club most of the season with some real lusty hitting paving their way. Dick Williams has d< ne a very fine job with the help of Sal Maglie. getting a young pitching staff to give them a good job. in supporting the hitting: The California Angles at the start c4-the season couldn't win a game, but the past month they have totaled something like 26 wins in 34 outings and have zoomed from last place to fourth, only 4' 2 games behind the league-leading Chicago White Sox They too, have been getting good hitting in this period after a session of almost no hitting at all. The trade that brought Jimmy' Hall and Don Mincher to the club for Dean Chance, has put a lot more potential in the line-up. SOME OTHER SURPRISES are also evident, probably the biggest being the lack of steadiness by the Baltinmre Orioleand Los Angeles Dodgers. Everyone exp-< ted Baltimore to almost run away with things again this year, but it Would be asking too much for all the players to have years like they had last season. A slacked off Brooks Robinson. Curt Blefrey and John Powll have hurt the run producing of the Orioles and the fact that inconsistency has hit the young pitching staff has added to the woes of manager Hank Bauer. LOS ANGELES KNEW THEY were losing the best active pitcher in baseball when Sandy Koufax hung up the glove. However. the fact that they hav. suffered nr re of a collapse than expected with the loss of the great lefthander, has been a surprise to more than one. The main thing seen , t-. be a moral item a the t< am ewdentlv depended just to., mu< h on this great hurler to ionic in every fourh or fifth game and give them that real fine pitching

effort. PITCHING IS THE NAME of the game as many say and to this point, it could hardly be disputed. The Chicago White Sox are still leading the American League pack with almost no hitting at all. Pitching, speed and the other teams mistakes have given them the left they needed t<> win ball games. The Sox take advantage of every mistake and time and time again, have made one, two or three runs hold up for a victory. Just how long this picture cun do this kind of a job is debatable, but to date it has made the difference, ST. LOUIS HAS BEEN AT the top of the National league for some time now this has been through the fine pitching they have received and some real timely hitting by most of the members of the ball club. Orlando Cepeda is having a fine year and Lou Block carried the club with his bat for a long time. They seem to have a great desire and this means as much as pitching and hitting in many key spots. THE RACE IS A LONG WAY from over, but much has been determined by this time. Each club can see their stronger points and work in this direction for the rest of the season. It looks like several clubs will have a good shot at the pennant in both leagues. In the American league, the White Sox, Detroit, Minnesota. Boston and even California has to be considered and still no team has written Baltimore off with the personnel they have. A good hot streak by any team could give them the lead in this league. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IS chasing the Cardinals. The Cubs young pitching staff is still doing good, but they will have to jell again after the slump to remain a contender. Cincinnati. Atlanta and San Francisco aren't out of it by any means and the Phils have a habit of putting together good streaks. Pittsburgh still seems to be a tension - torn team that if they Could settle down to playing baseball again on a serious basis, could make another move that could put them right up with the pack. THE BEST IS YET TO COME and with the interest generated by the first half of the pennant races, this could be quite a finish and a very profitable one for the chibs. Nothing helps draw people like some real (lose battles for the title and to date, every evidence of this is present. DID I SEE RIGHT ON SATurday night ' It looked like a football being thrown arotin 1 quite a bit in Atlanta. Yes, thi start of fooball is here and even though it doesn't seem possible at this early date, the pro teams are setting up their camps and getting ready for their season.

The emergency medical identification card should note special problems that need immediate attention in an emergency or that could cause an emergency. For example, diabetics must be identified so that a person in diabetic coma will get proper treatment promptly and needed doses of insulin will not be overlooked during treatment for injury. The need for certain medicines must be known. Heart patients taking drugs to prevent blood clots may bleed profusely if injured unless they receive special care. Other people are sensitive to certain drugs and must never take them. Epileptics could be saved much trouble and unnecessary hospitalization if they carried a card indicating that they may have seizures. Neck breathers (those who breathe through a tube surgically inserted below’ their ‘‘Adam's apple" I mus be recognizable to protect them from smothering. An emergency medical identification kit may be obtained by addressing Box C. Emergency Medical Association, American Medical Association, 535 N. Dearborn St.. Chicago, 111. 60610. Single kits are free on request. The kit contains two identification cards, a pamphlet describing the universal symbol, and a list of manufacturers of signal devices bearing this symbol.
