 Point

Pittsburg this morning is in the lead in the National league pennant race, the two victories won by the club In St, Louis breaking the tie with Chicago and increasing Pittsburg's percentage mark by five points.

 In the American league, Detroit and Cleveland both won their games, the latter club retaining second position by virtue of Its defeat of Chicago.
