A spring training victory or home
run doesn't mean a thing when
baseball's opening day rolls around,
but Pittsburgh fans were keeping
their fingers crossed today after
Hank Greenberg's smashing per-
formance against the Boston Braves
at Fort Lauderdale, Fla, yesterday.
Ordinarily Greenberg is no ball
of fire in the Grapefruit League,
and that's why his two homers and
single against the Braves was con-
sidered highly significant. The big
slugger likes to take his time round
ing into condition for the league
games which count.
But this is a different year for
Hank-maybe the end of the trail
for the handsome clouter who COL
lected nearly all power hitting hon
ors in his long term with Detroit's
Tigers. And Hank, who was deeply
hurt and embittered by his sudden
sale to Pittsburgh, wants to snow
the Tigers as well as the fans that
he still wields a big stick.
Up to yesterday Greenberg had
made only three singles in 16 trips
to plate.
In the fifth, against Lefty SPAIN,
Greenberg beltedsa low curve over
the left-center fence for his sec
ond homer. And that blow was
heartening to Manager Billy Her
man and the Pirate brain trust.

his sights set on another 400 batting
average this year, and since he re-
CARDS the WILLIAMS shift" as a
barrier to his goal he is practicing
left-field drives to break it up.
Admitting he was "a bit bull
headed at times" last year, the
slugging outfelder now says his per-
sistent refusal to hit to left then
probably cost him the American
League batting title.
Ted estimated he lost about nine
hits directly because of the shift
enough to enable him to have
beaten out Mickey Vernon for the
crown. AS it was he finished with
a .342 and IL points behind the
Washington first baseman.
II definitely am going to hit to
left more often this year" said
Williams, Especially when they use
that cock-eyed shift against me-"
Williams said he realized that
striving for a 400 batting mark
meant he would have to sacrifice
some of his home-run power.

getting hits" he said. Babe Ruth's

Georgetown to the Braves, nor
Tom Cantwell, who played in the
