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.

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."

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.
We haven t looked like the
same club we had in the exhibi

played good football. If we'd

Russia Launches Track Drive
To Down U.S,
FRANKFURT. 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. State owned factories will ar
