THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17. 1957 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Ted Captures Hitting Title NEW YORK W - Thumpln' Ted Williams, an old hand at win ning American League slugging championships, grabbed his ninth crown in 1957 with a lusty .731 average highest in the majors in 16 seasons. Statistics compiled by The As sociated Press , showed the Boston Red Sox' outfielder accumulated 307, total bases in 420 at bats. Not since Williams won his first slug ging title in 1941 with a .735 av erage has any player in either league exceeded that mark. The 1957 National League slug ging championship went to Willie Mays of the New York Giants for the third time. The flashy out fielder accounted for 366 total bases in 585 trips for a .626 per centage! Slugging averages are arrived at by - adding the total bases on all hits (one for a single, two for a double etc.) and dividing the total by the number of official times at bat. The 39-year-old Williams, who also took the league batting title with a' .388 average, collected 163 hits. His total base output includ ed 28 doubles, one triple and 38 home runs. After Williams won his first slugging derby he repeated in 1942, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951 and 1954. He served two hitches in service during the Second World War and the Korean conflict. Mays, the slugging leader in 1954 and 1955, hit safely 195 times. Among his extra base production were 26 doubles, 20 triples and 35 homers. s Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees, the ; American League slugging champ in 1955 and 1956, ranked second to Williams with a .665 average. Washington's Roy Sievers, the league home run pace-setter with 42, finished third with .579. The St. Louis Cards' Stan Mu sial, a six-time slugging leader, was runnerup in the National League with a .612 mark. Milwau kee's Hank Aaron, who had the most total bases in either league, wound up third with .600. Kenyon Wins Grid Contest "Two" must be the lucky num ber for Francis Kenyon, 730 Mitch ell.

STEVENS DOUBLE Al 50 Chicago Bears 'Must Win' Against Los CHICAGO (UP) - The Chicago, Bears, defending champions of the National Football League's West ern Division, have played only three games, but already they've reached the stage where Sunday's contest is a must win or wait for next year. The Bears lost their first three starts. "Now we can't afford to lose any more." Coach Paddy Driscoll said. "Not and expect to win. If we can win all of them, we still have an outside chance to win the title." Driscoll naturally was perturbed over three straight defeats for vir tually the same team which last year swept to seven straight wins against the same competition, but he had an explanation for it. "We haven't been at full strength." he said. "We went to Green Bay for the opener with all our personnel, but we lost (Larry) Strickland, our offensive center, on the 4th or 5th play, and we've been crippled ever since." Others on the injury list were all three left halfbacks, Willie Galimore, Perry Jeter and Bobby Watkins, and a defensive lineman, M.L. Brackctt. "We'll have Galimore back for the whole game Sunday," Driscoll said. "He's had a pulled muscle, but he should be all right. And Jeter will be back too, although he's still got a bruised leg." losing nis naltbacks. Paddv added, meant a double burden on fullback Rick Cesares, who has had a miserable start this season after leading the league in rush ing last year.

Germany (TJP)- Russia, still disappointed because its male track and field athletes won only three gold medals in the l!b6 Olympics, has launched an all-out drive to out-jump and out throw Americans at the 1960 games in Rome. The state-supported Russians, so confident of victory in many events that they ordered inscribed cakes hours in advance for a con templated victory party, watched in vain as the united States won IS of the 24 gold medals. Russian officials warned ath letes, coaches and trainers that things must change. Pravda, the official Communist Party organ, charged that Russian athletes "were lazy, tired and had no fighting spirit at all." "We must look for new ways to break the deadlock," Pravda con cluded, i The "new ways" started with a purge of several ranking coaches and trainers. Many athletes and clubs were told to do better or risk loss of privileges." The latest step in the new of fensive was the introduction of a program to raise Russian track and field to the level of that In the United States. -Main points of this program: 1. Athletes cannot train hard the year round but must have some periods of rest. 2. There will be much greater emphasis on the development of young athletes. 3.
