SPORTS TYPE By STEVE JONESCU Sports Editor 15 INJURY T0 BLAIIIBR On his first trip to the plate in the 1960 American ague season alltime great Ted Williams slugged home run It was his only hit in four trips to the plate The next day Williams went to the plate the same number of times and belted another homer It was his only hit that day too Then came groin injury Ted hasnt appeared in the lineup other than in pinchhitting role since As pinchbatter hes been less than sensational In fact he hgsnt done thing lwice last week in such roles he went down on strikes Thursday with the Red Box having man on every base Teds slow roller caused the runner from third to be forced out at the plate The question is now Can the injury be blamed for Teds horrible failure at the plate Has the man called the Splendid Splinter finally come to the end of the line as suggested by his low 200 batting average last summer It would seem so History seems to have proven that fellows his age 40 cant play regularly and main taln high average The past few seasons at least we dont pretend to be an oldtimer indicate that players 85 and up star in utility roles only Prime examples would be Chicago White sex fine reliefers Turk Lown and Gerry staley Theyre count ed on to pitch but few innings per game Dave Philley onetime average player is still in the majors as one of the games great clutch hitters He doesnt but more than 100 times per season Veteran catcher Clyde McCullough was recalled to the big time this season at an age when he should never think of coming back However McCullough wont see action behind the plate in 25 games Just the same his experience will help get his club out of lot of holes Enos Slaughter one oi the greats of St ouls Car dinals as far back as 20 years ago moved around the American League as top rate spot performer few years ago Bob Elliott onetime Boston Braves star stayed In the league as utility player Willie Puddinhead Jones of the Philly Whiz Kids Han Sauer of the Cubs and Giants and recently elevated Rocky Nel son have given life to their playing days by assum ing utility rclcs None of the players with the possible exception of Slaughter who had different attitude towards the game attained the heights that Williams has It wont surprise us one bit if he Should announce his retirement before too long JUST NOTES Torgis Automotive of the Barrie and
