Of the races in both the National and
| American leagues was the feature Of
! the past weeks play. Both the Chi
cago teams made a rather poor show
! ing. the Nationals being threatened
! for the leadership by Philadelphia,
while Brooklyn was close behind.
| The Chicago Americans were being
pressed hard by Detroit while Boston
/ was playing consistent ball
Not only was Ty Cobb leading the
American league in batting, stolen
bases and runs scored, but he was
again and again doing something to
pun out victory for Detroit.
The New York Americans after a
promising start have won only two
of their last thirteen games, while
Washington, St Louis and Philadel
phia are not showing Improvement,
so that the race in the American
league at present seems to be between
Chicago and Detroit
The National league race. however
is growing tighter every day, with
New York trailing yet, having good
chance, while the most notable prog
ress Of the week was made by Brook
lyn, which team won five out of eight
games.
Boston failed to do anything to I'M
prove their standing during the week,
closing their at home stay weakly, but
coming out winner today at Cincin-
natl after opening their western inva-
sion with defeat
Philadelphia failed to take advan
tage of Inc Cubs Indifferent work,
which explains why the Quakers are
still in second place st. Louis, Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati are close to-
gether with changes in their relative
standing positions in the play Of day
or two.
The Federal league race continues
close among six Of the eight teams,
with repeated shifts in the lead. Chi
cago has slumped rapidly while Kan
sas City, st. Louis and Pittsburgh are
fighting in the top division.
