Show A THE S ALIN A SUN, SAUNA. UTAH of Sports Dean Through? No One Knows Final Sentence TT IS becoming evident that the Yankees of 1940 are not going to do as much league wrecking this season as they did the last four years. In the first place Joe DiMaggio may be a doubtful quantity for some time to come. And Joe DiMaggio means more to the Yankees than one might imagine. When you remove a .385 hitter, one of the leading home-ru- n punch- ers and one of the best of all defensive outfielders, you are losing something no team can afford to lose not even the Yankees. The odds are that DiMaggio will be as good as ever in a 6hort while, but he will still be a gamble. A wounded knee is always a gamble. Ask any good trainer.

Even the most ardent Dean rooter would hesitate before calling him an elevating influence in the baseball world. But none of them captured the public fancy as did It was only six years ago that Dean won 30 games as St. Louis captured the National League pennant and the World Series. Today, the pitcher for whom the Chicago Cubs paid $185,000 in cash probably will be relegated to the permanent role of relief pitcher.
