You see all kinds of signs on a trip, especially on a vacation
trek in Florida. For instance there is a motel at Daytona named
“Just Lazy.” And a highway sign stated near Silver Springs;

That will be Banner Night and
the Braves and WSB radio will
give prizes for the best ban
ners. They don’t have to be
fancy, it is originality which
counts.
.After the Mets, the powerful
Pirates visit on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. The Pirates are
leading the league in hitting and
have been in first division all
the way this year.
There will be no easing of
the pressure, for after the Pi
rates come the Phillies who have
been playing good baseball and
are anxious to gain revenge for
a series of defeats administered
by the Braves earlier in the
year. Then come the Dodgers
June 24, 25 and 26 and the
Braves haven’t beaten them this
year.
Winding up the homestand will
be the Chicago Cubs. Leo Dur
ocher’s boys gave the Braves
fits in their last meeting, so the
Braves are looking forward to a
return match.

Cubs And Red Sox Lead LL
As Season Nears End
By Mike Lassiter
(Little League Reporter)
With two-thirds of the season
over the Red Sox seem capable
of winning the Minor League pen
nant while the Cubs, Trojans
and Yankees are still in a battle
in the Major League. The Cubs
have a good shot at the pen
nant because the Trojans and the
Yankees have to play each other
twice before the season ends. The
Cubs have been getting balanced
hitting from the first team and
excellent pitching from Bruce
Lynch and Kim Austin. The Tro
jans, only 1/2 game out of first
place need a little better hitting
to win. They have five good
pitchers making it hard for the
opposing team to hit against them.
Their four tie games may cost
them though. The Yankees, only
a game out, are tough too. They
have three good pitchers and a
couple of good hitters. Their
good fielding makes them a good
team.
The Rams have surprised by
breaking even so far and they
can cost any of the first three
teams the pennant. Their field "
is erratic, as is their pitching ”
but on a given night they Can
beat anybody. The Braves all
of a sudden have come to life
with good hitting and pitching.
For a while it looked like they
might not win a game. They
are still bad in the field though.
The cardinals have turned into
a team that needs one consis
tent hitter and pitcher to go
places. They don’t have those
two Items and the last third
