that the Pirates now are only 3'i
games removed from the Nation

turning out to be a meat-and-po-tatoes
pitch for the Pirates, who

Dodgers Sunday. 6-3. and 5-2 with
a big assist from their pint-sized
relief ace.

Ted Learning
Wfidt It's Like
To Grow Old
BOSTON (t'PD Ted Williams
knew today what it meant to
grow old.
The former plendid splinter of
the Boston Red Sox was benched
because of weak hitting for the
first time in his long and illus
trious career.
Williams, who wiD be 41 this
August 31st, has had only three
hits in his last 30 official trips to
the plate. His average is a puny
.175.
Red Sox Manager Mike Higgins,
asked if Ted had benched him
self, said. "We had a litle talk
and agreed that a few days -off
would be a help to him." '
Higgins declined to ' elaborate
but it seemed obvious that Wil
liams had been asked to step out
of the lineup for several days to
help the team.
That help would come both of
fensively and ' defensively: Wil
liams, who has been leaving base
runners stranded at an alarming
rate the past few weeks, also has
been hurting (he Red Sox through
his fielding. ; " " -v" ''"
: Granted he knows Fenway
Park's left Geld waU like a book
as far as rebounds of hits go. but
Ted has been misjudging and. mis
playing fly balls of late. And his
legs just don't carry him td drives
like they should.

He even missed that putt.
Then it was Rosburg, also need

His tee shot was straight, but his
