POLLY AND HER 4 ASOTA, Fla., March 28—Ted ms, Boston's young outfielder, | t to feel the sharp scrape of a ; and the glowing flush of m, wet towel banked about his el There's a bit of soft fuzzy down on | b chin but the 19-year-old out- ficlder from San Diego savs he won't ! be in the market for a shave for cme time. Williams is the kid Pacific coast rs tabbed as a second Di- 0. Tom Yawkey of the Red unbundled a roll of bank notes and a couple of players to oubid other clubs for him Bt Ted is a trifle upset by all He thinks the scribes on too thick. “I'm just a ; trying to get along.” he grins “I've nsver e n seen DiMag- gio play but from ail T have read about him, T know I'm not in hi class, yet." When He Grews Up Ted is a beanpole, 6-foot-3 and 75 pounds. But when he grows up and that lanky frame fills out be's going to be some pumpkin He is just a year off the sandlots Ted turned down a scholarship at the University of Southern Cali- fornia for a whirl with San Diego and woke up to find himself in 2 major-league uniform. That long trip east was quite a sight-seeing expedition for him. He'd never been east of California be- fore. He feels he owes a lot to Lefty O'Doul, manager of the Seals. It's this way: Williams was doing quite a bit of bench-sitting until, O'Doul made an offer for him Then San Diego suddenly realized he might be a fancy package and | poked him into the outfield. If Lefty hadn’t popped up with 2 bid Ted might still be getting bench splin- ters in his pants. His biggest thrills last year came when he hit two home runs in a game three (imes. He was fifth in the league in runs batted in. And he hit .291, belting out 25 homers. Needed: Experience should have hit better, but I've got a lazy disposition and when the jockeys out there start- ed riding me I got discouraged and for awhile just didn’t give a darn.” | He's a pull ball hitter. “They say I'm a wrist hitter. I take a medi- um-sized cut at the ball and don't| try to kill it every time.” ‘He was a pitcheer in Hoover high school in San Diego but when he turned pro they took a look af his| batting average—.439 for three years —and promptly directed him to the outfield. Williams is afraid the Red Sox have too much outfield talent — Cramer, Chapman and Vosmik—for him to break in as a regular this vear. “And if T can't get in games pretty regularly, I'd rather they'd ship me to the minors for an- other season. I guess I could stand some more experience.” FLOWER LEAGUERS BOWLING TONIGHT Tournament play resumes at the Brunswick Bowling Alleys tonight in the Flower League. First game at 7:30; Orchids vs. Gardenias. Second game; Asters vs. Forget-me-nots. PALS YEP. HE'S = NEwW BEAU HYPNOTIST THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1938. POLLY'S ---A ! MAKES PEOPLE THINK THEY'S ANIMALS AN' SECH ROOKIES HOLD MANY RECORDS, NO-HIT GAMES Incidents Are Brougl\l Out by Graham in Hop- ping Around Camps By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature § CRLANDO, A nbout the Paln ball traini rvice Writer rch 28.—Hop- tto belt from camp to an- r, I've bumped into rookie 10've got something very. major-league bet- ne-hit games tacked onto their record Here in Orlando there's a young- barely of voting age who :d two perfect games last sea- son. Twe in a ye and there are indreds of pitchers who twist 'em over the platter for a lifetime and never come close He’s black - haired, 170 - pound Joe Kohlman of the Washington Senators. This right-hander flung for Salisbury, Md., in the Eastern Shore league. Now that circuit as you've probably suspected, i quite a ways down the baseball ladder, but a no-hitter is a no- hitter and tops in any league, even if it's a iddle-de-winks loop. He May Neot Make It And this quiet, not overly strong boy turned in the greatest winning streak in baseball's history. He won 25 games in a row! The jump from Salisbury to the majors is as wide as the Atlantic and Joe may need some more sea- soning. He's got a lot of stuff, but isn't very fast. Another 1937 no-hitter was scored by Paul Arthur Gehrman, Cincin- nati's big right-handed Dutchman. He teed off into the Hall of Fame while pitching for Durham against Portsmouth in the Piedmont league and around Carolina they still talk about the husky lumberman’s twist- ing curve. Tommy Reis of the Philadelphia Phillies hurled a perfect game in one of the “little world series” of the minor leagues. Working for Wilkes-Barre he did the stunt against Elmira in the New York- Pennsylvania league playoffs last autumn. A six-foot-two right- hander, Reis won 19 and lost 9. Texas Leaguer The St. Louis Browns drew a no- hit tosser in the swap that sent Rollic Hemsley to Cleveland for Billy Sullivan, Roy Hughes and Ed Cole. Cole, whose real name is Kiloski, authored the first perfect game in Texas league history. It was three years ago when he was pitching for Galveston. The Chicago Cubs grabbed a couple of chaps who've turned in spotless performances, Newt Kim- Lall and Bob Logan. Kimball's was for Ponca City against Hutchin- son in 193¢ in the Western asso- ciation and Logan’s was for Fair- burg against York in 1930 in the Nebraska state league. e Some 50,000 beauty shops in the United States do a business of more than $100,000,000 yearly and pro- duction of American cosmetics is $200,000,000. each year. Dolph Camilli N Brooklyn's baseball building pro- gram takes a boom as the front office announced purchase of Dolph Camilli, Phil first baseman, for $30,000 and Outfielder Eddie Morgan. Camilli was third in the National league home run derby last year, and is a strong hitter at Ebbets park, 'ESPEE WINS ONE TO TAKE TOTAL HONOR Santa Fe won two of three from the Southern Pacific Saturday night | at the Elks Club, but lost in total pin tally, 1594 to 1578, with Bob Duckworth holding up the Southern Pacific scoring by himself. | Northern Pacific took two of three from Pennsylvania and won in total pinfall by six pins.
