headed this year for Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox perhaps me most remarkable youngster Unless he stumbles somewhere along the short stretch that remains of this campaign Ted appears fairly certain to lead the American League In home runs runs batted In and batting average out In front to each of these departments now with little Williams has a big edge on more than five weeks to go Joe DiMaggio in runs batted in an apparently safe margin over Joe Gordon in batting average and a thinner advantage over Chet Laabs and Charley Keller in homers Only four two in each major league have ever won the triple since the three-way competition began in 1920 when records were first on runs knocked across the plate They are Jimmy Foxx in 1933 and Lou Gehrig 1934 Chuck Klein in 1933 and Rogers Hornsby in 1922 and 1925 And Williams will be the youngest In age and In service in the league ever to win the triple Ted is only 23 and this is his fourth semester In the big time Babe Ruth

better than 400 Furthermore he copped the home run as well as the batting average championship And Ted was only five runs behind DiMaggio the winner In RBI This may well be his last year for due for military service soon and there may be no career for him after the war Of modern-day player no one except Joe DiMaggio can boast of a better all-round offensive record during his first four years Pete
