Joe Feels
'Foolish'
Here's Why:
By the Associated Press
How does a guy who has been
labelled “the perfect player" feel
after pulling his first “rock” in a
long and brilliant baseball career?
“Foolish," admitted Joe DiMaggio,
the great outfield star of the New
York Yankees.
For the first time since he came
up to New York in 1936, DiMag
gio felt like digging a huge hole
in Yankee Stadium and diving
into it. The flawless flycliaser
really pulled a dilly last night be
fore 39,681 unbelieving spectators.
Lucky for Him
Fortunately for him, the Yan
kees came on to win—beating the
Detroit Tigers, 5-4—to minimize Di
Maggio's mental lapse. The victory
increased the Yanks’ first-place
margin to 2 U* games over the idle
Cleveland Indians and Boston Red
Sox. It was New York’s 33rd vic
tory in 43 home games.
The score was tied 2-2 when the
Tigers came to bat in the eighth.
Doubles by Gerry Priddy and
George Kell with one out put the
Tigers in front, 3-2. Steve Souchock,
an ex-Yankee, flied deep to DiMag
gio. Kell tagged up and headed lot
third.
DiMaggio made no attempt to
head him off. Instead, he calmly
began to jog toward the Yankee
dugcut with the ball in his right
hand. Dick Barteli, alert Tiger
third base coach, took in the situ
ation at a glance and waved Kell
plateward. Joe finally understood

why li is mates were yelling at
and waving at him. But by then
it was too late. Kell had scored
the second run of the inning.
"I thought it was the third out,”
explained the embarrassed Yankee
•clipper later.
As luck would have it—and luck
the word for it—it was DiMaggio’s
ninth-inning hit that drove in the
winning run for the Yankees. With
runners on first and second and two
out, Joe started to swing at a pitch
by Virgil Trucks, then tried to check
it, and accidentally blooped a single
to right. That brought in Joe Col
.ins with the winning run.
Nationals Busy
While the American League’s ac
tivity was limited to one game, every
team but Brooklyn and Pittsburgh
was active in the National.
An eighth-inning double hy Roy
Smalley drove in the tying and
winning runs as the Chicago Cubs
nipped the New York Giants, 7-6,
in the only game played in day
light. It left the second-place
Giants 9*i games behind Brook
lyn.
A two-run eighth inning rally,
climaxed by Del Rice’s double, gave
the St. Louis Cardinals a 5-4 victory
over the Boston Braves.
Cincinnati’s Reds spotted the
Phils a 5-0 lead and roared back
to win 6-5 on a ninth-inning single
by Bobby Adams and a triple by
Connie Ryan.

Western Airlines
Still Grounded
I LOS ANGELES. July 30 —(If)—A
mechanics' strike which has halted
all operations of Western Airlines
entered its fourth day today with
no immediate sign of settlement.
All of Western's 56 daily flight
schedules have been grounded since
the walkout was called last Friday
by 300 members of the Air Carrier
Mechanics Association.
Pilots and stewardesses have re
fused to cross the picket lines.
The dispute centers around one
principal issue: the union shop
clause. The mechanics are de
manding it and Western refuses to
give in.

You’RE looking at an average American boy
like your own, maybe, or the youngster down the
block. Happy, unspoiled. Still young enough to
hold a mongrel puppy dog in his arms and love it
with all his heart.
Now look closer. At the pistol belt and the field
jacket, the duffle bag and the faded fatigues. This
boy, so like your own, is now a man as well—an
American G.I. Hardly out of his teens but willing
and ready to walk into the steel and fire of com
bat, if need be, to defend your country. And you.
When he’s doing so much, won’t you do some
thing, too?
Remember, defense is your job, as well as his.
And one very important way to do your job is to
buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For it’s your financial
solidity, built up by bond saving, that puts the
strength of America behind our fighting power.
Help your country and yourself! Sign up for
Defense Bonds today—buy them through the
Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the
Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank.
L The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence $
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building cash savings. Money
that will some day buy you a house or educate
your children, or support you when you retire. /
Remember, too, that if you don’t save regularly,
you generally don’t save at all. So go to your
company’s pay office—now—and sign up to
buy Defense Bonds through the Payroll Sav- /
ings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy
than ever. Because now every Series E Bond you
own automatically goes on earning interest
every year for 20 years from date of purchase
instead of 10 as before! This means that the
bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not
just $25—but as much as $33.33! A $37.50
bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your security,
and your country’s, too, buy U. S. Defense
Bonds now!
*U. S. Savings Bonds
are Defense Bonds
Buy them regularly!
