DiMaggio led the league, and they
have captured the title only three
times in the last decade. Lou

Major Keith c. Birlem, 81, former

time commander of an American
bomber squadron in which Capt.
Clark Gable trained as a gunner,
has been killed in action in Europe,

Major Birlem played with the

as quarterback of the 1888 Little

at San Jose State college.
In Florida, he commanded the
squadron in which Gable trained,
family spokesman said. News dis
