|DiMaggio To Miss Opening Game?

San Francisco, April 13-(UP)- Joe .DiMaggio will be absent from Boston April 18 when the New York Yankees open their American League campaign unless he receives today an offer of $40,000 from Col. Jake Ruppert, a spokesman for the athlete said.
 There was no indication that Ruppert has increased his last of- fer of $25,000. Unless DiMaggio catches train today he cannot get to Boston by Monday except by airplane. The spokesman said Di- Maggie would not fly.
 Joes last word on the subject ws~ this:
 i've told the Colonel what I want-$40000 8 year. I'm staying in San Francisco unless I get it."
 Members of Joe's family confirm ed that he has no intention of giv- ing in on the money issue.
 "Joe's not going anywhere" one of his brothers said. "He hasn't made any train reservations. And today's the last day he could leave to make the opening game on time. I guess it's up to Colonel Ruppert now because he knows where Joe stands"
 Joe trained with the San Francis co Seals at Hanford, Cal, until two weeks ago. He said he was in ex- cellent condition.

St. LucyS Holy Name Bo10ling Note.

quet we are happy to say that we can always look forward with lot of joy and backwards without re- gret.
 The keen interest shown in the league made it very close battle right down to the final stage with the Senators led by Anthony Mag zie capturing first place and the New Dealers losing second place to the Trailers on the final night and believe or not the last place Pres- identS pinned two costly games on them while the Trailers were win ming three from the G-Men. The Scouts took two from the Senators and finished in fourth position. High single honors went to Dan Cupid" Briotti with a high single of 150, high three games went to Joe Mazzie with 400 set, and high average to Al Carpenter with 1O9. Barney Allesandro Sonia Hienie" of the league took high single with no mark with 96 quite and honor for Barney.
 Talking to one of Red" Mucci Captains of the New Dealers team mate the other night I inquired as to why Red moved himself from the anchor spot in favor of George Mar rone and he replied that Red sound- ed off pretty big all season as big as a bag and full of wind at that, sometimes, piling all the praise on himself and what he was going to do to the Senators, but if you look at the records you will note that if it wasn't for that fuzzy-chinned lead off man of ours we wouldn't even finish in the league. So de- fate Red! deflate!
 Joe Summa, captain of the G. Men whom finished in fifth place kept telling "Spiggie" Mazzie cap- tain of the Senators that he fin- ished first so many times he didn't mind being out of first place for once Sour grapes I'd say"
 Wednesday, April 18th there will be a meeting of the bowling league at the parish hall to decide an im- portant matter concerning the ban- quet so be there at 815 D. m. Fare well until next year.
 Respectfully yours.
