Dodgers poised to contest NL West as injuries test depth
The Dodgers appear settled in after a shaky start and eye a late-season push in the National League West. With Bill Singer out, young pitchers Sutton Foster and Vance face tough grind, while veterans Osteen and lineup depth keep optimism high despite Giants rotating in Miguel Puente and weaker pitching staff. Willie Mays provides timely offense and leadership, aiding a high-energy, high-competence club in a tight division race.

Flood Takes Stand In Fight Over Reserve Clause
In New York, Curt Flood testified on the trial's opening day that he was surprised by a trade from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies last October. He said his full-time salary was 90 000 and his lifetime batting average with the Cardinals was .292, the second highest on the team. Flood recounted learning of the transfer by a call from the Cardinals, describing the move as unwanted for his business and family. He identified a notice dated Oct 8, 1969, releasing him to the Philadelphia club.
