The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Saturday, May 7, 1938 Van Mungo Given Little Sympathy by Opposing Batters Six Skits and Scratches B mi Zimmcrmaa Capital Journal Sports Editor It Dizxy Dean wai turned over to the Chicago Cubs by the St. Louis Cardinal on an "aa la" bull, then the windy city purchasers must be reaching for the aspirin bottle with great regularity. It begins to look like the Cubs paid $185,00 to stick their arm Into a grab bag and came up with the booby prize. However, Dean's ailing arm may respond to treatment and In such an Instance he would probably be worth all he cost. Usually, when such a huge sum of money Is Involved In a baseball deal, the teller gives some sort of a guarantee regarding the soundness of the player Involved. That the Cards were not entirely acting for harmony within Its own ranks when they decided to put a price tag on Dean is indicated by the records and no doubt such records were well known to Sam Breadon. Dean reached the high point In his career In 1934 when he won 30 games. He continued bis good work by pitching the Cards Into the world series championship. He waa consistent the following season when he suc ceeded In winning 28. In IMS his wins dropped to 34 and last season he checked In 13 victories. The physicians say there la nothing seriously wrong with Dean's arm and time will effect a core. This tends to give ere denoe to reports which Indicate Dean la older than general be lief. Army discharge papers show Dean la 30 yeara of age. Scarcely an old man In any line of en deavor, bat aged enough to pre vent many years of mound ef fectiveness. While the Cardinal management la figuring on rat ting a nice dividend melon next fall, the Cuba can only stand around and hope for the best, but probably fearing the worst. Evidently Breadon and Rickey do not need any In ft ruction In the art of slsing op all angles of a trade. There wont be a parada with band at the head and with players In uniform maching down the street Nevertheless Salem will have a base ball opening day Sunday and at old Oxford park at that. It un t the Oxford park of a decade ago where opposing teams played before ca pacity crowds which often poured . several hundred dollars Into the pockets of the participants.

Cincinnati Finds Hurler For 8 Runs 'By th Associated Press! The boys had a deal all smoked up. Van Mungo's arm was going to St. Louis and Ducky Medwlck's big bat would move to Brooklyn. Then something flopped It was Van's arm. If there was ever anything to the deal and It's known now It did get as far as the talking stage the whole thing was colder today than last night s mashed potatoes, all be cause Van's flreballing salary wing has found more "cousins" among National league batters so far this spring than there are In the Smith family. And Branch Rickey, who might have been cooked in his own stew (remember Dizzy Dean) was breath ing a huge sigh of relief that he still has Mauler Medwlck and doesn't have to worry about the lfs and whens of Mungo's flinging. Yesterday Van dropped his third straight decision, losing a 10-3 affair to the comebacking Cincinnati Reds He gave up eight runs in his four- inning trick on the mound. From what he has shown this sea son, Mungo, like Dean, can no long er be ranked with Carl Hubbell on the pitching "big three." In four starts Van has gone the route only once. He has yet to win his first game. He has been clubbed for 30 hits and 16 runs runs In 24 Innings. True, he has had little fielding sup port behind him, but that hasn't made the temperamental tartar look any better. Since his lumbago let up. Med wick has been moving right along with the big stick, although he had a comparatively poor day yesterday. However, his rookie teammate, Enos Slaughter, made up for It by whack ing a triple that drove home the run that gave the Cardinals a 4-3 decision over the Phillies. Friday's results: American: Philadelphia I, Cleve land 4; Boston 7, St. Louis 3; Wash ington 4, Chicago 3 (13 Innings); New York-Detroit postponed.

Ky., May 7 (U.R) His first mount was a scraggly Shetland pony, and he threw a chubby leg over it 18 years ago In Hosklns, Neb. On Saturday, with 85.000 persons screaming at him, he'll come out on the track at Churchill Downs In the Kentucky Derby parade, and his mount will be Bull Lea, the dark bay son of Bulldog and the most feared horse In the field. Sitting In his silks In the Jockeys' room at Churchill Downs. Irving Anderson, 31 now, and a top rank' lng contract rider, told me how he felt about the derby, and what he thought would happen out on the loam of the racing strip. "We'll take It all." Irving said, screwing his face Into a smile. Tve seen most of the horses we've got to lick, and ridden one or two of them, and at the fin ish they'll be getting oat of oar way to keep from being run over. That Bull can run." "But how far?" I asked, re membering Bull Lea's sire waa Bulldog, a fellow who never liked to go much farther than a mile. "Some eaperta aay your horse will need an ambulance after a anile and a sixteenth. Dld any of those experts ever ride Ball Leaf" Irving asked. "I have and I know. When he set a track record for a mile and an eighth at Keenrland a cou ple of weeka ago he bad plenty left" Irving also took a crack at the horsemen who have said Bull Les's lack of early speed would be a big handicap to htm. 'We've got plenty of early foot. In that Keeneland race we stayed tight with Menow all the way. From the break until we caught him at the sixteenth pole he never was more than a length ahead, and you know what that means. He's the fastest thing out of a gate you ever saw 8o we can't be so slow." Irving doesn't fear any of the eight drrby horses who raced In the derby trials Tuesday, and that field Included the famed Stagehand. The Chief. Ilooto. Lawrin and Co-Sport. He should have a pretty fair line on them. too. because he was up on Lawrin In that race, which saw The Chief equal the track record for a mile and lick Lawrin by half a head. I asked the little gnome of a fel low If he was getting nervous as derbv dav nesred. "Plenty. It's Just about an I think about these daya. And nlchta. too. I have dreamed that race fifty times. And yon know why I'd like to win the derby more than anything else? Not the money. I Want to win It Just to get a look at Mr. Wright (Warren Wright, owner of Ball Leal, when he knows he's get a derby winner.
