Two games were drawn in August.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baltimore, Boston and New York led the first division clubs in the
pennant race up to August 31st, with the respective percentage figures
of .657, .645 and .639, followed by Philadelphia with .562, Brooklyn
with .533 and Cleveland with .529, only one Western club being left in
the first division, something hitherto unprecedented in League pennant
races. Pittsburgh led the second division clubs with the percentage
figures of .491 only, that club having fallen off badly in August, with
Chicago a good second, followed by Cincinnati, St. Louis, Washington and
Louisville, the "Senators" having driven the "Colonels" into the last
ditch, the Louisville figures being .302.
Here is the pennant race record up to the close of the August campaign:
