rAGE SrX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1953 Williams Returns To Fenway Park Boston Star Plans To Get in Shape To Be in Lineup for Last Six Weeks KILL OR CURE: Cleveland Hopes Ride on Yank Series CAME 8 mm m n WASHINGTON-(RP-,The Ma- rine Corps yesterday ordered Ted Williams back to Fenway Park, and baseball's most celebrated citi- zen set out for Boston to resume his twice-interrupted career. "I'm anxious to get back in the lineup," Williams told a crowded news conference. * * * HE FLEW 38 combat missions in Korea before returning to the United States. The 34-year-old Boston Red Sox outfielder looked in the peak of condition as he received his deactivation orders from Ma- rne Col. Kenneth B. Chapell. Williams said he's rusty and that he doesn't know when he'll return to the lineup, but you got the idea it won't be far off. THE FORMER Capt. Williams said he was driving to Boston and would confer today with Joe Cro- nin, general manager of the Red Sox. "After all," he said, "I don't even know if they want me or not." The Marines released Williams more than two months before the date he was due to go off active duty. That was because doctorsin Korea decided an ear and nose ail- ment rendered him useless as a combat pilot. THE AILMENT isn't going to hurt him as a baseball player. Chances are Williams won't get intothe Boston lineup as a regular player for a couple of weeks, but he should be ready for heavy duty during the last six weeks of the season. Williams went into the Marines in World War II, missing the 1943, 1944 and 1945 campaigns. He got back in 1946. NEW YORK -- (IP)--- Cleveland Manager Al Lopez, stubbornly re- fusing to concede the American League pennant to New York, ac- knowledged yesterday that the three-game series with the Yan- kees which started last night could "kill or cure" the Indians' flutter- ing flag aspirations. "If we can sweep the three games, our chances ofhcatching the Yankees will be ellent," Lo- pez said at a news conference. LOPEZ has been pointing for this series for nearly a week. As early as last Thursday he an- nounced that Early Wynn, Bob Lemon, and Mike Garcia would be thrown at the Yankees in the se- ries. In six straight victories over the champions, those three Indi- an pitchers won two each and allowed just 12 runs. "Baseball is a game," Lopez 11 also+ said. "in which luck plays a big chances of overtaking the Yan- part. The Yankees had all the kees, who lead them by eight;PoIaroid luck when they beat us seven games.
