SIGNS CONTRACT

NEW YORK, April Is GN.s).
Joe DiMaggio's protracted holdout
came to an official close today
when he signed a $4,000 one-year
contract with Col. Jacob Rupert,
owner of the Yankees.
The customary battery of cam
eramen, photographers and news
paper reporters was on hand
when DiMaggio affixed his sigma
ture to the contract.
Colonel Rupert stated emphati-
cally that this was the first and
only contract DiMaggio has signed
for the current season. and
stressed that no bonus clause was
attached to the papers.

Those Early Days

And some speaker is sure to
recount the hardships and dis
appointments which attended
the founding of Notre Dame a
little less than a century ago.
Seven priests of the Holy
Cross Order went from France
and built the first log chapel
which still stands on the shore
Of Notre Dame du Lac.
The first school building was
destroyed by fire almost as soon
as it was completed, and its sue
cessor hardly finished when the
Civil War broke out, decimating
the campus of both students and
faculty there being more
priests from Notre Dame in the
garb of chaplain than from all
other orders combined.
And someone is sure to recall
tonight that out Of a gradual
ing class of 1875 when the World
War broke out, 154 entered the
service before graduation and
the remainder within three
months thereafter.
Listeners will be reminded it
Is such spirit that dominates
Notre Danes gridiron teams,
which have played $50 football
over a period of 20 years under
five coaches against the cream
Of the football world.
And they will be assured there
must be something to what they
proudly term the spirit of Notre
Dame" when its basketball
teams, over a period of Is years,
turn in a record of $50 winning
ball.
It'll be a great night for the

Dizzy was the hero of yester.

He was literally mobbed before

Phil Cavaretta and Carl Reynolds

right. All I had to do was put

Old Campus Story

This pair was so precise in
projecting and receiving for
ward passes that the old-timers
of the campus tell of a reply
given by DoriaS when Rockne
told him to aim for his eye at
O distance of so yards.
DoriaS is said to have blandly
asked which exchanging 1t
exactly where specified.
They say that the secret OF
athletic development at Notre
Dame is to be found in the in
tramural program which has
come down through the years.
The university has an enroll
ment of 1000 and the inter-hall
competition in sports is en-
couraged for every student.
Out of this process emerge
the teams which come to repre-
sent Notre Danes varsity in
various fields of sport.
Those at tonight's gatherings
throughout the country will be
reminded of this wen-knit stu
dent athletic activity at South

A Rich Background

Because Notre Dame has a
rich educational and patriotic
background from which old
grads like Dutch Bergman, Fod
Cotton, and Frederick William
Vile will tell you spring the I'm
deniable spirit which inspires
its athletic teams.
Tommy Mills, who once
coached at Georgetown and
who was an assistant to Knute
Rockne previous thereto, origi-
nally told me the story about
Notre Danes first interSec-
tional football game.
It was with Army exactly Is
years ago this fall and Notre
Dame was scheduled in the ma
ture of a push-over for the
Plainsmen.
When the weary teams
limped off the field, the meager
crowd attending had seen the
underdog from South Bend
emerge with a 35-to-13 victory.
Knute Rockne and Gus
Dorias formed the combination
that passed Army to defeat
that breath-taking afternoon,
and while many capable pass
ing duos have been unearthed
in the years intervening, none
Of them has surpassed them in
brilliance.

May 7.
That is, if you care to take as

Stagehand, winner of the Santa
Anita Handicap and Santa Anita
Derby; the slaShing Jamaica
victory of the Fox, owned by Will
liam Woodward; Bourbon Kings
surprise Chesapeake Stakes VIC
tory, and the trouncing Bull Lea
gave Menow and several others at
Keeneland Saturday.
From there down don't overlook
The Chief. who is running the
legs off Stagehand, his stablemate,
in workouts at Churchill Downs;
LaWrin, the lazy one who perked
up long enough to do a prep mile
in 1:42 3-5 to put aside rumors he
is lame; Tiger, the Milky Way
colt who drew up limping, but was
trim enough to stand a weeks lay
off if it expires in about y hours,
and Nedayr, who opened 1888 at
Jamaica with a third and was
going strong if the distance had
been the mile and a quarter the
Derby requires.
STOCK DROPS
Besides Menow, badly licked in
his last Keeneland start, Mountain
Ridge was taking a back seat in
the railbirdS' eyes today. Noun
tain Ridge took up the torch for
Mrs. Ethel V. Mars stables when
Tigers right foreleg started acting
up, but could wiggle no more than
fifth in Keeneland's Ben Ali
Handicap, a mile-and-a-sixteenth
affair. Main Man, older and car
rying five pounds less, won the
race.
The high.spirited thoroughbreds
who each year seem to buckle
down harder for the historic Derby
have a week to rise and fall, how
ever, before any gueSses on their

place near accuracy. Fighting

Red Breast is expected at Keene-
land from New York today, and
Trainer Earl Sande will van The
Chief in from the Downs today.
DERBY THREAT
The Chief is conceded a bright
chance of making it two-in-a-row
for Sande, whose fencing won last
years blue grass. Some go so far
as to predict The Chief will more
than hold his own in the Derby
against even Stagehand, a Cali
fornia-trained and untried speed
ster in race offering Derby con-
ditionS.
The Chiefs hackers point to
sizzling 1:41 2-5 for a workout
mile, under what they call ire
Straint." At his side was Stage

Downs officials took extra pre-
cautions against accidents on the
back stretch following a narrow
escape during Sundays workouts.
Annoyed by droves of visitors,

down the track. Miraculously, his

from the mount.

Rate Decrease for
Hay Shipments May
Revive Dealers

Hay dealers, driven out of buSi-
ness in the past two years by the
itinerant trucker, may be able to
return to active dealing in the near
future, Roy Wood, of the Hay
Growers association, said Saturday
in reviewing a raj lrate decrease
for hauling of hay from Imperial
Valley to San Diego.
The rail rate decrease will effect
shipments of hay ON the San Di-
ego and Eastern railway from the
valley to San Diego points. A de-
crease OF 10 cents per hundred
pounds of shipments of 24,0OO
pounds was announced by John
Donohue district freight and pas
senger agent.
This reduction Wood pointed out,
would allow dealers to handle the
hay at profit and in competition
with the itinerant trucker.
Efforts are being made by the
Hay Growers association, Wood de-
clared, to effect decrease in rail
rates from Imperial Valley to Los
Angeles markets. Such a move
would revive hay dealers in that
area and thereby give valley grow
ers a wider distribution area.

Pest Elimination

Experiments in dusting of cotton
in the Bard area to rid the crop
Of pests were explained at a meet
ing of the cotton growers of the
valley at the Bard Experiment
station last week, according to
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor.
j. A. Ascuith, OF the Bureau OF
Entomology, made the study to de-
termine what type of insects had
attacked the cotton plants, then
experimental with Il series of dust
ings which completely eradicated
the insects.
Ascuith learned that four types
Of bugs had bored into the cotton
crop and had caused rather heavy
losses, especially in the Bard sec
ton.
The lygus, the creontiades, the
brown cotton bug and the big green
stink bug, caused the most trouble
in the cotton, Ascuith revealed.
The creontlades left the alfalfa
fields and travelled to the cotton
early in June, Ascuith determined
in his study. Later in June the ly-
gus left alfalfa. the brown cotton
bug migrated in July and green
stink bug moved to cotton when all
alfalfa had bee harvested
Experiments carried on by the
ertomologist revealed that cotton
yields could be increased as much
as 900 pounds to the acre by dust
ing.
1t is necessary, however, to apply
series of dustings for results.
Instructions must be followed to
the letter, Ascuith said, or the
cause will be lost
