The Case of Williams vs. the Managers
There is l ame which the American League manager
have taken t.. (hvint the?e past few seasons, much in the
same clr.ss With making or inventing a perpetual motmn
machine Tln rame is sort of a puzzle and a IIolv Ciail
mixed topether. and the league pilots work on it constantly
in the hope of winning some day. It is called Finding a
Way to Stop Ted Williams.
In the old days a club that hit Bostons Fenway Talk
had a pretty even chance of winning the ball .name if tlicv
could hold the enthusiastic Mr. Williams to one or two

Lou Boudreau of Cleveland discovered a neat stopper v. hen i
he shifted the outfield into right-field and let the mt'.t Id I
congregate between first and second Since William- t- a ,
southpaw pull hitter, this should have been very effective.
Other teams patted Boudreau on the back and pulled the!
same stunt. This frustrated Williams very much, 'it is
just as though they have a stone wall up there." mourned he.
But he found that if he put all that famous wrist m. ;
in his swim; he could still blast hits through the openm s.
This kept things at a pietty even keel for a while, and inv.

Leagufs wears special pads on his forearms because of bis
famous head-fust slides into the bases. Ashburn takes oil' ,
catchers when he heads for second base. He has swiped
17 bases for the Phillies and is on his way to the a-l-rnaik.
The major league clubs are holding tryout camps at !
every crossroads m the country this season, trying to drum
up some new blood. The Phillies and Reds picked up sev
eral ball plavers from the Carolinas this wav. One inter
esting note of this year's ivory hunting is the seeking out
of Negro Talent. i
The semi-pros aie opening up the state tourneys again.
The district tourneys will be held next week and the state
event in Asheboro on July 23. It is too bad that Hazelwood
could not go to the Western district tourney in Kings Moun- !
tain. Business Manager George Bischoff figured that the ,
long trip and overnight stays would incur too much expense
and trouble. The locals might have cut quite a swathe in
that competition. Incidentally, when the Graham semi
pros take the field up'in the Elkin tourney this week, you'd
think the players would wear "Tar Heels" across their
backs. In the batting order will be Charlie "Choo-Choo"
Justice, his brother, Joe, and Bobby Weant, Carolina block

New Canton
Club Licked
15 And 3
After Saturday afternoon's
warmup, the Hazelwood club lam
basted another fifteen runs on the
Fourth of July to turn back a new
Canton team by 15-3.
Playing under a broiling sun be
fore a fair-sjzed crowd, the Hazel
wooders cut loose with the same
number of hits they had made the
day before fourteen and took
advantage of every Canton miscue
to rush across a tally.
Ken Troutman and Lawrence
Robinson unleased a home run
apiece for Haielwood.
It was Little Jack Amnions,
working slowly and effectively,
who held the invaders to eight hits
and was never in serious trouble.
Canton threw four pitchers into
the fray but none could stem the
Hazelwood attack. Rogers was the
losing pitcher.
Dudley, Yount, Cllne, Powers
and Robinson each had a pair of
safeties. Both of Dudley's hits
were screeching triples. Dudley,
Troutman and Yount bad three
runs batted across. It was just
another tale of too much Hazel
wood power.
No member of the Canton bat
ting order was able to get over one
hit. Shortstop Stevenson got the
only extra-base knock, a double.
The loss was a pretty discour
aging event for the neighboring
Canton outfit, which has just been
organized and has already been
licked by Cullowhee in its first
start. A re-match will definitely
be slated for a later date between
Ihe two rivals.

What's Wrong
. With Bob?
imriij;, , tl llwiiiii)iiyy!w
BOB FELLER, once the most
rapid of American League
hurleis. hud a disastrous season's
start when he dropped five games
in a row. The stock phrase in
Cleveland became "What's wrong
with Feller?" Said Manager Lou
Boudreau, "We'll sink or swim
with Feller. lie's our ace and
we're going all the way with
him." Then the other day be
fore a record crowd of H2.781
fans Rapid Robert came
through with his old form to de
feat the rival Philadelphia Ath
letics. Feller announced that he
had cancelled all his publicity
and off-the-field engagements
he would do nothing but worry
about his pitching from now on.
Holding a slender lead in the AL
first place, Manager Boudreau
warily hopes that the Iowa strong
hoy can keep turning in work
manlike jobs. As Feller goes, so
goes Cleveland.
