Cleveland struggled with a 15-15 record this month. The team's struggles were magnified on August 30th when they lost one of their key performers, second baseman Willie Verdos, for the season with shoulder problems. St. Louis went 18-12 to pull back to within 1.5 games of the lead.

Boston continues to dominate the NL, and they almost have the pennant sewn up. They currently have an 11-game lead with just 22 games remaining.

Batters of the Month:

AL - Fabian White, 2B, St. Louis Browns - In the first starting job of his career, White hit .396 with 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. He was acquired on July 30th in a trade with Pittsburgh, and immediately was handed the everyday duties at second.

NL - Scott Podlasek, RF, Pittsburgh Pirates - He hit .371 with 22 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Pitchers of the Month:

AL - Doug Vanden, St. Louis Browns - Vanden went 5-0 with a 1.19 ERA as St. Louis pushes for the pennant.

NL - David Smith, St. Louis Cardinals - Smith is a very good pitcher, but little is known about him since he plays for the once-hapless Cardinals. In August, he was 6-2 with a 1.82 ERA. He is 20-13 with a 2.30 on the season, and the Cards may be on their way to the first winning season in team history.

Ancestors:

Whiskey Allen, C, Cleveland - Whiskey hit .344 with 8 RBI and 12 runs scored. The Broncos are in a full-fledged pennant race with the Browns.

Heinrich Kahle, 1B, Cincinnati - Kahle has begun to warm up to NL pitching, and perhaps he was better suited for this league. He hit .273 (9-for-33) this month with 7 RBI and 3 runs scored. With the Reds far out of the pennant race, they would like to give him more at-bats, but it will be tough with the expanded September rosters.

Chief Netsky, SP, New York (A) - Netsky still has seen no action for New York. He should get at least one start before the season is over, since he is already competing in practice for the 4th starter's job. As he develops in his career, he will make a dangerous duo for New York with their other young ace, "The Irish Flame" Eddie Teague.
