It will be seen that the Boston club, which was third in the race, is
first in scoring the most total double figures in their contests, the
"Phillies" being second and the Chicagos third. In total single figure
scores New York takes a decided lead, while the Louisville club is
second and St. Louis third. In single figure victories, however, New
York is first, Baltimore second and Cleveland third; while in double
figure victories Baltimore and Boston are tied and Philadelphia is
third. The totals of 814 single figure games against 741 double figure
contests shows that the pitching is not yet overpowered by the batting,
though the use of the big mitts in infield work had much to do with the
scoring of single figure games. As far as these records show, it would
appear that the New York team really did the best batting of the
season.
