...naturally, caught the ball and threw crisply to third base in a vain attempt to double off McAuliffe. It was a good throw, but Dalton Jones couldn't find the handle, and the ball skittered away, letting McAuliffe score. Before the horrible inning was over, Willie Horton got a wind-blown double to center, Freehan another scratch single both off the hapless Culp--and Oyler a run-scoring single off reliever Lee Stange...

Schools & Water Wells. Spam's oth er African colonies are also moving ahead, though at a slower pace. In the Spanish Sahara, a wind-blown waste populated by 40,000 nomads and 20,000 troops and government officials, Spain is pouring $28 million into the de velopment of vast underground phos phate reserves - the world's largest -and spending another $9,000,000 a year to put up schools, dig water wells for tribesmen and persuade the suspicious Saharans that the Spanish are really on their side.

Under the wind-blown look are engines that can leave most other cars far behind.* The expensive 2600 SZ model (price $6,695) speeds up to 131 m.p.h.

Greasers knead their locks with greasy kid stuff, then comb it back into long waves that lap against their collars. Surfers achieve a wind-blown effect by constant washing-sometimes every day.
