NEW YORK, NY. September 2, 1915 - As of this morning, both the Washington Grays of the United League and the Chicago Whales of the Columbia League have five game leads over their league's second place teams.

The Grays, led by manager Francisco Tracey, are finishing what they started last season. Finishing two games behind the Reading Reds, the Grays wanted revenge this season, and so far they've gotten it. With just six games to go, two wins would clinch the United League pennant.

The Whales also have a five game lead for first place. The team chasing them? The expansion St. Paul Saints, who by all accounts have defied expectations. With all three of the other expansion teams at the bottom of the standings, the Saints have surprised everyone with the success they've had. But they've come up just short with six games left and need a miracle to win the pennant.

Chicago, if they do in fact win the pennant, will get a chance to do what they couldn't do last season; Win the Presidents Cup Series.
