BASEBALL HAS JJST PASSED the one-third mark in the two major leagues. In this time, a- usual. there have been some surprises. The biggest in all baseball tight now would be* the showing of the Yanks over the fi> >t third of the season. The second most suiprising thing would pi tbably be the other pennant winner and world champion o< la-t year, the Cardinals, who also arc finding their share of troubles in 1965 AT THIS WRITING, THE Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Dodgers pre leading the two leagues, although a current series between Minnesota anil the White Sox could change this immedi-

ately Minnesota's story is power. This sums up their success pretty well as all that is needed with tins modern day murders row is a little better than average pitching. Their explosiveness and ability to break up about any game with a couple swings of the bat. has put them on top. Combine this with some decent pitching and you can understand why they are in first. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE leaders are different. Their success has been on pitching, speed and defense. The Dodgers have been gliding behind the two ace. Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax. Even with their leading hitu •. Tommy Davis, sidelined with »

severe injury, they are still winning games mainly on the pitching and speed of Maury Wills and Willie Davis. This is not all the .speed they have, but more than any team wants to see. CLOSELY BEHIND THE Twins are the White Sox. Their story is known so well in baseball. Good pitching, better than aveiHge defense, a walk, stolen base, wild pitch and passed ball No team in recent years had more advantage of such breaks than the Pale Hose. The Sox do not have that heavy hitting a. club usually has to break open games, but they are holding up on the basis of their pitching. Several teams are then bunched behind these clubs, Cleveland. Baltimore. Detroit. Los Angeles and a little more noise has been heard from the Yankees of late. Every team in the standings" that are ahead of the Yanks are looking over their shoulder whether they are aware of it or not, just to see how fast they are coming. BOSTON AND WASHINGTON follow the Yanks with Kansas City setting about where everyone figured, in last place. The failure of the Yanks to dominate the league is not unusual in the- early season and this year it may just be they won’t all year. However, most teams with the injuries the Yanks have wouldn’t even be where they are today. Tile unusual pait is that the Yanks’ pitching hasn't been that bad. it has been the failure of the hitters to p oduce runs for the hurlers. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IS the usual rat race it always i.-. Pack of the Dodgers comes the rent of the league with only the Mets dropping well into 10th and the Cubs settled presently in ninth. These teams just don't generate winning streaks wit'a the exception of Pittsburgh who came from way down in the basement to win twenty of their last twen-ty-three and have crawled right into the thick pf the battle in the middle of the league. MILWAUKEE HAS SURPRISed many, but with the hitting potential that club has and the good young pitchers who are paying bigger dividends this year, the Braves could be in a very funny spot, a real solid pennant contender with no one in the stajYds to watch them. Their situation from the fan standpoint is ridiculous. It is so bad in fact, that the Braves offered a half million dollars to get out of Milwaukee in the middle of the season. MUCH HAS BEEN SAID •about baseball losing out as the favorite pastime. This is hard to believe as the only stipulation seems to be the fans want a winner. Take the past week end. The Mets drew over 50.000 a couple of times. Detroit had over 50,000 Sunday and already this year, Houston has passed last year’s attendance in their famed dome. Tire Doilgers are packing thmn in like wikifire and any club that is doing well, with the exception of Milwaukee, is likewise running ckay at the gate. Television has cut the crowds in many instances, but still, baseball is going to draw fans all over the major league circuits. WITH THE NEW DR AJ-T that baseball has come up with many interesting sidelines have also sprouted such as "it won’t work", “Best thing to happen' , and about anything else a pei-son would want to hear. The draft is new and if everything does pan out. it could be a great equalizer here the same as in football. The only difference is that in baseball, it generally takes much more time for a player to break into the majors than it does in football The effects might n»>t be seen fur a few yean?, but it lisrks like a big step in the right direition.
