Robins, PhillieS and Braves
Each Held First Place
During Week.

Changes came quickly among the
three leaders in the National League
rcnnant race during the last week. and
followers Of the game were treated 20
probably the most exciting period Of
the 1916 season.
Brooklyn, league leader since the
first week Of May, held the lead when
the Labor Day games began, but the
close Of play that day found Boston
clinging 20 the topmost rung Of the
championship ladder. The Braves, how
ever. were less than two full points
ahead Of Brooklyn and Philadelphia
tied for second place.
Tuesday the Robins and Phillies went
into a tie for first place. while Boston
dropped 20 third. Philadelphia did not
play " Wednesday, but went into first
place by ! point because Brooklyn
could only break even IN a double
header against New York.
Gain I Points.
The champions clung 20 the lead
through Thursday and Friday, with
Brooklyn and Boston second and third.
The week ended with Brooklyn IN the
coveted place with a gain Of 4 points
for the week Philadelphia was second
al the end. II points behind Brooklyn
and Boston was third
Philadelphia played the best ball OF
the three contendcrs and Boston made
the poorest showing The champions
took every game Of the series with
Brooklyn and continued their GOOD
work against Boston, running their
string Of victories up 20 eight. They
met their first defeat Of the week IN
New York on Friday. and then lost two
20 ire Giants on Saturday.
Since August Philadelphia has
been playing more consistently than a.
any time since the fall Of 1915. Brook
