for Five Previous Years and the
Grand Totals to Date.
Eighteen games were played this
spring between National and Amer
lean league teams during their train
ing trips, including the city champion
ship series in ST Louis and PhiladeI-
phia. On the total of games played
this year the majors split even, each
league winning nine of the eighteen.
The American leaguers won both
spring championships in Philadelphia
and st. Louis, although all the games
arranged were not played in either
of these series. The ST. Louis
Browns won three out of five games
with their civic rivals, the Cardinals,
although for time it looked as if Nc
Closkey's outfit would trim McAleer's
again. as happened in the spring OF
1907. The Cardinals won the first two
games, but tho Browns took the last
three, two games being declared Off
on account of bad Weather.
In Philadelphia the Athletics WON
the title from the Phillies by taking
three out of four games, Murray men
winning the third game of the series.
OF the informal contests Cincinnati
and Washington took part in the great
er number of games. The Reds de
feated the Boston Americans one
game, trimmed the Chicago White
Sox in another battle, and won one game
from Washington, only to fall down
before the Detroit champions in two
straight games. The Reds were to,
have played two games with each
of these four clubs if the weather had
not interfered in all except Detroit's
case
Down in Texas in the earliest days
of the training the st. Louis Ma
tionals played Washington four games
and won three of them. These were
played by the regulars of both teams
The Cardinal and Senators substi-
tutes also played couple of games
not included in the records.
The even break this spring between
the rival major leagues produces no
change in the relative number OF
games they have won from each
.
1903 was signed and the national COM
mission took charge of organized base
bail. Previous to this year the Amer
lean league teams had won 112 games
from National league clubs and the
veteran leaguers had won 90 games
from the Americans. That would
make the grand total for five and
half years to date of 121 victories for
the American league out of 222 games
played leaving 101 victories for the
Nationals.
The greatest number of interleague.
games played in any one year was go
in 1903, the season after the two
bodies stopped fighting each other.
The smallest number was "a in 1904.
the year when there was no worlds
