0 atti n £5 §§1‘-'A1_)n1='A, Fla. (AP)—American ;,,.gue president Will Harridge mapped into the Ted Williams-no helmet controversy Tuesday by notifying the league’s umpires he wearing of protective head- gear by all players is mandatory. This may force a showdown over whether Williams, great Boston Red Sox slugger, will don iprotective helmet or what ex- ictly constitutes is "protective device” for a batter.
‘ Williams has refused to wear a helmet. He has said: “I’m not going to wear one of those space helmets. It bothers my hitting.” However, Williams, who led the majors in batting last year yith a .388 average, advises other players to Wear helmets.
NOTIFY MANAGER
f‘If a player appears at bat without a protective device or Ielmel. you are not to order him oflthe field,” Harridge said in a bulletin to league umpires. “In- stead, you are to inform the man- ner of the team that the player 15 ‘Improperly attired’ and also report the matter to the league president."

What happens then was not made clear.
The league passed a headgear rule at meetings last December. The Red Sox dissented because general manager Joe Cronin knew Williams wouldn’t go for it. The rule already is on the Na- tional League books. ’ ‘ Before Harridge issued his Bul- letin, Cronin said there will not be any trouble over the rule. CAP PROTECTION ENOUGH
“The rule merely states a player ‘mu st wear protective headgear. Well, a.s far as the Red Sox are concerned, the ordinary baseball cap will constitute enough protection around the head."

Bombers After
TORONTO (CP)—When Toronto Maple Leafs sent a posse to flush a fellow named James out of the West they got more than they ex- pected.
They’re amazed. And frus- trated.
The James wasn't Jesse. He was Gerry, alias the football full- back with Winnipeg Blue Bomb- ers, who has developed into one of Leafs’ few redeeming features in the current National Hockey League season. 3
Leafs figured James would help them in the brawn department
with little hope of making a Stan- ley Cup playoff position.
Leafs are frustrated because Gerry still insists football is his future. Hockey, for the time being anyway, is a mere sideline for cash.
Toronto is o a c h Billy Reay sounded out James on his career last week. James gave the same old reply.

Leafs were interested in James’ muscle. James wanted Leaf dol- lars.
“At first I thought the rest of team was so bad it made‘ him look good,” says Stafford Smythe, acting manager. “But now I’m certain he’s as good as he looks. The biggest mistake this club ever made was in letting him get away to football for the sake of $2,000.”

Leafs lined him up after the. 1957 football campaign and Gerry was sent to Rochester, a Toronto farm team in the American League, to get in shape. He moved up to Leafs three weeks ago. '
“They told me he couldn’t skate,” said Reay. “But I can’t see anything wrong with his skat- ing. They said he couldn’t score, but he got two goals in his first four games.
“He works hard and checks hard and by making the opposi- tion look for him, he has helped Billy Harris (James’ centre) get untracked agiain.”

Durelle, 28, fought the 23-year- old Anthony to a draw in Detroit last June 14. Many in the etroit crowd figured that Durelle was the winner and the draw was a raw decision. -

“Anthony will be hard to cat-ch this time—»he’ll be trying to get away,” said Durelle. “But no matter, he’ll have to stop and fight sometime.

Durelle went to his hotel after finishing his workouts, scowling at the inactivity and restless at big-city living, which he doesn’t like,

“Give me Baie _Ste. Anne any time,” said Durelle, who owns a fishing fleet in that New Bruns- wick centre. “I can't ‘wait to get the fight finished and get out of this place.’
