Williams last big opportunity
at cap tipping came in the third
World Series game last fall when
the Red Sox returned to FenWay
Park to face the Cardinals there.

Of the Cards pulled his famous
shift and left the left side of
the field vacant of players, Will

%endlessly but Williams didn't

Williams showed in several
Florida exhibition games that
he can get power by hitting to
left field. In one game he
tripled against the left field
fence at Sarasota and in an
other he doubled to the same
spot with the bases loaded.
Red Sox Manager Joe Cronin
feels that eff they let Ted Viii
liams alone I think everything
will be fine.
Il have never asked Williams
to tip his hat. All I'm interested
in is winning ball games and Ted
always plays to win.
Lets me put it this way. Sup

game. When a player gets a hit
he's thinking of the situation
on the playing field and not
about the fans in the stand.

to drive a player nuts"

most colorful player in the game

1t is the purpose of this new
housing agency to aid and stimu-
late private enterprise in reduc-
ing the housing cost and in at
lacking the problem of housing
areas. Some form of public aid
is necessary to assist private in
dustry in solving these problems.
Mr.. Foley suggested, however,
that public aid found necessary in

by federal, state and local govern

Here the use of government credit
