Two exchanges Of positions, one in the
National League pennant race and the
other In the International League compe
tltlon, were wrought in the rank of the
clubs by the results of the past weeks
championship games. The exchange in
Ihe National League was between CIeve-
land and Chicago, the latter taking fourth
place from the former. Early in the week
New York lost considerable ground to
Boston, but later she recovered much
of it.
Pittsburg pulled up nicely towards fifth
place and was better favored than the
other clubs, having won five of six games
Boston won four of six games and New
York captured four of seven Chicago
and indianapolis each won three victories
and suffered as many defeats, while Phila-
delphia dropped five of eight games.
Washington scored four losses and two
successes and Cleveland lost five success
i've encounters and won one.
The schedule for the present week
gives New York six games at home,
three with Washington and three with
Boston, the latter encounters being
the last of the series between
the two leading clubs. Before playing
the Giants, the Beaneaters are slated for
three games at Philadelphia. The Quakers
also have three games at Washington
Both Cleveland and Pittsburg have six
games at home, Chicago and Indianapolis
alternating at the two places. These
games will be interesting, as they may
cause triangular seesaw for fourth, fifth
and sixth rank between Anson's Babies,
the Spiders and the Alleghanies Here is
the record to date:--
