Comment On Sports
By PETE FBITCHIE
Washington, N. C. ? The big
queition in the Major Leagues
right now is whether the Yankeei
and Piratea are going to make It
this year ? aa repeat pennant win
ners.
The Yankees are having their
troubles in the pitching depart
ment and unless they can turn up
with some help in that category,
they might not be in first place?
for a change.
The Pirates are not as hot as
they were last year. Even Bob
Friend has been thrown in, in re
lief, of late, but the Pirates are
not getting away from the pack
like they did in 1960. It'a a combi
nation of a lot of things. For one
thing, the Giants, Dodgers and
Beds are hotter.
The Bedlegs are the surprise of
the senior circuit, and Freddie
Hutchinaon has built himself a
contender in Cincinnati. They are
doing this year what Solly Hemus
and the Cardinal* did last year,
making that surpirse run for the
e. blackwell's fabulous

You'll enjoy our delightful music, panaoramic view, and taste
tempting farm style meals served by the South's most talented
singing collegians, every day from 8:00 o'clock in the morning
to 10:00 o'clock at night.
Of course, the greatest surprise
of the year has to be Detroit, which
is fighting it out iike Pittsburgh
did it 1960. The Tigers can score
runs in any way; eight fellows on
the club can hit home runs. They
have been getting some good pitch
ing and if Bob Bruce, last year's
promising rookie, rounds into
form, the Tiger starters would be
a fearsome quartet ? Lary, Mossi,
Bunning, and Brute. There's r'oy
tack and this year's rookie i.ensa
toon, Degan, too, who ? if he holds
up through the year ? will rate
with the top three or four.
That might be a tough team for
New York or Cleveland to beat.
The Indians are another big sur
prise. They might well fight it out
with Detroit. That would be a
switch ? if instead of New York
and Baltimore, it were Cleveland
and Detroit this year! Of course,
don't count the Yankees out yet.
Last year they ended the season
winning fifteen straight.
The Giants, in the National, have
a hard time beting Los Angeles,
and may fould again this year, but
chances are against another col
lapse of the 1060 variety. But Los
Angeles is stronger this year and
the Pirates are going to have a
tough time of it. Milwaukee might
even wake up.
The Reds are not expected to
stap up there but it could happen,
of course. Los Angeles looks pret
ty good right now, in our book.

BUCKET SEATS ALONE DO NOT A MONZA MAKE
? Gee! ? little did we know,
when we introduced the
Corvair Monza last year,
that we were starting a Big
Thing. We just thought it
would be pleasant if you
could buy a car that treats
you, the driver, like you
want to be treated, fl The
bucket seats, of course, are
the most obvious evidence
of our desire to please you.
But they're not the most
important t^ing. No sir.
What's really vital is the way
? Monxa handles? some
thing nobody in the UJ5. has
yet copied. Or can copy. Be
cause Corvair is the only
rear-engined car made in this
country, and you know what
that means: steering light as
thistledown. (Y ou even park
this one more easily, it steers
so briskly.) Blautifully bal
anced braking? the car stays
level even under panic brak
ing, which we hope you'll
never have to do. Traction
and more traction, so you
don't become a stick-in-the
mud. The kind of cornering
that's sheer joy to experi
ence. ? You get more: ?
fully independent suspen
sion that biota out road
shocks before they can ruffle
you. Clean, crisp styling.
Thoroughgoing economy,
from purchase price to op
? rating cost. ? You're not
going to be satisfied with
bucket seats alone, are you?
