...production line. A snuff-making firm in Sheffield regeared its production from electric power to a water wheel first used in 1737. There was panic buying of some items, notably bread and toilet paper, and camp suppliers did a booming business in butane lamps and stoves. A Battersea candlestick maker turned out a million candles a day instead of his usual 250,000. His most popular item: a wax effigy of Prime Minister Edward Heath...
Lost Momentum. The big showdown occurred last week when the Dodgers met the Giants for the last time this season in a two-game series at Candlestick Park. In the first game, the slap-hitting Dodgers uncharacteristically clouted three home runs to outlast the Giants 5-4.

...this season give him a total of 633, has at best only an outside chance. Though Willie feels he has five more seasons left in him, he is fighting not only time but the wicked left-to-right winds that plague righthanded power hitters in San Francisco's Candlestick Park. Aaron is three years younger than Mays (he turned 37 in February) and also has the advantage of hitting in Atlanta Stadium, where the relatively short fences and calm breezes allowed for 211 home runs last season, more than were hit in any other National League park.
