Friday, June 4, .1037 HOPE STAR, HOPE, ARKANSAS Ordered Suspension Dean Threatens to Sue for Damages Cardinal Ace Would First Appeal His Case to Land is BACK HOME AND BROKEN NEW YORK. Despite Diw.y Dean's continued refusal Friday to formally sign any statement, hacking up his verbal denials of alleged controversial statements, suspension of the Cardinal pitching ace was ordered lifted by Ford Frick. president of the! National Lcatuio. The lifting of the suspension is effective within 24 hours. Frick said.

Denit Walks Out NEW Drnn walk- oil out on Ford Frick. National league president, shortly before noon Friday as thp latest effort to break the (lead- lock over the Cardinal pitcher's indefinite suspension failed. Dean quit his second conference with officials without signing any disavowal of alleged criticism of Frick and the league umpires. Dean emerged in high dudgeon after nrgiiinR for approximately an hour and a half with Frick at a meeting attended also by Clarence Lloyd, secretary, and Frank Frisch manager of the St. Louis club.

The Dispute Continues Ily A LAN OOULI) NEW pointblank refusal to sign a modified "explanation" and "loyally" pledge, much less an apology for alleged statements derogatory (o the National League's chief executive and umpires, Jerome Herman Dean remained Thursday night under indefinite suspension, without pay. The deadlock between the star pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals and Ford Frick, president of the National League, who banished Dean Wednesday "for conduct delrijnenuil to the host interests of baseball," remained unbroken after a heated two-hour con- fcrc'iice. Automatically off the Cardinal payroll, for the duration of his banishment. Dean now faces the alternative of changing his mind and signing formal disapproval of his alleged "popoffs" or appealing to Commissioner Landis for a hearing, after a 10-day interval.

Frick made it clear that the next move was up to Refuses to Apologize Although Dean made a blanket denial, verbally, that he delivered any statements reflecting upon the hon- e.sty or integrity of league officials, for publication or otherwise, he Recomlitionod ReJ'inishcHl Look USED CARS TRUCKS I Him Down Payment Terms B.

Not even when urged to do so by Secretary Clarence Lloyd, on behalf of President Sam Brcadon of the St. Louis club, would Dean consent to sign fourth and final compromise statement from which the word "apology" was eliminated, in a last-minute conciliatory move by Frick. The final draft submitted by Frick for signature dealt only with two items. One concerned incidents connected with the calling of a balk on Dean by Umpire George Barr in the game that Dizzy lost to the Giants, May 19, at St. Louis.

The other covered the publication of the Belleville (111.) Daily Advance of a story quot- Dean as saying Frick and Ban- were the "two biggest crooks" in bnse- ball. This was what Dean finally refused to sign, in the form of a letter to Frick: "I feel that I owe you and the National League an explanation for certain remarks of mine which were made in the presence of newspaper men and which have been quoted in the press. "First, as concerns the balk incident in St. Louis, it is a fact that I knew and had been informed of the balk rule a week before that incident occurred. It is true also that I knew that the balk rule was being enforced generally thioughout the league and was not directed at me.

'It in true also that I was warned about this rule while warming -up for the- game in which that incident occurred. Insofar as the particular balk which was called on me is concerned, it was, of course, a matter of umpire's judgment. In my opinion I did not commit a balk. "The other evening in Belleville, Illinois, I was quoted as making certain statments reflecting upon the integrity of certain umpires and the National League office. I did not make those statements.

In all my experience in big league baseball I'have never once known of a single case of umpires who were dishonest or crooked. I of course retain the right always to question their judgment but I do not for one moment doubt their honesty or integrity. "I trust you will accept this explanation in the spirit in which it is tendered and that the whole thing can today be dismissed as a closed incident. "Assuring you of my loyalty to baseball, and the National League, I am, Sincerely yours." Spartans Rough on Coaches' Nerves EAST Stale's track tenm has the Garrison finish habit.
