The Boston Red Sox received word today that left fielder Ted Williams was selected American League Player of the Week for his stellar performance in last week's games. "The Splendid Splinter" took full advantage of all 30 plate appearances last week as he hit .536 with 15 hits, 1 home run, 4 RBIs and 8 runs scored. Williams is batting .288 with 4 home runs and 19 RBIs this season.

It's always a thrill for fans of the team and students of the game alike when a superstar in the making shows what he's got. Eddie Mathews, the Boston Braves 21-year-old third baseman, put himself in the spotlight last week making him the clear-cut choice for National League Player of the Week honors. "Cap'n Eddie" ripped 12 hits in 28 at-bats, compiling a .429 average with 5 home runs and 7 RBIs. So far this season Mathews has hit .293 with 11 home runs, 28 RBIs and and scored 38 times.
