nothing morewban stand the New York Yankees on their ears This Just isnt done inthe AL especially tblsyear But Bowsfield who respects the opposition Just so much knocked the Bombers down afew pegs lt Bowstields two triumphs over thesuregtiie pennant winners have made real hero in Bostongnod for that matter most every city in the lengie um MN ran However Bowsneld regardlesslinwwell he pitches the rest at his Boston career will never match the play or attraction value of Ted Williams Alf Shepherd foreman of the priiiting shop at The Examiner was down to New York ameek and half ago and had the privilegeof watching the Bosox and the Yanks go at it lt gt One game Williams didnt start due to an injured wrist Late in the game with the Bombers several runs aheadl the Boson rallied to load the bases Everyone in the building saysShep knew what was forthcoming And much to their delight The Splendid Splinter strolled out of the dugout and up to the plate Afterwarlching couple sail right down the middle Wililams picked the one he wanted and blasted bulletlike single that scored coupleof runs The crowd went wild They were cheer the big guy just as they do in every ball park Last Suiidny Williams showed his defiance or superiority the Bombers again It was just few days before his 40thl1irtMny and the husky great had ii perfect day at the plate going Mord Williams batting feats day in and day out are more spebacular for the simple reason that the man is gettingold basebaiiwise Be cause of his outstanding feats every day Ted is rarely given his du credit in the newspapers gt There Isnt another player in any of the two major leagues whois as old as Ted and still plays regularly on surel There are about éflothers who can equal or better his age but they dont play every ay Possibly the most publicized oldtimer in the major leagues is Enos Country Slaughter the former Gashouser ofthe Cardinals in the National League and now of the Yankees slaughter couple years Teds senior has been to bat less than 100 times for the Stcngelese Yet almost every time hesteps to the plate he gets ink on this isnt bad Slaughter is still quite ball player buLhe never was Ted Williams llllckey Vernon of the Cleveland Indians is anotherold leila whos been stealing some of the headlines But now that Vic Wertz is back in action Mickey Wont see too much action His activity was curtail ed couple of months ago when the Indians acquired hardhitting Vic Power he can first base pfosition Early wynn Sal Magiie Elmer Vale slightly younger Stan MusJ is Marv Grisscm and venerable Warren $pahp are among the other old men making headlines rplhyqlust about anywhere especially Vernous Nearest to Williams in value as far as wéreccncerned is Spahn the Milwaukee Braves 4800 llhe learn lefty is sure bet to win games thissoason For that matter hell be one of the few chuckers in either league that will accomplish the feat But come as tiiey may no pitching fielding or batting event will outdraw the applause given the mighty Williams when he strolls to the plate The guy is magic at the box office Ees untouchable as batter And he helps pay lot of salaries Williamslgfortebis his eyes Despite service in two wars and the fact that he spends lotof time on the water big Tedcsn boast one of the finest pairs of eyes in the world Radio and television story tellers havedevoted full programs to this mans amazing oyuight The day may come when Williams wont be able t0m1k nonchalanh ly to the plate three aridfour times agamei This will only appearances more valuable tOtiie customer and tobasehall Theres onething certain when Ted does quitthc game it wont be as fading star The mans too intelligent toiet that happen When Ted leaves baseball it will be onhis own accord Theres not club owner in the majors that wouldnt want the big guy on his side for at least few gates JUST NOTES visitor to town this past weekend was Jack Killer Kane former Barrie Flyer who played last hockey
