Joe's only 34 and I honestly think he could eo on for 10 more years. But with the heel business, I just don't know. We're all hoping IT clears. They say !rest will do it." DiMaggio first developed heel trouble on his left foot in 194G, his first season back after three years in the Army. In January ot 1947 he underwent an operation at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti more for removal of a bone spur. He missed spring training. Then he had the heel cut open again, lie j had a total of 40 stitches in the rear , of the left foot. Last season DiMaggio still favored the left foot. As a re sult he developed, heel trouble on his right foot." In November he went to Baltimore for an other operation, this time on the right heel. Twenty stitches were required. Joe now has more stitches in his heels than a regu lation basebaU. During spring training he played only 43 inn)ngs and made flying visits to Baltimore from St. Peters burg and Fort Worth. "Immature calcium deposits in tissues ad jacent to the heelbone," is the way the doctors described his latest trouble. DiMaggio. who has missed seven opening day games in his 11 years with the Yankees, This is 'it; l ft I Si ? rest and diathermy treatments have been ordered in hopes that he will again play regularly. "They gave me six diathermy treatments but only one needle during my recejil trip, to , Balti more," he says. "But it. was a needle! they left the,, darn thing in about a half, hour." DiMaggio makes AcViilles seem like a piker. The Greek warrior, invulnerable except in his right heel, was killed when they shot an arrow into that spot. Into Di Maggio's heel they shot a lot of novocaine. And the Yankees are paying DiMaggio $100,000 this season. Achilles never got any money like that. About one-fifth of all cultivated acres in the United States are now says in legumes. ry Brooder, A chick capacity M 2 PUBLICATION fclOR COURT tiA, !TY, ITrybjqi Tigers Capture B;-B; GqW .

Safe Tough, So Burglers Settle For Soda Pop CAMDEN, N. J. (UP) Burglars evidently worked up a thirst in their efforts to force a large safe in .a' wire stitching company office here. Almost every tool was available to them but when the foreman of the plant arrived for work the fol lowing morning, he found the safe "battered but unbowed'. Strewn around the floor in front of the safe were crowbars, hammers, wrenches and several other tools, including a large electric drill which the burglars had not been able to use because they could not find an electric outlet. They turned their attention to a soft drink machine then. The dis penser was forced and six bottles were missing.

One of the most popular players ,,n the snuail Sisti is eettintf a chance to take the second base job away from the veteran luiaie sian ky. That's a pretty fair break for a fellow who bunted into a double play that crushed the Brave's final hbpes last October.

Nobody was tq mention the bunt. They were try ing to save Sibby from embarrass ment. Sisti wouldn't have it that way. When he was asked to say a wprd, he seized the mike and spoke from the heart. "I didn't choke up there in that last game,'' he said. 'What was the longest walk I ever took from home plate to the dugout. As I came back the boys said 'Keep your chin up, Sibby.' "After Tommy Holmes flied out to end the series, 1 wish I could have been in a dark closet. The boys Mine over to say again, 'Keep your chin up Sibby.' "You know, I've always had two ambitions. First I wanted to be the most valuable player. Second, I wanted to be the hero of a World Series. 1 guess I haven't much chance of even being most valuable with fellows like Johnny Sain, Stan ivhisial and Ralph Kiner around. "I only hope the Braves win the pennant next year and the good Lord gives me another chance. That will give me a chance to come back here as a hero and not as a bust."
