Joe DiMaggio on Ground After Suffering Injury

(Original Caption) Joe DiMaggio, shining star of the New York Yankees baseball team, is shown here surrounded by teammates and opponents after he had injured his right leg in a spectacular slide into second base after his ninth inning double during the preseason game between the Yanks and Brooklyn Dodgers. An injury that would put him out of play for the rest of the season might mean a loss of a half million dollars to the Yankees. Third base coach Art Fletcher braces DiMaggio's shoulder as trainer Erle Painter inspects the leg. Incidentally, the Yanks won the game.
