The Giants, a strong contender and the choice o? many to win the National league race hit a slump, dumped a manager, and net haven’t regained the touch. MOVING ON DOWN THE 8 tennis, we see St. Louis, Les Angeles and Cincinnati having a battle royal now for lite next three spots, with the Phillies and Cubs putting on quite a show th nn sc Ives for 7th and Sth. ST LOUIS HAS BEEN GETtmg superb performances out of two ptrformers in particular, one no other than Stan Musial and tn other Lindy McDaniel. Stan was setting on the bench, being used ceeasionaly as a pinch hitte; and so forth and his average was dipping low. Whether it vas the thoughts of manager H. mus or word from the front that a man drawing" Musial s pay and on e who fans pay to sed pi iv wasn't helping much, isn t known But anyway, he was inserted into the lineup ami has h -m a terror ever since He is now pushing .300.

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE has to stop the Yanks. They have a i-al slugging team again with four or five nu-n always a long ball threat. Average wise they have several up with the leaders and the r pitching" is not to be sneezed at. Cleveland is getting pretty good pitching an I have decent hitters although not a group of long ball hitters. BALTIMORE HAS WON THE hearts, of baseball fan swith a very tough brand of baseball. Richards has a pitching staid almost to young to shave, but they are doing quite a job slmving the American league hitters. A run to this hall club is a prtcious thing. The Sox just have not clicked right this year and some of tile heros of last year arc still day dreaming about the pennant they won last year. A big job is ahead of them if they are going anywhere this year. DETROIT HAS HELD FAIR ly close to the top until the past week and still haven't started hitting. It looks like they will rest thia season for next hitting vise as they are the lowest hitting team in both leagues. A great deal of credit goes to the pitching staff that has suffeixd through this. Washington has been a rather interesting team and have caused some trouble despite tile fact they have been plagued with injuiies. Killebrew has been on the shelf for a gov-1 part ot the season and not hitting the long ball when he is in. Kansas City has been a pretty consistent loser because of pitching. Tliey simply give up too many runs to xVin many games. Boston couldn't do anything until the thumper, Ted Williams got off the injury list and began smashing homo runs again. It lias settled their team down, but down is about where they will stay this year. THE OCTLOOK HAS A LOT of good baseball l<Tt and ml it will take to tighten everything is a slump by the leader.". Tills is the thing a team almost expects sometime, but hopes i» nevoi- comes.

Nowadays, the big -hips nie mere sitting ducks foi nr missiles and the like an<l they simply cannot pay off in defense what it costs to keep them runmr«g But the age of the great ships will not . oon be forgotten Onoe the sign of t>emtndous prestige tc the nations of the world, battleships were proud floating fortresses, which serve I at one and the same time to console friendly, less-powerlul nations and warn potential trou-ble-makers what was in store it they dared to < hallenge.

Hitlei's Bismarck. Prxxlu - ed at London's Pinewood Studio, it also brings t' mind the great sea fights m history when British and American men-of-wai not always on friendly teinn. roamed the seven seas. First there was the time n 1588 when Philip II of Spa n collected the "Invincible AiW'l with the direct intention threatening the England of E' .- ’ abeth. The English ships, thoi ;:i smaller than Philip's, were n command of captains who lad long sailed the Spanish Main md knew hew to use their cannon without coming into the large of enemy fire. When the Armada appimi/hed. it was allowed to pass up the channel in a strong gale which later became a storm. Os the 154 Spanish galleons in the force only 54 made the return trip home. The rest were destroyed by the British ships nr by thstorm, to which Elizabeth ascribed the victory. Then there was the C nstitution which got the job d ne for the infant United States in the watery war of 1812. On August 19 of that year, the Con.,' tution debated in battle the Brritish Guerriere and earned f r itself the historic nickname "<>l Ironsides," and years later , much desi'rved rest in the Best n navy yard where it remains lay.
