Walters took the high- ;est average cup for the second straight year with a 191, for 82 games. William H. is the father of an- other William H. who does pret- ty well with his right arm as pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. That's right, the Junior is Bucky Walters. William Sr. bemoans the fact that during his baseball days there wasn’t a Jimmy Wilson around to discover he was a pitcher. Says he: “I was a shortstop, boy and man, until they took away my suit. If there had been a Jimmy Wilson in my life, like there was in Bucky's, he might have ‘changed my infielder arm into a million-dollar pitching asset.
