Show H. I. PHILLIPS A Letter of Sympathy Dear Joe DIMaggio: Well, a few days ago I saw in the papers that the Yanks have decided to pay you $65,000 to $70,000 this year, and it is too bad that a thing like that has to happen to a nice guy like you. For the last couple of years yon had a tough time with chipped elbows and heels, and Just when yon got a right to hope you are out of pain and worry they ram you up into them upper Income tax brackets. brack-ets. From now on yon will know what real suffering Is like, Joe, and if I were you I would not let them Yanks do this to me. I would see a lawyer and make an appeal. For years you were one of the most underpaid boys in baseball but it was nice and cozy down there. Now you go up where the state and government really start running the vacuum over you and you will find that none of them Johns Hopkins or Mayo clinic fellers can do a thing about it, no matter how good they may be with heels and elbows. |
