“Dizzy” Dean Hurls Final Game For Cards; Wins 9 To ()
NEW YORK G
BEATEN AGAIN BY
BROOKLYN DODGERS
St. Louis Fans Jubilant
Over Teams Great Win
in National Loop.
By HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer |
Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean, the |
major half of the St. Louis Cardi- |
nals' two-man, one-family pitching
staff, stood out tocay as the
greatest single figure of the 1934
major league baseball season.
It \\':ysn’l merely that Jerome
Herman, whose consistent pitching
thoroughout the season offset the
popular notion that he is "Dizzy"”
or. eccentric, . pitched throughout
the season offset the popular no
tion that he is “Dizzy” or eccen
trie, pitched the final 9 to 0 shut
out of -the Cincinnati Reds that
doubly clinched the pennant for |
the St. Louis club yesterday after
the Giants had “blown” themselves
out of the race by dropping a ten!
inning 8 to 5 decision to Brook
lyn. |
In the course of 4 1-2 months
of the campaign the elder Dean
took part in 50 games for the
Cardinals, hurled 24 complete con
tests and won 30 victories while
losing only seven decisions. It's
been quite a while since anyone
did anything like that. Dizzy, in
winning his 30tk triumph with a
seven-hit performane and his sev
enth blanking of the season, be
came the first National league
pitcher to touch that mark since
Grover Cleveland - Alexander did it
for the Phillieg in 1916, and the
first right handed flinger to make
the grade in either cireuit since
Jim Bagby of Cleveland won 31 in
1920.
. Almost overlooked in the hulla
baloo over the National league
race were several other outstand
ing .eatures of the 1934 seasoOn.
pwr ¢ ther places weren't decided
untit the final day of the season.
The Boston Braveg clinched fourth
place in the National and a ghare
of the world series proceeds by
beating the Phillies twice, 4-3 and
-4 while the Cubs belted Pitts
burgh over twice, 8 to*2 and 7 to
5. The Athletics, who moved out
of seventh place in a late-season
spurt, finally finished fifth when
‘they split a twin bill with the Red
Box, ‘winning 4-2 after losing 5-
0. Rogers Hornsby's Browns, who
“had a chance to beat them, ran up
against the champion Tigers the
Jast day and took two drubbings
10-6 and 6-2.
Washington, American league
titleholders a year =ago, wound up
a dismal season in seventh place
even though they closed with a §
to 3 triumph over the Yankees.
- The other twin bill on yester
?’%n prograra saw the Chicago
White Sox win the opener 9-5 and
‘the Clevland Indians take the five
‘inning afterpiece 5<3.

“Dizzy”’ Dean or ‘“Wild
Bill” Hallahan Will
Hurl Series Opener.
By KARL R. BAUMAN
ST, LOUlS—(P)—Staid St. Louls
worshipped today at the feet of
two tall, strong-armed young men
not far removed from the cotton
fieldg of the south—“those Deans!”
They used to rate Jeérome (Diz
zy) Dean as a braggart when he
talked of his pitching greatness;
today they said he was only tell
ing the truth. DidnY Dizzy #ay
last spring ‘“Me and my brother
Pau] oughta win 40 or 45 games
for those Cardinals?” and didn‘t
they do it, witn some to spare?
The newspapers call Dizzy the
“King of St. Louis”, but if Dizzy
ig the king; Paul is the Crown
Prince. It was so unlike the day
when they picked cotton in the
south. Wi
If not Dizzy Dean for the Cardi
nals in the geries opener, the best
guess seems to be “Wild Bill” Hal
lahan, a left hander.
The dopesters, figuring that
Manager Frankie Frisch might
want to give Dizzy some rest, re
called that Hallahan, not as effeq
itve this year as usual, defeated
the Detrot Tigers twice in exhibi
tion games thisg year.
Some of the “wise ones” held it
would be good strategy on Frisch's
part to give Dizzy more rest and
use a veteran in the first game.
Then, too, they said, the Tigers
don't like south-paws. Pepper
Martin, hero of the Cardinals 1931
World Series victory over the
Philadelphia Athletics, remarked,
“There’'s no better money pitcher
in baseball than Bil] Hallahan.”
Twenty-five mémbers of the
Cardinals, including 21 Tplayers,
were voted full shares of the
team's World Series pool. Besides
the active players, Coaches Mike
Gonzales and Ciyde Wares, travel
ing Secretary Clarence Lloyd and
Trainer “Doc” Weaver will get full
shares.
Charley” Gelbert, who has been
out of action for two years as a
result of gunshot wounds in the
leg, will receive SI,OOO. Several
others connected with the elub in
non-playing roles wil) receive suims
ranging from SIOO to SSOO.
© The “line” at the bleacher gate
for PFriday’'s World Serieg game
formed early today while St. Louis
was still celebrating the Cardinals’
vietory.

Alabama, the defending cham
picn, opens its conference slate

MTED IN FOURTH
PLACE, TWD TEAMS
BATTLE FOR TITLE
World Series Described
As a “Naturai” By
Baseball Critics.
By ALAN GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK.—(#)—By a start
ling and highly dramatic sequence
of baseball events, two clubs which
were picked in the pre-season
“dope” to finish no better than
fourth will fight it out for the
world’s championship, starting
Wiednesday in Navin TField, De
troit. <
Tt will be the truculent Tigers
of Detroit, champions of the Amer
ican league for the first time in
25 years, against the high-flying
Cardinals of St. Louis, heroes of
the greatest non-stop pennant
flight in the history of the old Na
tional league.
Tt’'s a baseball “natural” if there
ever was one, bringing back into
the big-money arena not only the
elusive war-horse of the Osage
country, vour oid friend Pepper
Martin., but featuring the sharp
shooéing of the celebrated Dean
hrothers against the yonthful skill
nf the renowned Schoolbny Rowe,
and a battle of managerinl wits
between Frank Frisch and Mickev
Cochrane, eacr rounding out his
firet full vear as a big jeague nilot.
Regardless of what the experts
thoueht of them last spring. bhoth
the Tigers and the Cardinals dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of all
concerned thev are the best clubs
in either bhig league.
The Tigers cnasted to victorv
behind the battering-ram power of
an iron-man infield, the spectacu
lar pitching of Rowe and the dy
namic leadershin of Cochrane.
The Cardinals. from a snot
where they appeared out of the
race bharely three weeks ago. slash
ed their way past the Cubs and
the Giants with an all-conquering
Arive featuring the amazing pitch
ine of the Dean bovs.
Both team« earry mors eneced
and aggressiveness as well as
more hatting nower. than anv oth
ers in haseball. Bnth are chockfnl
of confidence and r’arin’ to go but
somebodv will have to run for
cover when those Dean boys start
Tiger-hunting.

Of Workouts to Keep
Tigers in Good Shzpe
DETROIT — (&) —Pleased with
the spirit and the prowess of his
Tigers, Manager Mickey Cochrane
mapped a series of work outs to
day lo keep the boys on their toes
right up until play is siarted Wed
nesday. . :
Asked whether he would start
Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe in the
opening game Cochrane replied: “I
may,’ and added that Alvin Crow
der and Tommy Birdges also were
possible. choices.
“I will probably pick the one
who seems best fitted for the job
on the day of the game,” he said.
Although the pitching berth for
Wednesday's opener remains un
filled, the remainder of the Tiger
lineup will be the same as that
which has gone through the entire
season. The demand for reserved
geats for the Navin field games
continued to grow despite the fact
that all such seats have Dbeen
allotted.
GEHRIG AND WANER
LEADING BATTERS
Gehrig Leads American,
Waner National in
Batting Average.
(By the Associated Press.)
Two hitting pertormances in the
American league overshadowed
the batting races of the 1934 ma
jor league season as Lou Gehrig of
the Yankees and Hank Greenberg
of the Tigers threatened but failed
to break a couple of records.
Gehrig belted 49 home runs to
reac¢h a. new personal high mark
in circuit swatting, although he
couldn’t attain Babe Ruth’s all time
high of 66. The Yankeé iron man
took the batting title in the junior
circuit, according to the unofficial
averages, by compiling a .363
mark, and batted in 167 runs, not
far short of his own league record
of 184.
Greqnberg, specializing in two
base hits, collected a total of 63
for the year, halting just three un
der the major league record set
by Earl Webb of the Red Sox.
Paul Waner of Pittsburgh easily
took National league batting hon
‘ors with a .362 average. In addi
tion Waner was his circuit’s lez 1-
ing scorer and hit manufacturer.
