JOE SIGNS CONTRACT

Joe DiMaggio, left, stellar slugger and outfielder of the Yankees, comes to grips, finally, with the Yankee boss, Col. Jacob Ruppert, right. There's $25,000 in the handclasp, for it was the finale of Joe's 1938 contract signing on April 25, 1938, in New York. It ended Joe's long holdout for $40,000. The beaming face above the pair belongs to Ed Barrow, Yankee secretary. (AP Photo)/stf)
