The Columbus Jets have been
fairly well in the Inter
national League where Roches-
ter and Montreal have been
romping along at a fast clip.
The JETS have received good
pitching and fielding but have
been. bothered . Bit by hit
ting. They have been involved
in many one-rvn losses which
could have been turned into
wins - with . little extra
clutch hitting.
However, the Pirates are ex-
pected to send a little more
help down which may prove to
be the difference between a
first division finish and a los
ing season.
The infamous left field fence
in Los Angeles Coliseum has
evoked millions of words of
comment. However, the most
graphic was a story written by
Roy Terrell in Sports Illustrated.
He pointed out that the fence,
the shortest in professional base
ball at $50 feet away from home
plate, is a farce. In the first
nine games in the stadium, 81
per cent of the fly balls hit in
that direction, we're safe hits
compared to 80 per cent in CEN
ter and right field.
Of 20 fly balls hit in left.
only Is were caught, 70 were
homervns and As more were
hits.
His case against the fence,
appears to be a solid one de-
spite the soothing words of
Dodger boss Walter O'Malley
and Baseball Commissioner
Ford Prick.

supposedly punchless Cubs shar-
ed the homerun lead with San
Francisco.
Crowding Chicago for the
lead was another surprise entry,
Pittsburgh team which shar-
ed the lowly seventh position
with the Cubs last season.
And who was resting in the
deepest part of the basement
none other than the st. Louis
Cardinals, a team blessed with
the lusty hitting of the incom-
parable Stan CThe NAM Musial,
who incidentally, was setting
the league Attire with his 500

The Cardinals, Cubs and Pr
ates apparently hadn't been
reading the newspapers or mag
azines. The Cards we're suppos-

run for the money while the
Cubs were relegated to last

He cited statistics to show

that the demand for goods and
