Demonstration by Dean

In 1933 Pitcher Jerome Herman ("Dizzy") Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals called attention to himself by refusing to play in an exhibition game. Result: $100 fine.

In 1934 Dean refused to play in another exhibition game. Result: $100 fine and seven-day suspension for refusing to pay it.

Last week, the annual commotion about Pitcher Dean occurred in Pittsburgh where the Cardinals were playing the Pirates. When the Pirates scored four runs in the fifth inning, Pitcher Dean and his teammate Joe Medwick came to blows in front of their bench. Accounts of how the quarrel started varied. Result: a severe reprimand and threat of a $5,000 fine for Dean; an impudent prediction by Dean that the New York Giants will win the pennant by "at least seven games."
