Ted Says Podres Is Victim

Ted Williams says Pitcher
Johnny Podres of the Dodgers

than he gets famous by beating
the Yankees in the World Series"
The Boston Red Sox slugger
dashed out yesterday on the
Podres case as typical Of policies
toward well-known ball players.
Podres recently was reclassi-

deferred three years due to a bad
back.
"PodreS is paying the penalty
for being a star" said the FUN

lost those World Series games,
he would probably still be with

Williams blamed the situation
on "gutless draft boards. gutless

writers"

Show-SteoIing Shifhett
Excites Griffs' Camp

on the mound. The product of
Elkton. Va. showed 'em some
thing.
Shiff1lett's pitching was like a
breath of fresh. cool air follow
ing a trudge through a smoky
trash pile. The White Sox had
pummeled Stone for eight hits
in three innings. had been aided
by seven walks and a wild pitch,
and had rolled up nine runs.
Against Shiff1ett, facing them
for the first time and knowing
little of their weaknesses, the
White Sox got two singles. no
runs. in three innings. He walked
one.
This followed a fine outing in
a squad game, in which Garland
allowed one hit, no runs and one
base on balls in three innings.
The statistics are eye-popping
considering his lack of expert
ence, and so Is Shifflett's fast
ball.
Compared With Ramos
It was Dresser who insisted
on Pedro Ramos remaining with
the Senators last season, giving
him the tremendous promotion
from Class D ranks. Pedro
wasn't spectacular with his sill
record, but he's rated one of the
more promising young pitchers
in the majors.
"I'd have to say Shifflett has
shown me more than Ramos
showed me in training last year, "
Dresser said. "He picks up in
Istruction quickly, he's deter
mined and he's got ability"
If Shiff1eett continues his ex-
lcellent work, Dresser and Crit
fifth will be confronted with a
tough decision. Shiff1ett, who
will be 81 years old two weeks
from today, conceivably could be
hurt if plunged in over his head,
His confidence might be shat
tered if he took repeated batter
lings after being graduated to
the big time.
1t might be more advisable
to nurse him along tenderly,
bring him UP through the ranks
and refuse to rush him, but if
he continues to demonstrate he
can stop major league hitters,
it's possible his place Of employ
