Major League Teams Launch Final Series By UNITED PRESS The high - riding Milwaukee Braves can clinch at least a tie for the National League pennant tonight, if a couple of Dodger-kill-ers named Bob Buhl and Bob Friend can just drive two more nails in Brooklyn's coffin. All it would take would be for bushy-browed Buhl of the Braves to beat the St. Louis Cardinals at St. Louis while pudgey-cheeked Friend of the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Dodgers in Brooklyn.

Even if the Braves lost their remaining two games, the best Brooklyn could do would be tie ofr the flag and force a playoff starting Monday. Tonight could turn out much differently. however — it could see the Dodgers regain a tie with Milwaukee for first place if skinny Roger Craig (winless since Aug. 22) can beat Friend while Tom Po-

If the Braves and Dodgers both win — Milwaukee would remain one game ahead and be one day nearer the finish line- The only result would be to. wipe out the last mathematical hope of the thirdplace Cincinnati Redlegs. If the Braves and Dodgers both lose — the Braves still Would be a game ahead and the Dodgers would have muffed a golden opportunity. There were no games Thursday, a “traveling day” in the schedule. Buhl, the man who whipped Brooklyn eight times this year, will be seeking his 19th win of the year tonight while Friend, with a 4-1 edge over Brooklyn, will be shooting for his 18th.

In Cincinnati, where the Redlegs need one homer to tit the Giants' major league record of 381 for a season, manager Birdie Tebbetts said he'll stuff ell his sluggers into the starting lineup in Bunday’s final game "unless we have a chance for second place."
