 Although Cleveland has a lead of II points in the American league, the first three clubs are so closely punched as regards games won and lost that one days result has little effect upon the chances of any one of the three win ming the pennant. At present it is a mathematical impossibility to figure out a certain winner.
 The situation in the National league, however, is different, although Brook lyn has not yet clinched the pennant it will take almost superhuman eff fort to nose out the Superbas.
