NEW YORK - willie Mays
has brought a breath-taking ex-
element to baseball, set off by
his unique abundant skills; but
along with the fun and glory
he's had problems. :
With these words. Arnold Hano
begins a long and interesting
article on the famous ball player
in the current issue of Sport.
popular monthly magazine The
article is titled The Willie Mays
Decade"
On the last day of February of
this year. Hano recalls, Mays
tenth year as major-league player,
he was clearly the biggest star
in baseball" Only twenty years
old when he joined the Giants
team. Willie's talents have been
consistently splattered over his
full decade.
In all of baseball, the writer
states, only two players ever hit
as many as % home runs and
stole rs bases in the same season.
Ken Williams did il once, but
Willie Mays did il five times
running before his thirtieth birth
day. And not only that. he hit
80 home runs and stole 30 bases
in the same season
In one of his spectacular plays,
Willie knocked himself uncon-
scious catching a fly. but held
the ball so that it did not touch
the ground. Hano recounts. Other
spectacular plays and outstand-
ing records of the player are
cited and the author also goes

broke. This Is the admission of
former heavyweight champion
Ezzard Charles in a story in the
June issue of Climax. monthly
magazine.
Charles tells an interesting
and fortnight story Of his rise
from poverty and anonymity up

and his descent from the top
rung back to the bottom.
All he has left now is his house
in Cincinnati, which is debt-rid.

only that. he cannot afford n
telephone or car.
MY old friends don't come
around any more" laments the
exclamation, land those who
lived off me aren't doing so
good these days either"
The fortune that he earned
from 100 professional fights dur
ing the nine-year period was not
squandered in riotous or inn
moral living, the former fighter
explains: he never kept women.
smoked or drank liquor: he never
had more than one car at time.

Sumner WeIIes Dies;
New Deal Diplomat

Sumner Welles. the ascetic,
formally correct Undersecretary
of State in the Franklin D.
Roosevelt administration, died
yesterday at the home of his
wife's family in Bernardsville,
N. J.
Mr.. Welles, SO, had been i'll
for three weeks. Some years
ago he suffered a heart attack.
Appointed Assistant Secre-
tary of State in 1888 and ele-
waited to Undersecretary four
years later, Mr.. Welles resigned
in 1943 after a personality clash
with Secretary of State Cordell
Hull.
Credited with coming the
phrase Good Neighbor Policy"
in the United States relations
with South America, Mr.. Welles
did not agree with Secretary
Hull's get tough" policy when
Argentina refused to break off
relations with the Axis during
World War II.
What displeased Mr.. Hull
even more was his undersecre-
tary's habit of going over his
head to take up important
policy matters with President
Roosevelt.
Friend of President
In his memoirs, the home
spun Hull acidly attributed this
liaison to the fact that Mr..
Roosevelt and Welles were old
family friends with the same
social and school background"
AS a career diplomat, Mr..
Welles carried on extensive
correspondence with his legion
of friends within the depart
ment-matters that should
have been handled through
channels, Mr.. Hull charged.
Mr.. WelleS icily quit his post,
refused a Roosevelt assignment
to Moscow, and went to Bar
Harbor, Me, to rest and write
his memoirs.
In his best seller. The Time
for Decision" Mr.. Welles made
no effort to explain his reSigna-
ton. He mentioned his former
chief only once.
He wrote of his special mis-
sion to the capitals of Europe
in 1910 in hope of keeping the
United States out of the war,
but discovered it was too late.
About a year before his re-
tirement, Mr.. Welles was host

Churchill and President RooSe-
welt, at the fabulous, 49-room
Georgian mansion, Oxon Hill,
which Mr.. Welles then owned.
The world leaders had made a
secret rendezvous to plot the
worlds future.
A Picture" Diplomat
Mr.. Welles' high polish, Har-
ward accent, London clothes and
tall. erect figure made him a
picture diplomat. A Central
American diplomat once de-
scribed him as "a tall glass of
distilled ice water"
Born into a wealthy New
York family October IA. 1892,
Mr.. Welles took the same edu-
cational trail as Mr.. Roosevelt
I-Groton and Harvard. prepar-
ing for the foreign service.
He always had a penchant
for Latin America, and after
a first assignment to Tokyo,
went to the embassy in Buenos
Aires in 1917. Three years later
he became chief of the Division
of Latin American Affairs.
First to the Dominican Re-
public and then to Honduras
he was sent by President
Coolidge as a trouble shooter"
during revolutionary periods.
Hit Dollar Diplomacy"
I Leaving the State Depart
ment for a time to write a
book attacking dollar diplom-
acy," Mr.. WelleS returned as
the Roosevelt Assistant Secre-
tary, and in 1888 was briefly
Ambassador to Cuba and
helped reorganize the govern
ment. For this a group of
radicals hanged him in effigy.
But he continued to work
increasingly for better relations
with South America, in 1886
laying the groundwork for the
Inter- American Conference in
Buenos Aires. where President
Roosevelt sounded the keynote
for hemisphere solidarity.
Near the end of World War
II, he was one of the prin-
cipal American diplomats as
signed by President Roosevelt
to work on the formation and
organization of the United Ma
tions.
After his retirement from
the State Department, Mr..
WelleS wrote and appeared oc-
casionally as a speaker on in
ternational topics. His activ-
Iity diminished after Christmas,
l948, when he took one of his
frequent noctural walks, ap-
parently suffered an attack,
and lay unconscious in a field
until he was found the next
morning.
Mr., Welles was married three
times. His first marriage in
1915 was to Esther Slater of
Boston and they had two sons.
Benjamin Welles and Arnold
Nelson WelleS, who survive. The
first marriage ended in divorce
in 1923.
In 1925 Mr.. Welles married
Mathilde Towsend Gerry, for
mer wife of Senator Peter
Gerry of Rhode Island. She
died in 1949. The third mar
riage was in 1853 to the former
Harriette Post, daughter Of
George B. Post, a founder of
the New York Stock Exchange.
She and a sister, Mrs. Harry
P. Robbins of Southampton,
N. Y, also survive.
