Page Declares Arm
In Great Shape as
He Signs al $4,000
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Joe Page
has signed his 1851 contract and
says he's set to regain top form
as relief pitcher with the
Yankees this year. If he follows
a hop-scotch pattern of previous
years he's due for a big season.
The big lefthander, the 10th
Yankee to come to terms, had a
1913 record for Manager Bucky
Harris in 1947. The fact that
Page slumped to 7-8 in 194e
chiefly was responsible for the
Yankees missing the pennant in
the final week of the campaign
when Harris also lost his job.
Page bounced back with a 1873
record in 1949, but last season Joe
won only 8 and lost Z. Now he
figures the pendulum is due to
swing back, and he has a feeling
there's a rise upcoming on his
roller-coaster record. -
I'm not worrying about 1851
declared Joe. who succumbed tc
the persuasion of Roy Hamey. as
sistant general manager, yester-
day at Naugatuck. Conn. my
arm is in great shape and I'm very
happy over the contract"

win in the 10th, but he failed.

second lowest in the 41-year his
tory of the tournament. A 1888
