Reinstatement occurred at 11:25 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) 3 hours 20 minutes after Dean called upon Frick at the league offices, Dean was suspended for having been charged with making state-

‘| ments derogatory to Frick and to

Umpire George Barr. - In conferences yestercay and today he was offered chances at reinstatement if he would refute or deny the statements. Dean, however, refused to sign any document. His reinstatement was made possible when he went through a set of questions and answers with Frick. Newspapermen signed the stenographer’s report of the affair. Frick also signed. Dean refused to do so. Frick then signed a statement making Dean’s reinstatement with in 24 hours—in time to pitch tomorrow. “Well, I won my point,” Dean said. “I said I wouldnt sign anything and I didn’t sign anything.”

Stormy Session Held

Today’é*session was a stormy one. Dean phoned Frick asking for the conference and was summoned immediately to the league office. Several times during the proceedings angry shouts could be heard. The session was in two parts. The first one ended with Dizzy on the verge or being reinstated but he balked, saying he was going to take the case to Commissioner Landis. After some minutes Frick called Dean back to his office. With Dizzy went Manager Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals, and Secretary ClarWhen this meeting was over the report. was signed and the matter supposedly closed.

Statement Made Public

Following is the statement signed by newsmen and by Frick: “Mr. Frick—Mr. Dean you are quoted in the newspapers as making a statement to the effect that the balk rule was instituted by the National League office as a direct slap at you and constituted persecution. Did you or did you not make that statement? “Mr. Dean—I did not. “Mr. Frick—Mr. Dean is it true that you were notified of the enforcement of the balk rule by this office one week before the balk was called? “Mr. Dean—I was warned Brooklyn. “Mr. Frick—Is it true that you were also notified on the day of the game to which the balk was ‘called by Manager Frisch and Umpire Barr. “Mr. Dean—I was warned by Frank Frisch | ’

Denies Published Report

“Mr. 'Frick—You have been quoted in the paper in Bellville, Ill, as making a statement that the president| of the National League and Umpire George Barr were the two biggest crooks in baseball, Did you or did you not make that statement?” “Mr. Dean—I never said that. “Mr. Frick—I have here a wire from the editor of the Belleville Daily Advocate which says: ‘Article in our May 26 issue speaks for itself and contained an account of what was said at the Presbyterian Men’s Club dinner.’ Do you deny that that article is true? “Dean—I didn’t say it.”

Garner 13 Blows Against 14 for Millers; ‘Another Slugfest Forecast Today.

| Times Special

MINNEAPOLIS, June 4.—~The In-

| dians continue to hammer, the ball

and even when defeated they are making it tough on the Millers.

| With the series standing one apiece

ancther battle royal was expected to be .staged at Nicollet Park this afternoon. The score yesterday was 10. to 8 in favor of Minneapolis and it was a slugfest, the winners collecting 14

| blows and the losers 13. The Hoos=-

iers muffed' a great chance in the seventh when Riddle stroked into a double play with the bases loaded, retiring the side. The rival teams started blasting at the outset of action and Garland Braxton, veteran lefthander, was

| pounded out of the Tribe box in the

third inning with none out. Jimmy . Crandall relieved him and was touched for a home run by Thomp-= son. The Millers tallied six runs during the rally.

Grabowski Stops Tribe

- In the Tribe half of the third four runs scored as the Indians it miserable for Walter Tauscher. However, the Miller right= . hander stayed and bluffed along until the eighth: when the Redskins opened up again and knecked him out. Reggie Grabowski then went in and stifled the Indians’ rally by striking out Danny Taylor. The Mil lers’ relief hurler retired the Hoos iers in order in the ninth. - The Tribesmen were out in front, 5 to 1, in the first half of the third, but Braxton and Crandall were unable to cope with the Minneapolis attack and at the end of the third stanza the home team | was leading 7 to 5. Then al three-run inning in the fifth gave the Bush--men the necessary advantage to stagger through to a close victory. Harry Taylor combed a homer off Crandall in the fifth with one mate on base. Thompson's homer in the third also was good for two markers.
