Virginia government histori-
cally has been dominated by
rural representation. Urban
communities made their biggest
gain at a special assembly
session in 1852, when North
ern Virginia's representation
jumped from six to the present
total of nine.
A special session had to be
called to do the job because
the legislators never got around
to it at the busy regular ses-
sion at which congressional
districts were realigned. The
State constitution specifically
ties congressional representa-
ton to population.

as Leo Durocher. his former man

sometime that Willie is the pre-
mier baseball player Of this era,
Durocher. now baseball telt-
caster, insists Mays Is the great
est player who ever lived, Many

was the second best hitter in the
majors. His 405 mark was second
only TO Stan Musial OF the St
Louis Cardinals. In 80 games.
Musial was batting, 459, but his
average was receding, while Mays
was on the rise.
Mays was the leader in the
number OF his 900. triples 90,
runs (S5), and tied for first In
home runs uSl and second In

seven home runs (WnHe had hit
only one before the spree) two
triples and one double,
He drove In 10 runs, including
five in each Of two games. He
also smashed the second grand
