At his 1954 rate of 3.3 times at bat and 1.2 hits per game, Ted will finish with 380 at bats and 136 hits. But here's the rub. The rule covering batting titles specifies a player must bat at least 400 times officially to be considered as the leader.

This holds true unless he still has the highest percentage after enough hitless at bats have been tacked onto his total to make 400. In Williams' case, it would mean be would be charged with 20 times at bat, making his year's record read: "At bats 400; hits 136; average .340." Williams suffered a fractured collarbone in spring training and missed the first month of the campaign. Andrews Meets Hughes In Bout Chicago, Sept. 8.

oOBtziD tIEI iBEZiO cCLtB Palo Alto, Sept. 8. (P) The world of football mourned today the passing of Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner, the old gray wizard of the gridiron. Warner, the great coach, inventor of plays and contributor to the development of the game which occupied his life, was years old when he died here shortly after noon yesterday, after months of illness with cancer of the throat. From across the nation, past and present greats in the gridiron world sent condolences and voiced heartfelt tributes to the incomparable old man.

Perhaps Ernie Nevers, former Stanford All -America fullback vhom Warner said was the greatest player he ever coached, best i i mmmea up me general jeeimK. "He was the greatest, that's declared Nevers. "He could fix a brace better than the doctor; he had more psychology than the trainer; he had more energy than the student manager and as for football, no one knew as much as Pop." Born in Springville, N.V., and raised on a ranch near Wichita Falls, Warner intended to be a lawyer and was graduated with a law degree from Cornell in 1894. But law couldn't hold him. Football player and coach at Cornell, he was captain of the team in and he was fascinated with the game.

After a few months of law, he began a grid coaching career which lasted for 47 years of developing! winning teams, new plays and great players. He coached at Carlisle Indian School, University of Pittsburgh, Stanford University and others. He was advisory coach at San Jose State College as his last official connection with the gridiron. In addition to- Ernie Nevers, Pop developed the great Jim Thorpe and Charles (Chief) Bender, old time baseball pitching great. Tribute began to flow yesterday as soon as Warner's death was announced.

Today men who had known him in all stages of his career had added their bit to the record of the illustrious coach. Amos Alonzo Stagg, one of the all-time football greats himself, who still is active at V2 as advisory coach at Stockton College, said: "Pop was a great leader in football and one of the excellent creators. He was not just a coach but helped develop part of the game." Funeral services, under the au spices of the Masonic lodge, will bi held tomorrow at 3 p. m. at thei T.

There's a lot to Rocky Marciano as a fighter which not too many people know about. The man who takes liie championship away from Rocky will have to take a machine gun and empty it into him.

Rocky knows what that title means. It took him from being a guy without any money in his Brockton neighborhood right to the top. It means he can have dinner with the President and be somebody real big. It means his family ain't going to be broke at any time. Another thing that makes Rocky tough to beat is the fact that he don't like to lose at anything.

Something a lot of people don't notice i Rocky's ability to change his stylo, even in the middle of a fight. If the other guy begins to stop what Rocky's doing, my boy can do something else and bomb him out. Rocky was going bad for the first five rounds or so in the second fight with Roland La Starza. He was head hunting. La Starza was making him miss and countering all right.

I told Rocky to go to the body more. He went right out and began to wear the guy down with an entirely different type of attack, knocked out La Starza in the 11th Style and the ability to change it. is the biggest thing in Styles make fights. I've been in uie noxing ousiness lor years and that is the number one thing 1 know. Another champion I managed, Lew Ambers, bore this out.

He defended the lightweight championship against Henry Arm strong and for five rounds tni-1 strong knocked my guy around something terrible. 1 pulled Lew off the floor at the end of the fifth and talked to him. I told him be was boxing Armstrong on the outside and pulling back. It was bad. 1 bad him stood on the inside and work with them uppercuts.

He did it, although he had never fought; that way, and gave Henry 31 stitches with that new style. Take this Charles fight coming up at Y'ankee Stadium, Sept. 15. F.zard knows he can't get himself ready for a certain type of fight that Marciano will make. Rocky can show him something new.

In their last fight, I don't think Charles expected to see a left up-percut. But be got a whole series of them.
