Philadelphia maintained their lead in the AL after going 18-9 in June. Cleveland lost the league's leading hitter Whiskey Allen with a torn achilles tendon in his leg. He's expected to miss nearly two months. Without him, Cleveland has tanked.
Chicago struggled at 14-13 this month, but they managed to increase their lead in the NL. Brooklyn and St. Louis are still close behind, but neither had an impressive month.

Ancestors:
Whiskey Allen, C, Cleveland - Whiskey tore his achilles tendon while running the bases on June 4th. He missed the rest of the month and probably won't be back until early August. Question is, will there even be pennant hopes remaining for Cleveland when he gets back?
Chief Netsky, SP, Cleveland - Chief was 2-3 with a 4.33 ERA. He still struggles at time, but coaches like his mechanics and they claim he is improving.
Heinrich Kahle, 1B, Cincinnati - The German hit .194 (6 for 31) with 2 RBI and 3 runs scored. He still hasn't earned an everyday spot.
Campbell Ditty, CF, New York (N) - Ditty hit .242 (8 for 33) with 6 RBI and 3 runs scored. On June 6th, he hit his first career homerun against Brooklyn.
