Off the dia mond, 31,304 Fenway Pnrk funs stood up nml cheered, It was an ovwtlon i that f*w Yankees ever hwurd. Ytui would have, to go back to the days of Ruth and ’Gehrig. DiMag never complains about hla injuries beeiuise he loVes to piny hnlt. After his recent ailment he said: 'Last season the pain -was so tii. fin-r intense it affected both my legs, I using an unnatural stride. My knee swelled. Both thighs pained me, That’s what I want to avoid this year. Maybe it will clear up. I hope so.” DiMaggio’s recent ailment re calls the spring of 1947 when he was missing from the St. Petersburg camp. He was in 'Baltimore where his left heel was mending following a bone spur operation which required 40 stitches. Larry MacPhail, then Yankee president; was in Miami trying to get his No. 1 scout, Paul Krichel, to make a d ea l with Connie Mack. ^ MacPhail and Krichel were stan ding beside a car belonging to another Yankee scout It had a flat tiro and, noticing that Mac- Phuil seemed anxious to got to town, wo picked him up, ”1 don't soe how l can pick tho Yankees to wliu Why, there'a no telling how much DiMaggio will “!uy,” the writer said, "Yon can't pick un worse than second," Macplmll said. ] "That means we'll he the contender, nt worst, And regarding DiMaggio. don't worry. He'll (be all right," Well, the Yankees won the 1947 pennant by 12 games and DiMag gio played 141 games and batte .313. ‘ • ' ' 1 Everyone, it seems, talks about how many times DiMaggio has missed opening day games. A check at the record books shows that since he came up with the Yankees in 1936, DiMaggio has played 132 games or more every season except 1939. And that year he not only batted .381 but led both leagues while playing 120 games. You can bet that DiMaggio will be out there in center field regu larly this season. He wants to finish on top. And he has that contract calling for a reported $90,000. It’s so easy to remember that final game of 1948 when 31,000 usually placid Back Bay fans cheered him to a man. Yesterday afternoon the Baylor Bears played their s|xth baseball J une of the season. Stephen F. ustin, the team that is tp play the Aggies on Kyle Field Saturday met the Bears four times last week with the Waco team winning all. The margin of victory in the last two games was very decisivf. 1 Monday afternoon Hardin Col lege was thp victim of the Bruips in a game marked by a wide difference in the scores. Yester day Baylor played tha strong Oklahoma Aggie nine. Baylor seems to be stepping out all the major college sports. First they had a good football iteam, that they discontinued during the war. At the end of the war they re-entered the conference race with Increased vigor. Next year they are picked to field onp of the lead ing teams in the conference. When the Green and Gold landed thf/majority of the atata ■trong basketball squad in one stroke. With this team wl gomes, other boys still school decided to go to a win nlng school. Tho Bears then started working on buselNill, landing some of the outstanding prospects In the state, among them Rickey Rowe and Le roy Jarl, two fine pitchers, Now the GrUsuMi seem to be working up some son of u track program. They do have some outstanding freshmen trackstej-s among whom Is a boy tntnufd Atsobrook from Ddllas. Thi* year the Bear* have; a fine freshman baseball team. In fact, the Cubs arc supposed to hive ty 7-2 in ^ IUV SMI* aaii In one winning in high beaten their varsity an jin- tra-squad game. We’ll probably have a chance, to see this team in action against the Aggie Fish before the year is oVer. ★ ' According to the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Red Sog broke into the black on the ledger books for the fourth time in 16 ytear^ in 1948. This profit in the ’48 season was $55,296 as compared with the $15,073 loss the preceding year. Thomas A. Yawkey, owner- presiden*., of the Bed Sox, has been trying tq buy a champion ship team for lo these many years and has been letting the green stuff flow liberally in do ing so, .' / .' .\ Last year one of the Sox stars, Ted Williams, made more -playing for the Boston team than the own er did in owning it Mr. Williams salary was around $80,000 and with no capital investment. Such a peon! If the Aggie track squad returns from the Ft. Worth track meet this weekend with the title in their hand, they wiR be deserving of a big welcome home from their back er*. For the Ft! Worth meet has no university two mile event, in which the Aggies stand to come out seven points better than the Steers. Ho when the Aggies go to the Cowtown get together, they will he spotting the Longhorns seven points. At Laredo, the team was limited to 30 members in all. This also threw some advantages to the Austinites. In the Fort Worth meet the Aggler cap he expected to enter mII the mi'ii that might uoselhio guln tmme noluts, Especially la this true In the field events, where the Aggie* lost out to Texgs to tho tune of 13 points In Luredo, They beat the Bovine* by nine points in the track section of the Border Oli'tnplcs. After Ft. Worth, the teams should bo on even terms with the final outcome not to bo ascertain ed until the Conference Track meet to be held; in Fayetteville, Arkan sas. Freshman tracksters will be ta ken to FI, Worth to compete in the freshman class. A&M has somd good track Fish and they should do well in Ft. Worth. But you don’t win college points with high school press clippings. HI A vrrslty nf II HI, . ii) r . j Briefs Kmn .umml plni'*.

Loyola of Chicago will meet Bradley University, and Bowling Green of Ohio will face San Fran cisco in an all-cinderella team line up at Madison Square Garden.; / Gone are Kentucky, the nation's No. 1 college quintet acclaimed in some quarters as the best ever; defending champion St Louis University; and .the two other seeded entries — Utah, No. 3, and Western Kentucky, No. 4.

Newly elected team captain, Danny Green, will lead the Var sity into the contest, while the Fish will be led by Van Adamson and Billy Karow, whom tha fresh men chose as their leaders. Coach Adamson stated that he would have nothing to do with this meet except in the capacity of an official and that whoever won it would still be his team. This is a new experience for the swimming mentor, not having to worry about the outcome of an Aggie swimming meet Swim fans should be interested in the 220 and 440 yard freestyle races toinght. The last time the two squads met, there Was quite a tussel between Van Adamson and Bernie Syfan fpr suprewaci’j in these two events, with young Ad amson coming in to win both events by a bare margin, The backstroke* race should be another good one from the fans’ viewpoint. In all probability, this event will find the Varsity’s Ed Kruse and Bill Sargeant, of the Fish team fighting it out for first place. Whoever the Varsity enters in the breaststroke evignt will ( find some pretty tough competition in Billy Karow, Fish Co-Captain, who placed third in this race at* 1 the AAU meet this yew. k‘i .. i boxing finish itohi i *•*■»*■ its first mitohes, Chemical Ware p#ny downed A Field Ar* I team handball and ad- 1© the firials in thgt sport, afternoon a( 6 p.m. C.WS A Infantry for the Team title.
