Trout, 56, a hulking man with a booming voice who was a 27- game winner in 1944 and did an 1 iron man stint in leading ' the Tigers to the 1945 American League pennant, died of cancer in a hospital Monday. In 1945, Trout hurled six games in nine days, Sept. 8-16, winning four to pace the Tigers’ title drive. The father of 10 children, Trout served as Chicago White Sox good-will ambassador from 1959 when he was hired by Bill Veeck, then Sox owner, to form an un beatable after-dinner rostrum battery with Veeck. It was difficult to sift fact from hilarious fiction in Trout’s oratory as director of the Sox speakers bureau, but the record book proved Dizzy mainly put his mouth where his pitching arm was. • LADIES ONLY • FREE BABY SITTER • ROMAN WHIRLPOOL • FINEST EXERCISE EQUIPMENT • GRECIAN STEAM ROOM • MAGIC FACIAL • FLORIDA SUN ROOM • MEMBERSHIPS TRANSFERABLE • PERSONAL SUPERVISION • SHOWERS AND MAKE-UP AREA • INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED PROGRAMS lANNtaERICARD, MON-FRI. 9 to 9 ■ ilfljri . -•.'v . 3710 E. 29th GREAT ISSUES COMMITTEE PRESENTS CHINA-THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP AN ANALYSIS BY DR.
