Williams missed becoming a five-time winner of the crown by two ten-thousands of point in the slide-tule wtndup, There have been one point margins before, but never has the edge had such a decimal de cision as this one. Goose Goslln of Washington grabbed the 1928 title by one point. Buddy Myer of Washington had the same close shave in 1935.
