BY HARRY Service Sports Editor TAMP. When Dizzy Dean first cracked the headlines and was rated nothing more than an in-! credible hick. asked the 0110- time cotton -picker how munch thought he put into pitching.

they tell me this about one hitter and that about another." replied ol' Dix. "but they all 1 alike to I just rear back and rump that thing through there with something on it. "That puts the problem up to: the hitter." Branch Rickey had the same idea in selling ball players long before he peddled Dean and his Jame arm to the Chicago Cubs for $185.000 and three useful hands, one of them Curt Davis, who opened the 1941 world series for the Brooklyns. There isn't a. truer baseball saying than "They never die on the Rickey usually knows.

of course but when he is not positive his sound theory is never to wait to be certain whether a high-salaried Red Bird has had an or is 011 the way down. Unless they're indispensable and in full stride. and especially when they are susceptible to injury- the Rickey system is to sell 'em while ther's market. No other appraiser of ivory can find so many things wrong with :11 athlete, exclusive of playing faults. Like Ed Barrow of tire Yankees.

Rickey is a stickler for conduct off the field, too. Next Yankees, Cardinals meet the stiffest person requirements. But the main point is that Rickicy lets someone else find out whether a Cardinal is slipping. Which brings us around to Johnny Mize, who already has followed in the Rickey sales pattern by bobbing up with a bum throwing shoulder. Rickey does know that Mize has to smack long ball to be much help.

It is probably true B.R. doesn't know whether Mizet: reduction in home run power, from 43 to 17. was just one of those things in the life of ball player or the beginning of the end. So Branch Rickey took the 000 and let the New York Giants worry about Johnny Mize being all in one piece and hitting the ball for magnificent distances. They never die on the St.

Louis Cardinals. HOLD EVERYTHING one COPR 1942 BY NEA SERVICE. INC. T. REG S.

It means that the various schools will begin to prepare for the years to come. It'll be a different setup more or less like the orphanages, where fortune for the year ahead is made in advance. In all probability, this new step will 'benefit the Greyhounds, for little is left of the championship '41 team.

The Douglases and Murdocks are all gone and the problem of building 3. winning combination is bestowed upon Greyhound mastermind Pant Kelly. Yes sirree, the burden is left with Fant, just as the football, basketball and the 1'e- minder of the sports program was left in his hands 11-p to him.
