Willie Mays' Salary Upped To $25,000 New York (U.R) Willie Mays' salary was rocketed to $25,000 today as the New York Giants patterned their young su per star's pay increases after the great Joe DiMaggio. The 23-year-oia Mays new contract duplicated the $25,000 pact which DiMaggio received from the New York Yankees in his third year and which served as a springboard toward mak ing him the highest paid player in the game. Manager Leo Dur ocher has said publicly and the Giant officials have predicted privately that Wondrdus Willie some day will match DiMaggio's $100,000 pacts. ; "Willie obviously is going to become one of the game's all- time great stars if he keeps his health so he'll be getting raises from now on," said club Presi dent Horace Stoneham in an nouncing the signing.
