Dl Mag' isn't taking chances on faltering or missing fire when he tried to pick up his New York Yankee career where he left off after the world scries of 1942. He saw Hank Greenbcrg hob ble around the outfield and watched Cecil Travis bend his aching back for a grass-cutter that he never touched and he decided that was not for him. Every day you'll find the Yan kee clipper at the New York Athletic club using all the gum machines and gadgets, working like he never worked before. He is putting on a "winter" train ing routine that makes the old spring training romps look ri diculous in comparison. "After watching some of the other fellows last fall at the Yankee stadium I told myself I would undergo as tough a train ing schedule as I could stand," said Joe. "That means about three 'weeks here, two weeks more on my own in Florida and then a start with the early birds at St. Petersburg." DiMaeeio has little doubt of his ability to regain his former sharpness, pointing out he was used to stepping into the lineup ai me last . minutes. Flaying games a week or so after his con tract trouble had been signed. Bui ne is taxing no cnances. Both Teams Of Sun Bowlers Have Jitters EL PASO. Tex..
