I know our work is cut out for us, but if we play our best then we can make a run at them.” The tournament will have six sing les matches and three doubles.

He was a great pitcher. But I got a triple and two singles off him that day. I managed to hit him afterward while all other batters were having a tough time with him.” The great DiMaggio said his final hit came in the 1951 World Series against the New York Giants. “It came off Larry Jansen,” he said. “I think everyone in the stands knew that it was gonna be my last hit in the Stadium. They gave me a wonderful ovation.” Louis, the Brown Bomber in a neat brown suit, recalled his two fights with Germany’s Max Schmel- ing and his title fight against Max Bahr in the old Yankee ballyard. Schmeling had beaten Louis the first time when he was a young chal lenger out of Detroit. “As I drove to the Stadium for the second fight that night June 22, 1938, I turned to my manager, Jack Blackburn and said, ‘If I don’t get him in three rounds, you’d better come and get me because I won t have anything left,’ ” Louis said. Louis stopjaed Schmeling in the first round. Six members of the 1923 team which played on the Yankees when the original Stadium was opened Aj^ril 18, 1923, shuffled out to the infield to take their bows. They were Boh Shawkey, who pitched the 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox; Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.

Shawkey was given the honor of throwing the first ball. Instead of doing it from the stands, as is cus tomary, he took his stance on the mound and lobbed a right-handed throw to Yankee catcher Thurman Munson, standing about 20 feet away. Bobby Richardson, former Yan kee infielder now prominent in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, gave the invocation, and Robert Merrill of the Metropolitan Opera sang the National Anthem. Four men whose careers have been intertwined with the Yankees over the years were special guests. They were Jim Earley, former Post master General who saw his first game in 1904; Toots Shor, the well- known restaurateur; Mel Allen, the long-time voice of the Yankees, and Pete Sheehy, celebrating his 50th year as the Yanks’ clubhouse man.
