Take look at the work of the East
ern clubs in the American League
against the Western invaders. and YOU
will have right to swell up with pride
and vainglory over the showing Of
Washington.
The club ranks last among the East
eTners as far as a percentage of re-
suits is concerned. but note the gross
1acts-nine won and four lost. Accord
ing to the work Washington had done
before the Westerners came this way
IT should have been delighted to have
made II seven won and six lost, or
even six won and seven lost, for that
would have been a considerable i'm
prOvement over the showing made in
the battles with the Fasteners.
Washington played two games with
Chicago, and lost one, the other TWO
9ei-g postponed by rain; three out of
four were taken from Cleveland: two
out OF four from St Louis one game
being tie, and three out Of four from
Detroit One game was thus lost to
each or the invaders Cleveland's only
winning on the whole trip was night
here, and IT was due almost entirely
10 LaJoie, but he also threw away a
game here by a bad heaVe 10 the plate.
The even showing Of all the Eastern
clubs is surprising Boston beats out
Washington by losing one game less,
but did not win any more. New York
and the Athletics each won two more
than Washington and won one less,
but they played fourteen games N
all, while Washington played thirteen
full games.
Washington made a better showing
against the Western clubs IN the
American League than any Eastern
club of the National League made In
the West. The best the Eastern Ma
uonals did in the Wild and Woolly
was the even break Of eight won and
eight lost by the despised Boston, Of
which Fred Lake is now manager.
while there are rumOrs that Patsy
Donovan. who supplanted Lake as
manager Of the Boston Americans, is
TO get the hook. New York did no
each winning six and losing light.
This was cruel jolt 10 those persons
who think Manhattan isle is the cen
ter or the universe and the fullnesS
thereof, and are wont to fill the Sun
day supplements with alleged jokes
alb ut Brooklyn and the other prov
inces."
Even such a two-handed taIker as
Horace Fogel viii have his troubles
explaining the sudden slump Of the
Philadelphia Nationals, who won a
paitry three and lost ten in the West
Likewise, the remarks of Col. Barney
DreyTuSS upon the PlttSburg Pirates
winning four and olsing nine on their
home grounds win be more interest
Ing than polite.
It's a record to make the spirit of
mortal proud.
