| Show 4 e g new york post WOT service dem dean frick battle has made cardinals more serious outfit NO 0 DOUBT the real facts in the ccase case are merely that dizzy dean tan has recently happened to have ha ve some ome of his best days while lu III luck has been continuing its overdue catching up with carl hubbell maybe that the whole explanation though certainly a change his has come over the cards dugout since the st louis representatives were training in florida and since the season opened during the training period frankle frankie frische hs young men were more concerned with the lighter aspects of life than with the business of baseball having read in the newspapers that they were due to win a pennant they let it go at that and devoted their more diligent attention to guitar concerts on street corners once the national league season had started there was no greater concern over frequent defeats somehow the athletes seemed to believe that such rebuffs could not happen to them in real life and that they would wake up almost any morning to find they merely had been victims of bad dreams captain leo durocher having played with a yankee team or two that similarly misplaced its confidence over a portion of the season was one of the few who had a correct line on the situation yeah weve got a good team but its a young one he be explained when the cards were moving blithely and none too adeptly through their heir early season exercises A team like that can win a pennant and it also can finish away down with the dodgers its all how bow the breaks fall fail or rather bow things click Some things got to wake us up op and start us going what how do I 1 know how does any one know those things just happen remember that time in cleveland when mike gazella just a substitute sti tute practically browbeat a yankee team into snapping out of it and grabbing the flag nobody told him to do it he just happened to touch off the spark when too many great players were feeling low or acting careless something similar can happen to us then watch viewing the cards the before a same game recently I 1 remembered that conversation the collection of babbling carefree young men who were more concerned with carrying on feuds among r themselves it than h a n with doing serious k damage to the opposition a month ago had changed the cards were not the hard bard bitten gas dizzy dean house gangsters of two or three seasons ago but neither were they joyriding joy riding youths more than anything they were like the giants who sat in the dugout across from them serious athletes that is young men not given to too much carryings carry ings on but intent upon giving the fans who crowded the stands a fair break for the attention lavished upon them even dean ordinarily a gentleman who could give a ten mile start to Tenny sons famed brook in any babbling contest was as silent as hubbell across the way only once in the 30 minutes immediately preceding game time was there anything like the celebrated dean wit and humor then some soma stranger intruded to ask for the classic dean A signature on a baseball shucks was the reply then get away man the only way ill sign anything with that guys name on it is with a bat since the name ot of ford prick frick president of the national league and the recent spanker of mr dean is prettily written on all the league baseballs before they leave the factory there seemed no doubt about who that guy was also the chorused amens which fol followed lowet I 1 this fervent announcement seem now to indicate what has converted the cards into a team the st representatives continue to chafe under the reprimand of the league president who was vas only doing his duty frick revealed to them that they were not quite the objects of popular adoration that some of them had conceived themselves to be since the truth hurts worse than anything else the young men were bound to get even dean pitched as he can pitch when he remembers lie he is no longer a barefooted kid in an arkansas cotton patch the cards played the ball ot of which they are capable NOT IN THE BOX SCORE BILL RILL STEWART baseball umpire and former
