VINCE DI MAGC|O, EYES IMPROVED, MAY HELP BEES
Better Vision Expected to Bring Basehits to BOs-
 ton Star
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff CorrespOndent)


 Bradenton, Fla, April 1.-lUP)- Hold a pencil in front of Vince Di- Maggio's nose now and he'll see only one pencil. When an oculist held a pencil before his nose last July 4 DiMaggio saw two pencils.
 That's why he couldn't hit and why he donned glasses when he went to bat during the last half of the 1887 season. His average climbed 30 points from 229 to .259 while he was wearing glasses and then slumped off to .256 at the tag end of the season because of a shoulder injury.
 The older brother of the Yan- kees' more celebrated Joe won't wear glasses this season when he plays center field or goes to bat for the Boston Bees. His eyes are strong and he says he can see a baseball right on top of him.
 It took three months of exercise to cure the farsightedness which almost wrecked Vince's major league baseball career. After he had his eyes examined last July and a doctor recommended he wear glasses. Vince started exercises to correct his vision.
 Twenty-four times a day for three minutes at time he moved a pen- Gil back and forth from arms length up to his nose and fol- lowed it with his eyes. After two months his sight showed notice able improvement, so he reduced the exercises the third month. He still does them occasionally.
 Last spring DiMaggio, bought on a conditional sale from San Diego in the Coast league, almost was turned back because of his failure to hit. He wasn't batting his weight when he went north. His hitting during the first half of the season was spotty. He struck out often, and only once in 8 while got an extra base hit for which he was famous in the Coast league.
 T really believe my eyes are stronger than they've ever been," said DiMaggio. T know I'm hit ting better this spring than I ever have before. I can see the ball much better and I have more con- fidence. think I'll have a much better year at the plate than I did last season."
 r Casey Stengel, Bees manager, is banking heavily on DiMaggio SUD- plying some of the power for which Boston is starving.
 Vince is as good if not better, defensively than any center fielder in baseball" says Stengel, land I don't bar his brother Joe. He can go and get 'em farther and his arm is just as accurate. If he improves his batting he'll be a star"
 Vince is one of nine DiMaggio children-five boys and four girls. He is friendly and easy to talk to and makes no attempt to cash in on brother Joe's reputation.
 T prefer to stand or fall on my own achievements" said Vince.
 He used to live in Los Angeles. where he worked in a department store in the winter, but he moved back to San Francisco shortly after his wife had a baby, now about four months old.
 That's the big reason why I want to make good as a hitter this sea- Son-for my baby" Vince said.

 Raymond Scott goes the credit for
 creating 8 type of novel compost

Tradition has it that Noah was the first to celebrate April Fools Day. to con1- memorate the wild goose chase on which the first dove released from the ark was sent" Ripley says "It's appropriate, therefore, that there should be a flood of practical jokes on April First, the day cor responding to that on which Noah celebrated the doves futile flight.
