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.

Natatorium at 7:30, when the Fish
and Varsity squads settle the
question of which is the bettejr.'
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
