The Baltimore club retained the leading position in the race at the
close of the June campaign with the percentage figures of .712, the
tail-end club's percentage figures being .255, a difference in
percentage points of .457, thereby showing a poorly contested race even
at that early period of the season. Boston was in second position, with
Brooklyn third, this month's figures being the culmination of the
Brooklyn team's success. Pittsburgh was fourth, that being the only
Western club in the first division, although so early in the race, the
"Phillies" and the "Giants" being respectively fifth and
sixth. Cleveland headed the second division at the close of the month,
followed by Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and Washington, Louisville
being still occupants of the last ditch.
