And Bobby Bragan, who re-
placed Haney and guided the
Pirates all the way to the top,
knew some troubled moments as

KANSAS CITY, June 2l.--It's
rather exciting, in a fiendish sort
of way, to watch this struggle
between the Senator'S and Ath-
iletics to avoid running eighth ii
an eight-team race. There's
little polished baseball in Their
lmaneuvering, but it's fascinating
to see which club will commit
the most mistakes.
The fielding errors aren't toe
numerous. but the type Of base
ball they're playing is reflected
by the fact that the Senator:
got five runs with no more
than two hits figuring in theil
manufacture in their 5-4 victory
last night.
After giving away games by
bundles this season, the Senators
had one presented to them. A

wild pitch and an error were

Emilio Nunez Portuondo, Cuba's

The Soviet overtures were
made in replies by Soviet Premier

printed in Spanish and Portu-

were read at a news conference
