Bill Klllefer, who hss tdeaa of nil own. has upset the beat traditions by keeping Jim Levey, the club'a one and only .341 hitter, In eighth posi tion. Just one tp above the pitcher. As a result, the Browna present a sort of "double-barreled" threat to opposing hurlera. Something novel and apparently effective. Two Cleanup Batters. There are two separate and dis tinct "cleanup" batters, Goose Clos lln, the olub'a star hitter, In fourth place and Levey m eighth, each with his own supporting cast.

Wiahlngton's skid ding Senators took t tol beating from the Boston Red Box. The Boston Braves fought 10 In nings tl ahade Brooklyn, 5 to 4, and climbed back to the National league top, : ' The Wants kept hammering away and finally captured a messy affair from the Phillies, a to 7. With only the two games sched uled, the Chicago Cubs slipped back to second place without a chance to defend themselves, J'VILLlliS MEET BRITISH AT WIMBLEDON jZZrmy W SARAH fZ ft PALFREY' x" V yt v I Y4 ' J' i 1 ry' j j I fX i ' iv.'S- fa' :V ' ' ' 'l-C-'x W m& i Four nus, five hit and 11 errore was the mark made By the Fluhrer Doughboyn' Amiincan Leblon baseball night placed them In the running team's 13 runs, eight hits and no error.
