NEW YOKK. May 21.—If the rec
ords of past seasons can be accepted
as a criterion, the unusual perform
ances of the leading clubs in the ma
jor league pennant races to date do
not necessarily indicate a runaway
winning of the National and Ameri
can league championships this year.j
While it is true that the New York!
Nationals and the Boston Americans
set a most remarkable pace during
the first two weeks of the season,
there is nothing in the history of
either league to substantiate the be
lief that these two teams will con
iinue their extraordinary percentage
of victories and thus clinch the pen
nants long before the schedules are
completed.
Several unusual factors enter into
the situation this season, one of which
is the fact that the major league play
opened later than has been custom
j ary in past years. While the New
York Giants completed the month of
April with eleven victories and but
one defeat, and Boston lost but two
games out of thirteen played, such a
high winning percentage can hardly'
be maintained with succeeding shifts!
of the circuit teams. Opposing com
binations are certain to grow stronger |
with the approach of war weather,!
increasing practice and competition. I
Furthermore, the initial East vs. West;
clash is likely to develop closer strug ;
gles and a broader distribution of Vie- j
tories.
it sucn was not the case, however, I
statistics based upon the play of the
clubs in both leagues would appear
to bear out the opinion that, remark
able and impressive as the spurts of
the Giants and Red Sox have been,
they cannot be maintained at any
thing like the speed showm during the
first two weeks of the season. Al
though the New' York Nationals' win
ning percentage on May 1 was .917,
the highest on record for the past ten
years, and the Boston Americans'
.846, the second highest in the Ameri
can league for the same period, the
fact stands out that very few' of the
clubs w'hich have led the leagues on
May 1 also closed the season in first
place.
But three such examples have oc
curred in the National league since
1908. In that year the Chicago Cubs ‘
ended the month of April with eight
games won and three lost, for a per
centage of .727. The same team also
won the pennant with .643. In 1915
Philadelphia led on May 1 with a ‘
percentage of .800 and closed the sea- j
son in first place with .592. Last sea
son the Giants were out in front at I
the close of April with a percentage j
of .667, and finally won the pennant
with .636. In the American league,
Detroit, in 1909, led on May 1 with
.769, and captured the pennant with
.645. The Philadelphia Athletics also
duplicated the feat in 1913, when they
won their way into the world series
with a winning league percentage of
.627, after leading on May 1 with!
,769.
It will be seen from the foregoing;
that in the past ten years but five ^
out of the sixteen clubs composing :
the two major league combinations
from season to season have been out
in front at the close of the race in
April and still had the stamina and
playing balance to finish the schedule
race showing the way to the rival
clubs.
The following compilations show
the eJub in each league which led in
the pennant race on May l since 1908:

FAVORS “SCRUB" HORSE
FOR F000 PURPOSES
VANCOUVER, B. C.. May 21.—
George Hoadley, owner of a large
horse ranch near Okotoks, Alta., has
proposed to the Dominion food board
that the “scrub” horses of the west
ern provinces be slaughtered for food
for certain of the allies who are ac
customed to eating this sort of meat.
Mr. Hoadley assured the food board
that 100,000 of these animals could be
purchased by means of Victory _bonds,
without the investment of a dollar in
cash, thus providing for 60,000,000
pounds of nutritious meat, which he
declared was as palatable as moose
meat. The meat would not be supplied
to armies which were unaccustomed
to eating it.
