ONLY ONE IN THE LEAGUE
WAYLAND. Mich. W> — Gail
Hoffman, a freckled eighth grad
er. leads the Wayland, Mich.,
Midget League with a whopping
.600 batting average.
And this 90-pounder, captain
of the team, is a sure-handed
second baseman who has made
only four errors in 10 games.
Some of the other youngsters
are jealous of Gail’s success and
many of the opposing teams are
clamoring to have the league’s
top hitter thrown out of the
league.
You see, Gail is a girl — the
only one in the league.

j breaks and crevasses.”

peak from the other.

Minuteman “Pushbutton”
Missile Flies 5,000-Miles
Down the Atlantic Range
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UFi —
A Minuteman missile, the weapon
designed for pushbutton war
capability, blazed about 5,000
miles down the Atlantic range
Thursday, scoring its second suc
cess in three test launchings.
The sleek, 58-foot rocket spurt
ed a thick column of white smoke
as it lifted smoothly from its pad
and pitched quickly toward the
southeast. The three solid-fuel
stages fired in quick succession
and propelled a nose cone to a
broad ocean area in the South
Atlantic.
The Air Force reported the mis
sile performed as planned on the
nearly 30-minute flight. Exact
range was not announced. Pin
point accuracy is not a goal in
the early phase of the test pro
gram.
The first Minuteman, fired Feb.
1, flew 4,600 miles, registering
an amazing success for such a
complete missile on an initial
launching.
Guidance problems plagued the
second launching on May 19 and
the range safety officer destroy
ed the missile during second stage
flight.
More than 200 telemetry chan
nels were carried on Thursday’s
rocket to radio information on
performance of all systems.
The Air Force plans to deploy
the first operational Minuteman
in steel and concrete under
ground silos at Malmstrom Air
Force Base, Mont., in mid-1962.
Once in place, the missiles will
be manned and guarded only
through remote control.
Bowling is now crowding fish
ing for the honor of being Ameri
ca’s top participant sport. But in
the third century bowling at pins
wasn’t a game but a religious
ceremony.
