victories for that month, that club not sustaining a single defeat in
April. Chicago stood second, with New York and Pittsburgh tied in the
number of victories and defeats credited and charged to each club, Detroit
standing fifth, while Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Washington brought up
the rear.
_In May_ Chicago led all the other teams in their victories that month;
Detroit being second, Philadelphia third, New York fourth, and Boston
fifth, Indianapolis being sixth, with Pittsburgh and Washington tied for
last place in the May record, Boston and Pittsburgh falling off badly this
month.
_In June_ Detroit won the most victories, it being their best month's
work of the season, Chicago being second, Philadelphia third, New York
fourth, Boston fifth, Washington sixth, with Indianapolis seventh and
Pittsburgh last, it being the latter club's poorest month's work of the
campaign.
