NINTH FPETEE LAD,
CROSSING OVER, GLOWING

PETEE LAD is the sleeper in
this number. He has not visited
the winners circle in many a day
but the railbirds have him tabled
for a cleanup and 1t will pay to
string along. CROSSING OVER
will be a tough customer from
the word go. GLOWING COAL
has to be seriously considered.

Selections for good ira

FIRST RACECCOLD CHARITY,
DRAW OUT, ASTERISK.
COLD CHARITY appears much
the best of those that have started
and unless one of the first-time
starters shows exceptional ability,
she will be returned the victor.
DRAW OUT goes coupled with the
top one and is due to show a lot
of improvement over his Pimlico
debut. ASTERISK for the show.

Imperial Valley press., 1938-01-18

DlMagglo, here from the west
for a round of festivities and ban
quets, told the United Press last
night that negotiations concern
ing his contract must be opened
by the Yankees.
I'D like TO have the contract
settled right now," DiMaggio said,
but 1 won't make a move until
I hear from the Yankees"
The tall, black-haired outfielder
denied that he had signed a con-
tract at $4,000 last July, and
added that he hadn't made up his
mind on the exact sum he intended
TO ask for. His answers indicated,
however, that he has in mind a
figure somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000.
Would $4,000 be too high Joe?"
q scribe asked.
Whats the matter with $35 ,0O0?"
he responded. That's a nice fig
ure."
DiMaggio, who has been named
"the player of the year" by the
New York chapter of the base
ball writer's association, drew So
500 in his first year 1886, and SIS
900 last year. He has plenty OF
Imperial Valley press., 1938-01-18

evidence to back up his demands
for a big increase. He hit 346, led
the majors in homers with 46,
drove in 167 runs and was second
to Charley Gehringer in the most
valuable player award contest. He
has developed into a top-ranking
box office attraction all around
the circuit.
Reports that he considered him
self the equal of Lou Gehrig and
would demand parity with "the
iron horse" were denied vigorous
ly by the Californian. Gehrig drew
$36, $50 last year the highest play
er's salary in the majors.
Il never made any statement
that I rated myself on par with
Gehrig," DiMaggio said. Il never
rate myself with anyone especially
Gehrig who's been in this business
long time and has a record of
more distinctions than mine"
DiMaggio said he had no desire
to break any records next season
and would be satisfied to go along
as he did in 1887 and land in the
world series.
