SPEAKER TETERMINED

That Cleveland is determined not to re- linquish one iota of any possible advan- tage to be obtained is evident by the tactics of Speaker, who throws his most available strength into every contest in which the champions take part, taking no heed Of what may happen tomorrow so long as he is successful today.
 Kelly, the Giant first baseman, has the honor of being the first batter in the major leagues to make six home runs during the month of April. He is one ahead of Ruth, who made five in April. A great deal of furore is being kicked up over the possibility of a fight between the two for home run supremacy. All things are possible in baseball, but as the topography of major league grounds exists Ruth will have little the better of it on the short-fence question. After hitting safely in 13 successive games, Kelly failed to get a single in his four teenth, which annoyed him more than any home run miss.
 By monthly summary April finds Pittsburg unmistakably superb to the National league teams of the west and Brooklyn as superior to the National teams of the east. That is strict running to form on the basis that Pttsburg and Brooklyn are pennant factors.
 PIRATES VS. DODGERS
 In the first tilt, as the month passed out, both Pittsburg and Brooklyn enthu- siasts may smile complacently over their keen judgment. Shortly there will be an- other arrangement of games which will be a greater test of skill of the present leaders.
 ApriPs end found Cleveland leading it's western rivals safely, though by a little less margin than the Pittsburgers led the National league. Washington however, had outdistanced the eastern half of the American league and that was not on the cards at all. In the overwhelming rush to name New York as the great contender except Cleveland Washington has been overlooked

 The manner in which Alexander, the great pitcher of the Cubs was injured, is without precedent or parallel in base ball. Prior to the opening game in Chi cago, he was warming up. Spectators are permitted on the field in Chicago on big days, and one of the spectators ac- c1dentaHy bumped into Alexander as ne was drawing his arm back to throw. He felt the hurt and ceased to. work. His arm has not been right since. There is one instance where the penalty of a huge crowd worked inversely to tile interests of a. ball club.

ALTERNATE FOR LEAD

In the little game of see-saw between Washington and Cleveland, both teams seem to delight in alternating the lead Though Cleveland has a little the bet ter of it because it has played a greater number of games. The team which has done the greater amount of work has least worry for it's accomplishment is assured,

WEST CLINGING TOl THE LEAD IN BOTH THE BIG LEAGUES
Pirates Tearing Things Up In National Circuit-KelIy
 Is Going Good
Fly JOHN H. FOSTER Copyright, 1921, by The Axe-HeraId.

New York, May 2.- With tenacity of a small boy gripping stick of taffy, the west clings to the lead in both major leagues The double chance of the Saturday and Sunday interval lent aid to Pittsburg and Cleveland. Pittsburg has won more games than the Americaa league leader and by analysis of scores seems not to have as hard a fight. Were it possible for Pittsburg to make the same headway against the east that it IS making against the west, the National league race would quickly tail out to procession with Pittsburg right next to the band, but there is test to come in the east which may turn Pittsburg des- perate, If the team is gradually forced to a finger clutch to hold it's prestige
 Brooklyn is steaming along. The cham plons have won 10 straight victories. That is good baseball, be it either spring or midsummer. Three or four similar runs or better runs of success give team confidence in itself and make is' more difficult O dofear
