competitors have been falling all
over each other trying to avoid it.
It's conceivable that this Sc
ries with the Red Sox could af-
ford Washington fans their last
glimpse of slugger Ted Williams
in action. Earlier this season he
declared this would be his last
year. He could change his mind,
but hasn't thus far.
Ted, who has obtained only
three hits in his last 80 tries,
still retains an outside chance of
capturing his fifth American
League batting championship.
Cleveland's Bobby Avila, batting
1888, leads Ted by two points and
has an added advantage in that
Williams probably won't get to
bat 400 times.
Williams has batted 351 times
with 10 games to go. If he isn't
walked too frequently and gets
a hot streak. Ted could wind UP
the winner.
This may necessitate compiling
a decided bulge over Avila, for If
Williams fails to bat 400 times
the situation is complicated.
Dean Stone, trying for a 18th
win, will pitch for the Senators
tonight against Frank Sullivan
or Leo Kiely.

Third. Kentucky sent out a

would be out to avoid ''humili-

He doesn't care for publicity of

Kentucky may have made
what will prove to be a fatal
mistake in its preparations to
meet Maryland tomorrow in one
Of the days top college football
games.
The Wildcats, coached by
Blanton Collier, who is not the
man with whom Jim Tatum
scheduled the home and home
series, have irritated the Mary
land coach somewhat, and he
has passed on his peeve to the
players.
First. Kentucky sent LOLA
tickets to Maryland-none of
them a good one, and Tatum is
not used to being treated like
that by friend or foe.
Second, because neither team
has played the other since 1881,
Tatum called Lexington and
suggested to Collier that both
teams send SCOUTS to mira squad
scrimmages last Saturday.

Ted May Take Lost Cuts Here
Fourth Place Is Going Begging
As Senators Take OnRed Sox
By Burton Hawkins

Fourth place in the American
League must contain germs. for
the Senators, Tigers and Red Sox
are approaching that territory as
If it's something to be Stunned
There's money to be won by fin
ishing fourth, but the three clubs
involved are behaving as if it's
tainted.
Ten days ago the Senators
headed west harboring a thought
of overcoming the 212 game gap
separating them from the bot
tom rung of the first division.
They proceeded to lose five of
seven games, but tonight when
they tangle with the Red Sox
in the opener of three-game
series at Griffith Stadium, the
margin separating them from
slice of World Series coin re-
mains 21a games.
A squirt in their last 10 games
still could land the Senators in
fourth place. They'll be con-
fronting Boston in seven of those
affairs and New York in the
other three. The Red Sox have
three games remaining with
Philadelphia in addition to their
seven with Washington, while
Detroit has six games to go with
Cleveland and three with Bal
timore.
Any sort of a winning streak
by any of the three clubs feuding
over fourth place could have
sealed the position long ago. but
they're acting as if it's off limits.
While the Senators were stun
bling through the West, the Tt
gers lost five of eight games, but
still advanced from fifth place
to fourth because the Red Sox
lost six of eight.
Fourth place this year doubt
less will mean more than 5000
per player, what with the In
dams and Giants calculated to
set a World Series money record.
That would provide most of the
groceries until the pay checks
start again next spring and it's
worth some anxiety, but the
