-~AGE FOUR HERE’S ‘THE INSIDE ON DIZZY ‘DEAN By DILLON GRAHAM M front 0 Wide World Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Ever| hear the inside story of the fin-| ish of Dizzy Dean’s career as a! top-flight pitcher? John | Car-|. michael, of the Chicago Daily| News, sat in.on a fanning bee} recently and heard Ol’ Diz tell! it. Here’s guest columnist Car-; michael’s report: { “‘And the minute I let the; ball go, said Dean, ‘I felt some-; thing snap. My arm fell down.} It was dead. I never was worth| a damn after that. It never; came back.’ i “It has been five years, now, since the day in Washington at the All-Star game that Earl‘ Averill smashed that line drive| off Dean’s foot and brought to aj premature close one of the great-! est careers in baseball history. { “By nightfall of that fatal day, ; Dean’s toe was as black as coal and swelling to the size of a man’s fist. He went back to St. | Louis barefooted. Couldn’t be-| gin to get a shoe on. ‘When Doc Hyland (the Cardinal physician) } saw it he was worried,’ Dean} reminisced. ‘He told me I should-; n’t a-let it go for a couple of) 5 FINSH | front of my shoes but we we fightin’ for a pennant.’ “Well, Dean pitched. ‘I couldn’ | take my full stride, so I was}! throwin’ from way back, here} and he showed what he mear . . ‘I didn’t have mith [ - couldn’t get nothing on, the but we went along natin until the seventh. Bill McKec nie had the Braves then and he} was coaching at third base and| watching me and once he called: | 1 “Jerome, you're hurting yourself. | You’re not natural. | Look out!” | “‘Then in the seventh I got al jstrike on Bill Urbanski and let! another ball go. That’s when 1 felt'the snap. Yes, sir, just as! plain. My arm felt like lead and! McKechnie, he came running out | to the mound and he said: “Je-; rome, you ’ve ruined yourself-. i you've done it.” I had, all right. | I was finished up. I got a single! in the 11th and they never even , put a runner on for me. I couldn't hardlv walk, let alone run. We! lost, 1-0, in the last half.’ | “That was on-a_ Wednesday | and the following, Sunday Dean | (tried again in Brooklyn. This time | he went 14 inningsrto a tie . . game called. ‘But I wasn’t foolin’ | STORY days but they told me in the club- | myself, Dean said, ‘I was through. | nome over there it wasn't brok-} .just bruised. Well, Doc put; splints on it and there I was on} crutches.’ | eee 1 “The Cardinals went East, with- | out Dean. Within 10 days they had slumped to 3% games out} ~ of first place. ‘Branch Rickey| called me up,’ continued Dean, | ‘end asked me if I could join the| club. Said he knew I couldn't) pitch but I might pep up club. So I joined the club Boston. “T just got into the clubhouse} > and Frankie Frisch asked me if! I could pitch. I told him yes. I} never said no in my life. The; »splint was sticking outta the) in} | * “WE MET WITH “ STADIUM COMMITTEE At the City Hall Wednesday night, a very enthusiastic meet-! ing was held by the Key West} Stadium Committee. | Those present were: "Chairman Gerald Saunders, } “City Attorney T. S. Caro, J. M. _-Varela, Roy Hamlin, Rogelio Gomez, Secretary Eva Warner,/ J. A. Mendoza, William Cates, J. Carbonell, J. Barcelo, Geo. Dean} and Peter Aguilar. Mr. Gomez and the committee! » discussed conditions in which Mr. | *Gomez will build a fence around | the proposed stadium. | Mr. Gomez declared that he} *will have the fence up when the playing field is ready.

The document) FOLLOWING THROUGH BY AGUILAR ‘the hands of the Dean Stars, 5; Leo Durocher knew it, too, and| he and Frisch had a fight that! i night over it. Leo kept hollerin’: out: “You wanna kill the man? ;Get him outta there.”’ “Nobody did. Dean paused. ‘T figure I'd just been in my prime | now. I hadn’t even learned all) about pitching. But it can’t be! helped and I was lucky any- away: 62” i} | The following | year—1938—j $185,000 and three players.
