YANKEES DESERVE CREDIT FOR
 BRILLIANT SPURT IN AMERICAN
Dan Senno Stars in Opening Game for Lewiston - Mohr and Roach Should Settle Their Differences Quietly Instead of in Newspapers.
(By wagner.)


 E It seems as if you must be reading the standing upside down when you observe the New York Americans at the head of the American league. But the Yankees have been playing the best ball and deserve to be up there They have been helped largely by the fact that the Athletics are shot to pieces and the Red Sox pitchers are not, in Sconditions This should not de- tract from credit due the Yankees, however. They came north in bet ter condition than any other eastern member of the league and are entitled to any advantage they gain thereby.
 It was predicted that the Yankees would be hitless wonders but they have lambasted the opposing twirIers hard so far. Heating, Caldwell, Fish CT and McHa1e have twirled in style Up to date the advance of the Yam kees is due more to batting and speed on the bases than to sensational pitching. Detroit and Chicago are also playing fine ball and some, great | battles are due when the eastern 1 teams begin their invasion of the west.
 In the National the Phi11ies are 1 beginning to fear the approach of the l Cubss who have been playing in bril- 1 liant style. Most baseball men pre- dict, that the Phtllies won't be able l to hold their advantage and will soon
 be passed by the Braves, now that ] the worlds champions have settled
 down for a long stay on their home grounds
 It is reported that Walter Mohr l will bring suit against Matchmaker P. F. Roach to recover money alleged 1 to be due for the bout at the Casino l last Friday. There has been SO many l charges and counter charges made l that it is almost impossible to get at EtTe. truth in the matter. >Mohr says
 Roach didn't keep his contract and Roach says Monr tried. to hold him
 up All we know about Roach is that he put on the best boxing shows i ever held in .Bridgeport. He may or he may not have treated Mohr I squanely but he did business with
 Shugrue and Robideau and never had any trouble with them. It might be well to suggest, however, that if l the parties in this disagreement, are 1 interested in the, welfare of boxing in this city they should settle their
 differences quietly and not air their
 troubles in the newspapers
