The Williams Story Williams Baseball Student: Plays, Thinks, Lives Game EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third chapter in the "Ted Williams story." By JOE REICHLER BOSTON (AP)—Ted Williams, the highest paid player in baseball, is probably the greatest of all students of the game. Much more than natural talent underlies the brilliant career of the Boston Red Sox slugger. Williams works at baseball, plays it, thinks it, lives it. The first thing he does when he gets out on the field is grab a bat. He hits every chance he gets. When he's in a batting slump he'll get out to the park early and hit against one of the team's pitchers for hours. He'll resume this after the game when everybody has left the park. He'll stand for an hour in front of a mirror swinging a bat. Once he swung and crashed his bat into the bed, wrecking it with one stroke. Ted stood with his bat in his hand, looked at the ruined hotel bed and said, "Gee, what power." Ted knows all about the different woods. He knows more about opposing pitchers than any manager. He has become somewhat of a meteorologist. He studies the wind and air currents. He has made a study of the pitching mounds in every ball park. Like most of the things he has accomplished throughout his stormy career, Williams' batting records have been made the hard way. During the eight years that Ted Tsoutsouvas Gets Orange Grid Job Louis Tsoutsouvas, football coach at Pacific Grove high school, will assume head grid coach duties at Orange high school next September, according to announcement by OUHS Principal Harold V. Kibby. Tsoutsouvas was a candidate for the head football coach's job at Anaheim high school prior to the appointment of Clare Van Hoorebeke early this month. He will serve under William Frantz, new OUHS director of athletics. Frantz, former UCLA gym instructor, replaces L. E. Bryan at Orange. Tsoutsouvas takes over Bryan's football chores. In addition to his coaching, Tsoutsouvas will spend some of his time teaching, Principal Kibby stated. Actual courses have not been determined as yet. Tsoutsouvas has been at Pacific Grove for the past year. Other coaching experience includes Humboldt State College and Ventura Junior College. As a collegiate gridster, Tsoutsouvas performed at center for Stanford University. In 1937, his senior year, he started in the annual East-West Shrine game. Pep Basketers Down Whieldon Led by Jerry Schmitz who scored 13 points the Pens tacked up 55 digits to S. E. Whieldon's 32 in an open division casaba practice session last night on the AUHS court.

Ted knows all about the different woods. He knows more about opposing pitchers than any manager. He has become somewhat of a meteorologist. He studies the wind and air currents. He has made a study of the pitching mounds in every ball park. Like most of the things he has accomplished throughout his stormy career, Williams' batting records have been made the hard way. During the eight years that Ted has worn the Red Sox uniform, prior to this season, he has never failed to finish at the top or close to the top in those all-important departments of batting—average, home runs, runs batted in and total bases. He has been four times winner of the batting crown, is possessor of the third highest batting average in the history of the game, four times leader in runs and perhaps, most significant, six times leader in walks received. The much debated point is whether Ted would have established even more sensational batting records had he been with a club other than the Red Sox. What makes Williams so great a hitter? To begin with he has the keenest eyes (brownish green) in baseball. Navy doctors who gave him his entry examinations said his eyes would occur only six times in 100,000 persons. American League pitchers will tell you they knew it all the time. Williams is a perfectionist. He has schoolled himself not to swing if a ball is a fraction of an inch outside the plate. His judgment is sensational. Williams believes every pitch in the strike zone is a potential home run ball. Williams does not own exceptionally strong wrists as many think. He is not the powerfully built type and his 108 pounds are spread over a six feet three and three quarter inch frame. But he has perfect coordination of movement. His swing is a thing of beauty.

RELIEF ... and security for the RUPTURED NON-SKID SPOT PAD TRUSSES While trusses may be considered a necessary evil that is no reason why you should be realigned to the wearing of a clutch brace. The Non-Skid Spot Pad Truss will hold your Hernia, just like your finger tips, with a fraction of the pressure of ordinary trusses. Hernia when treated in the early stages can often be cured, and the application of this scientifically constructed Truss with the raised Spot Pad helps to hold the Hernia, thus assisting nature. Our trained fitter will gladly demonstrate this new apliance, also the various types of Abdominal Supporters, Elastic Hosery, Shoulder Braces, etc. JACKSON DRUG CO. 237 E. Center Ph. 2322 ANAHEIM Church of Christ Grabs Second Spot with 7-1 Win The church of Christ softballers moved into second place exactly last night as they downed Zion Lutheran 7-1 in the game at City Park. The loss to the Lutherans sent them down the ladder in a 2-2 record. Church of Christ's book shows 4-1 as of last year. Coast Fishing Scene Improves The fishing is picking up along the coast, according to Dick Martin's weekly deep sea report. And a guy from Iowa who had never been angling in the ocean before Sunday says "amen to that one brother." The visitor from the midwest went along on a Western Conservation Club party aboard the Minetoki out of Norm's landing and caught himself a 42½ pound white sea bass at Catalina. All in all, the boats from Norm's did pretty well over the weekend. Total catch included 536 barracuda, 4673 bass, 121 white sea bass and 177 halibut. Barracuda and bass made up most of the catch logged by Port Orange boats cruising local waters. The Alalunga brought back 42 scooters and 225 bass. Count for the Missawit was, in the reverse order, 330 and eight. Seven halibut were also recorded. Barracuda and bass count for the Maybe was 35 and 64. Injury Stops Don Anderson MADISON, Wis. (UP)—California sprinter Don Anderson is through for the year, his coach said today. Anderson strained a leg muscle yesterday while running the 220-yard dash in the Pacific Coast Big Ten interconference dual track meet. "He'll be limping for several weeks," said coach Brutus Hamilton. "It's a shame, too, because he had been running so well and had so much fire. He came off the track half sobbing after it happened." Hamilton said Anderson would not be able to compete in the National AAU meet at Washington Saturday. Martin, A. R. Taylor and Sam Landa took the Jeffries 48 from Kemper's Landing, Port Orlando and got limits of bass and barracuda. Martin came home with an eight-pound scooter and 321 worth of jackpot money. With albacore already putting in appearances, Anaheim likes are veing the second Tuesday in July when their regular charter boat trips running. A few openings will left and can be had by contacting Martin.
