AMERICAN LEAGUE OPENS DP TODAY Eastern Division Playing, While Western Teams Rest Until Tuesday. The eastern clubs of the American league 'will open today, Philadelphia playing at Washing ton, and Boston holding forth at New York, with Griffith's highlanders. The western clubs will remain idle until Tuesday. The American league race for the 1906 pen nant, according to present indications, .will be one of the hardest fought in that organization, and every game played will have an important bearing on the ownership of the coveted flag. The athletics made a great showing against the Phillies in the spring series, and should win from Washington. Mack's men are evl dently as strong as they were last season, while the strength of the stalwarts is prob 1 lematlcal and will not be known until later. The game at New York will bring Griffith's greatly strengthened highlanders into action. This team is looked upon as having as good a chance as any to win the honors in the coming race, and with an even break in the luck line, will be right there all the way. Not much is expected of Boston, as most of the stars who made the team great have grown old and lost their former skill and prowess to some extent. NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
