.DiMuggio Only Player
TO Reject 100 Grand

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA, MAR. g.
Joe DiMaggio, grayer and perhaps a little
leaner than in his glory days. no longer
holds the distinction of being the only
Yankee ever to command 100000 salary.
This he must share now with Mickey
Mantle, but DiMag is far from running out
of distinctions. For example, Mantle has
yet to refuse 100000 contract. DiMag
did.
The old Yankee Clipper, who for room,
board and Aud Lang syne is helping Man
ager Ralph Houk and his coaching staff,
has got TO go down as one Of the real
honest, conscientious guys. He signed three
successive contracts Cl949-l95O-D calling
for 100000 each and turned down fourth
in 1882.
Il felt I'd had It," DiMag said in the
Yankee clubhouse as he slipped vegetable

to end my career in a washed-up note.
1t wasn't easy to say no."
Joe had decided TO quit after the 81
World Series He visited Co-Owner Dan
Topping in his office to announce his
retirement.
Il WANTED TO TELL Mr.. Topping to
start getting q new boy ready" Joe remi-
nisced. He made II tough for me. He
offered me the same contract.
Thanks, but no. I told him.

Mr.. Topping said. How does that figure

Look Mr.. Topping told me. I know
you're going TO Japan for six weeks. Don't
say no, right now. Wait until you return
and talk 10 me again.
Il went 10 Japan and kept the date
with Mr.. Topping six or seven weeks later.
But my answer was the same-no thanks"
DiMaggio is a proud man and class
guy He had batted only 263 that season,
with a mere dozen home runs. Joe had
no intention Of blemishing career record
so distinguished that in 1855 1t entitled him
TO be enshrined In the Hall OF Fame, where

Hidden Anxiety
 When the baby fell asleep, mo- ther again went out. Before she left, she told me to tell my uncle and his family that my father had not yet come home. She also told me to notify two other men who were my fathers close friends.
 When I went out to notify the men, I looked toward our house and saw mother walking toward the north bank, a lonely figure in the dimneSs of the night.
 When l returned home, mother was just back from the bank. Did you see father?" I asked anxiously. "Nahqa (No), but he will be com ing soon," she treasured.
 Search Party
 The men I had notified came in one by one in succession. One of them asked for lantern Two of them went out on the ice to try to spot father while the man with the lantern went on top of a high pressure ridge and placed the lan- tern there so father would see it if he was coming home. If father came back the lantern man was to swing the light from side to side signalling fathers homecoming.
 It was getting far too late now. Tension was growing in our little home. Mother was visibly calm but one could sense the turmoil she was going through. She was now going out more frequently staying long enough in the house to get warm One of those times she again walk ed to the north bank and was gone for lengthy period.
 Unexpected Direction
 Presently, my sister and I heard a untitled voice outside of the house and we went out. I was the first and when I emerged I could see mother running toward the south. Beyond her was someone coming toward our house. When they came together, they seemed to embrace and then came on to- ward home in a hurry. I ran to- ward them. Father had come home!
 At the entrance father disengag- ed the drag line around his should CTS on which was fastened seal. Mother hurried him into the house. My father kept saying, "They're al- right My feet are alright"
 Feet Unharmed
 When we entered the house, I saw the reason for my mothers anxiety. Fathers mukluks were frozen to the leggings over his knees. They were impossible to pull off Mother took her sharp ulu (womens knife) and began to slash the mukluks down the sides and took them off. When she pulled the caribou socks off, she was satis- fled. Fathers feet were in good shape. They were not frozen.
 As my mother worked frantic

ally WlIn 1dtnefS S muklukS, l nOtlc- ed that her eyes were little swol- len and red. She had wept when she heard father calling, "Keshorna - keShorna, I'm here, I'm homei" The tension and the relief upon fathers return had been too great.
 My sister and I brought the seal into the house. It was quite frozen but mother started cutting the skin off at once. My anticipation of suf- flclent meals was pleasant but was to be somewhat frustrated with the result of the cutting up of the seal.
 That morning when father left to go hunting, he had made up his mind if conditions seemed right he would make dash beyond the danger zone to get seals. T didn't want to see all of you hungry" he volunteered an excuse.
 When he reached the edge of the danger zone there was, as usual, no open water. This had been great disappointment for long time now for the hunters of the village. Father walked to lofty pressure ridge not far away, climbed it and trained his telescope seaward. As he scanned southward he saw a rather small open water with tiny dots of moving objects in it. It was teeming with seals!
 He began to worry because the seals location was about two and a half to three miles out from the cleavage or the danger zone. Never theless, he made up his mind to make dash there Conditions seem- ed right. There was hardly any wind but it was cold. The Dash
 He set out toward open water as fast as he could make it. When he reached it at last he was amazed to see dozens of seals swimming in it. He sneaked close to them and quickly shot two. The dead seals floated. He got his heaving line out of his pack sack and hooked the seals in.
 He attached them to his drag line and started shoreward at once.
 Alarming Sign
 As he labored on with all the speed he could make, he noticed a tell-tale darkish gray steam rising ahead of him. OPEN WATER! Father felt terrible sinking feel ing within him.
 Perhaps it is narrow lead and I can easily get across it," he thought.
 Clean Break
 When he came upon the lead he was appalled, to see that it was around 75 yards wide. He began to look around frantically for an ice raft. He found a large one that was too big to handle. He was further appalled, that the ice had broken clean without hardly any broken pieces of ice.
 He saw one that might do quite

distance to the south. He dragged his seals to it and found that it was small. Would it float him? He tested it. It just did float him and the Waterline was about half inch from the surface of the ice.
 Hazardous Crossing
 He got off carefully and then eased the two seals into the water, adjusted the loop of his drag line around his shoulders and carefully boarded the tiny ice raft.
 He noticed that the cold tempera- ture had started to freeze the sur face of the water. Using his icepick rod as paddle, he set out toward the shore ice. He made good pro gress for the first hundred feet and then he noticed something that made his heart sink. The thin ice on the surface was collecting on his raft when it took on water. The more of this slush collected, the lower his raft sank in the water. It was impossible to keep the little raft on an even keel as he padded it.
 Progress Slowed
 When he was about midway on the lead, the slushy water was ankle deep in his raft. He tried to brush it off with his icepick rod It helped a little but as he went slowly forward, more of it col lected. AS he sank lower, he mo- ticed that his forward motion had reduced alarmingly. Something had to be done.
 He reached behind carefully and pulled the floating seals to his right side, pulled his knife out and cut off the line on the hindmost seal
 Precarious Balance
 He resumed his paddling Soor the slush water was calf deep. Wher he brushed some of it off he noticed the front of his raft tended to float up. Balancing on it was also getting precarious. He made fair progress after cutting off one of the seals. When he was about 25 feet from the shore ice he was almost knee deep in the water His lower legs began to get very cold. The water was now an inch and a half from the top of his waterproof muklukS The draw strings at the top of them were quite tight and would help keep the water out if the water reached that high.
 Almost There
 When he was about 12 feet from the shore ice, he felt some trickles of extremely cold water running down his calves. They felt like hot needles against his skin.
 The shore ice was now 8 feet away! He took his icepick rod by the pick end and reached for the shore ice. The hook caught just enough so he could pull himself forward. He eased himself very slowly to the ice It was now with in reach!

 These conditions, which can last Tor weeks or even months, forum ately are rare. But when they per- slst they can become disastrous or near disastrous.
 Lean Years
 In the early 1929's such a condi- ton existed at the village of Point Hope in Northwestern Alaska. The economy of the natives there had not been good for many, many years previous to that date. This was due to poor whaling takes" in those years probably springing from the drastic reduction of the bowhead whale herd as a result of the mas slve hunt for them by fleets of whaling ships during the latter part of the 18OO's
 When weather improved, hunters of Point Hope went out but came pack empty handed. Now and then seal would be caught. The meag- CT catches were not enough to sus- tain the economy of the village. Food supplies became lower and lower day by day. Rationing of food was the order of the day. Some families began to go hungry.
 Danger Zone
 Many hunters, including my fa- 'ther, would report that far out miles and miles from the village could be seen by telescope, multi tudes of seals in open leads but they were beyond the danger zone To go beyond this danger line was almost suicidal for any hunter. If they did chance it, it was almost certain the ice would break be- tween them and the village and they would be carried out to sea. Many hunters had been lost in the past who tried to go beyond it.
 At our house our family began to feel the shortage of food as did other families of the village. Teams of dogs became lean.
 ~ The Hunt
 aOne morning, after a meager breakfast father went hunting. Lately, he had mentioned seeing great many seals with his tele- scope.
 There are so many of them they are like a school Of tom cod" he told mother.
 Mother, knowing that he was toy Ing with the idea of going out there and knowing the risk was great sad to him, Tt would be foolhardy Tor you to go out there. Hunting should improve very shortly.'
 The time of the year was March. The weather was cold; the tenn perature was around 30 or 35 be- low zero.
 When father went hunting he almost always, came home just be- fore dark. At that time each day. mother would ask me or my older Sister to go out to see if father was approaching. When we saw that he had caught seal or a polar bear. we would run to him and help him pull the animal home.
 ,.l- s.' =. The Vigil

 It was growing dark outside. Mother began to go out herself to scan the north bank. When she came in she told my sister to take care of our little sister who was a A-IA II
