DiMaggio
Pedals To
Comeback
NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (P) Joe
DIMuggio is pedaling like mad
on a stationary bicycle, pound
ing his leg muscles into shape
for the grind ahead in a pre
lude to one of the most interest
ing comeback attempts of 1946.
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.
