share of the league's runner- : up spot and stay within easy distance of the leading Brewers, who have bumped off rivals in the west seven times in eight starts. It will be the first ladies’ night of the season at Victory Field tonight in the finale of the 2-game series and Tribe Skipper Gene Desautels will call upon Ray Narleski, righthander,|n to face the juvenile Red Birds on the mound. He beat them once, last Friday, in Columbus, although they forced him to give way in the ninth. But Narleski, like Lloyd Dickey ast night, will need some batting support to wind up out in front.
