Associated Press Sports Writer With one game left Wednesday before the year's Intersections! play in the major leagues ends, the last east-west series in the big circuits has merely proved what the earlier ones Indicated. The eastern clubs of the American league and the western teams of the National, which have outshone their rivals from the other sections all year, wound up with the most thorough triumph yet. v. Playing on the home grounds of the strongest sections, the Ameri can league's eastern half won 40 games and lost only 14 while the westerners of the National league turned in 3S triumphs to 18 defeats. The Chicago Cubs made the best in dividual showing.

They won 11 games and lost only two. Boston, Philadelphia and New York shared the American league honors, the Red Sox winning 11 and losing four and the A's and Yankees each recording 10 victories to three de feats. Macka Win 105th When they closed their intersec tions! stand with an 8 to 6 victory over Detroit Tuesday, the Athletics, accomplished a feat that no other Philadelphia club ever had done before. It was their 105th. rictory of the season, one more than the great A's of 1929 could win all season.

They still have five games left and the possibility of tying the American league record of 110 victories. George Earnshaw, who won his 21st game of the year, and Roy Ma- haffey gave the champions some wabbly pitching. But thre De-ttoiter more than made up the difference by Issuing 13 walks. And Jimmy Foxx started A's off with a lead that never was over come when he hit his 30th homer of the season with two On In the first inning. Senators Second Washington snatched the opportunity offered by an -open date In the New York schedule and took un disputed possession of second place in the standing with a 7 to 1 victory over the Chicago White.

Sox. Boston's great apurt was checked in the last inning of a battle with St, Louis but the Red Sox managed to hold onto fifth Leading 2-0 going into the ninth, Milt Gaston weakened, the Sox committed two errors and Wiley Moors, who was tossed into the breach, could not get the aide out until five runs had crossed the plate to give the Browns a 5 to 2 victory. After wasting a number of opportunities in the regular route, the Pittsburgh Pirates finally beat -out the Phillies to 2 in the thirteenth inning of the National league's best battle. Heinle Melne held Philadelphia to Ave hits while the Pirates made 10 and got the benefit of 13 walks and six sacrifices but 20 Pittsburghers were- left on base. Brooklyn closed the National league season so far aa St Louis Is concerned by downing the cham pion Cardinals to in their final encounter.

Paul Derringer's streak of wildness in the seventh with Or- satti's error and O'DouTa timely single gave the Robins three runs to put them ahead and Jack Quinn, relieving Mungo, held the Carda In check to the end. The other National league clubs had an off day.
