est batting average on the West
coast, 1851, led in total hits and runs
scored, and was among the leading
home run hitters.
Dom started playing ball with the
Monterey Preside team. From
there he jumped to the San Fran
cisco Seals, where he hung On in
spite Of couple Of bad starts. He
batted just above 300 in his first
two seasons. Like the rest of the
family, he is an outfielder.
Brother Vince DiMaggio, now the
property of the Cincinnati Reds, is
the oldest but least known Of the
illustrious trio. It was Vince who
first went to the baseball wars.
While junior high school student
he was picked as a member Of q
San Francisco all-star team. Be-
fore he went to high school he was
picked up by the Seals. Father
Giuseppe DiMaggio wasn't at all en-
thusiastic. He argued. All the
DiMaggios had been fishermen.
Vince's liking for the game won out.
Joe's Introduction
It was Vince who brought Brother
Joe into the game. Late one sea-
son, when Vince was with the Seals
and when all contests for place in
the Pacific Coast league had been
decided, Augie Galan, the shortstop,
asked to be excused from a game
to 60 on transforming tour. The
manager said he could 60 if he
would find somebody to play short
stop. Vince DiMaggio dug up his
brother Joe. That was the start Of
the greatest DiMaggio career.
Largely on the strength of Joe's
reputation, Vince went to the Boston
Bees. He couldn't hit major league
pitching, and in 1888 led the Nation
al circuit in strikeouts. He was sent
to Kansas City. There he began to
hit home runs, gained confidence
and removed bothersome hitch in
his swing. Then he was brought
back to the big time with Cincinnati.
Despite the fact that Vince struck
out IL times in IA times at bat dur
ing last years pennant fight, Man.
ager Bill McKechnie still has faith
in him. Now the Oldest Of the
DiMaggios is getting probably his
last chance to make good.
There you have the DiMaggio
family-Joe, king-pin slugger of the
world champion New York Yankees;
Dom, highly touted minor league
star getting his golden opportunity
with the Red Sox; and Vince, whose
big-and undoubtedly last-chance
il with the Reds.
Unquestionably they are the most
widely publicised family in baseball
history. Many authorities hold that
Joe Is . handicap to both Vince
and Dom. They have too big .
pane to live mp to. They just can't
get Joe Of their minds. The num-
Der Of DiMaggios left In big league
baseball viii be determined In the
next few weeks.
Manager McKechnie wouldn't
mind bit II Vince'B last name was
Smith, Jones or Johnson-anything
but DiMasgio. Then the spotlight Of
publicity wouldn't be focused %
sharply upon him.

They also bring out the fact that
Joe Medwick hasn't been any too
happy under the St. Louis setup
for some time. And Ducky Med
wick happens to be one of the best
ball players in either league. He

tials.

Joe Medwick are about the only

Baseball has seen better teams,
but none with so much color. There
was the time when Jimmy Wilson,
the crack Cardinal catcher, began
missing his silk shirts from the lock-

You 60 out to Billy Carey's in body,
but not in spirit. You watch Ted,
rather than watching yourself. You
secretly wish that you were back at
home, where everything is comfort
able, and you and Mother and Ann
have so harmonious a time.
Now, you'll have to make up your
mind to do one thing or another.
One way would be to abandon all
thought of Ted and his friends, as
far as you are personally concerned.
Rejoice that he has good times with
them, and devote yourself complete
ly to Ann and your mother-and,
above all, to yourself. Get some
simple, becoming frocks, do your
hair a new way, read along some
directed line of study or take up a
language; develop your own person.
atty SO that everyone, and Ted in
cluded, will notice a change in you.
A Frightening and quickening; a
new interest in life and a new con-
tent. In other words, don't be nerv-
GUS, suspicious, sensitive, injured
shadow Of Ted. Be a person your
self. That's the way you won him,
and that's the way you'll win him
back. ..
The second course, and to me the
wiser one, would be to suggest to
Ted some day that you 60 with him
when he leaves on Saturday or Sum
day. Go to Billy's, or wherever
else he goes, and instead of sitting
mute and unhappy and ignored in a
corner, pick out some one person in
the group to whom to pay special
attention. Be sure it is neglected
person. Find game you two like
to play. Or, If it is Billy's mother,
who is getting lunch ready for the
crowd, just make yourself quietly
useful, draw her into talk with you:
forget yourself, and especially for
get Ted, as much as you can.
A New Course.
Some years ago a quiet little neg
lected wife on a noisy house party
entered into conversation with the
12-year-old son Of the house, who
was equally overlooked. He had
been given a rather elaborate game
that he didn't understand; she got
him to bring it down, and studied
the rules with him. Presently they
began playing it, and a casual on
locker joined them. The onlooker
was the Ted type, and presently the
group was gathered about watching.
It wasn't much, but it carried the
mousey wife through one evening.
She and the boy had planned q

CONTRARY to rumor, there Is no

include at least one DiMaggio on its

The public anconsciously has been
misled by the frequency with which
the name appears in the public

Of the clan are not numbered by

three Of the former fisher lads now

Joe DiMaggio, veteran Of the

cradle degree of attention when he

The Washington Chapter Of the
Izaak Walton League, whose current
home is rented meeting room In
the Raleigh Hotel, is making plans
to establish permanent headquarters
in cabin or house somewhere along
the Potomac River.
Canal Site Sought.
A special committee appointed to
select a site for q cabin has decided
that the best spot would be some-
where along the canal above George
town on the land recently purchased
and now being cleared by the Ma
tional Park Service. Final plans a.
to how this property is to be ad-
ministered have not been made by
the Park Service, but it Is hoped
that organizations Of the Walton
League type will be able to. lease
property for their activities.
Other chapters in Bethesda CHEVY
Chase, Rockville, Silver Spring and
Alexandria also could make use OF
this cabin for some Of their out
door activities.
If it is possible to obtain the land
the league will make it . conser-
vation showplace for the Nation s
Capital. Rearing ponds for black
bass and other fish will be construct
ed in cooperation with the Bureau
Of Fisheries. It Is probable that
casting activities, now confined Ia
the Lincoln Memorial Pool, will be
transferred to . section OF the canal

Power Boat Registry

Custom House Reports
Reveal 278,847 Croft
On Federal Waters

Numbered motorboats on Federal
waters of the United States in
creased by 3s,797 craft during 1899,
representing a gain of 1916 per cent,
the National Association of Engine
and Boat Manufacturers has an
nounced.
The numbered motorboats, now
registered at 48 custom houses
throughout the country, totaled
278,847 on January / of this year.
Surprising the record increase of
1884 boats in 1888, the IL months
of 1899 again recorded the largest
percentages Of gains in the inland
sectors.
Miscellaneous inland river and
lake ports registered an increase
of % per cent in their registrations,
and the Great Lakes made an almost
20 per cent advance over 1898 with
1885 new craft.
The increase was better than 16
pei cent along the Pacific Coast,
Is per cent along the Gulf of Mex
leo, 9 per cent along the South At
lantic and Z per cent along the
Eastern Seaboard.
New York City led in individual
port registrations with 1908 new
craft. Detroit had a gain of 1898,
Seattle, 2.718; San Francisco, 1887;
Duluth, 2,242; Cleveland, 1900;
Tampa, 1909; st. Louis, 1893; Mo-
bile, l,347; Baltimore, 1881; Phila-
delphia, 1878, and New Or
leans, 1,157.
The manufacturers association
estimates that approximately 10 per
cent of the numbered motorboats
on Federal waters are used for rec
reational purposes. This does not
by any means represent the total
of the count--y,'s pleasure fleet, how
ever, as the Federal figures include
no documented yachts or sailboats,
and none Of the motorboats used
on thousands of State-controlled
inland lakes.
The association estimates that
there are more than 100000 craft
used for recreational purposes In
the United States, the bulk Of the
fleet being made up Of outboards
and other small boats. Outboard
motor production during 1899 ap-
ptoximated 100000 engines. ,

New Academic Slate
Helps Princeton
Go 10 'keepsie
Gives Tiger Crews Time
To Troin for Reeotto;
Coach Likes Outlook

Faculty action in setting the aca-
demic schedule one week ahead and
some hurried financing by alumni
rowing enthusiasts were the factors
which brought about Princeton's de-
cision to row at Poughkeepsie this
year. in 1941 and 1912.
Under the new academic schedule
examinations will be over on Thurs
day, June 7. The rowing squad, in
cluding varsity, junior varsity and
freshman crews, will leave that night
and will be able to get in 10 days of
work on the course.
Only Columbia, which always goes
early to Poughkeepsie, will have the
edge on the Tiger in practice time
on the scene.
Last Short Race on May I8.
Fred Spuhn. the rowing coach,
doesn't expect to be able to practice
much during comprehensive, but
plans to carry on at full speed dur
Ing course examinations. which are
scattered and do not require such
complete concentration.
Princeton, which will row its last
short races in the Carnegie Gun
Regatta May 10, will be somewhat
handicapped in home preparation
for the Poughkeepsie 4-mile varsity
race by the sshortness of the Lake
Carnegie course.
The longest continuous row the
Tigers can get in before they 60 to
Poughkeepsie is 3A miles, from
Washington Road Bridge to King
ston Dam.
Early Practice to Count.
Spuhn believes that the varsity
can get in enough preliminary dis
tance on Lake Carnegie so that it
will be ready to go farther after it
gets to the Hudson.
Arrangements already have been
made for Princeton to put up at
Alumnae House on the Vassar COL
lege campus.
