Teammates, fans and the physicians hoped Williams would rejoin his fourth-place club before the season ends neither physician could give definite assurance he would be back.

The Red Sox took the news of their lanky slugger's injury in the all-star game as "part of the game" and refused to admit they were out of the pennant race, although eight games behind the front-running Detroit Tigers.

"But it was in the elbow that I noticed the pain." Williams said the pair, didn't bother him too much until he left the game at the end of eight innings.

But then, he said, it started to ache and by the time he boarded a plane for Boston he had to keep it perfectly still and even then it throbbed. Although Williams batting average is low for him at .321, he is up with the leaders in other departments. He is tied with Cleveland's Al Rosen in homers with 25; tied with Teammate Walt Dropo in RBI's with 83; and leader in runs scored with 76. He also has 22 doubles, one fewer than league leader George Kell of Detroit, In suffering the bone fracture, Williams became the second outstanding player to suffer a major injury in the All-Star games, which started in Chicago in 1933.

Louis Cardinals suffered a broken BY JOE LEVINE tutted Frcaa Sparta Writer Boston, July 11 (UP) Ted Williams, $100,000 worth of baseball material, underwent a successful operation on his fractured left arm today while three mournful members of a 'knot-hole" gang fidgeted in a hospital reception room. "We expect good results from the operation and we don't expect a second will be necessary," said Dr. Ralph McCarthy, team physician for the Boston Red Sox, who assisted in the hour and 15-min-ute surgery at a Cambridge hospital. "With Williams out the Red Sox ain't got a chance," gloomily chorused Jimmy Walker, 11, and his 10-year-old twin chums, George and Jimmy Clancy, who had waited since 9 a.m. to hear the results.

After being given a look at Williams, still unconscious from the anesthetic, the three boys shuffled disconsolately away as Dr. McCarthy exhibited seven fragments of bone taken from the ball players arm by Chief Surgeon Joseph H. ShortelL "It was a very successful operation," continued Dr. McCarthy. "We hope we may ever length of time that may be until the war outlook brightens percepti-ly or the North Koreans are chased tight over into Siberia.

"It is prettytough lack for him and the ball club, but there is nothing we can do about it," the Boston pilot added. Johnny Pesky's comment was typical among the Sock-ers, "Gee, that's tough for Williams and certainly tough for all of us, but these things happen and we simply will have to battle all the harder."

This is the big game of the if ifaA day as the Majors return to fam ily feuding after the All btar melodrama, although an important series opens tonight also at Yankee Stadium. Cleveland's Indians, a game into service within weeks or months?" That is the general tempo and you may expect to read fewer and fewer stories about "Home Run" 13, the Chisel Switch, grade school ace, receiving $50,000, a baby grand piano for sister, a washing machine for mama and a Cadillac for pop, to sign a contract with the Tigers or the Indians or the Reds. Or "Quadruple No-Hit" McGonicle, 16, of Too Nigh, high school, coming into $75,000 and a baby carriage for his infant brother and a bazooka for grandpop to affix his signature to a Yankee or a Phillie or a Red Sox pact.

Those lush days appear to be 6ver. I don't mind seeing the big leaguers pay out some of their excess profits, if any, to the younger fry but in view of the situation today it would be sensible economy to forget the bonus business. At least, until the outlook is a great deal clearer. To be sure, there are some young athletes who are married or who might be rejected for service because of certain physical deficiencies. But they would be few and, far between.

And most physical handicaps In young boys would probably have a bearing on their future athletic ability. How Will Bosox Fare Without Ted? Ted Williams is out for a month, Or maybe the season, because of a spectacular fly-ball robbery he executed on Ralph Kiner in the All-Star game. That could wreck the Bosox chances for the pennant which were not to say roseate anyway. As of now Boston is in fourth place, eight games behind the lead. A year ago, about this time, the Bean-eaters were 8 games astern and they staged a great drive, barely missing out for the flag.

But without their ace maceman their cause doesn't look too bright. And yet, you have to remember what the Yankees accomplished last year with Joe DiMaggio missing out of the first 60-odd games. Oftentimes a club, with its No. 1 star absent, plays inspired ball and doesn't miss him at all. It could happen to the Bosox.

What About The Working Man? The Sun Sox have taken a one-up edge over the rival Flamingos in the 1950 season's torrid battle of giveaways to everybody. H. B. Taber's hired hands will have this lead sewed up Saturday night when they give away free frangipani perfume to each of the first 1,000 femmes entering Miami Stadium. Earlier this season it was a box of candy.

The Flamingos had a temporary lead and a spectacular one when they gave 600 orchids tothe damsels. Incidentally, the Orchid Night idea was so successful Taber may borrow it later this year. What this corner would like to know, however, is when someone is going to take Into consideration the poor, neglected male? It's getting so the only reason a man goes to the ball park Is to see a ball game. Can that be right in this delirious age?
