Like Shires Mr. Dean has nrovided the writing boys with I a lot of sprightly copy thif spring. I Mr.

Dean's favorite subject is the wizardiY of his pitching arm. "I cunt miss being a great star be inonnting eccentricities and there, is talk that he may be shipped back to the bushes. That would be rerrettable. The major leagues could stanl a few Dizzy Deans around. They add piquancy to the show.

In the end a long procession of stenciled types become monotonous. i The blow hard in sport is more amusing than vulgar anyhow. Jack Sharkey was a much more interesting personality before he got a lawyer to do his talking for him. The verbal bombastics of Shires didn't make him any less attractive as a ball player. It was too bad that he didnt have the ability to measure up to the high esteem he' held for 4 himself.

Self confidence Is a fine quality and generally plays an important part in the winning formula. But it is not always easy to distinguish crenulne self confidence from a blus tering cockinesy and conceit. Not right off at least. Personally I am rather strong for the cocky athlete, provided he's got something to be cocky about. I find it much easier to accept this type as sincere than the professional modest violet who, in a moment of triumph, says to his public: deserve no credit at I was merely All the leaders in sport have been pronouncedly cocksure, and when they had run their race their achievements spoke for themselves.

Somehow old John L. Sullivan seemed to strike he keynote for the modern etiampion that night long ago in a Boston theater when upon bein Introduced he "stalked to the footlights, scowled ferociously around Wliitey Olson Special to tho Poet PHOENIX, Ariz. Whitey Olson, brilliant Swedish infielder who played shortstop for the Senators last year, will return to Phoenix again this season, but he win be shifted to third according to Louie Guisto, manager of the club. Gufcio Is elated that he will have Olson's services again. Oakland officials at first were re tactant about sending him back to Fhoemx, believing he was ready for faster cenpany.

If any of them. here doubts it, come on!" That In principle can be applied to any champion. Sullivan became the champion of the world because he was firmly sold on himself. Ty Cobb was the arch egoist of baseball From the start he believed himself better than jiny ball player that ever drew on a pair of spliced shoes. Most of his early day con flicts grew out of a sense of extreme superiority as a performer.

He believed there was nothing that could be done on the diamond by human hands that he couldn't do just as well, if, not a great deal better. Cobb was an egoist with brains. When he talked he said things. Once he told me: "When you go to bat in a tight ball game with runners on base all you've, got to remember is that the pitcher. is more worried about you than you are about him.

Keep that in mind, make him get that ball over and when he does smack it. The advantage is all on your side but you must make yourself appreciate it to do any good." In cockiness and spirit there are plenty of Cobbs left In baseball. One of these Is Earl Whltehill of the Tigers. Mr. Whitehill has a very high opinion of himself.

Around the circuit the boys call him Chesty. He came up from RlnnlnrliAm wml VMM 9r(L The first big league team he faced Whitehill had heard a few vague rumors about a guy named Ruth. The game started and a couple of Yankees got on between outs. Ur came Mr. Whitehill began to work on him with no show of emotion.

Ruth fouled the first pitch off. and missed the second, a curve. At this point Mr. Whitehill walked to the plate and asked Billy Ev ans the umpire to call time. Then, turning to the Tiger catcher, Johnny Bassler, Mr.

WhitehiH with gorgeous sarcasm said: "Now Johnny when tils mug Ruth comes to the plate be sure to let me know. Ill buzz one under his chin that will take his breath away." Was Ruth's face red? Indignation set in at every pore. He glowered out at the Tiger pitcher. He roared: "Corne on and put that ball over and 111 drive it down your throat, you fresh busher. Mr.

Whitehill calmly wound up and shot a perfect strike through the middle which Ruth, now flam ing mad, missed completely.
