CHICAGO (APN) This m the
Mime of the season— on the brink at
tha annual major league ali-star
game—to review the first half of
the baseball campaign. To sum up
to a few words, it’s been the kind
of season you'd expect: some sur
prises, some disappointments—but
most of all things running fairly
dose to form.
Willie Mays’ tremendous spurt at
the plate was one of those things
that you didn’t expect Yet it didn't
come exactly as a surprise. Mays is
a terrific streak hitter, but almost
invariably, a slow starter. This was
one reason that this comer thought

Automobiles are responsible
for more dog deaths and in

cause. And since dogs are not
wise to this fact and many
will trot along the side or cen
ter of a busy highway, bliss
fully unaware of the danger,
It’s up to you, the owner, to
protect your dog. It’s particu
larly imperative now during
the summer months when the
hs-ird is multiplied by sum

So if you value the life of

succeed end he persists in
enesking off, you have no al

methods two or three.
Method two Is to fence m

run. Make sure that the fenc
«ig is high enough to prevent
ground so that he can t dig un
der it and escape.
Method three is to make him
strictly a house dog and ex
ercise him regularly three or
four tones a day on lead.
