day, Ted threw down his bat and
yelled triumphantly at Chase:
"Okay. va bum. I can hit you
with my eyes shut now"
Like most of the things he has
accomplished. Williams batting
records have been made the hard
way. During his first eight years
with the Red Sox. he never failed
to finish at the top or close to the
top in those all-important depart
ments Of batting-average. home
runs. runs batted in and total
bases.
He won the batting crown four
times, compiled the third highest
batting average in the history Of
the game, led in runs batted in
four times. was home run cham
pion four times and, perhaps most
significant, led in walks received
six times.
A much debated point is
whether Ted would have estab-
lished even more sensational bat
ting records had he been with a
club other than the Red Sox. 1t
is a fact that he plays half his
154 games each season in a park
which always has been a right
handlers paradise and q left
handed batter'S nightmare. Will
liams. Of course, is a lefthander.
Earned All His Records.
There is no doubt that Williams
has earned the remarkable batting
records he has compiled. It can
never be said that Fenway Park.
with the most distant right field
in the majors, is the park that
was built for Ted Williams.
What makes Williams so great
q hitter?
To begin with he has the
keenest eyes (brownish green) in
baseball. Navy doctors who gave
him his entry examinations said
his eyes would occur only six
times in 100000 persons.
Williams has fast refiexes and
he has schooled himself not to
swing If a ball is a fraction of an
inch outside the plate. He be-
l1eves every pitch in the strike zone
is potential home run ball.
Williams does not own excep-
tionally strong wrists as many
think. He Is not the powerfully
built type and his 1913 pounds are
spread over a 6-foot-3A frame.
But he has perfect coordination
Of movement.
Last spring the Red Sox were
playing the Cincinnati Reds. Ted
Kluszewski, hulking 230-pound
first baseman Of the Reds was
taking batting practice cuts. Will
liams was watching intensely as
he does all opposing hitters.
Look at that son-of-gun," Ted
observed. Look at those power
full wrists on the guy. Some guys
have all the luck. All he has to
do is flick those wrists and bam,
while skinny guy like myself
has to work his head off,"
Williams privately resents the
fact that they've set up barriers
Qike the Boudreau shift to cur
tail his hitting, while on the other
hand such sluggers as Babe Ruth,
AL Simmons, Hank Greenberg and
Ralph Kiner have been aided in
their efforts to hit home runs.
That may account for his stub
born refusal to beat the shift by
hitting more to the unprotected
spaces in left. He regards the shift
as a challenge and Ted has never
yet backed away from any chal-
lenge.
1t has been said that Williams

Conservation Notes


Many farmers are cooperating
with the soil conservation district
in the construction of drain dit
ches. c. l.. Downer, one of the
district commissioners and his
brother, K. F. Downer, of the
Acona community constructed
more than a mile of drag line dit
ches during December, 1949. These
bitches drain approximately $50
acres, 100 acres of pasture land
and so acres of row crop land.
Mr. Downer stated 81 have want
ed to dig this ditch for the past
rs years" He had observed that
the best pasture plants would not
grow on this land because it was
too wet most of the year and that
he was not able to get a crop
from the cultivated land during
wet years.
The Downer brothers have TAX
