DiMaggio Contract Hints 25 000 This Season and 50 000 Peak
Joe DiMaggio is tipped to sign about 25 000 for the upcoming season with a path to 50 000 in three years via the Yankees. Club officials insist no deal has been made and deny a San Francisco report of a 1938 contract. Analysts note Ruth’s high pay in later years and expect tight Yankee control on DiMaggio’s earnings.
