There Is no denying the fact that the
American League race is proving far
more interesting than was expected
prior to the opening Of the campaign.
Then 1t was thought Boston would make
a runaway Of 1t. with Washington and
possibly Detroit or Chicago making a
good fight for second place. Now. with
the season over two weeks old. Detroit
is found to have a good hold on first
place, but instead OF Boston. Chicago,
or Philadelphia being second. the
runner-up is New York, who was
thought to be Clevelands rival for the
cellar championship.
The reason for New York's proud posi-
ton Is easily solved, The Yankees en-
eountered better weather and lost fewer
training days than any of their rivals.
When the season opened. the Yanks
were ready. which is more than can be
said of Boston or Philadelphia, or even
Washington. Donovan had four or
five Of his pitchers right on edge. and
because Of that superiority in the box,
his team has been winning. Wait until
the campaign is trifie older and the
other clubs acquire a similar position.
and the Yanks will slide gracefully In
the position predicted. At that. the
Yankees are stronger than the Indians

CAPITAL BOWLERS
HAVE PACE TO GO
New England Primers Set Rapid
Stride For Teams Here to
Follow.

BOSTON, May 6.--New England bowl
ers are setting high marks for tho
Washington contingent TO shoot Mt in
the first annual tourney of the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association. Here are the
high marks to date:
Candlepins-Individua Shaw, Cam
bridge. 334 two-man teams, Martel and
Poehler, 669: ive-man teams, Boston
Amateurs, 1861.
Duckpins-Individual. Beatty. Boston.
375 two-man teams, Collett and Engle-
brook, Providence. 633; five-man teams.
White Way, 1916.
Tenpins-Individual. Marston, All:
two-man teams. Marston and S. Will
liams, 1.O25; five-man teams, Oldtimers.
2,52s.
Stories from the Capital have reached
here to the effect that the bowlers there
have been practicing with the new style
of duckpn. and have been doing well.
That is a good thing, for the pin split
ters here are also learning q thing or
two about the new standardized ball.
The pins don't fly around as the old
ones did. They slide in all directions.
though, and it is possible to roll high
scores with them. Local bowlers find
some trouble with the slightly larger
ball, but the Washington bowlers should
be able to control the new ball very
well. The candlepin ball used here is
smaller than the standardized duckpin
ball.
The alleys are all polished at the big
tourney in Mechanics Hall. no sand
papered alleys being allowed. In order
that the competition will be absolutely
fair to all, the alleys are polished each
morning. Some complaint was made
that those rolling toward the end Of
the tourney would have an advantage,
but Burton Mank, majordomo of the
tourney, corrected that impression at
once when he told of the daily polishing
given the alleys.
Ray Morgan, Chick Gandil, and Clark
Griffith OF the Washington baseball
club, tried out the alleys during their
stay here. and expressed themselves as
satisfied that they were as good as any
in the country. Gandil. who controls a
OF the opinion that his fellow-citizens
from the Capital would have their trou-
bles, though, when they went up against
the scores being hung up here.
We've got some good men in Wash
ington, Just as good as any in the coun-
try" said Gandil but the smaller ball
may bother them. In another year,
though. they ought to give the best of
them a battle"
Gandil further said that 1t would be a
great thing for bowling in Washington
to have the 1915 tournament there. He
didn't know of a hall capable of staging
such a big show, but thought that Frank
Sherman. the old billiard champion, was
to erect a hall large enough The whole
question, he said, rested on whether or
not Sherman's new place would he fin
ished in time.

PHILADELPHIA. May 6. Ralph

Pacific Coast League. started his first
real game for the Giants here yesterday
in the final contest with the Phillies
and won 1t. The 4-to-2 victory he

Washington also was expected to be in

a distinct surprise to see the Athletics
Athletics have won but four games;
without Lajoe. the Indians have won
seven.
The surprise of the National League
race is the failure Of the Braves to be
be running second is not much of
sensation, as the Reds have a habit Of
starting out like pennant winners.
Neither is 1t surprising that the Phillies
have the spring habit. And there are
many who are not particularly amazed
because the Giants have gotten away 80
badly. The truth Of 1t is the old Giant
machine is rusty. McGraw found 1t out
late last season. He sought to repair
the acquisition Of Hans I-obert and
Pol Perritt but 1t apparently is weak
in other spots.
What was touted as the greatest
pitching starr ever gathered together OH

for the Red Sox. Wood and Gregg
