June 1st, 1884 - King Kelly has a hit in every game so far this year, and the Chicago White Stockings hold a 2 1/2 game lead in the National League. Buffalo led for most of May, but have slumped as of late. Cleveland is yet again in the thick of it, and the Philadelphia Quakers have climbed the ladder going 8-2 in their last 10.
There are a slew of good teams in the American Association this year, but it's currently the Athletics who hold the lead by 1 game over Toledo.
In the Union Association, the Philadelphia Keystones cling to a 1/2 game lead over the St. Louis Maroons. So in all 3 leagues, the teams from Philly are doing very well!
