Detroit, May 17.-Walter Johnson won
his ninth straight victory of the season
today when Washington defeated De-
record crowd Neither team scored an
earned run. Johnson grew unsteady on
several occasions but when defeat threat
ened pulled himself together and pitched
wonderful ball. Zamloch, recruit from
AIissoula. Mont, started his first major
league game and deserved shut out.
In the third, Shanks singled to center
and advanced to second when Cobb
threw wildly. Zamloch after striking out
Ainsmith, tossed out Johnson without
allowing Shanks to advance. Moeller
singled, scoring Shanks and then stole
second. As he was stealing third Mckee
threw to leftfield and Moeler brought
home the visitors final run.

the season in each league, fast drawing
to close, the eastern teams in the Ma
tional league are shown to be even
stronger than was generally thought. On
the other hand, indications furnished by
the American league intersectional fight
to date are that the preponderance OF
strength in the east in this organization
is by no means as great as had been
supposed.
OF 80 completed games in the eastern
invasion of the National leagues western

less than 2s to the westerners' IL. Up to
Saturday night the engagement of the

Pitching feats have been features of
the week in the American league. Walter

Review Of the Week In Major Circles

New York. May 1s.-Last weeks play in
major league baseball circuits was fea-
tured by developments of decided signifi-
canoe. The jump of the champion New
York from fifth to third place In the
National league standing was one of
these. Quite as notable was the reverse
of this move by the Chicago club, which
lost all five games it played.
American league changes, if less radical
were not lacking in interest. The Phila-
delphia Athletics had rather a bad week
of it, while Cleveland and Washington
barely held their own. The fine showing
of the Chicago White Sox ena bled Gala
hans men to work within comparatively
easily striking distance of the top. Frank
Chance and his New Yorks. while uproari-
ously welcomed by Chicago fans" were

Barons Again Humble the Gulls
From the Angle Of the Bug
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

-HE Barons acquitted them
selves handsomely after all
They divided a series of four
with New Orleans, lost three in four
to Memphis, and three in four to
Montgomery, and then won three
straight from Mobile.
In other words, out of Is games they
won seven, which Is very good. The
most ardent fan could not have eN-
peeted more than an even break ON
the road The Barons got as near an
even break as they possibly could.
Wheh the bold and battle scared,
after losing game after game. settled
down and by playing excellent base
ball, won the entire series from the
hitherto unbeatable Gulls. they carved
for themselves a neat little niche in
the hall of fame.
We would not assume the role of
the ghost-head at the banquet, but
do not hesitate to prepare the fans
for a defeat 1t might not come this
afternoon. And it might not come
tomorrow. But it Is bound to arrive.

But even should the Gulls win, the
outlook nevertheless would still re-

Donald have materially strengthened
the team and the Barons will soon be

a series of victories, it might be
added, may put the Barons In possess

something happen to check the Gulls
in their efforts to retrieve their
losses. first place might soon be oc-
cupied.
All of these things are In the realm
