Billy Hulen Says;
Dean's Release
Come A Shock
To Baseball Men
Everybody knew it was only
a matter of time, but the news
of Jerome (Dizzy) Dean'i exit
from the National league yes
terday, via the waiver route,
must have been a shock to many
fan and baseball men. It was
to this writer, at least, for it
seems like only yesterday that
"Ole Diz" was boiling that hard
one of his down the slot, pitching
the St. Louis "Gas House Gang"
to pennants in 1934 and 1931
and winning an incredible num
ber of games.
Dean's rather short but bril
liant major league career is
probable ended, now. When the
Chicago Cubs obtained waivers
on him it meant simply that no
other club in the major leagues
was willing to risk $7,500. the
waiver price, to purchase his
contract. What a drop in value
that is from the stupendous
price Chicago paid the Cardi
nals three years ago for the
pitcher $185,000 and three ball
players, including Curt Davis.
Unless a miracle happens and
Dean stages a comeback with
a minor league team, he is all
through. And if he is, the game
will say goodbye to one of the
best fllngers, and certainly the
most colorful, of all time.
Dean has been censured for
his continual popping-olf. criti
cised for bis poor showing the
' .last two seasons with the
Cubs and condemned for his
' disregard of training rules.
But when the big fellow had
U. when his right arm was
whipping that leather nugget
' plateward with the speed of
machine-gun bullet, there were
.aene to deny that he was as
good a pitcher as ever whiffed
a batter In the pinch.
Dean's finest season was In
1934, when he hung up the
amazing record of 30 victories
while losing seven. That was
the year he and Brother Paul
practically alternated from day
to day in twirling the Cards to
the pennant. He won 28 games
and lost 12 In 1933, and came
right back with 24 and 13 In
1938. His other years with the
cards saw him win 20 and lose
18 In 1933, win 18 and drop 13
In 1932 and cop 13 and lose 10
in 1937.
If the State league leading
Hedford Craters ever find it
difficult to win ball games in
the orthodox fashion, they
shouldn't have any trouble
brain-trusting their way to vic
tory. Without doubt they are
the most scholarly crew in the
circuit, what with no less than
four of them being full-fledged
school teachers.
Counting the catcher, four
fifths of the Crater lnlleld
earn their bread and butter
by imparting knowledge to
students. Pat Patterson on
first coaches and teaches at
Jacksonville high. Rlney Cook
on second coaches and teaches
at Medford junior high. Alex
. McDonald on short dittoes at
Grass Valley high and Catcher
Tommy Hawkins does the
same at Laplne.
Baseman Cliff McLean attended j B" '" 'fl ,we?k-"d 0
University of Oregon two years. P ray for the leadership In
Centerfielder Al Wray is a1""1' K0"A- fat h" den,, th,e
graduate of Modesto, (Cal.) jun
ior college and Pitchers Bill
Lanning, Jimmy Roro. Steve
Crippen and Orv Williams, and
Outfielder Ted Kerr all are high
school grads.
The weather man has acted,
like a number one heel toward!
the Craters so far this season,
the locals failing to get a good
weather break for any of their
local Saturday night Slate league
games. It was positively miser
able on opening night against
Jack and Jill, it was cold and
uncomfortable asainst Hills
Creek on Saturday eve, and last
Week against Bend it threatened
to rain throughout the game,
though the shower held off until
the final ptitout.

Dean Gambles on Comeback
With New Sidearm Delivery
By Tom Slier.
Chicago, June 4. yP) The oblivion accorded womout ball
players beckons to Dizzy Dean, but the one-time great pitcher
isn't bowing out without one last desperate gamble to regain
hif old nlch In booebel).
Always a fignier with a great
heart, Dizzy refuses to give up
hopes of again becoming a star
big league hurler.
A few days ago Dean asked
Owner Phil Wrigley of the Chi
cago Cubs to send him back to
the minors where he plans to
experiment with a new deliv
ery. Wrigley agreed and the
club announced yesterday all
big league teams had waived
on Dean, thereby setting the
stage for his ' return to the
minors.
His plsn, as outlined now, is
to option Dean to Tulsa, a Cub
affiliate, in the Texas league.
In which circuit he began his
amazing flight to major league
stardom.
Recently Dean's arm was ex
amined by Dr. George Bennett
of Johns Hopkins hospital In
Baltimore. The physician told
Dean he was through as an
overhand pitcher. He suggest
ed Dizzy try a sidearm delivery.
"We can't try out Dr. Ben
nett's suggestion In the big lea
gues," explained Dizzy's wife,
Patricia. "7 Tie majors aren't
for experiments, so we want to
go back to the minors and see
what happens.
"We know it Is big gam
ble. If Dizzy falls to click
down there with his new deliv
ery, and he satisfies himself
that he's really through, at
least we'll know where we
stand.
"But If It develops that his
arm really la finished, then we
can take it."

FOURTH STRAIGHT
By Judson Bailey.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
The way the New York Yan
kees are rolling now makes it
difficult to Imagine how a few
weeks ago they could lose eight
straight and slither around in
the cellar of the American lea
gue day after day.
There were good reason, of
course injuries. Illness and in
disposition. But they are all
gone now and It appears that
nothing short of a catastrophe
can keep the clib from Its
fifth consecutive pennant.
The 7-1 shellacking the Yanks
gave the St. Louis Browns yes
terday was the fourth In a row
over the tail-enders and tenth
victory In eleven games. Al
ready New York is within 4H
games of first place and only a
game and a half out of third.
The league-leading Red Sox
outhit the Chicago White Sox
14-10, but were beaten 7-4.
The third-place Tigers were
9-3 victims of Dutch Leonard's
knuckle-ball at Washington.
Lefty Al Milncr chalked up
his seventh triumph against one
defeat for Cleveland by shut
ting out the Philadelphia Ath
letics 4-0.
The Cincinnati Reds topped
the Boston Bees 3-2 with all
the scoring being done in the
first grame.
Hugh Casey of Brooklyn held
the Chicago Cubs to five hits
and won 3-2.
The New York Giants nosed
out the unlucky Pittsburgh Pi
rates 4-3.

PILUSO TAKES 23
JIMMY MITCHELL
Jimmy Mitchell, the colored
Black Panther from Toledo.
Ohio, dropped his first grap
pling match In the Medford
armory last night when Port
land's Ernie Piluso torpedoed
him ' twice In 23 minutes with
flesh-shattering Sonne nbergs
and pinned him with body
presses. A fairly large crowd
turned out for the 100 percent
scientific program.
Ernie's first tumble came af
ter 17 minutes of rip-roaring
action, during which the ad
vantage changed hands with
lightning-like rapidity. First
Piluso would have the upper
hand, then Mitchell would
forge Into the lead. The latter
used a headlock to good ad
vantage. Finally Piluso saw the open
ing he had been waiting for
and started firing sonnenbergs.
Three of them sent the Panther
reeling to the canvas and Ernie
pounced on top for the tumble.
Piluso wound up the fine
match six minutes later, and in
the same manner in which he
grabbed his first tumble. The
pair traded legitimate maneu
vers for a spell, then suddenly
Piluso launched his shots to
Mitchell's mid-section. Four
times Ernie smashed the Negro
to the carpet before he piled
on him for the fall and match.
Don Sugai, Salem Japanese
flash, made It two straight here
with a two to one fall victory
over Prince Selaki Mehalikis In
the middle event. With the falls
standing one each, Sugai cut
loose with a dropklck In the
fourth canto and the Prince

prior to this payoff Mehalikis

as he was coming in and it was
all over. -
