LOUIS, May 27—(#—Baseball fans usually think Ted Willis as a guy who isn't interested in any thing, but hitting—during a ball game, that is . But you can t it from an admiring teammate, Boo Ferriss, that Ted's fielding ability has bLeen greatly under-rated. Ted has made himself into a lot Letter fielder than he is given credit for being, says Fer 5 don't overloak his throwing.\Why, in Chicago he made one throw from deep left that was as good as any T ever saw’ . Williams, known as a dead right field hitter, has been crossing up the opposition on this western tour by hitting to left. Ferriss, who hasn’ up the league on mound this spring, still maintains| that there’s no particular hitter | who reats him like a “cousin” . . “ot | been burning course, there’s a fellow named Joe! DiMaggic,” Boo adds, with a smile, he hits pretty good* . and as for| Willlams: “Well I'm glad he’s 01‘ my side.” - e - FIGHT DOPE Fights last night turned out as follows: OAKLAND, Calif.—George O'Neill Bell, 157, Detroit, 10.
