EASTERN A. L. CLUBS IN WEST

Cleveland Loses But Retains Slight Edge Yankees Ride in Second Place, One Game Behind; Leaders Face Test Against Invaders; Cards, Cubs Win in National League Contests. BY LEO K. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May B.—The first intersectional competition of the season was scheduled for American League clubs today. New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Boston, the four eastern clubs of the circuit, moved into the west to open against Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and Cleveland, respectively. Thus far this year the eastern and western teams of the league have battled among themselves. The east-west imbroglio in the National League will break out among a Bomewhat jagged front, with New York and Chicago, and Boston and Cincinnati starting the firing Saturday. The other two western clubs— Pittsburgh and St. Louis—open their eastern invasion later, the Pirates meeting Brooklyn at Brooklyn Sunday while the Cardinals do not open their intersectional competition until Monday against Boston.

Cleveland’s Indians, defeated 10 to 4 by St. Louis Thursday, hold a one game advantage over the New York Yankees in the American League but after their four game series with Boston, they will meet the three strongest teams in the circuit in New York, Philadelphia and Washington. George Blaeholder, although he allowed thirteen hits, had little difficulty in checking Cleveland Thursday. The Browns pounded four Cleveland hurlers for seventeen hits. Al Thomas Chased In the only other American League game, Detroit defeated Chicago, 6 to 1 and advanced to fourth place, just a half game ahead of Washington. Powerful first inning attack that drove Al Thomas from the mound gave the Tigers victory. The St. Louis Cardinals increased their margin of leadership in the National League to two games over the second place New York Giants by defeating Pittsburgh, 11 to 5. Jess Haines allowed the Pirates but seven hits, while the Cardinals bombarded French, Osborn and Willhoughby for fifteen blows. Martin Is Star Pepper Martin, Cards rookie center fielder, hit a home run, double and two singles, accounting for four of the St. Louis runs. In the other National League contest the Chicago Cubs overcame their old jinx, Ray Kolp, to defeat Cincinnati, 5 to 4, in eleven innings. Hack Wilson scored the winning run on pinch-hitter Earl Grace’s long fly. The Brooklyn-Philadelphia game was rar.ied out, while New York and
