It was 22-2 at the end of the first period. "With S. M.

"I wouldn't necessarily say that the Yankees will repeat as American League champions," said Raschi, who spends the off-season here working on a bachelor of science degree at the college of William and Mary.

"We'll know more about that after spring training starts. We hope we will that's understood. "But I will say that this will be another four-team race Between Boston. andthe Yankees. That's all the American League really is a four-team bat tle."

Already signed to a new Yankee contract, Rachi predicted, too, that "I think I'll have a great year, i feel confident that if I get to pitch regularly. I can win plenty of games. I've been working out some since I came here last September and have been trying to gain some weight." Rachi didn't hesitate to put me flneer on Ted Williams as "the toughest guy I ever pitched to."
