No Longer First in War, First in Peace,
 Last in Ama League

First in war. first in peace, and last in the American League" has been the jocular appellation of the Senators Tor the last twenty years.
 Note their standing this morning. For the first time since they have been in ANY league, American or National, Washington is in the lead.
 Piloted by the youngest man. nger in baseball, Stanley Harris, they have fought their way from the seventh notch in tho American standings up to tho leadership. The young leader has imbued in his men the worth of fighting all tho time. In their three battles with the Yankees in the last two days the Senators have never given up, even for a moment.
 Even though they don't hold the height, the achievement Of Harris and his men is worthy of note in the rush Of baseball events. Where Griffith, Me Bride, Milan and Bush failed a youngster has shown that there's nothing impossible in the game--eyen making Washington team a champion.

OLYMPIC ENTREES
 FINALLY DECIDED JOie Ray Not to Run in 1,500
 Meter Race

On Board the s. s. America, June 25.-Controversies over the makeup of the Olympic track and field teams apparently ended late yesterday fol- lowing a two hour conference of off cials and coaches and, unless an ex- tension of time is desired, the final entries wAl be filed in Paris, Thurs day
 Under decisions reached yesterday, on the eve of the arrival of the Ameri- can athletes at Cherbourg, Head Coach Robertson announced definitely that ]. H. Waters would run in the So0-meter event, replacing Ray Wat son who has been assigned to the l l,500-meter race in the place of James J. Connolly. Joie Rays final iappeal to be permitted to run in f, l,500 meter contest was rejected. Joie's endeavors will be confined to the S,000-meter event only.
 In the case of Ray, Coach Robert son feels that the program is such that it would be too great a strain on Ray to run in two events, involving four straight days of hard racing, par ticularly as the Chicagoan is not be- lieved at his best right now. Con nolly has been given a berth on the team race in which Kirby. Larribee, Tibbets and Cox are entered.
 Coach Robertson is elated over the condition of the men which he de- clares is the best of any team ever sent abroad. The casualties of the eight-day voyage totaled so, but all were minor and all of the ailing ath- letes are expected to quickly reach ton condition as soon as they are ashore. The moral is high and a direct con- trast to four years ago. Every one is confident of a decisive triumph re- gardlcss of the quibbling over en- tries and point scoring details.
 The America is due 10 anchor out side ot Cherhourg today and the ath- lctes will go by special train to Paris.

WASHINGTON TEAM NOW TOPS ALL OTHER AMERICAN TEAMS
Leads League By Defeating Tanks in 10th - Detroit
 Drops Two to Browns - Athletics Trim Boston - Giants Defeat Vance-Prates Trim Reds and Braves
 TrOunce Phis

New York. June 25.-Washington, deprived of its politics by New York retaliated with a brilliant coup which moved the baseball capitol of the na- ton from the Harlem river to the banks of the Potomac.
 The Senators gained a full lap on the racing field of the American league by beating New York 4 to 3 in 10 innings yesterday and jumped from third to first. This is tn. first time the Washington club has headed Ban Johnson's circuit on June 20 or later, The bewildered Yankees, slapped three times within two days by the baseball politicians, managed to hold on to second as Detroit did back dive from first to third by losing twice to the Browns, to 5 and to l. Jacobson made two homers in the second game.
 Boston, recent forceful contender for first place saved itself the ignominy of falling into tie for sixth by beating Philadelphia 4 to l. The Red sox hold a first division bertn Dy oAt pciiA ofNi aN' As'NAs'i which with Sisler back in the game is only two games away from first and poised for a leap.
 The ardor of the mad Indians, whose successful scalping of New York, Boston, Washington and De- troit, scrambled up the league, was restrained by rain which kept them idle at Chicago.
 Gotham's consolation in the sad sit- uation lies in the Giants who won their tenth straight game by adding pazzy Vance. premier hurler of the two league, to their conquests and de- feated Brooklyn to 5. The stride of the Giants took them another half game away from Chicago which with st. Louis was not scheduled.
 McGraw's team now leads the Ma tional by two and one-half games. Brooklyn holds third place by only two and one-half games over the long threatening Pirates who beat Cin- cinnau { to 3 although Eppa Rixey did not allow corsair to reach first base until two were out in the eighth inning.
