THAT'S RIGHT. Only 1 patient out of 3 is a subscriber.
The other two must pay.
Any resident living within 150 miles of Medford, Ore
gon, can and should be a subscriber to Mercy Flights. At
$4 a year per family, it is the only way that a wage
earner can afford air ambulance service for his family.
Accidents don't just happen to ."someone else' The most
common comment by Mercy Flights patients is: "1 never
thought that WE would need Mercy Flights."
41 the time ever arises when your family is saying this,
wouldn't it be better to be a subscriber? For a non-subscriber,
the fee is $70 for every 100 miles the patient

a long way from the 18 out

Fred Haney's crew fells it
will do for a start.
Before the campaign start
ed, Manager Birdie Tebbetts
said his Redlegs were bound
to win more than four games
from the Braves this year.
Maybe so, but they had bet
ter start moving soon.
Hank Aaron's foul ball set
tled matters Monday night.
Turk Lown, Cincinnati's
fourth pitcher, set the stage
of Sunday, the gap between
first and last place was but
six games.
O'Connor said no attend
ance figures had yet been com
piled on the league, but would
be by July 4.
"However, I would guess
that attendance is off, com
pared with figures at the same
time a year ago," he said.
Seattle Disappointed
There have been no dispar
aging words about the new
league set up, owner of the
once topdrawing Seattle Rain
iers, had written about his
own situation thus far this
season - low attendance "and
near the bottom in the stand
ings. "That weather in the North
west in early season really
hurt us," said O'Connor, re
ferring to the many, rainouts
at Portland, Seattle and Van
couver during the first two
weeks.
"The league still must de
cide what to do about getting
those games worked into the
schedule," he said, "and act
on a request by Portland for
extending the season two
weeks." The owners probably
will decide what to do at the
league meeting in Portland
prior to the All-star game at
Vancouver June 30. '

as a public service
for Milwaukee's winning run
in the 12th when he yielded
a single to Red Schoendienst.
Johnny Logan followed with
a double moving Schoendienst
to third, then Fran Torre was
purposely walked, filling the
bases.
Schoendienst Beats Relay
Tom Acker took over for
Lown and Aaron stroked a
looping foul toward the left
field bullpen. Shortstop Eddie
Miksis, recently signed as a
free agent after being re
leased by Baltimore, scamp
ered back and caught the ball
but Schoendienst beat his re
lay to the plate for the win
ning run.
It was a tough one for the
Redlegs to lose, especially aft
er they had battled back to
knock out Warren Spahn and
tie the score with a pair of
runs in the bottom of the
ninth.
Spahn, shooting for his sev
enth straight complete game
victory, appeared to have it
in his grasp when Andy Paf ko
homered off reliever Hal Jeff
coat in the top of the ninth
to stretch Milwaukee's lead
to 3-1. r
But the Redlegs chased
Spahn with their two - run
rally in the bottom of the
frame. It marked the first
time in his last seven games
and only the second time this
season that Spahn failed to
finish.
Ed Bailey homered with
one out and the bases empty
and then with two out Smoky
Burgess lined a pinch single
and Bob Thurman drove in
the tying run with a pinch
double to left-center.
Fire-baller Don McMahon,
who took over for Spahn in
the ninth, scattered four hits
the rest of the way to gain
the decision. Tebbetts em
ployed 21 players in a vain
effort to snare the win. -
It was the only game sched
uled -in the majors.

moved the Mounties right into
first place. The bases were
loaded at the time, and Char

that beat Sacramento, 4-3.

Officials of
the divided Pacific Coast con
ference were expected to take
up the problem of the Rose
Bowl's future today but
there has already been specu
lation on the subject.
The problem was bypassed
during the opening session of
the three-day spring meeting
Monday, but newsmen did get
a comment from one PCC
spokesman, Prof. E m m e 1 1
Moore of Washington State.
Moore said that in his opin
ion, California, Southern Cali
fornia and UCLA would not
be entitled to play in the Rose
Bowl after 1959. The three
schools have announced they
are pulling out of the confer
ence as of July 1 next year.
Moore said the "big three"
from California would also
lose their share of the profits
from the big annual classic.
Although the Rose Bowl
question hasn't been settled,
a number of other proposals
were passed during Monday's
session.
A provision which earlier
read that any withdrawing
school had to be immediately
cancelled by remaining mem
bers was amended to read
that that portion of the ath
letic code was "inapplicable."
