Haven’t played since high school but would like to? Well, you had better start getting in shape because the Northern Indiana Flag Football League is currently organizing what may be the best year ever for the area’s only adult football organization. In the past decade the league has encompassed only Saint Joseph and Elkhart Counties, but this year is hoping to include the counties of Marshall and LaPorte, with teams from Plymouth, LaPorte and Michigan City. The league is sanctioned by the United States Touch and Flag Football Association, and has been a member since its inception in 1976. The game is based on a combination of touch and tackle rules featuring nine-man teams, direct handoffs, full contact, but, for safety reasons blocking below the waist is prohibited and a man is downed by the pull of the flag. Teams are composed of 30 players, including playercoaches. For those interested in this recreational opportunity, whether it be playing, coaching or officiating, there will be a meeting at the Valley Bank meeting room in the Town and Country Shopping Center in Mishawaka on Friday, June 22, at 7 p.m. to organize this year’s competition.

SAFETY CORNER BOATING SAFETY Boating is one of America's favorite recreations. Be a safetyconscious skipper—avoid a tragedy. Make sure your craft is seaworthy • Provide each passenger with a personal flotation device • Don’t overload the boat • Distribute the load evenly • Don’t permit unnecessary standing and moving about in a small boat • Watch for obstacles, rocks, other boats, swimmers, etc. • Stay with the boat if it overturns or swamps • Go easy with the drinking. Comment On Sports BASEBALL ’ ‘ ’ By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C. - This year the races in both divisions of both major leagues are so close, and involve so many teams, attendance is likely to set new records. The reputed-to-be toughest division in both leagues, the eastern in the American, is typical of 1979, thus far. Baltimore has led much of the way, with fine pitching (even without George Bamberger), and, of course, Boston and New York are very much in the picture. Milwaukee can’t be counted out as a contender and even Detroit has seemed a potential contender this year, under Les Moss. As June began the Tigers were within 4‘/j games of the leader, and had knocked off Baltimore in a double bill and taken two out of three from the Yankees in one run of eight out of nine. Cleveland is no patsy, either, this year. The western American division is also a scramble. Minnesota, California, Kansas City and Texas are all in it. The Twins are the big surprise. In the National League, Montreal has been the eyeopener, along with St. Louis, in the eastern division. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Chicago are all in the pennant chase here-five of the six teams. And in the National west, Houston has been a surprise, with the Dodgers a disappointment, thus far. But four teams here, also, are possible winners. The Big Red Machine looks good, and San Francisco’s Giants could come through. "A man is free only when he has an errand on earth." Abba Hillel Silver
