OVER THE MOUNTAINS ON AIR and on gasoline too, of course, but en ridiculously little. Thanks to air-cooling, on mountainous roads and on long hard stretches, Volkswagen owners can breeze merrily by larger cars which have to slow down to keep their radiators from boiling. Air is the ideal cooling medium-it cannot boil or freeze.

Morrisville Cops Little Loop Toga Williamsport, Pa. (U.R) Little Rich Cominski may never have heard of the famous Balti more club but he qualified today to be called an "Old Oriole." Rich broke up the Little League's first "subway type" World Series Friday when his seventh-inning home run gave Morrisville, Pa., a 4-3 victory over Delaware Township, N. J. but up until game time it didn't look like he'd even play. Rich had injured his right hand on Thursday while playing with some of his teammates and Manager Dan Poland did not want to take the chance of let ting the boy catch. At the last moment, however, Poland de cided to let Rich play right field because he is one of the team's best hitters. Rich conceded the' hand hurt but he didn't let thai bother him when he picked out a pitch by Tom Trotman and drilled it into the left field stands.

Y., who earned a shot at Bobo Olson's middle weight title although he lost an unpopular 10-round decision to the balding titlist. Olson scored a unanimous de cision over Giambra Friday night in a nationally televised bout at the Cow Palace, but the verdict was loudly booed and King Bobo must have felt like a stranger in the town which used to idolize him. The eate was announced at 7,000 with a gross of $22,000.
