Williams Gives Cause for Hate,
But You'll Like His 'Other Side
By Whitney Martin
Assoelofed Pres. Sports Writer


1nasmuch as we are part Of the
public which Ted Williams told to
90 fry an egg, or words to that effect,
we should be full Of spite, and writ
ing pieces tearing him limb from
limb.
Somehow we can't do it, chiefly
because we like the guy. Our rela-
tions with him have been most
pleasant always, and although we
realize lot Of folk consider him a
prime grade migrate we must Judge
him by what we have seen OF him
personally.
We're not condoning his attitude
and remarks concerning the public,
understand. We think they we're
strictly out Of line, and we are dis
appointed in him. He went through
last year without q criticism. He
starts this year by plunging into a
bramble bush, and all those barbs
are going to hurt.
We wouldn't try to defend him in
the present case. All we can do Is
point out what a strange character
he Is. and how his behavior is full
Of contradictions. YOU have to make
double exposure to get both sides
Of him.
He's guy who petulantly would
tell the public to mind Its own
;usiness. yet would stop at a news
itand, buy up bunch of magazines,
md secretly drop them at the door
If hospital.
He's a guy who once was fined
$50 for loafing and sulking after
he fans had been riding him, yet
les the. same guy who played
through World Series with a
adly bruised elbow, and refused to
.libi for his pathetic showing.
He's guy who expresses utter
unconcern over anything that
doesn't pertain to Ted Williams,
but is intensely interested in the
workings Of your camera, or type
writer. or anything you might use
in your business. II you are an
interviewer you might wind up
being interviewed. He wants to
know all about you.
He's a guy who is considered
thankless, yet he'll agree to any
terms, by telephone, the Red Sox
offer because they've always been
good to him.
He's a guy who might rave and
rant over the suggestion that he
attend some meeting with charity
angle, and 10 minutes later inquire
quietly II 1t wasn't about time to
leave for the appearance.
He's a guy without appreciation,
vet he worried ard fretted all day
over the wording of telegram he
Evening star., 1948-04-28

was to send regretting his inability
to be present at an affair at which
he was to be honored.
A strange character, indeed, is
this blowoff, popoff young man
Personally we don't think he means
half of what he says, and 10 min
utes later regrets he said 1t If his
statements were too frank.
We don't believe you could change
him any more than you could have
changed Babe Ruth from the
boisterous, lovable Bambino who
was the idol-still is the idol-of the
fans.
If Ted Williams acted any other
way he wouldn't be Ted Williams,
that's all. He might be sweet in
the bye and bye, but right now he
is an uninhibited young fellow who
wants only to be the best batter
in baseball. He just doesn't realize
that the pubic which he derides
gives him that chance.
Some day, if baseball lets him
stick around long enough, he'll real
ize that the public is more potent
than the bat he swings. That will
be the new Ted Williams. If he
pretended to realize that now he'd
be phoney. He just doesn't, that's
all. and he can't pretend that he
does.

raining Too Tough, Ice Queen
HOPES She's Done With Game
By Bill Fuchs

Blond, vivacious Gretchen Mer-
rill, national women's figure skat-
ing queen, has put away her
skates for good, she hopes, at
least as competitor. The train
ing Is brutal and she has reached
the upper bracket of the sport,
a feat for which her mother also
can take a bow.
II became a skater quite by
accident" said Miss Merrill yes
terday before taking of for VIM
chester where she will reign as
apple blossom queen. MY
mother gave me a membership
card in the Boston Skating Club
for my 10th birthday. I won a
medal for swimming when I was
4 years old and my mother
thought I might do we'll in ice
skating
Miss Merrill substantiated her
mothers faith by taking the
novice division title in Philadel-
phla at the age OF IL.
"One of the girls beat" Miss
Merrill recalls, was 49,"
The o. year old champion
hopes she can retire, but she
fears itchy feet may lure her
back to the ice.
lone has to train five hours a
day nine months Of the year."
she said, land I want to get into
something else"
Miss Merrill voiced interest in
the advertising business, but the
fact that she had just dined as
a guest of the Advertising Club
at the Hotel Statler may have
influenced her.
At 13 Miss Merrill annexed
the national Junior title and
three years later won the senior
title, which she has held for six
years. She also won the artistic
prize and says it is the first time
one person ever has annexed
Evening star., 1948-04-28

both crowns in the same year.
Miss Merrill calls Boston
home, or at least, she tries to.
The last six years the ice queen
has spent away, two years in
Europe, where she was a member
of the United States Olympic
team, and four years on the
West Coast.
II go back to Boston every
spring" she says longingly, "and
ask myself, is this my home?'"
You may hear more of this
winsome blond with the rich
Bostonian accent. She says she
wants to quit. But will she?
Perhaps the attraction of the
ice combined with the lure of
the worlds title will be too
tempting. But all that's in the
future. Tomorrow she accepts
another crown.

CT TRAINING
Some of the abuses of the CT
Bill of Rights, lately under attack
by magazines, newspapers, and vet
Grams themselves, will be corrected
under the 1949 VA appropriations
law.
No more will the VA pay for
courses in ballroom dancing, bar
tending, and the like, which are
classed as avocational or recreational
courses. The VA will continue to
pay subsistence allowances for le-
gitimate vocational courses, and
will determine for itself the nature
of the course in question.
Thus, the spectacle Of taxpayers
money being used for frivolous
purposes-distasteful both to the
public and to the large majority of
veterans-will be largely eliminated
under the new procedure.
