Itionally have fought general sales
taxes.
The dry goods association said

laughing a few seconds earlier

BY the Asseeiaied Press

BALTIMORE, June 26.-Jimmy
Kennedy. II. will have some good
news to tell Joe DiMaggio tonight
in Washington.
Jimmy is going over to the
Washington- New York game to
renew his acquaintance with Joe.
Their friendship started in a

stars visited him while Jimmy was
a patient with a serious stomach

-Four years ago his family moved
to Baltimore where Johns Hopkins
doctors finally cured him. Jimmy

the Baltimore Cub League with a
record of six victories and two
defeats.
But where does Jimmy want to
play in the major leagues?
The Boston Red Sox, no less.
