state track meet held recently in

The Blues, who went an teoord

the championship shattered when
a baton was dropped in the sprint

LIVING * SPORTS
BY CHARLES J. LIVINGSTON
WILLIE MAKS, THE
MAGNinCIENT
CHICAGO (ANP)—'Willie Mays
is a superlative ballplayer!
The San Francisco center fielder
does everything in an extrordinary
or sensational manner. Even when
(he is batting, fielding or running
below his own high standards, he
is an exciting player.
Defensively, Willie, the Mag
nlficlent, la always a couple of
stops ahead of opposing base
runners. His waist-high, basket
style catching puts him in
position to throw immediately
and gives Mm a split-second
advantage ever the runners. By
contrast, the player who eatohea
the ball shoulder high must
first pull H before throwtag.
This gives the base runner an
extra step ea him, and the mar
gin he com times needs at the
Plata, or at third bam. er
second.
All things considered, however, the
quality which really makes Mays
sensational it his constant capacity
to do tha superlative. And this
brings up the question of his capa
city for rewriting the major league
record book this season.
Mays is off to a tremendous start
this season, to say tha least. As of
Wednesday, May 13th. he was lac
ing the ball at the prodigious aver
age of .478 for the 43 hits he had
collected for hie 90 times at bat in
22 games. He had blasted 13 home
runs, driven in 34 runs, and scored
27 runs. And he was the major
ICSgue leader in every major cate
gory.
Mays great momentum, particu
larly in the hitting department,
has raisad a flock of speculations.
Some baseball experts art saying
he might well set a new home run
record, and even hit more than 100
round trippers tor the season. (The
currant record is 61, h«ld by Roger
year through graduation. They
are: Ctmries Copeland, Horace Ro
binson, Walter Ellis, and Prank
Turner. The other members of the
squard an: Larry Spense, Charles
Stewart. Harold Kay, Isiaah Mes

Sanders and Ifank Turner.
and he two-putted to gain the indi
vidual title.
Winston-Salem State, playing Ms
home course, racked up their sixth
straight team championship. The
Rams' aggregate total waa 061 46
strokes lower than thalr nearest
rival, Livingstone College, which
had a total of 727.
Puryear fired the lowest
ing a 79 sb tbs opening day. He
closed with an 94 fer a total of
164 which waa matched by Me-
Knight, who recorded 81-62.

Babe Ruth's longtime mark of 90

Others are willing to wager
that Willie will became the
first .400-plus hitter in tha
majors In SI yean. Still others
thinks he could well drive In
mare than 808 rans to top Hank
Wilton's all-time record at MO
set in 1930. Others were willing
to go the limit on Willie, saying
he conld win In every note
worthy category, including
slagging.
Granting that there might al
ready be enough speculation about
what Mays might do in 1964, this
scribe still cannot resist tha temp
tation of Joining the speculators.
Here are a few projections!
Homers: Willie's total cf 18 for
22 games (May 13) gave him a per
centage of .59 per game. At that
pace, he should clobber 97 homan
(in 164 games) for tha season.

an average of LI per game fer
