Slaughter stood out from other players because of his intense desire to win. Enos came out of Roxboeo, iN.C.), where his father had a 90-acre farm. He built his muscle chopping wood and milking cows.

His baseball desire, no doubt, came from his Dad who had played semi pro ball. So wlien Enos went to work for a mill in Durham he did so in order to play on the mills baseball team. That was the start of an outstanding career, The turning point of Slaughters career came, he admits, in 1936 during his days at Columbus, Ga. His manager was Eddie Dyer. Slaughter says he was having trouble at the plate, swinging at too many bad balls.

His average was very low. "I became depressed, said Slaughter. "I was moping in from the outfield to the bench.

The last Celtics loss in the Garden was on Nov. 25, a 123-113 affair dropped to the Philly Warriors. The Celtics have now taken six in their last eight. The Celtics fastbreaking forced the Nats, trying to match them, to lose possession 20 times over the'" first three periods resulting in 13 Boston points.

Over the same period, the Celts gave yp possession without a shot but nine times, for eight Syracuse old Ted. All that remains now is whether he feels his legs will stand the gaff. However, Ted can rest assured that he will not have to play regularly and his duties will be limited mostly to pinch hitting. In recent years Teds biggest peeves have been double headers and night games. He can forget them both.

Williams return will come as good news to American League owners who are mindful of the big fellows gate appeal. Several executives have told us that Teds presence in the park would mean thousands more, attendance in the league throughout the season. There is no denying the Williams appeal. Ted undoubtedly will be on hand for Spring training in Scottsdale come March. Perhaps he will use this period as a testing board to determine if he can stand another season.

Williams last season proved himself an exceptionally potent pinch hitter. This was a new role for him, but one that he seemingly enjoyed. Ted denied there was anything wrong with his legs. A published report said his ankle was getting cranky again. It couldnt be, said Ted, havent done any running.
