...Cardinals. Like loud Art ("the Great") Shires, last year's Washington and Chicago freak, Pitcher Dean self-consciously copies the manners of Author Ring Lardner's fictional rookie baseballers, causing his luggage to be emblazoned by complimentary legends and boasting "there ain't no one can touch me when I bear down." Pitcher Dean stated he would win 20 games...

S. citizenry. In his later years it gave him an actual physical revulsion to shake hands with or touch strangers. As an artist he had a magnificent sense of composition, easily held his own in a generation of great draughtsmen: Sargent, Homer, Pennell, Abbey. Critics rate him among his contemporaries somewhere between Edwin Blashfield and John Singer Sargent. Like theirs, his mural paintings were always in the Grand Manner...
