Yanks See Salary
Battle With
DiMdggio

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-UnleSs
the baseball experts are selecting
this time to be as wrong as pos.
sible, the nation will be fairly
ripped asunder within the next
few hours with a long-drawn out
wall that will be heard all the
way from San Francisco to New
York.
That, the experts say, will be
Joe Gittle Bambino) DiMaggio
refusing the New York Yankee
contract which finally is speeding
westward today, with all the
others also en- route to their re-
spective destinations.
Reliably reported to have been
paid $8,500 last season when he
established himself among the
greatest first year men in the
history of baseball, he has been
offered a salary boost believed to
be about $4,000, or a salary Of
$13,500 for whatever he might
contribute toward winning an.
other American League pennant
and world championship next
summer.
But he expects $4,000 by his
own recent admission and a bat
tie reminiscent of those between
Col. Jake Rupert, Yankee owner.
and Babe (Big Bam) Ruth may
be in the making.
DiMaggic, topped last season
among the Yankees by only Bill
Dickey and Lou Gehrig in hitting,
led the club in doubles and tied
in the entire circuit for triples.
While he is expected to be the
one real holdout, argument from
Gehrig and Dickey would cause
no surprise.
Gehrig, major league home run
king last season, was paid $751;
900, and the same in 1885. It
isn't probable he has been asked
to take a cut. but he may expect
a raise for helping the Yanks
break a dozen records.
The Washington times., 1937-01-21

If this is done, Jacobs will take
the harassed Schmeling-B -Braddock
heavyweight championship fight
beyond the long arm Of the cloak
and suit industry here and place it
in the Middle West.
Chicago or Milwaukee will be
it's ultimate destination, if this
Setup is put through-with Chi.
cago favored. That much alone ]
can state with authority. The
rest is strictly unconfirmed, al-
though I think it's significant that,
of three people in a position to
talk about the matter, Jacobs is
saying the least.
Announcement Due
All he would admit today was
that he knew that President John
R. Fitzpatrick was making an an
nouncement after the Louis fight.
However, Colonel "Harumpfff" Kill
patrick, the well-known throat
clearer, spoke as follows:
Eyes, it may be that I'll have
something to " soon. Boxing,
you see, stops in the Garden with
the Louis fight and isn't to be
resumed until May. Yes, /
think you may quote me as say
ing that may have something to
say"
This clear and utterly fearless
statement by the colonel was fol-
public utterance. Privately, he is
said to be so alarmed by anti
Nazi sentiment against Schmeling
that they say he's even asking the
rival promoter, Jacobs, what the
latter thinks he ought to do.
The latter, I happen to know
thinks the fight should be taken
to Chicago, where at $25 tops it
figures to do 100000 or better
Straight Rental Basis
However, if there's any arrange
ment already made. or being
made, between Jacobs and the
Garden, it will be strictly on a
straight rental basis for about II
fights a year. That's how far box
ing has sunk in the Gardens
scheme Of dates-down to about
per cent Of the business.
Meanwhile, the third figure in
the offing, James j. Johnston, the
Garden matchmaker, was singu
larly unmilitant today, to the
point of conceding that he might
be through. The papers have been
throwing the man out on his derby
for years. but this is different
He's even starting to throw him
self.
