Belleve It or Not – Joe DiMaggio Found Some Pitchers Hard to Tag NEW YORK (AP)—Joe DiMaggio looked back over his 15 years in the major leagues today and named five pitchers who haunted him more than any others. The "Big Five" whom the retired Yankee Clipper acknowledged he's happy to be rid of are Mel Harder and Bob Lemon, Cleveland; Dizzy Trout and Art Housman, Detroit, and Ellis Kinder, Boston Red Sox. "There are many others who were tough and they seemed to get tougher for me as the years went by." DiMaggio said. "But these five fellows caused me the most trouble." "I can't explain it. They all had a lot of stuff. They just had my number, I guess."

All the losses were by two-point margins, and USC scored two of them. The outstanding stars are forward Jerry Norman for UCLA and center Bob Boyd for Coach Forrest Twogood at USC. If You Drink!

He limbered up with a half-mile at 48 2/3, and ran out to ½ mile in 1:01 3/3 galloping, with Eddie Arcaro up. Trainer Casey Hayes had predicted earlier that his big Virginia champion would do all right, and the workout appeared to mean that he not only will run in the handicap, but will be the individual favorite to draw down the guaranteed Hundred Grand. Humors earlier this week said the Prince had a swollen foreleg.

Only the Chicago White Sox in the American can make the same boast.

Rizzuto is expected to agree to terms calling for an estimated $45,000 today at St. Petersburg, Fla. Brown is expecting a call any day from the Army. The Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Browns and Cleveland Indians each have two unsigned players and the Washington Senators one. Infielder Jerry Priddy and pitcher Hal Newhouser haven't agreed to Tiger terms. Priddy reportedly has been asked to take a $5000 to $7000 cut from his 1951 pay of $32,000.

Avila has delayed porting because of Mexican port troubles and is believed having out for $20,000. 2 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1933 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA ON THE LAM with Jim Lamhofer The most publicized item on the PCC Southern Division basketball front this past week has been the comments of SC Coach Forrest Twogood on the stall Stanford pulled to good advantage in two-timing the Trojans at Palo Alto last Friday and Saturday. Twogood should have to worry any more this year about seeing a recurrence of such opposition tactics. Tonight and tomorrow night his underlings face UCLA in what should be the final two games of the SC season. To qualify for any first-place tie and winning playoff, the Trojans will have to take both tundra, and then pray for a split in the Cal-Stanford series up north. As for the bugaboo of stalling which helped beat the SCers at Stanford, Twogood need have no fear of the Bruins resorting to such strategy. It is doubtful if the speedy UClans could slow their fast-break down long enough to keep the ball out near the half-court line. Stanford, on the other hand, was beaten by SC twice at the Pan-Pacific earlier in the season because the Trojans were out-hustling and out-bounding the languid Indians. So when Bob Burnett got Troy on his own floor, he had his men tensive SC forwards sat down on the hardwood and read newspapers passed out to them to keep them occupied until the time ran but. But Stanford proved last weekend that the stall could still work in basketball if the defending team is stubborn, too, and refuses to go out after the ball. But tonight and tomorrow night the Twogood forces had best worry not about how to break up any freezes, but how to halt plain old-fashioned scoring on the part of a pretty good UCLA ball club.

Both local players will assume the role of underdog as they tackle some of the highest ranking netters in the highly talented Southern California veteran's division. Brandon meets Carl Busch of Puramount in a quarter-final singles encounter. Busch was ranked seventh in official ratings which were released last week. Tex Middleton teams with Fred Fuller of Fullerton in a veteran's doubles match against John Sisson and John Woodall of Los Angeles. Sisson and Woodall hold a second and fourth ranking respectively for Southern California. Finals in all events which include veteran's singles and doubles, open men's doubles, and open mixed doubles will be concluded on Sunday. On Wednesday Mary Flynn, secretary of the Anaheim Tennis club, and Melva Williams of the Anaheim Recreation department, represented these two organizations in Southgate when approximately 10 members and tennis managers of the Mid-Cities Tennis leagues set to set up schedules for the spring series beginning March 16. Anaheim for the first time is entering both a C and D team in the league which features inter-city play on Sunday in men's and women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. Because of the speedy OCians could slow their fast-break down long enough to keep the ball out near the half-court line. Stanford, on the other hand, was beaten by SC twice at the Pan-Pacific earlier in the season because the Trojans were out-hustling and out-bounding the languid Indians. "So when Bob Burnett got Troy on his own floor, he had his men go all-out for as long as they were in shape to, about one quarter's time in the first half, and then be cute and make the desperate Trojan come out after the ball for the rest of the time both nights. It was a bad weekend all around for the likeable Twogood. The agonizing Stanford freeze and double defeats were bad enough, but then he became involved in near-fistfuls with Tribal trainer Connie Jarvis after Saturday night's fray. Consequently Twogood was in a mood to vent his wrath when he returned from the North. He opened that the "big stall" Stanford used was not real basketball and was not in keeping with the spirit of the game. However the record books prove that Trojan teams of yesterday, under the late Sum Barry, were past masters at the art of playing keepaway with the casab.
