Joe Dimaggio was at first base
for the Yankees today with a
solemn promise to give his new
Job the old college try.
"There are two ways to play
first base," DiMaggio said, "the
old man's way and the right way.
I'll play it the right way."
Thus did the 33-year-old Di
Maggio turn his back on the out
field, a place where he starred
for the Yankees for 12 seasons.
"I'm giving up a pretty good
Job," he cracked, "but I'll give
it everything I have at first base.
Something had to be done so I
said I'd try it."

Tradition Says
Detroit to Win
'American' Flag
New York, July 3 (U.R If
tradition holds true the Detroit
Tigers are going to win the
American league pennant, be
cause they were sure today of
being in first place on the July
4 holiday milestone.
But if tradition fails, the
Cleveland Indians have an ele
gant chance for revenge.
The axiom that the team in
first place on July 4 will win
the pennant has held true in
the American league for the last
nine seasons.
Oddly enough the last time
it failed was in 1940 hen Cleve
land led on the holiday, yet De
troit came roaring on in the
.stretch to beat Manager Oscar
Vitt s famous cry babies."
There were rumblings during
the week-end that the Indians
might make 1950 the first excep
tion in a decade when they kept
up their recent terrific pace by
winning three game out of foiit
with the Tigers.
PCC and TV
Talk It Over
San Francisco. July 3 (U.R)
Television executives and Pa
cific Coast conference directors
scheduled another meeting to
day to discuss televising PCC
football games this fall.
The directors yesterday gave
the television interests a list of
minimum attendance required
at each PCC game. If a tele
vised game fails to draw the
minimum, station owners would
have to make up the difference
; in cash
The television executives
were to give their answer to the
plan today. If they agree, all
conference football games in
Seattle, the San Francisco bay
and Los Angeles areas will be
televised.
