New York, May 21.-Striking vic iously at the enemy at various points along the western battle front, meet ing each outburst of German artillery with a thunder of cannon fire, and maintaining the mastery of the air in every sector from the North sea to the Swiss frontier, the armies of the entente allies are preventing the Teu- tonic armies from quietly perfecting their preparations for coming battles.
 With the knowledge that the pass ing of each day brings new American legions, the allies are finding satis- faction in the fact that the Germans have as yet been unable to launch a new blow in the struggle which Ber- lin had expected to be the decisive one of the war.
 For the most part the Germans have shown but little of their habi- tual fighting spirit along the line in France. They have been thrust back in four sectors and the allies have won ground which will be of great im- portance in the future. But the Ger mans have counter-attacked in only one instance and this movement was carried out so slowly and with such a lack of dash that it was easily broken up before the Teutons reached the new allied positions.

the outcome q t5s aonino World Series the lead secured in recent years by the American League teams is sufficient to hold the National League in check though the senior league standard bearers were to capture the baseball classic in the easiest possi- ble fashion. The clash of 1918 will he the fourteenth under the auspices of the National Commission and of the thirteen series which are now part of diamond history the American League clubs have won eight while five have been the portion of the Ma tional.
 The last victory by National League team was the record perfor- nance of the Boston players in 1914 when the Braves swept the Philadel- phia Athletics before them in four straight games, which caused the eventual disruption of the famous Shibe Park baseball machine. Previ- ous to that the record for the short est series was held by the Chicago Nationals of 1917. In that year the team, led by Frank Chance, defeated the Detroit Americans, four games to
 
 tests, as the opening game resulted in a to tie.
 But one other series developed tie game. This occurred in the meet ing of the New York Nationals and the Boston Americans in the memor- able conflict of 1912. This series, which still holds the record for num- Der of games, attendance and gate re- ceipts, went full eight contests before the Boston Red SOX emerged VictOrs Moro than a quarter of a million of fans attended the games and the gate receipts were a trifle moro than $4OO,- 900. Each player on the winning team received $4O24 while the losing Giants found a balm for their defeat In the fact that their end amounted to $2,566 per man.
 Although the American League teams hold a safe margin in series won the total in games and runs is far closer. Of the ScVcnty-tWO games played in the thirteen series. to date, the junior league team has won thir- ty-seven and the National I.aguc clubs thirty-thrce, while two ended in ties The lead in runs is almost as narrow for the American League teams have amassed q total Of 244 in the seventy two games to the Nationals 239.
