CLIMBING OF THE 5 BARONS FEATURES
 s WEEK IN SOUTHERN

New York, May 17.-East and west began their first clash of the season in major league baseball last week and neither won decided advantage. In the American league the east led by Il games to 6, but this largely was offset by the superior work of the western clubs in the National league, which ended the week with nine victories over eastern rivals, against six de- 1eats.
 The individual case of the National league champions was an exception to the general run of things in the older organization. The week was one of triumph for the Giants and cores pondingly one of doleful trend for the present league leaders.
 Out in front by a wide margin and with a long stretch of home games ahead, the Pittsburgs seemed likely to keep up their fast clip. Instead they started their week by losing to Chi cago, were able only to tie the tail end Bostons and then wound up the playing period by losing three games in row to the Giants.
 McGraw's men seldom were furnished with better pitching in important series that that supplied by Demaree,
 
 bats were potent.
 All the other western clubs in the National circuit stood up well under the eastern attack. Chicago forced a division of honors from Brooklyn while St. Louis downed Philadelphia's three games in four. Cincinnati walked right through the Boston series, shutting out the Braves in three contests. The lat ter seemed to have lost the art of s timely, hitting but their box work has k ~ehown improvement. Herzogs men &oYe worked into the first division and ore playing good ball
 Tigers Maintain Pace
 In the American league the Tigers kept up their fast gait. Three straight victories over New York kept them we'll in the lead. The Athletics, how ever, apparently are creeping up. Ed die Plank seemed like his worlds se- ries self in the 13-inning game against the Maps, winning by l to score and the Mackian pitching staff on the whole looked better than at any time since the seasons start.
 The same might be said of Washing

FL Paso, Tex, Jan 22.-General Sal
yadOr Mercado, who commanded the
Mexican federal army which fled from
Ojinaga, Mexico Thursday, was placed
in command of the camp of soldiers
and refugees at Fort Bliss. AS to-
ken of his continued loyalty to the

fugee General Mercado was selected

Water pipes were laid and all MeXi-
cans were told that they must bathe
regularly. Outdoor barber shops also
were provided.
The Mexican consul at FL Paso,
called at Fort Bliss to arrange to pay
some of the back salaries of Mexican
soldiers. The American officers said
they had no authority to negotiate for
the payment of salaries to the fed
erals. The money said to be available
for the soldiers is $1,000, which was
taken from a federal paymaster at
Maria, Texas, who attempted to drive
through Ojinaga, but was stopped by
the American border patrol.

volutiOn.
