sure to get il is some fan yelling. YOU'RE
bum. Williamsr' - usually shouted as trct
out to left after popping up.
Okay, now let's talk about choosing the per-
feet baseball fan. You've got a fine idea there.
Mr.. Linderman: with everybody busy selecting
the 10 best-dressed women, the smarteSt quiz
kid, the champion left-handed Yo-yo twirier.
l think its high time baseball players got
toeether to make an annual Most Valuable
Fan" award. I'm interested in that because q
stadium full Of ideal fans makes the players
happy and therefore guarantees consistently
better brand Of baseball.
Before draw picture Of the perfect spec
tator as I'D like him to be for my good, his
good and the good Of baseball. maybe should
take good look at the non-perfect fan the
one who would rather razz q player than
watch a game. He's an exception. but he
makes more racket than 10 good fans. It's
this type who enjoys picking on me.
How did il all start in the first place?
When I first came up to the Red Sox for
tryout in 1888. was pretty raw heifer and
little thinner-skinned than most recruits. And
what knew about the rules Of etiquette you
could pack in a resin bag Higher education to
me meant lifting ball into space. Maybe l
wasn't social charmer, but from the moment
entered the major leagues never intention
ally did anything to hunt baseball writer.

led Williams is probably the most con-
troversial figure in the history Of baseball.
Here are some Of the highlights in the
career Of the fabulous Red Sox slugeer.
1899 Rookie Of the Year, he bats .327,
hits 81 homers.
1870. Trouble grows with Boston fans
and writers. They say he's not trying.
1871 Hits an astounding .4O6. No other
active major Lacquer has hit over 400.
1871 Wins the All-Star game with a
two-out, ninth-inning homer at Detroit.
1943-44-4S Serves in Marine Air Wing.
1876. His inside-the-park homer, hit to
left field in Cleveland, wins pennant for Red
Sox. Ted fails to show up for victory cele-
bration.
l940 Leads league for fourth time with
1863. Only Ty Cobb and Harry Heilmann
ever won four American League batting
titles.

And yet for some reason. the month Of

states - ushers in on some sports pages the
season for taking pot shots at Ted Williams.
My reaction to some Of these stories has been
to hit back sarcastically or clam up. Conse-
quently q lot Of the exaggerations written about
me have been allowed to pass for many years
as truth.
Il started right OF the bat. my first Red Sox

Mr.. Chou talked with Al

after 10 of them had visited
John Downey and Richard
Fecteau. two Americans impris-
oned about five years.
Mr.. Chou said in q two-hour
interview that Chinese report
ers must be allowed the same
rights in the United States as
he was willing to grant the
United States newsmen now
waiting in Hong Kong.
Mr.. Chou asserted "The State
Department put an end to the
matter by refusing reciprocal
rights Of coverage to Chinese
reporters"
In the marathon interview,
one Of the youths who had just
visited one Of the two American
prisoners asked how many
Americans were being held in
Red China.
II am glad you visited the
American prisoner today" Mr.,
Chou said. Il would like it II
you could tell his family about
his life in China and the FAM
lies Of five other prisoners.
IF the families of the six
are willing to come to China,
We are quite ready to receive
them"
He added that the prisoners
can expect time of their SEN
fences for good behavior.
Claims U. S. Holds 5000
Mr.. Chou repeated the old
claim that the United States
is holding 5000 Chinese Who
cannot write or visit their
families. He said 80 Chinese
are being held in United States
jails.
Turning to Formosa. the is

Mr.. Chou accused America
Of trying to live in isolation
from Red China.
He charged that the United

elements and was attempting
to instigate an independence
movement in Tibet.
Mr.. Chou ended the inter-
view by joining the Americans
in singing Down by the Riv-
