THE WEST SEEMS HEAVIER
It wasn't so very long ago that tbs
east dominated both major circuits
With the exception OF the White Sox
who won the pennant IN 1917. the
western end OF the American league
has enjoyed no triumphs since the
Detroit Tigers finished on top in 1909
The Athletics were the cOnouerors in
1910. 1911. 1913 and 1914. while the
Boston Red Sox carried off the honor $
IN 1872, 1913, 1915 and 1918 Last year
the Cubs won the National league flas
for the west But after the victory
Of the Chicago club in 1910 the cas-
predominated, with the Giants win
ming in 1871 1912, 1913 and 1917, the
getting there in 1915 and the Brook
lyns capturing the prize in 1916.
Today the western clubs are unusu-
ally strong. The east IS represented
BY only two formidable machines. the
Giants and the Yankees II one or
both OF the New York clubs fail 10
come through with a winning fight.
there viii be much gioating in the
western cities For many years the
west has been Jealous OF the east. but
with only the Giants and Yankees
capable Of standing off the enemy.
Furthermore, the New York teams
must carry on the fight single handed,
for the reason that the other eastern
teams can provide little or no assist
ance- II the championships 90 west
this year. therefore, the New York
clubs can blame IL on a lack OF CO.
operation by the other clubs in the
east
