WILLIAMS NOW REALIZES
 TEMPERAMENT IMPORTANT

A kskNkA kAAWfAANA6AN A AANAA SAkAANA
 Williams, who has studied all the current better batters closely, points out that DiMaggio and himself are good wrist hitters who seldom offer ct a bad pitch.
 Williams, who has come Q long way in that regard since he made his famous T wanna be @ fireman" crack year ago, shows that he now realizes the importance of tenn perament by giving DiMaggio c bulge in that department.
 i've been down on myself" he smiles, "but never heard of Joe get- ting unsettled"
 Williams, 6 left-hand hitter, has Swatted the ball farther than Babe Ruth. He manufactured 3l home runs az 6 recruit despite a distinct ly unfavorable right field target at Fenway Park. He became such an attraction that the distance was shortened for him, yet his total tumbled to g in l040.
 While among the leaders, Wil- Hams home run pace Is not phe- nomenal, and the San Diego kid Is now reconciled to the belief that he was not cut out to establish home run records.
 WILLIAMS AIMS TO BE FIRST .400 HITTER SINCE TERRY
 Williams would like to perform in Yankee Stadium a while just to see how many homers he'd hit, but goes out of his way to make 1t clear that he's perfectly satisfied in Boston. He asserts that while the right field seats are c long way of at Fenway Park, the wall is low and 0 lot of flies that might bounce of higher walls keep going for homers,
 Williams Is wisely concentrating on being the major leagues first 400 batter since Bill Terry of the Giants edged into that highly ex- elusive circle in 1880 with the aid of the sacrifice fly rule.
 Anyway" he stresses, If you hit Q ball good, 1t will be a home run In any park"
 Ted Williams Is that kind of a hitter.

Ducks! Ducks! Ducks,

This is not the season for duck
stories, but one too good TO let go By
has just come TO light.
Last fall group of Ely men went
to Eastwood lake on a duck hunting
expedition. They were preparing para
phernalia when one of the group
spotted a good sized flock
There they CO." he shouted, and
excitedly demanded that one of the
group accompany him to knock a few
birds out of the flock which had
alighted on the water a short distance
away.
The two set out in a boat and soon
were in shooting distance
Bang! And a big beautiful duck let
out his last quack as the rest of the
flock hit for the wide open spaces.
Jubilant, the excited gentleman
fshed the duck out of the water and
fguratively ate it two or three times
on the way back in
His companion kept a significant
silence that might have raised the
other mans suspicious under different
circumstances.
The rabid hunter fell to preparing
the duck as soon as he reached shore,
while his companion put the pot on

DR. II. j. Lockhart spoke on his
trip to Florida in company with Mr..

weeks meeting of the Ely Rotary
club. Dr. Lockhart made a very
pleasing and exhaustive narrative Of
the trip and the vacation spent at

hunters were still busy with equipment.
For many long tedious minutes the
hunter pulled at the feathers on the
duck, and when he finally had Il
picked the feathers covered a grea.
area around him. Even in his excite
ment he remarked about the luxuriant
growth his particular waterfowl pos
SeSsed.
Then came the climax to our story
One Of the men stepped up, grabbed
the nude fowl by its long neck, whirled
it around several times, and sent il
spinning far out into the lake.
Words and feather flew IN every
direction as the hunter gave vent 70
his ire, but when he had claimed down
enough to listen 10 reason his friends
let him IN on the fact that he had
shot fish duck, and that no one ever
ate fish ducks.
