PART 3 By MILTON BICHMAN (United Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK on Thumbing through his memories, Marne Joe McCarthy admitted today, "I had no idea how great Joe DiMagglo was going to be.” /manager of the Yanks wen DiMaggio first reported In 1936, easily recalled Joe’s first few days as a big league rookie. “Tony Lazzeri, Frank Crosetti and some of the other follows from the West Coast knew DiMaggio and sort of introduced him around,” McCarthy said. “He did the rest himself.” McCarthy, of course, had heard raving advance reports about the young Pacific Coast League phe nom but, naturally, he wanted to • JE- for himself. tt-IXTRIC.

His swing was; smooth as spring water and even* in those early days he had the con fident poise of a 10-year man. ‘I didn't know how great he was going to be but .1 could tell he had everything,” McCarthy declared. < “He had a wonderful arm, he could hit that long ball for you and he was an excellent base runner. I didn’t have Joe trying to steal be cause of the type club we had, but I imagine he could have been a master of that, too.” Did DiMaggio require much tu toring? McCarthy laughed. "Except for telling him how to play- certain hitters the first year, I rarely had to tell him anything,” he said. “He simply wasn’t the kind of ; player who made mistakes. Oh, ; sure, he’d make the wrong throw on a rare me any- [ one who didn't?—but DiMaggio ■ generally made the right play in- ! stlnctivriy.” DiMaggio was allowed to use his . own judgment on the base paths, j a license granted very few players. “He just seemed to know when ■ to try for that extra base,” Mc- Carthy said, “and when to hold up.” DiMaggio originally came to the Yankees as a right fielder but was moved to center when Ben Chap man was traded to Washington. In : his rookie season, DiMaggio's Coot was severely burned during the '■ spring while undergoing a'diather my treatment. He was out of the lineup until I May 3 but ip his Brat Mg toague game, he pounded his “cousin,” Hflgsett. of the Browns, for a triple and two DiMag posted a 333 batting mark his firat year and then Bit Jd6< against the giants in Use World Series.
