-styled pitching demon, w'as a closed issue today. After a surprise conference of an hour’s duration late yesterday with President Sam Breadon, the eccentric hurler affixed his name to a 1935 contract.

Salary terms were not disclosed by either the pitcher or the Cardinal executive, but it is believed the figure is somewhere between the $17,500 listed in Dean's original contract and $19,000. Rates Giants Fourth “The contract is signed and we’re both satisfied,” Dean and Breadon announced after an unheralded conference. More conservative with his words, Dizzy declared: “Me and Paul will win 45 games this year.” He said the Cardinals would win the 1935 pennant by at least a fivegame margin and pointed out that they would get their stiffest opposition from Pittsburgh. Dizzy believes the Chicago Cubs will wind up the season in third place and rates the Giants no better than fourth. Says He’s in Shape Sunburned from months in Florida, the hurling ace said he w r as a little underweight <IBB pounds), but when asked if his arm might have suffered from the strain of that pennant scramble last fall, the seven-game World Series and an exhibition tour at the close of the season, he replied: “That arm’s okay. I tried it out while I was in Florida. I'm in good shape.” Dizzy is the twenty-fourth Cardinal known to have signed a 1935 contract. Ten are still to be heard from, including some of last year’s stars. Cooler and Murphy Win Billiard Frays Harry Cooler and Joe Murphy were victorious in Indiana threecushion billiard tourney matches played yesterday at the Cooler parlor. Cooler topped Cleve Kepner, 50 to 44, in the afternoon in 119 innings. Kepner tallied a high run of six; Cooler had five. Murphy scored a 50-to-43 triumph over Larry Shapiro at night.
