The cold figure for the past two weeks of Intersectlonal campaigning. with the eant "at homo' in the Ju nior circuit and the west in the Na tional are distinctly lopsided. The American league's eastern clubs re corded 25 victories to 10 for the in vadcrs. The western teams of tho National won 27 and lost only 18. Despite their frequent defeats, however. Cleveland. Detroit, the St. Louis Browns ond possibly the Chi cago White Sox gave slgiia that they may be somewhat more troublesome when they start playing on their own fields tomorrow. Of tho eight Ameri can league clubs only the league lead ing New York Yankees gained any big advantage in the first lntersec tlonal series. They took nine out of ten decisions and Increased their margin over the second-place Cleve land Indians from y2 games to 4y2.
