Mother DiMaggio Dies Yesterday SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Mrs. Rose DiMaggio, an Italian immigrant, who gave baseball three major league players, will be buried Thursday. The 72-year-old widow died yesterday morning shortly after her son Joe of the New York Yankees flew in from the east. Dom, outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, arrived after the death. Three other sons, including her eldest, former major leaguer Vince, and four daughters were at the bedside at her death. She had been ill for the past six months. Mrs. DiMaggio knew baseball as well as her famous sons. Though she spoke English with difficulty, she could instantly quote the batting average of all three. It was largely through her pleading and encouragement that the boys went into the majors. Joe DiMaggio Sr., a fisherman until his death, called baseball a "bum's game." He thought the boys should make their living off the sea. Masterson 5 STOLEN BASES Herbel Steinborn Hatfield EXTRA BASE HITS Bishop—1 home run, 2 triples. Roberts—1 triple, 1 double.
