TUESDAY, SEl'UMBER 17. 1963 21jf Aftprrltarr PAGE 12 Dizzy Dean Was Hero Of Last Cardinal-Tiger Series deddine came of the Cardinal- Sports Of The Times he strode jauntily past their dugout "Listen, Fellers," he said. "OK Diz ain't throw in no curves today." He didn't, either. He fired only fat balls and pitched himself a four-hit shutout. McLain would never dare try that nowadays, net even against the lesser hitters who currently populate the Major Leagues.

The Dean antics frequently drove his manager, the Frank Frisch, to the edge of total lunacy. Diz even horsed around and had fun in the deciding game of that 1934 world series against the Tigers. The apoplectic Fordham Flash threatened to yank him, thereby drawing Dean's now classic constantly. love to get that Dutchman mad," he once said.) Finally the flash blew his top, so wild with rage that he expressed the hope the Dodgers would pin back Dizzy's ears. "Them Dodgers ain't pinnin back 01' Diz ears none," drawled the Hillbillv.

"I doubt if they get a hit often Me Paul today." They got three all off Diz. In the second game Paul pitched a no-hitter, thereby upsetting his older brother. "Effen you'da tole me you wuz gonna pitch a no-hitter," complained Diz to his little brother, "I'da bore down instead of jes' coastin' and I'da pitched me a no-hitter, too." He probably would have. Just before the seventh and Tiger world series Frisch gave the needle to his arch-tormentor by announcing that he intended to start Wild Bill Hallahan. screamed outraged Dean.

"Frankie, yoa can't pitch him. You gotta pitch Ole' Diz. I'm the only one sure to win." He was right, of course. Diz won the first and seventh games, losing the fifth. Paul won the third and sixth games.

It was strictly a Dean victory production. Now it will be up to McLain without a little brother to match or exceed the eve-catching efforts of Dizzy Dean, the last 30-game winner to appear in the October hoedown. the world series or anywhere else during those long jears in between. Despite the generation gap there are certain resemblances between Dean and McLain. Both are righthanders.

Roth are individualists who don't fit into the general pattern. Denny is described as which means he has screwball tendencies. 01' Diz, the self-confessed Great Man, was an out-and-out screwball. McLain has an infinite variety of pitches. Dean had only fast ball and curve.

There even was at least one occasion when he didn't bother to use even that limited repertoire. He was scheduled to pitch against the Braves and he made an announcement as By ARTHUR DALEY (f) The -New York Tim's NEW YORK It seems certain that the St. Louis Cardinals will play the Detroit Tigers in the forthcoming world series, a news item that falls somewhat short of being a stunning surprise. Yet it took 34 years for them to get around to having a rematch of their dramatic wingding of 1934, a seven-game spectacular that the rowdy Gas House Gang of St. Louis won uith the flourish of an insolent 11-0 victory in the finale.

The parallel that comes inevitably to mind is that Dizzy Dean won 30 games for the Cards that season and Denny McLain has taken 30 games for the Tigers this one. There has been no 30-game winner in derestimated his prowess. One such underestimation came before the start of that 1934 pennant winning season. Frisch was more jittery than iuual and Diz decided to console him. "Don't you worry none, Frankie," said Diz.

"Me 'n Paul will win 45 games lor you." He was overly modest. His kid brother, Paul Dean, won 19 and the master won 30. One day that year they were about to play a doublcheader against the Dodgers with the Dean Brothers on the mound. At a clubhouse meeting Frisch was going over the hitters, Dizzy contradicting him "They ain't nobody yankin' 01' Diz." said 01' Diz, "not when he's got himself an 11-0 lead." Dean even jarred the Tigers before the series began. They were taking batting practice when Diz sauntered onto the field in street clothes.

Mickey Cochrane, the fiery Detroit catcher and manager, was in the cage. Diz walked in, took the bat from Cochrane, squared off against the pitcher and hit one into the stands. He handed the bat back to Cochrane. "Mick." he said, "I'm the worst hitter we have."

Cary's performance was the talk of the town over the weekend. High school and college games are taking longer and longer to play each year and the new rule which stops the clock after every first down has added at least 20 minutes, if not more, to them. The late endings are causing havoc for newspapers with early deadlines for state editions, particularly in high school coverage. Many high schools continue to start at 8 p.m., but most colleges several years ago moved their starting times up to 7:30 or even 7:15 to aid in press coverage. They realize the value of publicity Auburn years ago began the policy of starting its basketball games at 7:30 for just that reason.

Lamar Benton of The Advertiser sports staff covered the Troy State-Samford game Saturday. Later he figured that with 38 first downs recorded in the free-scoring affair and with 30 incomplete passes, the clock was stopped 68 times in the game, not including normal time outs, official time outs, etc. The convincing Red Wave victory over Sam ford brings speculation that Bill Atkins may have assembled one of the country's great small college football teams this season. If Sim Byrd isn't Little All-America quarterback this year they ought to quit having the thing.
