For some reason or other, we've always
been on the side of the underdog, no .matter
what the sport. You would hardly call Ted
Williams, "the Boston Red Sox home -run hitter,
an underdog, especially if • you recalled his
salary. But we were griped, on occasional
,risits to the Boston ball -park, by the almost
vicioo's fashion in which Williams was greeted when he fielded
a bail, or carne to bat. We never understood why such a truly-
greia* r•hlete should receive such scurvy treatment, and felt it
a trioijte to Williams' couragv., and tenacity, that he should
continue, to star in the face of such mysterious hostility.
Perhaps it will be different in coming seasons for the
splendid Sprinter. as the tall, slim batter has been termed, now
that he is definitely a war hero. We hope so. particularly
after hearing a story that came out of the west oast. after
Williams landed there on his return from Korea.
H€ came frr m Hawaii on a transport plane on which there
• .were two Links for sleeping.
t,
When told Williams was on that plane. a serviceman is said
to have cracked: "I know who'll be in one of those 'bunks when
the plane lands." -
After the planta landed. a sports writer picked ,up a hitch-
hiking sailor who had come from Hawaii on the same plane.
"What sort of man is Williams?" the writer asked.
"A completely right guy," was the answer.
"What did he do?" prodded the writer.
"Well, he came aboard with an armful of magazines and
dropped them around for us to pick up and read." '
"Where did he sleep?"
"He just piled on the floor with the rest of us."
And from Washington, D.C., we got another Ted Williams
story than belies the claim that he's indifferent' to requests.
gruff and disobliging.
A baseball, fan named Jim McNally, a great admirer of
Williams, wrote Ted asking for a couple of autographs for him-
self and his -son, Jim Jr., former Washington -Lee High School
sports star. Ted replied with two signed photos just three days
after the request. Like Ted, both the McNallys are ex -Marines.
Williams was Captain Williams of the US Marines. He
took no more, as he flew back from the battle -front, than was
available for all others, enlisted or otherwise, so we feel pretty
sure we're not alone in hoping that Captain Ted Williams
regain his eyes alis swing and his speed quickly enough to hit
