The team physician. DR.. Sid

yesterday even though x-rays
disclosed no fracture. Lumpe

one he incurred In spring train

Los Angeles isn't the only
place having home run fence
problems.
Take College Park. for in
stance, where the University Of
Maryland's baseball team
opened the season with a snow
fence around the outfield to
cut Of some of the otherwise
limitless expanse Of Shiplty
Field.
The original ground rule was
that the ball had to 60 over
this fence on the fly to be a
homer. But after an early
game in which Maryland got
two balls, over on the bounce.
the rule was changed to call
such hits home runs. too. Then
Clemson came in and bounced
five homers over the fence.
So they took the fence down
and tried to forget the whole
thing.
But yesterday Duke came in
and three balls hit by the Blue
Devils probably haven't stopped
rolling yet. One went for q
two-run homer in the first, an
other was q four-run homer In
the second and the third
opened the eighth to break q
tie and gave Duke a 9-s victory.
Today, the Terps play North
Carolina State at College Park.
and they'll try to solve the
home run problem with q new
pitcher. He's Al Bunge, the
basketball star, making his first
appearance on the mound. He
was late reporting for baseball
because Of the long basketball
season, but now that he's ready
he may be q big help to the
team.
State was beaten yesterday
at Virginia, 3-2. There we're
no homers. In fact, it was an
error in the sixth that allowed
the winning run.

day are William g. Mary at

Williams Saws
Red Sox Will
Get in Race

NEW YORK. April ~ R.-
Ted williams today warned
Boston followers not 10 give up
on the Red Sox.
He thinks the club, In the
throes OF one OF It's worst starts
In history. is ready 10 roll.
The great slugger, feeling
better about things now that hi
has his first hit and his FIRST
home run, not only predicted
another banner year for him
self but also insisted the Red
sox will still give the Yankees
q run for the pennant.
Everybody says the Yankees
will win by IS to 20 games
Ted declared. Don't believe II
They're good. but not that
good. They've got a solid club
but they may have trouble with
their pitching.
And II they do. watch out
brother. ! admit their pitching
has looked good up 10 now, but
we've got a long way TO 90 and
Just wait until some OF their
guys start complaining about
sore arms"
Don Larsen had TO leave after
the NTH inning yesterday when
his arm frightened up. but the
Yankees went on to hand
Boston its fourth straight de.
feat. Al. while rolling to Their
NTH consecutive victory.
The Red Sox put Is runners
on base but only Williams, with
a seventh-inning home run,
scored. They left Is on base
and wasted 10 hits. including
Williams fifth-inning single,
his first hit after nine fruitless
times at bat.
The fellows are beginning
10 hit" Williams said, land
that's a good sign. We hadn't
been hitting a lick up TO now
The pitching has been fine but
they weren't getting any runs
We have been getting some
tough breaks. but it's bound
TO change.
Il think we're just about
ready TO start a winning
streak. Wen still give the
Yankees plenty Of trouble
provided none OF our front-line
pitchers are injured. We're q
bit thin there"
How about a fellow named
Williams?
Don't worry about Will
Iliams." Ted said. Hell be all
right. In fact he's going To
have a real good year. Hit
around .340- $50. That is. II
that son-of-a-gun of an ankle
doesn't buckle under him.
Really. though. my timing
still isn't Just right. but it's
getting better every day. Give
me another four. five days and
I'll be ready"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-04-22

admit ! was IN a lot OF SQUAD
bles myself.
I'VE didn't bicker about the
obvious things. For instance.
we Just couldn't beat the
Browns one year. one day we
had them whipped In the ninth
inning with Fred Marberry
pitching and the bases loaded,
The ball was hit right back
10 him and It's an easy double
play. Instead OF throwing 10
the plate he threw TO second
base. Nobody was covering
and he threw the ball and
the ball game away.
well, we all pulled rocks,
Marberry knew he had pulled
a boner, we all knew II, but
nothing was said. What can
you doa You dress In silence
and get out OF the clubhouse. /"
II has been a supposition that
Rice was unable 10 hit a curve
ball when he was graduated 70
the majors after 90 games with
Petersburg. Va. but that he
saw so many curve balls that
he finally learned 10 hit them,
THAT isn't true" Sam said,
II was always a good hitter
Oh, maybe a low ball gave me
trouble. but / laid of 1t. ] was
never a pitcher-I started out
as one-but / could hit the
curve. l wasn't much OF q
| fielder when / broke in.
Did you know Clark Griffith
before he got religion?" Sam
asked. well. he was a tough
old fellow. He used to fine me
anywhere from a Dox Of cigars
TO 500 II / passed up a strike
around my eyes. / could muir
der those pitches. Griff never
made the fine stick, OF course.
but he was a man TO avoid after
a losing ball game"
Rice is a man who fell IL
hits short OF joining Ty Cobb,
Iris Speaker. Cap Arson. Nap
Lajoie. Eddie Collins. Paul
Waner and Honus Wagner as
the only 3.000-hit players in
history. One Of the greatest
OF base runners. Sam also had
a 1872 lifetime batting average.
