BOSTON. Aug. 3.-If you want to
snare tennis victories, the best idea
this year Is to inveigle your oppon-
ent into your own door yard. The
fasteners who visited the Pacific
coast last month were walloped un-
mercifully, but this month. the coast
ers have come east. and yesterday

that the st. Louis Browns are much
more given to double plays than any
other club In major league baseball.
Therefore II is reasonable to expect
that some Of Rickey's innelders
would be leading the league in con-
nection with the double killings.
And SO they do.
Derrill Pratt is a real leader. He
has started 90 snch plays, more
than any other second baseman In
the league and twice as many as
