NEW YORK, July 0.-After q
three-day lull In pennant races
while the annual all-star game was
being dispensed with. National

the battle In their respective

Pirates, who still are regarded by
many as potential fIag'winners.
They now are In third place, 5h
games behind the Cubs and 3h

Health Conditions
 This Year Improve
Another Outbreak of Influenza This Year Unlikely
 Reports Metropolitan Insurance Company

New York, N. Y.- Improved health conditions, as the year pro- gresses, have brought the death rate among the l7,500,000 Industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for the year, to the end of April, down to a point only 3.3 per cent higher than that for the same period in 1936. At the end of January, the 1887 death rate was 10 per cent higher than for the same month in 1886. This. according to the insur- ance company saticians, gives indi- cations that health conditions in 1887 may approximate those of last year, which registered the lowest death rate of all time among this important cross-seetion of the gen. eral population.
 Influenza Fatal
 The subsistence of last winters influenza outbreak, largely re- sponsible for the high mortality up to mid-February, is reported, and the statisticians, passing their state- ment on the record of influenza outbreaks in past years, say that another outbreak in 1887 is unlike ly.
 Provisional mortality reports sor the general population of the large cities of the country confirm the record for this insured class. The death rate in New York City, for example, was 12.0 per 1000 at the close of the second week in May. This was identical with the rate for the same period last year. At the end of January, however, the 1887 death rate was 139 per 1000
