Milwaukee is first in line, only One percentage point away from the lead. Philadelphia is in third place, only a half-game back, while Brooklyn is 1% games off the pace and Cincinnati only two ••This thing is so tight righ‘ now,” commented Redleg manag er Birdie Tebbetts, “that thre< clubs can change places betweer lunchtime and dinner.” , To prove Tebbetts’ point, the Braves dumped the Phillies from first place to third by beating them, 19-3, Wednesday night.
