Aboard Worlds Series Special Enroute To Boston. (UP)—Everybody figured today that the kid is about ready to explode.
The kid, of course, is Ted Williams, strangely silent siege gun of the Boston Red Sox busters.
At the moment, the slim guy with the quick, nervous gestures is in an unusually anemic state. In seven official times at bat in the two games of this world series he has clubbed but one weak single for a sickly batting average of .143. This doesn't include two other trips to the plate in which he disgustedly drew walks.
So as they head homeward for the third game of the classic, the Red Sox were waiting hopefully for the kid to erupt. And the rival St. Louis Cardinals were standing by with all the aplomb of a first timer in the maternity ward waiting room. Similarly, they know all this waiting can only go on so long.
With the kid on deck the Cards have been playing them mighty close to their vest. For the first time in world series history they pulled practically all of their team over to the right side—where Williams always hits—to plug all possible base hit loopholes.
It wasn't their own idea but something they were quick to snap up from the harried American league. Lou Boudreau, manager of the Cleveland Indians, devised it first during regular season play and it proved about as effective as anything can be against a Williams' drive.
When Ted tees off on a ball it isn't like an ordinary grounder in which the infielders have a chance to take a few steps. He wallops and if you aren't directly in front of it the ball rockets through into the outfield for a base knock. There really is that much power in his drives.
So' Cleveland came up with the "Boudreau Shift" in which only the right side of the infield is protected. Manager Eddie Dyer of the Cardinals uses a "Modified Boudreau Shift" in which he leaves shortstop Marty Marion in position but pulls Whitey Kurowski from third base to the normal second base position. He thus provides, additional support in the slot between first and second, Confusing, yes, but effective.
Because sizzling liners which ordinarily would have gone through for base hits have been halted twice on the kid.
It's a great tribute to the hitting ability of the Boston blaster. But it also is a deserved one for just watching Williams go up to the plate having his big bat you can feel the latent power.
During the first two games of the series at St. Louis he got but that one single. Yet a lackadaisical Cardinal crowd sat up watchfully whenever the kid stopped at the bat rack. Every vicious swing produced a high which echoed throughout the stands and when they got him out the fans sent up a greater roar than the landlord when you're two weeks overdue.
There's no doubt that the kid has that indefinite something known as crowd appeal. And neither is their any question but what there are a lot of base hits in his bat—including high flying ones which even the "Boudreau Shift" won't be able to stop.
Everybody is simply waiting for the law of averages to catch up, and the all-around hunch is that it won't be too long.

Brecheen Was Sharp-Shooting Indian To Beat Red Sox
St. Louis.—This here World series is gettin serious.
The Cardinals blowed one heaven-
high on a-Sunday and then came
back to take the second game from
them. Red Sox
BY DIZZY DEAN
It was that cat guy which done her—Harry the Brecheen. You should a-saw the way that guy was a-smokin em in there. And like that wusnt enuf, what does the man go and do but whop in this own winnin run. Del Rice set up the scene with a round-horse double to begin off the second innin.
Then up come lol. Harry cat-like.
I remember when he was a pitcher for them same Cardinals. I used to clutch-lit once onct in a time too. Well, Harry done it this time. He slicked a clean one out into right center, provin what I always said that pitchers can hit if they set there mind to it.
Wusnt nothin wrong with Boston today a few solidbase nocks couldnt a-cured. Them guys jest couldn't fetch the cat Brcheen. Very seldom anybody can when he's a feelin like himself.
And them Red Sox busted a couple of bow strings tryin to hit his arrow.
He's from Broken Bow-Okla
