Senators Notes

The Senator's front Office Is
figuring on q crowd Of more
than 10000 for tonight's game
with the Yanks, who will
make their last appearance
here this season under the
lights. If the Senators had won
last nights second game to
make it five in a row, the ex-
pected figure would be closer
to 10000.
Al Downing, the southpaw
who has q 7-3 record since
being recalled from Richmond,
will face Steve Ridzik.
Last nights turnout Of 3d.
486 was several thousand high

his first appearance in 81 days,
probably added about 1000 to
the count.

Controversial Williams
Is Still His Own Man

TED WILLIAMS HASN'T CHANGED.
AS direct and as fidgety and as big as ever,
Ted has been in our midst for couple of
days in his role as sports promotion direc-
tor for Sears. He's good at it, too.
Williams probably was the best hitter
OF his time, which would include a couple
of other greats named Stan Musial and Joe
DiMaggio. He shows batting movie to kid
teams, as he did yesterday at the Statler-
Hilton, augmenting 1t with question and
answer period.
Ted never was unduly shy and bashful
about his own ability. He knew he was
standout hitter and, while eating lunch
yesterday he said he doubted If today's hit
tiers are as good as the ones he played with
and against.
Their averages don't show It," he said
II never saw such few 800 hitters. And I
can't believe it's the so-called enlarged
strike zone that's cutting down the num-
ber."
BATTING WAS A FETISH, almost
religion, with Williams. He admits it. when

In 194l. IF had been little faster" Ted
grinned, II think I'd have reached 400 at
least two more times, maybe three. Five
years ago (he meant 1851 I was SO years
old and hit 1888.
'You know how many infield hits
had that season. Ninel Mickey Mantle in
1855 beat out 80 hits with his speed. All
needed that season, when was getting old,
was six more hits to hit the 400 mark. But
like said, never was fast"
HOWEVER, HE'S PRETTY NIFTY on
his feet, especially when he's talking TO
kids. williams didn't like many newspaper
men in his playing days (''nor some of the
ballplayers, toward the end") but he was
good TO kids. His batting film, which Sears
will loan out to groups, may be the finest
pictorial documentary for young players
ever made.
Most kids don't work at hitting as
hard as they might" Ted said. II see kids

Houk said.
Roebuck has now pitched 91s
innings in relief for the SEN

hits and one run. Manager Gil
Hodges called on Roebuck after
Osteen walked Kubek, who was
pinch-hitting, to lead off the

1t took the Yankees best
pitched game Of the year to
get q split with the Senators
last night in what many people
said was Q double-header that
had everything.
The fans saw seven homers
In the first game. won by the
Senators, 8-5, and a masterful
one-hitter by Stan Williams in
the second, won by the Yam
KEGS, 10. People had happy
faces leaving the park. There
was little grumbling because
the Senators had not won both.
A crowd numbering 38,4S6,
the Senator'S second largest
total Of the year, saw Whitley
Ford bombed for four home
runs, two by Chuck Cottier.
They may never see Ford, who
was touched for all the SEN
ators' runs. hit that hard again.
In fact they saw just about
everything except Mickey Man
tie, and they almost had the
thrill Of seeing No. 7 pinch hit.
Manager Ralph Houk said
after the game that Mantle
would have batted for Ford in
the sixth inning Of the opener
If Clete Boyer had reached
base.
Bench Helps
Houk said this is q better
Washington ball club than the
one he saw q few weeks ago.
Don thinner, Don Blasingame
and Ed Roebuck made part Of
the difference. II had more re-
spect because I could see what
they have on the BENCH" Houk
said. And he's a man who
knows what a bench means.

New Southern Governors
generally appear a shade more
moderate than their predecess-
ors In racial matters-except
in Alabama, where Gov. George
Wallace called for segregation
forever"
The slight trend was evident
in an Associated Press survey
of statements issued by incom-
ing and outgoing chief execu-
tives in Georgia, Alabama,
South Carolina, Tennessee and
Texas in the past few days.
In Arkansas, however, Demo-
cratic Gov. Orval E. Faubus
began an unprecedented fifth
term without mentioning in
tegration in his inaugural ad-
dress. He was the central figure
in Little Rocks 1957-59 de-
segregation crisis.
On the other hand, the Gov
ernor of Alabama devoted much
of his address to promises to
maintain segregation. He urged
the South to make use of its
balance of power to determine
who shall sit in the White
House.

"I draw the line in the dust
and toss the gauntlet before
the feet of tyranny and I
say :, segregation now q.

CATION forever" Gov. Wallace
declared.
Georgia's 37-year-old Carl E.
Sanders pledged as Governor
to "work to promote peaceful
conditions and mutual respect"
and said he would not tolerate
violence.
He added that he would re-
sist legal attacks against
Georgia's institutions in the
Federal courts"
Atlanta's public and paro-
chial schools as well as Georgia
Tech, the University of Georgia
at Athens and Emory Univer-
sity in Atlanta already are de-
segregated. Last night Georgia's
first Negro State Senator in 80
years attended the inaugural
ball in a downtown hotel.
Segregation Favored
Both South Cardinals out
going Gov. Ernest F. Hollings
and new Gov. Donald s. Rus
sell have made statements
strongly favoring segregated
schools.
In his inaugural address,
Gov. Russell said there will be
problems other than financial
in education but I'VE shall
work out our problems peace
ably, according to our stand
ards of justice and decency."
He also invited the public to
lunch on the lawn Of the Gov
ernors house and several score
Negroes attended along with
hundreds Of white persons.
