Because their scout, Heine Groh, was the first to recognize Dom's talent, the New York Giants were the first club to be given a price on him. While the Giants weigh the of- fer, four other clubs have come shopping at the San Francisco Seals stadium, and received Owner Charles Graham’s terms. These are understood to call for a fat cash payment and several players. Joe Di Maggio, also a protege of Graham and his manager, Lefty O'Doul, brought $75,000. | | | SEVERAL G'S FOR G [ ;dwe]]ing Mr. Mutch is to erect on IHhe property. { Mr. Mutch is shop foreman for |the Harri Machine Shop in this city. - ' Joe Werner Féted Mrs. Joe Werner feted ner hus- band last evening with a birthday !dinner at their home on West Twelfth Street.

If it hadn’t been for Walter “the Great” Mails, the youngest of the Di Maggios might now be working in a box factory. Dominic had not gone beyond the sand-lot stage, but the ex-Cleveland pitcher thought he had the stuff and induced him to come to a tryout camp. Despite his thick-lensed glasses, Dom was signed up. He batted .306 in 1937, 307 in 1938 and this sea- son come into his stride. Proud of his protege, Mails ex- plained: “Dominic has more experience now and has put on 22 pounds since 1937.
