'.713,711pD/!iy,: - I TANUARY 10, 1052 Red Sox' Ted Williams Recalled by Marines BOSTON, Jan. 9—(P)—Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox $lOO,OOO-plus slugger, today was recalled by the U.S. Marines for what is'expected to be at least 17 months of active service. A flying instructor in the corps from 1943.45, Williams has been ordered to report at nearby Squantum for, a physical examin ation April 2. If found physically fit, he will start eight weeks of, reindoctrination training at the Willow Grove Naval Reserve Base near Philadelphia on May 2. • Reports from Washington were that Williams, now 33, is one of several hundred former Marine flyers recalled to provide replace ments for Korean veterans soon to be released from active duty Not In Reserve When the announcement was made Williams was fishing in the, Gulf of Mexico. • Williams, as far as Red Sox General Manager Joe 'Cronin knows, was "not attached to any organized reserve unit. And neith er had he taken any post-war fly ing- training. In Washington a Marine Corps spokesman said Williams would be ranked as a captain and would be. required to serve 17 months, the statutory limit for reserve officers recalled' involuntarily. ' "Williams will be a terrific loss to us, despite the fact we have seven other outfielders," Cronin said. "We had no warning of his recall. He'll be hard to replace, but we'll make the best of it." Contract Mailed "I'haven't heard anything from Williams about this," .Cronin con tinued. "Therefore I do not know his plans. It would appear from his orders that he would be able to start spring practice with us in Sarasota on March 1 and prob ably play the first two weeks of the regular season. But that's up to him." Cronin said that Williams' 1952 contract was mailed from Fen way Park a few days ago. The Red Sox executive refused to give any details about it. It was pre sumed, however, that the .318 batting average Williams com piled in 148 games last season did not warrant a reduction in . his six-figure salary.

PENITsnivANTA Musial Hoping For Thctw on Wage Freeze WASHINGTON, Jan. 9—(l 3 ) Stan - Musial, the National Lea- , gue's top 1951 slugger, came to town to see his old friend Sec retary. of Labor Tobin today— and incidentally, to knock out a solid ground ball to the salary stabilization board. Stan has a problem and so has his boss, Fred Saigh, president of the St. Louis Cards. Under stabilization rules, no ball player can get raised beyond the salary of the top-paid player of his club in 1950. But Stan, five-time National League batting champ who hit .355 last season, is already the Card's top money man. His salary in 1950 was about $50,000 a year. • The Cards gave the Donora, Pa. star a substantial boost last year, reportedly to $85,000. But he has never collected the extra $35,000, because federal r e gul at ions "froze" him at his 1950 salary.

It had to happen to be believed. It came to realization at 3:58 p.m. on Oct. 3 when Bobby Thomson smashed his never-to-be-forgotten home run in the ninth, inning to give the Giants a 5-4 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the National League pennant. The electrifying hit climaxed the most astounding comeback in the history of baseball—a sus tained, determined rall y that brought Leo Durocher's fighting men a pennant after they had trailed the free-wheeling Dodgers by 13 1 / 2 games as late as Aug. 11. And so it comes as no surprise that the Cinderella rise of the Giants was voted the greatest comeback by a team or individual in 1951—a year of amazing oc currences and resurgences.
