BOSTON, April 26.-When
Pedro Ramos whipped two
strikes past Billy Console, lead
ing off the bottom of the ninth
for Boston yesterday, Catcher
Clint Courtney walked to the
mound and tapped the young
Cuban pitcher on the chest with
a Stubby finger Just
wanted to let him know it was
foolish to knock Console down, .
Courtney said later. "Once in a
while those pitchers want to
drive somebody into the dirt
when they get a couple of strikes
on 'em. It's foolish against a
guy like Console. Shucks, we can
strfHe-him out anyway. l was
afraid Ramos would hit the guy
and let him get on base"
Ramos now has a 81 lifetime
record against the Red Sox and
a lifetime earned run average
of 2.38 against them. Chuck

isn't as swift as Herb Scores or

Then it brings them back up

plot holds so complications to
confuse even a young member
of the audience who had not al

This is one Disney film, in
fact, which seems designed for
the definitely young rather than

equal parts of roaring, brawling

There are two noteworthy
changes wrought in "Davv
