Yanks Sign Di Maggie
AT Figure Believed
Close 10 $4,000
By the Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Joe Di Mag
gio Of the Yankees announced today
that he had signed contract for
the coming season which made him
very happy" and q consensus Of
those who heard the great CENTER
fielder express his pleasure placed
the amount OF his stipend ut close
to $4,000.
Neither Di Maggie nor George
Weiss. general manager Of the
Yanks, would even hint at the sum,
but Weiss conceded that It ZAP
preached the $75,000 believed to
have been paid Ted Williams last
season by the Boston Red Sox. Di
Maggie, voted the most valuable
player In the American League last
year, disclosed that he received $43,-
750 In each of his last three playing
years.
A salary of SIC, 1000 would place the
Yankee star possibly third among
baseball's highest paid performers,
topped only by Bobby Feller Of
Cleveland and Williams. Hank
Greenberg was reputed to have made
$50, 900 with Pittsburgh last season,
but has since been RELEASED by the
pirates.
Respected as Is his batting ability,
Di Maggie is equally well known as
q stylish fielder. He led all regu-
lar outflielders last year with an
average of .997, having made only
one error. He made Sl6 putouts,
but only two assists-the reason for
the low figure being that few base
runners would take any chances
with his rifle-like throws.
The signing of Di Maggie follows
by only few hours the signing
of another Yankee star, Tommy
Heinrich, another hard-hitting out
fielder.
Bringing both these stars to
terms 50 early in the winter defies
baseball precedent. Usually after
team wins q world championship
there Is q considerable period of
pickering, with the athletes hold
ing out for high salaries.
Whether the signing of Di Maggie
and Heinrich reflects an even more
liberal salary policy than that pur-
sued by Weiss predecessor, Col.
L. S. MacPhail, was matter of
conjecture.
Di Maggie underwent an opera
ton at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, November II. for re-
moval Of small bone chip from his
right elbow. He was troubled by
sore arm all last season, but kept
it a secret until after the World
Series.

Eligibility Agreement
With Baseball IsAim
OF College Coaches
ky the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-With several
hundred college coaches and ath-
letic officials already on hand and
others arriving hourly, baseball,
track and football mentors began
meetings today preliminary to the
43d annual convention of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion.
The Executive Committee Of the
NCAA, which will vote on amend
ments to it's sanity code" for college
athletics the latter part Of the week,
is scheduled to hold its first session
tomorrow.
Meanwhile, however, members of
the American Association of Base
ball Coaches got together with one
of the items high on the agenda
being recommendations for a con-
trolled eligibility agreement with
organized baseball. ->
Plans for second NCAA-spon-
sored baseball tournament also will
be on the program. The first tour
ney of this group was held at Mich
igan State College last summer.
Uniform procedure regarding COL
legiate track operations in the Ma
tions colleges will be up for discus
sion at meeting of the National
Collegiate Track Coaches Associa-
tion.
Members of the American Foot
ball Coaches Association will open
their sessions with a rules meeting
tomorrow. The football coaches
meetings will continue through
Thursday and conclude with the
joint NCAA-College Physical Edu-
cation Association session Friday.
Among items expected to be dis
cussed by the football coaches are
the substitution rule, suggestions
that the extra point be eliminated,
allowing either team to advance a
loose ball and clarifying a few rules.

champion, Day said. Each OF them
has a beautiful game and would
need only few breaks to 60 all the
way. AS for any girl beating out
Louise Suggs of Atlanta for the
women's title, I hesitate to say. That
little girl is really great - really
great"
Dey considers the mems Open
such wide-open event, with doz-
ems of top professionals having al
most equal ability, that he couldn't
hazard a guess as to the winner.
However, he did point out with some
significance that Bobby Locke, the
terror from. South Africa, will be
in there cunning for the big cup
again. He also expects Norman
van Nida, the Australian champ,
to give it a whirl at Los Angeles.
Difference in Clubs.
Dey who. like most of the USGA
officials, Is something OF an idealist,
sees no prospect whatever of get
ting together with the Professional
Golfers Association on the number
of clubs a player may carry. The
pros permit 16 weapons, the USGA
only IA. Also, the USGA, which
conducts the Open, is much more
strict about the scoring of iron
clubs than the PGA.
"As we see it," Dey said, "our duty
is to the great bulk of the Ma
tons golfers, not to the compar-
atively small band of crack players
who compete around the country
on the so-called money circuit. II
we are to agree, they will have to
come to us. AS things stand now
and we might as we'll face 1.-TWO
entirely kinds Of golf are being
played in this country"
Dey has high hopes that the
USGA's newly announced system for
grading" golf courses for the pur-
pose of arriving at uniform handi-
caps for players throughout the
country will eventually result in
a general revision of the posted pars
of the Nations courses.
For the present." he said, I'VE
are suggesting that the plan be
used only for the purpose of arriv-
ing at uniform handicapping. Scores
of clubs already are writing and
wiring us for our booklet explain
ing the system.
"It is possible that many clubs
will discover that the actual par
for their course Is, say, closer to
10 strokes than the listed par of u

"At present we are only % men,

because of the obvious Nation
wide interest in the game we are
scattering our championship events
next summer as never before. The
Open and Women's Championships
will be played in California, the
Amateur in Memphis and the Pub
lie Links in Atlanta. The East,
once the capital of the game. will
not see a single national title event.
"At our annual meeting here jan
uary 10 a motion will be submitted
to form a new associate class OF
membership for courses not now
eligible to receive the benefits sup
piled by the USGA. There are
about 1000 such courses, including
those belonging to colleges and in
dustrial organizations. The asso-
ciate memberships would entitle
their members to everything except
the right to vote and to play in the
amateur championship"
Asked to try to pick the youthful
amateur player most likely to vault
to the championship next summer
at Memphis, Dey insisted on being
given more than one guess. His
choices boiled down to four young
Californians-Bob Gardner, Bobby
Rosburg, H. Mac Hunter (son OF the
famous Willie), Jack Bariteau-and
Harvie Ward, jr., Of Rocky Mount
