AMERICAN LEAGUETEAMS SHOWBESTFORM IN EARLY GAMES--AMUSEMENT GOSSIP AMERICAN L SHOWS BEST IN EARLY CONTESTS New York, April 14.—American League baseball teams made a much bet ter showing in the recent ante-season, inter-league games against the National clubs than was the case a year ago. Out of the lift-odd contests scheduled "during the preliminary and training season just closed, thirty-eight were play ed, of which the National League teams won nineteen, the Americans eighteen and one ended in a tie. Last spring thirty-nine games were played, of which the senior league clubs captured twenty-four and the Ban Johnson clansmen fifteen. ♦ Americans Improve The improvement of the American League combinations in these early season contests is shown in other ways aside from the winning of games. A year ago the Nationals scored twenty-nine more runs than their rivals; this spring the margin was but three. In the batting the junior league players out hit their opponents by a total of fifteen hits while twelve months ago the Na tionals had piled up a lead of nineteen safeties at the end of the play. In the error column the final figures show that the Americans made seventy-seven to the Nationals seventy-five. In 1916 the total was Americans 58; Nationals 61. The results of all the games played this spring, together with hits, runs and errors per game with totals for the past two years, follow: Interleague Gaines Dale Nationals R. H. E. Americans R. H. E.
