Ted's Recall To Service Expected To End Career

By OSCAR FRALEY
New York—(U.P.)-The Marines apparently wrote finis today to the baseball career of slugging Ted Williams.
A captain in the Marine Air Corps reserves, Williams will be recalled to active duty in May. And, barring a speedy release from active duty, close friends feel that he never will return to the major leagues.
For even at best, the 33-year-old Williams does not love baseball as a game. Hitting, yes. But baseball, as a team game, no. Nor does he need it financially any more, a facet which was his greatest spur as a poor boy seeking security.
Baseball, in recent years, has lost whatever appeal it ever did have for him. His batting production faltered, the boos of the crowd jarred him and clubhouse life was ever a stormy session with critical sportswriters who nagged him constantly with needling twewriters
It made of him a Jekyll-Hyde character who was unpredictably edgy and easy by turns. Around baseball men he was charged with being temperamental, touchy, curt, grouchy and insulting. From time to time, all of those descriptions fitted.
Baseball became for him a chore without joy and he missed the fun derived from the scraps, the scrapes and the squabbles by such as the Stankys and the Durochers. Few people understood Williams, and tall Ted didn't care. He was a man alone, and a lonesome one.
Yet in his frequent appearances on the fishbeat he—his real love—he was a different man. Here he was affable and personable, a right nice guy, and he'd sit and chin with all comers.
Williams has talked, and often, of the day when he would retire from baseball. He laid a portion of his future course as early as December
of 1050 when he signed a long-term contract as a consultant with a fishing equipment concern. That assures him of a fine income if and when he calls it quits in baseball.
But even more important, as massive baseball future is concerned in the hope of his recall to duty with the Marine Corps, is his baseball reputation.
