C—-2 S Won’t Apologize, Dean Says PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1937 BADLY MISQUOTED, CLAIMSCARD STAR Frick, Loop President, Says | Diz Is Suspended Until He Makes Amends. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 3.—Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean today tossed down the gantlet to | President Ford Frick of the | National League, declaring he would | quit base ball rather than sign the letter of apology tendered following his indefinite suspension “for conduct detrimental to the best interests of | base ball.” The showdown was due this morn- ing when the hurling ace of the'St Louis Cardinals and Manager Frankie Frisch conferred with Frick in the | league offices. But meeting or no meeting, Dizzy was on record as de- claring he would go home and spend the remainder of his life playing golf rather than apologize for something he insists he never said Frick's disciplinary action, which broke like a bombshell on the sports front yesterday, came as a climax to a series of incidents that have kept Dean in the headlines since the Spring training season. The latest sequence began May 19 when the New York Giants and Carl Hubbell beat the | Cards and Dean, 4-1. in a game that ended in a ninth-inning riot. | Dizzy Talks Out of Turn. New Candidate Wins First Yacht Trial 1ZZY was fined $50 for his part n the free-for-all, the outgrowth of a balk called on him by Umpire | George Barr during a Giant rally in | the sixth inning. | Subsequently, Frick charges, Dean | &poke out of turn about the league in | general and its president and umpires | in particular. The star right-hander was quoted as saying he would give $1,000 to the newspaper man who would print exactly what he (Dean) thought of Frick, that he would not play in this year's all-star game, if selected, and that “George Barr and Ford Frick are the ‘two biggest crooks’ | in base ball today.” The latter state- ment was attributed to Dean at a father-and-sons dinner at Belleville, m wn to the question of whether Dean is b n the National League,” said Frick, a newspaper man before he succeeded John A Hx‘_\'dlfly as head of the circuit in 1934. *“I don't think he is, but this can all be | settled quickly if Dean sees the error of his ways and frankly apologizes to the league for the things he has said or implied and puts it in writing.” | That's what Jerome Herman em-i phatically declared he would not do. | | Denies Lurid Statement. "I'D RATHER jump out of that win- dow (he was on the twentieth floor of a hotel) than sign that letter of apology,” said Dean | “I not only didn't call Frick and Barr the biggest crooks in the league, but have witnesses to prove that I| didn't.” | He referred his listeners to Si John- | #on, another Cardinal hurler, and Franz Laux, St. Louis radio an- nouncer. | “What I did say was that Baff- hdd'| given the Cards the unfairest decision | I ever saw. As for playing in the all- | star game, I would be only too glad | to pitch if selected.” | Dean has had a turbulent career since he ‘became a Cardinal regular in 1932. He precipitated a fist fight n Tampa in this year's Spring train- ing season in which two sports writers | and several players became embroiled. The club has fined him three times | for missing train connections and | failing to appear for exhibition games. | He incurred the wrath of Commis- soner Landis and was fined $100 for failure to participate in a charity ball game at Chattanooga, Tenn, in Oc- tober, 1935. He went on a brief strike three years ago in an effort to get more money for brother Paul. | | | FIVE MILES ON ROAD CHAMP’S ONLY TOIL Braddock Plans Easy Day, While | Schmeling and Garden Put on “Phantom” Bout. By the Associated Press. (CHICAGO, June 3—While Max, Schmeling and Madison Square | Garden solemnly shadow boxed | through the motions of their “phan- | tom” heavyweight title bout in New | York today, the champion himself, | James J. Braddock, did a little work | in preparation for his battle with Joe | Louis in Chicago June 22. | The champion devoted yesterday’s | drill at his Grand Beach, Mich., camp | to defensive work against left hooks.

In this round Detroit cut it to '7-2 and in the sixtk frame| the Eengals got another run. After Newsom had walked Rogell and pitched a double to Walker in the seventh he was yanked for Linke, who was most inadequate as a re- lief pitcher yesterday. Linke walked | Greenberg, filling the bases, and whipped across a fast one to Goose | Goslin, who swung on the first pitch | and hit a home run to tie the score | at 7-7. All this happened before anybody was out, but Linke braced and retired | the side without further scoring. In“ the eighth Linke again was in trouble, | but Cohen rescued him and was doing | well until Fred Sington batted for him in the tenth. In the eleventh Rookie George Coff- man, who had relieved Roxie Lawson, walked two batters: and pitched a single to Stone, putting the Griffs| ahead by 8-7.

YANKEE INGPENER Harvey Miller; basket ball, Dr. Julie | Makes Auspicious Start in Series to Determine Cup Defender. EWPORT, R. I, June 3— I Ranger, Harold S. Vander- bilt's new candidate for the cefense of the America's Cup, made an auspicious start in her racing areer yesterday by beating Yankee nearly 6 minutes on a 30-mile reach- ing course. It was an inconclusive race as far as determining the all- around merits of the two yachts, but it certainly was an encouraging one to those aboard Ranger, which out- footed her rival both broad reaching and close reaching. The course pro- vided no test of either windward work or spinnaker running. Yankee Races Rainbow. | THE two big racing yachts, followed by a score or more of spectator and official craft, sailed out to Bren- ton’s Reef Lightship before a fresh northerly breeze. After looking the situation over, the America’s Cup Com- mittee ordeved @ course to the Clay | Head whistling buoy, off Block Island, and return. With the wind about east-northeast, this gave a broad reach out and a close fetch back, and from the very start there was no indi- | cation that there would be a real windward leg, although both boats made a short hitch on the return trip. | Ranger gets a lay day today, while Yankee and Rainbow have their first set-to of the season.

Twentleth Century Sporting Club’s | SPORTS : Melodist-War Admiral Duel Looms £ GRAY HORSE HELD BELMONT THREAT Colt Being Pointed for Big Race With 3-Year-Old Ruler, Pompoon. BY GRANTLAND RICE, EW YORK, June 3.—Pompoon chased War Admiral home in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and will have an- | other try at catching the son of Man o' War when they reach the Belmont | Stakes Saturday. It may be that this | time the meeting of these two grand 3-year-olds will result in a victory for Pompoon—but J. H. Louchheim and | Samuel Riddle, owners of the rivals, | are warned hereby not to forget that | Melodist, the gray horse with the sil- ver tall, will be in that race, too. Melodist definitely belongs in the company of War Admiral and Pom- poon. He won the Wood Memorial in impressive fashion. That was the day at Jamaica when Pompoon, win- ner of the Paumonok and heavily favored in the Wood, apparently didn't | feel like running. He got lost in the traffic shortly after the start and Melodist, after a slow beginning, ran | past him and the others to win in a great drive down the stretch Melodist didn't like the footing at Churchill Downs on Derby day, lost his stride three or four times and then came on strongly to finish fourth behind War Admiral, Pompoon and Reaping Reward. | “Melodist had no excuses,” Fitzsimmons, who trains him, right after the Derby. “He couldn’t have beaten War Admiral—not then. Not | even on a track more to his liking I don't know whether any of these other 3-year-olds can beat War Ad- | miral. But if any of them can, I think it is my horse. Jim | Munched His Oats. : I\)IELODIST didn’t go to the Preak- | ness. Fitz decided that 1t would be useless to send him to Pimlico ;‘Ahen he was pretty sure he couldn't win, | In the circumstances, it was better not to risk an injury to him, for race | horses are fragile beasts and there always is a danger that they will be ihuxl whenever they step on a racing strip. That's the reason Fitz seldom breezes a horse on the day he is to race. So Melodist stayed in his barn a Aqueduct, where Fitz has his train- Ing establishment, and allowed War Admiral and Pompoon to settle the issue between them in the Preakness. He munched his oats and bided his time, waiting for the Belmont There is something a little ominous in this holding back of Melodist— | at least to the trainers of War Ad- miral and Pompoon. Down through | the years they—and all his other riv- | als—have learned to be wary of Pitz when he points so obviously for a big race. They say—and they should know—that there isn't a trainer in | the land who is more skillful at get- | ting a horse ready for a given race. | Fitz Shows Skill With Snark. i SNARK. in the recent Metropoli- ™" ¥ari! wa¥'® good example. Snark | isn't an especially reliable performer, | He was well liked in the ‘Toboggan, | on the opening day at Belmont, led | the fleld most of the way down the Widener course and then was beaten off when Hal Price Headley's Pre- | eminent came on to win. But Fitz pointed him for the Metropolitan and he turned in a smashing performance, | | _So it may be with Melodist in the Belmont. The gray horse has size, speed and courage—and an able rider in Johnny Longden, whom Fitz first spotted more than a year ago and finally landed Nobody knew much about Mel t before the Wood, in which the price against him was 15 to 1. Now evervbody knows about him, especially the trainers of the | other 3-year-olds. ' When the horsef go to the post in the Belmont, War{ Admiral deservedly will be the favorjte with the public, | and Pompoon the!second choice. But in the paddock they'll be saying: “Look out for Melodist!" Or, more likely, “Look out for Pitz!" WANT DOUBLE-HEADER.

But, while Dean was being banned and refusing to sign any and all apol- | ogles yesterday, three other old-estab- lished firms and two new ones were makKing potent bids for recognition on a basis of services rendered, rather than relations severed ‘The trio of veterans who passed new of effectiveness were, in order of their teams’ standings, Darrell Elijah (Cy) Blanton, Charley Ruffing and Van Lingle Mungo. Blanton pitched his third shutout in setting down the Boston Bees, 2 to 0, and keeping the Pirates on top of the National heap; Ruffing got his fourth straight victory in a 7-hit, 8-to-4 shellacking of the Indians to stretch the Yankees' American League margin to four games, and Munzo, big Brooklyn right-hander, pitched the Dodgers to within a half game of the Cards by halting St. Louis, 6 to 2 the Newcomers Shine. ’I‘HE newcomers clamoring for rec- ognition after varyingly brief spans of service also belong in base ball’s Dattery division. One is Lefty Clyde Shoun, ear-old Chicago Cub recruit, whose o-1 victory over the Giants was fourth of the year and Cubs’ seventh straight, and George Robert Tebbetts, the Tigers’ chunky third-string catcher, whose eleventh- inning homer with two on gave De- troit a verdict over the Nationals. Blanton and Mungo went along almost stride for stride. The Pirate ace gave up six hits and fanned six in achieving his sixth triumph. Mungo allowed seven hits and struck dut seven in notching his seventh. But these two, and Ruffing, who has won every game he's pitched since making his holdout-delayed start on May 16, are major leaguers of estab- lished reputatjon and ability. Shoun, on the other hand, was with Birming- ham of the Southern Association last season, while Tebbetts, except for the last 10 games of the season, spent all of the 1936 campaign with Beaumont of the Texas-league. : Shoun Is iGant Killer. 7OUNG Shoun already has built up A name as a Giant killer. Three of his four victories have been scored at the expense of Bill Terry's club, now only a half-game ahead of the Cubs. He needed help in the ninth yesterday from Charley Root as his mates won the game on four hits off Harry Gumbert Tebbetts, getting his chance through the injury to Manager Mickey Coch- rane, batting .407 for the eight games he has played. His game-win- ning homer was his second in three days. In the only other game played, the Cincinnati Reds, with three double | plays to their rivals’ four, whipped the Phillies, 8-4.
