Boston Leads United League

BOSTON, MA. June 21, 1913 - After finishing the 1912 season in last place, the Americans got off to a hot start, finishing April with a 14-8 record. But May was a different story. The club went 12-15, dropping them to 4th place.

But the club has been hot again in June. The Americans won 3 of 4 in Cleveland, split a 4-game series with Washington, won 3 of 4 in Detroit, and then finished their two and a half week road trip by sweeping a 4-game series in St. Paul, putting them in first place.

Boston's .278 batting average is the best in the United League, in large part because of second baseman Richard von Bulcher. During spring camp last year, the 28-year-old severely injured his leg, and he ended up missing the entire season. Now, he's off to a brilliant start, hitting .364 and stealing 16 bases.
