season.
There has been some talk of Mr..
Sterling moving his franchise to
another city I hope this doesn't
happen, because I'm rabid base
ball fan, and I'm supporter of the
Owls, win, lose or draw-and don't
forget that / like winner just as
well as anyone else. But l can't
run my newspaper unless Pm sup
ported by the advertisers and the
public who buy the paper, and Mr..
Sterling can't run his ball club I'M
less he gets support from the fans
Probably there are some things that
Mr.. Sterling could be criticized for,
just as we all are open to criticism,
but he has certainly tried his hard
est to strengthen the club this year,
and he has spent good money for
players who were highly recon-
mended and turned out to be buds.
Futher proof that Mr.. Sterling is
in there fighting, came with his, an
nouncement which heads this weeks
column. So if you want to see or
ganized ball continue in Hagers-
town, it's up to you to not only get
out to the games yourselves, but to
talk it up among your friends and
get them out too.

To most folks the END OF
perfect day" is just a line
from an old song, but to a
ball player it means some
thing more. It's the end of a
day that saw him collect as
many base hits as times at
bat-an accomplishment that
every hitter strives for and
rarely attains, as witness the
perfect day" record of Ted
Williams of the Boston Red
Sox, generally acknowledged
to be as great a hitter as
there is in baseball today.
Last Sunday, shortly after
getting back into action after
two weeks of being sidelined
with an injury, Williams hao
one hit in one official trip
against Cleveland. 1t was
only a 45th perfect day" for
Ted since entering the big
show in 1939-a compara-
lively small number consid.
ering the thousands of times
the Splinter" has gone to
bat for the Red Sox.
That batting averages don't
fatten on perfect days but
are built up by numerous
two for four" or "two for
five" afternoons or evenings
is shown by survey of Will
liam's record.
In his first year with the
Red Sox, Ted hit 1927, had
five perfect days" His first
was four hits in four trips.
Then, on August 8 in a
doubleheader, he had three
hits in as many trips in both
contests. Late in the cam
paign he had two more
three for three" days.
This season, through July
25, Ted has had seven perfect
days-thrice having four hits
in as many trips.
Counting those three times
this season in which he has
had as many as four hits in
one game, Ted's total num-
Der of four or more hits in
one contest is II. He had
three four-hit days in 1889,
one in 1910, three in 1941,
none in 1912, three in 1916,
four in l947.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1948-08-13

In 1916 he had the biggest
of those four-hit days. On
July IA, against Cleveland,
Ted had three homers and a
single in five trips. On July
81, against st. Louis, he went
to bat five times, hit for the
cycle-a single, double, triple
and homer.
The lanky Boston star got
his first major league homer
with the bases loaded on
Aug. IA, 1889, against Wash
ington's Pete Appleton. On
Aug. 20 that season, against
Harry Eisenstat of Cleve-
land, he had another. In 1941
he had a grand slam homer
against the Browns Bill
Trotter, and in 1912 he nick
ed Dick Fowler of Philadel-
phia for a grand-slammer.
His next victim with the
sacks loaded was Ellis Kin
der, getting that one off the
then Brownie hurler May 18,
1916. On July IA, that same
season, he had one off Cleve-
lands Steve Gromek. Last
summer, on May 16, he
homered with the bases load
ed off st. Louis Walt Brown.
On June 27 of this season
Ted Williams hit his 213th
home run of his 10-year
career.
Of that total, Ted has belt
ed SO in Fenway Park. His
next best spot over those
seven playing seasons has
been st. Louis, where he has
collected rs.

Fishermen Still
Thinking II Over

TAMPA (LPA) - Florida
fishermen are cautious fellows,
CIO southern organizers have
learned. Back in June 194T
Charles Cowl, Florida CIO or
ganizing director, wrote an in
dependent fishermen's union
urging anglers to affiliate with
CIO.
He enclosed a self-addressed
stamped envelope.
Last week - more than a
year later - an answer was re-
ceived in the CIO office. It came
in the same self-addressed en-
velope. But the fishermen still
aren't rushing things. They want
more information and a little
time to think it over.
