Boston Fans Are "With" Williams In Hub Debut
Few Dead End" Kids Get "On" Red Sox Fielder;
 Fans Protect" Him
BY GORDON MANNING

GSAAsGNA 4 AW10 NgWeSh4 SSAA HkSCAANANN~S
 Boston, April 13. (UP)-Ted VII. Hams, basebalIs super slugger await ing the start of his last season fol the duration, was heartened today by Boston fandom's approval oi President Roosevelts order re-classi- flying him 3-A in the draft.
 Williams, center of the second World Wars biggest draft furore involving 8 prominent athlete, gain ed virtually the unanimous support of local fans yesterday in his first Boston appearance since he was shifted from class IA because he supports his mother.
 The 23-year -oid outf1elder, who has announced he will play "ons more season" before elTlisting in the army said he was delighted with the reception" and that it exceeded his expectations.
 A crowd of 8I86 fans and eco sol diers and sailors were on hand to welcome Ted home despite the un- seasonable weather, and they didn't miss a single chance to voice their approval. On each of his four trips to the plate, they responded with rounds of applause and cheers as the Boston Red Sox dropped a 7-5 decisicn to the Boston Braves at F'enway Park in the only game ot the ir1tra-city series.
 Kids Rode" Him
 He was treated like a "boy king by all except several scattered grandstand spectators and quar- tet of dead end kids" who sat in the left field bleachers only about 50 feet away from his positoin. The four boys went to work on Williams during pre-game practice and kept 1t up until the sixth inning when they gave up in the face of a bel ligerent defense of Williams by nearby fans.
 "You ought to be ashamed of yourself" one of the boys hollered as Williams trotted to his post for practice. "You ought to be in the army" another shouted. Why aren't you in there ffghting?" a third shouted.
 A well-dressed elderly man, sit ting with his wife, stood up and faced the boys, who wore sweaters and jackets, and yelled, 'keep still you buns. I'll bet your fathers are on the PWA. I pay 5000 a year in taxes to kep fellows like you going.
 To the Rescue
 A young man joined in the ex- change of taunts and insults, but after he told the boys to shut up, his girl hauled him down into his seat. When one of the boys. para phrasing the announcer, said, At tentiorf please Williams is coming out" another boy nearby replied "You1 be carried out if you don't pipe down."
 At the start of the game, Wil- Hams tipped his cap to the bleach- CTS, rare gesture for him, and a fan baked, ''never mind the kids, Ted, we're all with you"
 During the game, Ted paid strict attention to business, exchanging occasional words with Center Field- CT Dom DiMaggio and scoreboard keeper, Bill Daley. He glanced only once at the bleacherites. At bat, williams, who hit .406 last season. lined single to center and drew a walk in four tries. He caught one fly and handled two hits cleanly in the field.

Nelson And Hogan, Former Caddy Rivals To Settle Masters
BY BROOKS SMITH

Limited TeSS Stan C0rreSpOndent)
 Augusta Ga. April 13-(UP) Bly, ron Nelson ad Ben Hogan, whose golf rivalry started 15 years ago when they were caddies at the Glen Garden Country Club at Fort Worth meet today in an l8-hole playoff for the Masters golf tournament title.
 Tn 1927, when they were 15, Nell son defetaed Hogan for the caddy championship at the Glen Garden Club. Nelson'S first prize was mid- iron and Hogan got a mashie. To- day the prize will be $500.
 Nelson and Hogan, probably the finest golfers in the world today, came home in dead heat Sunday afternoon with scores of 28O, forcing the playoff.
 Hogan finished his round first, a two-under par 70, and a glance at the scoreboard showed that Lord Byron had three holes to go and needed only par on each for 279 title.
 He did all right at the short 18th, getting on the green with his iron and getting down in two butts. But his mistake came on the next hole.
 Great Drive
 The 17th is a 400-yard par four with sand traps in front of the green. Nelson's drive was about 280 yards down the middle but his ap- preach was short and the ball land- ed in trap. He blasted out and two putted for bogey five.
 That left him needing a birdie on the 18th to win or a par four to tie. Off the tee, his booming drive veered in a slice into the woods and the gallery of 1000 groaned. But he made a great recovery, lofting the ball straight toward the green where 1t landed l2 feet from the pin. His putt missed by inches and he had to be content with a par.
 Nelson said his approach shot in to the trap on the l7tl cost him the victroy.
 q was shooting at the pin. of course, end should have used 8 seven iron." Nelson said. But I thought the eight iron would get me there. At it was 1t lacked just yard of clearing the trap.

YANK STAFF STABLE; FORK IS HUNGRY AGAIN

Whether 1t is Buddy HaSsett or Ed Levy at first base, the Yankees will be as strong as there as they were in 194l, when they prevailed by IT games. They hit that long ball. Red Ruffing and Vernon Co., meg are year older, but the pitch ing staff is sizable as well as ca pablo, and Joe Mccarthy will get the most out of it. And there is always Joe DiMaggio.
 Johnny Pesky is an improvement over Joe Cronin at shortstop for the Bostons Ted Williams will crowd 400 as long as he can walk And Tom Yawkey's club has Yank Terry, 8 26-game winner and low earned-run distributor in the Pa cif1c Coast League, to go along with Heher NewCome.

CARDS HANG ON DESPITE INJURIES AND ILLNESS

Dodgers led the National League in all offensive departments last season, yet the Cardinals made it the most exciting race in years by causing Leo Durocher to lose weight right down to within a few feet of the wire.
 The Red Birds did this despite an unprecedented string of injuries and sick spells.

Red Sox Stout; Various Aches Hurt Dodgers
BY HARRY CRIMSON (NEA Service Sports Editor)

New York - In the American League, it's the Yankees, of course.
 Only long sslot stabbers go against the New Forks, and they have teen right only once <, the past half dozen years.
 I look for the Cardinals to do what they've threatened to accom- plish the last three campaigns.
 Too many of the Dodgers are getting old.
 There are the physical aches of Dolph Camilli and Billy Herman and the heart throbs of Pete Rei-t ser and Pee Wee Reese. Besides, the latter pair may be lost tn in the draft.
 Anyway, this is the way 1t looks to me as they kick off:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-13

New York will have more power, but isn't going anywhere.
 Good field, no heet," as Mike Gonzalez says, describes too many Cubs.
 The Braves once more will try to keep the other sides sides score down.
 They've taken the 'Iie" out of the Phillies, but the consensus is that Gerry Nugent is still taking money under false pretenses.
