EASTERN CLUBS GET JOLT in WEST,
YANKS ALONE GETTING EVEN BREAK
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

AKRON, Ohio. August 13.-The east
ern contingent in the American League
found the going extremely rough during
its sojourn on the frontier now ended,
with the exception of one engagement
to be played today in Cleveland by New
York. OF the sixty-seven games staged
during the intersection clash the clubs
from the seaboard annexed only twenty
four.
OF these two dozen victories the
Nationals accounted for but four, while
the sixteen games they lost comprise
considerably more than one-third of the
total and gave them by far the poorest
record they have been guilty of for many
moons.
The Yankees alone of the invaders
managed to get as good as an even
break, winning eight and losing as many
in their sixteen contests, while the last
place Mackmen came next in line with
six victories and nine defeats, followed
by the Red Sox, with the same number
of wins and one additional reverse.
Why the White Sox today are roost-
ing in second place, only one game
behind the pace-setting Indians is ex
planned by the fact that during their,
Sojourn at Comiskey Park they were
defeated on only four occasions, while
recording fourteen triumphant efforts.
The st. Louis Browns flashed the next
best record. ten wins and six losses,
the tigers being next in order, with
the count ten and seven in their
favor. The Indians bring up the rear
of the western array with nine vic
tories and seven setbacks, three of
the latter, by the way, having been
inflicted by the Griffmen, who in
Cleveland made their best showing by
splitting even in six games.
The intersectional meetings show
that the White SoX alone of the three
flag contenders have been able to
maintain championship pace. The
inability of the Yankees to better than
split even indicates that, barring a
determined stand at the Polo Grounds
for the fortnight starting tomorrow,
they will be in a bad position stra-
logically when they start west again
early next month, while the loss of
three straight games by the Indians
to their New York rivals would make
ii appear that Speakers men are stop
ping at rate that will prove fatal
to their flag hopes. with Chicago drill
ing on at its recent pace.
