...League, Williams (no kin to Ted) wasted little time letting the Sox know who was boss when he reported for work this spring. "My job is to get togetherness on this ball club," he announced. "If these guys don't hustle, they're in trouble." Williams fined Slugger Conigliaro $1,000 for missing a bed check. He benched Third Baseman Joe Foy for being overweight, First Baseman Scott for striking out too often. By last week he seemed satisfied that his Sox had caught the proper spirit.

Roger Maris, 31, the second half of the M. & M. twins who tore the league apart a few years ago, sat out 116 games last year because of injuries. He seems healthy enough now, but his batting...
