You would hardly call Ted Williams, the Boston Red Soar home -run hitter, an underdog, especially If you recalled his salary. But we were griped, on occasional visits to the Boston ball -park, by the almost vicious fashion in which Williams was greeted when he fielded a ball, or came to bat. We never understood why such a truly -great athlete should receive such scurvy treatment, and felt it a tribute to Willtems' courage, 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 Splinter, as the tall, slim batter has been termed, now that he is definithly a war hero. We hope so, particularly after hearing a story that came out of the west coast, after Williams landed there on his return from Korea. He came from Hawaii on,a'transport plane on which there were two bunks for sleeping. 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 plane 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?" "Be just piled en the floor with the rest of us." And from Washington, D,C,, we got another Ted Williams story that 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 himself 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 U.S. 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 Wil- liams regains his eye, his swing and his speed quickly enough to hit .400 for the Boston Red Sox in the years to come, a hope that seems well grounded, for he was clipping off home -runs in his former brilliant fashion, soon after rejoining his club.

You will see him any fine day on the Thames Embankment, near Charing Cross Pier, kneel- ing on a little pad, and rubbing the crimson and orange glow of the setting sun into the pav- ing stone with a grubby finger. This week his pastels have won for him the title "Screever Number One, London" writes. Melita Knowles in The Chris- tian Science Monitor, The word "screever" isn't de- fined in Webster's.

Alfred got down to work, He took nearly three hours, much longer than usual to complete his picture, "Running Water." "What with the mike, and the lights, and the flashing bulbs, and the questions of the news- papermen, it was card to con- centrate," he told me later. But Alfred knew his subject. And his colleagues applauded as he took off his French berei and rubbed his stuffy beard on re- ceiving the cash prize of 26 from Jean Carson, actress. "I joined the merchant navy when I was 14," he said. "I've seen sunsets all over the world. When I pick up a piece of chalk, the pictures all come crowding back to me." He was doing a repeat al his prize-winning picture on the pavement the next day when I visited him, just a stone's throw (pavement stone) from Cleopat- ra's Needle, A battered old felt hat had a few pennies in it. i dropped in a coin. It chinked, but Alfred didn't look up. He selected an- other crayon from hundreds on a piece of sacking on the pave- ment. Two sprightly white lambs gamboled into the picture. Alfred took a black crayon and etched in a gate. You cant tio tiu41-- F you Feel • L These days most people work under pressure, worry nwre, sleep less.

It's the type of costume that brought wolf whistles from grandpappy when Gloria wore it as a Mack Sennett beauty. "Bit bright, ain't it - that sky?" a voice behind me said. Alfred dropped his chalk. "Time and time again I've seen it," he said, "Where?" the critic asked. "In Scotland when I was in the Army," Alfred joined the Army in the last war, he told me. Maybe it was on maneuvers among the heatherecl banks and braes he had seen the golden, sunsets, the wooded copses, the sheep, the water dashing up from black rocks, He had a precise, well -ordered way of doing his picture - start- ing with sunset. "Never 'ad a lesson in my life. It's just a gift," he said mod- estly. I could see the faint outlines of the sunsets of other days on the pavement, "Do you have to rub them out each night?" I asked. "Well - yes," he said, "but often the rain does it for me. It's late when I leave." My own feeling was he couldn't bear to part with his sunsets, "Oil paintings -- yes I do them, but not for sale. I might do a masterpiece one day. Where would I be it I sold it?" So Alfred parts only with pas- tels - as pictures and trays. He is sending one to Jean Carson, "so she can remember the screever she gave the . prize to," Alfred said. IT MAY BE YOUR LIVER 11 life's not worth living it may be your liver!
