IN BATTING ORDER
Double-Barreled Threat For
Opposing Hurlers Proving
Effective For St. Louis
Brown's Offensive.
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAT 24, 1932.
By Oa.vle Talbot,
(Associated Press Sports Wrltr.)
The St. Louis Browiu, winners of
seven of their last eight engagement
and a brand nw American league
menace, are having a Jolly time dis
proving one of baseball old-Mt max
imathat a club'a batting strength
. must be concentrated midway of the
lineup, and let the bottom end take
oare of Itaelf.
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. The scheme
designed to atMtsin a rally once start
ed, has worffed live ft charm since the
Brownr caught tiro on their recent
jlit to washlnKto'a.
Yesterday tney rur iqw. -runs
in the seventh to oome from
' behind and down Detroit, two.
Lvey made three hits, knocked In a
-,. .ti viwwi twice. Goslln's only
hit drove in two more. The victory
placed the Browns on an even keel
for the first time mis -
10 m int.. and onlv a game
behind the Tlgere and Cleveland, who
are In a virtual tie ior lounn yi-
riMstnn nianks Cleveland.
The day'a other beet feature In the
American league also was witnessed
In the west, wnere miii jwii .
the Chicago White Box beat Cleve
land, to 0, on two scattered sin
gles. Further monopolizing the hon
ors, Oaston alngled In the winning
run in the fourth.
Bed Biiffing'a tight relief pitching
In the ninth, when he replaced Flp
gra with, one out and the tying run
en third, and retired the last two
batters, enabled the Yankees to pull
out with a o to S win over the Ath
etlcs, breaking the A's winning streak
at seven straight. 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,

putt to beat Crawley on the last
hole, however, as the Englishman lay
mnch nearer to the pin with his
approach shot.
Joshua Crane, the Boston veteran,
was upset In another first round
match, postponed from yesterday be
cause of darkness, by 8. Forsyth of
Edlnburg, two up.
