The first month of professional baseball is in the books. The Athletics are the only undefeated team, although they've only played one game. Early front runners are the White Stockings (5-1) and Washington Olympics (7-3). Batter of the month was Ezra Sutton. The Forest City of Cleveland third baseman has 17 hits in 42 at-bats to go with his lead leading 5 doubles. Pitcher of the Month Al Spalding led the Red Stockings to a 4-4 record with 71.1 innings pitched and leading the league with 7 strike outs.
