Bostonians Cry 'Pennant' As Braves Gain On Phils By RALPH RODEN Auocialed Press Sporuwriter The word "pennant" is back in the vocabulary of the good (oiks up Boston way today. They're not referring to the Red Sox. But to Billy Southworth's Braves. Billy the kid's third place war riors are only two games out of first place. They have won IT of their last 25 games, for a roaring .680 clip. Less than a month ago June 14 to be exact the Braves trailed the pack by six and one half games. Pitching has put the Braves where they are. In the beginning Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain carried the load. Then Vern Bick ford got into the picture, and re cently Bob Chipman began to click to give Southworth his long desir ed "big four. The Braves inched to within two games of the pace-setting Philadel phia Phils yesterday as Bickford turned in a brilliant 3-2, 13-inn-ing victory over the New York Giants. Bickford limited the Giants to eight hits and only three walks and won out on some daring base running by Sam Jethroe. DP Attempted Jethroe opened the last of the 13th against Sal Maglie with a double and stole third, his third steal of the game and 24th of the season. One out later Maglie in tentionally walked Earl Torgcson. Sid Gordon followed with a ground er to Maglie who bluffed Jeth roe back to third and then attempt ed an inning ending double-play. Maglie's throw to Ed Stanky was slow and Jethroe, who injured his left instep in his steal of third, limped across the plate with the winning run as Gordon beat Stanky's relay to first. The Phils were trounced, 7-3, by the Brooklyn Dodgers but main tained their one game edge over St. Louis. The Cards dropped a 3-2, decision to the tail-end Pitts burgh Pirates.

I American Loop Favored In Tilt CHICAGO, July 10 (Pi The American league today ruled a strong 8-5 favorite to continue its dominance over the victory ' starved Nationals In tomorrow's 17th renewal of baseball's all star game. The fact that Vic Raschi, vet eran pitcher of the New York Yankees, . will open up for the American leaguers against inex perienced Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phils has no bearing on the one-sided odds. The Americans probably would be favorites to win simply be cause they've made a career out of knocking the tar out of their inter-league rivals in the mid summer and world's series classics.

There were 58,000 ears ht the S western states and we did an annual business of $12 million. This was just about equivalent to the total annual business that any S bier grocery super markets will do today. Yet It represented approximately 23 oi the oil business done in the 5 western states. 'Figures are baaed on crude oil receipts. i J1-", j"7- --is 2e Today, there are 100 times as many can la our marketing area and we do an annual business) of $200 million. Yet, in spite of this growth, ear share of the oil business in the 5 western state is now 12H. If we were the only company this had happened to, we'd think there was some thing wrong with us. 3e But every old, established oil company in the U. S. has gone through a similar experience. The reason for this is that the oil industry like all American industry is intensely eonpc(t.ite. As the business has grown, new companies have entered the field and competition has grown also. As a result, there are far more companies in the industry competing for the business today than there were in 1910. 5e If slie hi a canse for concern, maybe we should take a look at our Federal government Its "busi ness" is 62 times as big today as it was in 1910. Its payroll is 19 times larger. And It Is costing the American people in direct and Indirect taxes-62 times as much. a. a. totfum awns Met mhuom avtav t Moots 6e To give you an idea of what this means, here's a comparison: At the Federal govern ment's present rate of expenditure $119 million per day it takes in and pays out more money every W hovrt than Union Oil does all year as much money every tVt hourt of each night and day as Union Oil stockholders received in divi dends all during 1949. 4. In view of all this, it seems rather strange that we've heard so much talk recently about bigness. Of course, individual companies are bigger today. They have to be bigger to serve a bigger country. But the vast majority aren't as big m proportion to the total business a they were 40 yeart ago. In fact, they are getting steadily "smaller" aU the Um . 1WIOHT Oil COIIPAMY OF CALIFORNIA INCOIPORATID IN C A 1 1 O N I A, OCIOIII 17, IttO Thit $erie$, $poniored by the people of Union Oil Company, it dedicated t a dieevmion of how and why American butinete function.
