Orphans 10-3 in May, Jump to 1st

CHICAGO, IL. May 16, 1913 - After finishing April in 3rd place with an 11-10 record, the defending champions have put together a good first-half of May and now sit in first place.

After the retirement of Patrick Bunch, many wondered whether Orphans pitching would be able to replicate last year's success. In a way, they haven't. The teams 2.68 ERA is good, but still just 4th in the United League. Their real strength has been at the plate, leading the United League in batting average, on-base percentage, and walks.

Shortstop Gilbert Stiles is leading the club with a .393 average.
