International Ottawa 6-l Toronto 5-6. NEW YORK, May 16 -The slugger who missed the first 15 games of the season with a fractured shoulder awed a crowd of 12,957 by pounding out five singles, a double and two horns runs. Williams scored three' times and knocked in seven runs. Hits to AU Fields The lanky, 6-foot-3 outfielder as fidgety as ever in the field, waving his arms In windmill fashion and nervously walking around In short circles hit singles to left, right and center in the first game. After his third safety he was replaced by pinch-runner Jim Piersall in the seventh inning.

Williams was taken out in the eighth inning of the nightcap after having a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate. There was doubt that Williams, who played for the first time In Baltimore Saturday, batting twice without a hit, would be able to play the second game. Vie had said his shoulder pained Les Moss and. Vera Stephens the world. Camera couldn knock out his grandmother on the level, but a long string of knockout victories was arranged for him and he eventually won the top, ring title the world has to offer, MAN FROM CHATEAU-THIERRY WO More recently, however, fighters from overseas have had marked success and it is no longer a necessarily bad rap in boxing to have been born on the other side, Just the other night on your television screen you probably saw Jacques Royer, a Frenchman, astonish the fight mob by getting and earning a unanimous decision over Ralph (Tiger?) Jones, who was such a prohibitive favorite that the promoters were actually fearful that the match might blow up on them.

The papers rapped the match in advance, and justly so, for Mons. Royer had been a loser in nine of his last 11 starts, mostly against nobodies. Royer must have given a nostalgic feeling to thousands of viewers who are old enough to have fought in France with the AEF in World War I. This Frenchman comes from Chateau-Thierry, the scene of one of that war's most important engagements. Royer had become so discouraged that he was about to return to France.

Garcia, working the second game, won by 6-0 after the Tribe took the opener, 12-7.

A fourth-inning single by shortstop Joe DeMaestri spoiled Garcia's bid for a no-hitter. The Indians' big righthander, hurling his third victory against Saddler, fighting over the weight in a non-title match, takes on Hoacine Khalfi, Algerian light 2-1. only a 32-point advantage over his runnerup. Snead's runaway into the left field stands off McDonald, to lead off the eighth. Moss drove in three runs with a double and two singles.

Then, in a dramatic, Hollywood-type setting in the eighth inning, he drove a two-run homer off the front of the right field roof.
