Ted Williams, Jet Pilot,
Released From Marines,
May Return to BoSox
WASHINGTON, UP — Ted Wil
liams, star outfielder for the Bos
ton Red Sox, was released from
active duty with the Marine Corps
today. He said he’d probably show
up in Fenway Park tomorrow.
The 34-year-old outfielder, who
has been flying jet planes in
Korea, went through the formality
of signing a few papers at the
naval gun factory and then was
freed for active duty on another
front—the baseball diamonds of
the American League.
“I’m anxious to help if I can
swing a bat,” Williams told re
porters.
Just when he would return to
the line-up in which he was a star
batter before being recalled to
duty with Marines, Williams said
he did not know.
“After all,” he said with a
laugh, “I don’t even know if they
want me or not.”
