Williams' Arm ; StiU Troubling Everybody Worried Except Terrible Ted Br Joe Reichler SARASOTA. Fla., March -Ph Despite -reports to the contrary, Ted Williams' celebrated left el bow is still giving baseball's pre mier power bitter plenty of trou ble, t Williams says the elbow, frac tured in the all-star game in Chi cago last July, still hurts; the arm is not straight, the muscles are loose and the joint at least a half-inch smaller than it should be. But Ted isn't worried much. He believes the arm will regain Its former power "in due time." He is greatly encouraged by the progress he has made in the last three weeks and says the arm is getting stronger every day. "I'd say my left arm has only about 60 per-cent of its normal strength." was the , ever-honest Boston Red Sox slugger's remark. But judging by the steady im provement in the past three weeks, I am confident it will be as strong as ever in due time. "Right now it is ;40 per cent stronger tnan it was wnen x re joined the club last September. But it still hurts when I try to flex my muscle or touch the left shoulder with my fingertips." Williams said he found it tor tuous to swing a bat during the two-game series against New York at Yankee stadium the final week of the 1950 campaign. Yet he managed to wallop two mighty home runs deep into the right field stands in one of the games. "Before each game," he ex plained, "I took whirlpool baths, and had all kinds of hot stuff and massages applied to the arm. Between Innings I'd sneak behind the stands and swing a couple of extra heavy bats in order to keep the elbow loose. It would tighten up on me every few minutes. Williams still takes those whirl pool baths every day and is con stantly exercising the muscles to speed their-development. M know I'll be all right," the slender slugger reiterated, "pro vided there are no setbacks like hurting it again. It's just going to take time. Williams said he ftas felt no pain while taking his cuts in bat ting practice Dut nasni reauy swung from the heels yet How- aver, some of his belts were re mindful of the old style xneo- dore thumps. . : Huskies9 Ace Hurt in trasn . BREMERTON, Wash., March -(tfVDon Heinrich. ail-American quarterback from the University of Washington, and two other per sons narrowly escaped death when an automobile plunged over a 75 foot embankment near here last night.

' Coor Prizes Csfreshments Matthews Eyes Maxim's Crown By Murray Rose NEW YORK, March 4-(fl3)-Har-ry Matthews, the body bomber who made jood with a bang in his first start here Friday night, may try for a crack at Heavyweight Champion Ezzard Charles if he can't get a shot at light heavy weight king Joey Maxim's crown. "Maxim is the guy we want," said Manager Jack Hurley as he rejected a proposition to meet Bob Murphy again. "We're willing to give Maxim $60,000 to fight Harry in Boise next June. The whole state of Idaho would turn out for that fight headed by Gov. Len Jordan. Mat hews was raised in Idaho and everyone knows him there. I don't know where Maxim can get that kind of money anywhere else. But if we can't get him, we may try for Charles- I think Matthews is ready." The Seattle socker, flashing a well rounded attack, battered out a decisive ten round decision over Murphy, third ranked light heavy from San Diego. Matthews is rated No. 2 contender. There hasn't been a Garden de but like that in years nor has any boxer displayed that kind of body punching here in years. Hurley was busy accepting congratula tions on all sides today. Matthews, meanwhile, nursed two bruised, swollen hands which will keep him idle about a month. "Harry is going back to Seattle and rest up his hands, said Hur ley. "When he's ready we'll take him around the Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Boise circuit. He can. make some money there and get in tiptop shape for a championship fight with someone." Jersey Joe Shows Power DETROIT, March 4-(;p-Jersey Joe Walcott heard a sermon today on "Joy in the Morning," and then contributed a little of his own In the afternoon- The Camden, N-J, heavyweight, training here for his Wednesday title bout with Champion Ezzard Charles, appeared at the morning services of the. First Baptist church. The house was packed. He heard Jack Thompson, his sparring partner and assistant pas tor at the church, speak on "Joy in the Morning." Then the Rev. Thompson introduced Walcott, re marking: "We are glad to have Jersey Joe Walcott here with us this morning. He Is a God-fearing and a family man and a good church member, a good Christian." Resuming his training at Sports mans gym in the afternoon, he brought plaudits from another packed house by flooring Johnny Hubbard, another sparring part ner, with a left hook in the first round. It was the first time In 50 rounds of boxing with Hubbard that he had been able to knock Hubbard off his feet. - , Walcott also went two rounds against, uie rtev. xnompson.
