Unclear Chicago pickpocket and badge snatching case
A Chicago pickpocket fled with a purse and Police badge from a policewoman. The report notes odd money matters and Uncle Sam’s tax bite on baseball earnings, citing Joe DiMaggio’s World Series share around $850 and Ralph Houk’s approx $4,000 take-home, with DiMaggio’s $100,000 salary bearing about 87 percent tax.
