New York had pulled up to third place this month, and from this time out these three clubs monopolized the three leading positions in the race, no other club from now on being regarded as in the race, as far as the winning of the pennant was concerned. On the 31st of July two Western clubs occupied positions in the first division--Cleveland being fourth and Pittsburgh sixth--the Brooklyn club leading the "Pirates" by a few points only. The "Phillies" had been forced back into the second division, and Louisville had pushed the Washingtons into the last ditch, the difference in percentage points between the Boston and Washington clubs--the leader and tail-ender--being 355 points. Now came the trying month of August, and with it came the customary falling off in patronage, largely due to the one-sided character of the pennant race, the chief interest in the contest for the championship now lying in the struggle for the lead between Baltimore, New York, and Boston, the "Bean Eaters" still leading at the end of July, followed by Baltimore and New York.
