THE MAJOR LEAGUE PENa.it races are heading Into the name stretch. With the season one race is evident and the other agile is a lopsided run-a-way. -Of course, the National League .- the one that is tight as several chibs will be giving it all they got for the remaining weeks to try and get in the World Series, while the Ameroan League teams face the very jiaid task of playing try to catch tne leaders.

put the leagu. on its ear with , their tremendous 12-game lead. । They continually stretched this lead from a few games until they had grabbed an almost unsurmountable margin. A combination of evei thing hit the oth- । er clubs and Baltimore has had almost everything going for . them as they just continue to roll. Probably the main thing is the tremendous comeback of [ John "Boog” Powell as his bat has made Frank and Brooks Robinson's bats all the more dangerous. Also the tremendous

lift Baltimore has received from their young pitvmis has aided their record tremendously to date. 1) E T R O I T LOOKED TO h :ve a chance to battle Baltimore all the way. They have recently been plagued with injuries and the complete failure of their starting pitchers have made them jus* another team for ’he time being. Cleveland seemed to just fall apart when Sain McDowell ran into arm trouble again and their entire team let down. The California Angels have been playing well, but talent-wise they still are just a little short of what is needed for' a pennant winner. MINNESOTA HASN’T LIVED up to their pre-season expectations .and their pitching has also been a big letdown. With the exception of Jim Kaat, they have not had too much to talk about pitching wise and the big bats haven’t been booming as consistently as they did last year in their pennant wanning season. Chicago needs hitting. It has been proven that their pitching just can't stem the gap and some bad defensive lapses this year have also cost them. The Yankees just haven’t come back. Mantle’s physical condition just hasn’t been enough to carry them and others haven’t been delivering in the old Yankee tradition. Their pitching has suffered much, especially when Whitey Ford has had so much trouble and has recorded- only one win to date. IT WAS FIGURED THAT the last three teams would be Washington. Boston and Kansas City, not particularly in that order, but all at the bottom. This is apparently true, but even these teams are causing a lot of trouble and Kansas City did crawl as high as sixth place for a while before a recent swoon again Boston needs pitching badly and Washington has to get their team playing together better. When thev score runs, they give up runs. When the pitching is good, they don’t get a lot of runs. IN THE N A T I O N A L League, several teams were picked prim to the season to be fight in" it out. This is still holding true, but the tremendous hitting of the Pittsburgh Pirates with the performances of two young pitchers. Blass and Fryman, have really boosted the Buccos to serious contention. You just don’t hold this team down an I if their pitching holds up. look out. San Francisco has to be contended with. With Marachail and Perry pacing the pitching corps and Willie Mays, McCovey, Hart and Haller doing the batting duties, they have to be tough. They need more consistency to get the job done, but don't count them out. LOS ANGELES STILL HAS a wonderful pitching staff headed by Sandy Koufax. If Drysdale could return to form to help Koufax and Osteen. Sutton and their relievers can come through, they have to he contended with. They have enough pitching to carry them. Philadelphia has an old pitching staff they are now getting good mileage from, but need some timely hitting to get the runs home. THE REST OF THE LEAGUE is falling to a point where they have to play catch up and pass with fom- teams, not one to get the job done. Passing one isn't nearly as difficult as passing four.

St. Louis and Cincinnati somewhat of a disappointment, it has cut the crowd down around the top. Even the Mcts have erased the tag as an easy opponent and are currently riding well above the Cubs who are in the basement. The Chicago situation may not be as bad as it seems as the Cubs have a lot of young players but figure to be a couple years away yet as they make a lot of mistakes and need a lot of pitching. BASEBALL IS SiILL THE Number one attraction in the summer and much more good ball will be played all over the country before this year’s penant races are over.
