Bleacher Shift May Save Ted Williams From Shifting Plans
American League managers weigh a bleacher shift to slow Ted Williams as teams mob the right side of the diamond when he steps up. Williams powers through a .380 season and nine homers, four in late innings, with clutch hits that keep Boston atop the standings amid a crowded pennant race. In daily headlines, Detroit wins gain traction while Cleveland, Chicago, Washington, and St. Louis post wins and solidify their positions in the league race.

Too Many Offers Break Down Prep Grid Star
Clarksville Tennessee. Mac Robinson an 18-year-old high school football star went missing for 16 hours and then was found wandering by his sister in a daze. Doctors say a nervous breakdown was caused by pressure from college scouts hounding him about attending Vanderbilt or Tennessee. He regained consciousness after hours but remained irrational. A search by over a thousand people and bloodhounds from the state prison assisted. The breakdown followed a trip to Nashville with Harvey Robinson, UT assistant coach, who allegedly urged him to reconsider his plan to enroll elsewhere.
