Battle of East and West
Starts in Major
Leagues.
By Henry l. Farrell
Press statt Correspondent


NEW YORK, May S.-Intersec-
t1onal competition between the east
ern and western major league en-
tr1et which started today will de-
velop the most important baseball Of
the early season.
IN both major leagues the main
strength seems to be gathered
among the western clubs and the
eastern teams will hit the most sus-
tanned opposition Of the season.
The Philadelphia Athletics and the
Washington Senators left for the
West in a triple tie with the Cleve-
land Indians for the lead in the
American League. The Athletics
and Indians hooked UP In a series to-
day and the champion Senators will
try to get a clear title to first place
by taking a series away from the
Chicago White Sox.
White SOx Surprise
The White Sox are one Of the most
interesting teams Of the season and
they have been acting so well for
Eddie Collins that they look like one
Of the real entries.
After having Toasted on the
Braves and the Pills, the New
York Giants will meet the Western
invasion with a fair hold on first
place. The National League cham
pions were to open against the st.
Louis Cards.
The Cincinnati Reds, running a
close second to the Giants, were to
open a series in Brooklyn. The
Robins have been having trouble
with some backward pitching and
although they are holding fourth
place they haven't found the pace
that was expected Of them.
Pirates Disappoint
The Pittsburgh Pirates, which
have been the biggest disappoint-
ment Of the season, meet the Phil
lies, a team that doesn't look like
much on paper but which has been
going well on a stout heart.
Bill Killefer's Cubs, playing very
good ball, has the easiest spot in
the East against the Boston Braves,
a young team that is not properly
balanced.
