The top three teams in the AL each have winning percentages of .600 or greater. There are no other AL teams with winning records. Fourth place Boston is 16.5 games off the lead already with nearly three full months left in the season. Cleveland ended the month with a 7-game winning streak and 19-10 record in June. New York closed to within 1 game of the Broncos, thanks to an 8-game winning streak, but Cleveland's late hot-streak pushed the Highlanders back to 6 games off the pace. Philadelphia was 19-9 on the month, but they are still 7 games out. The Athletics were dealt a huge blow mid-month when star centerfielder Terrence Bakula was lost for the season with a broken knee suffered when he collided with the outfield wall.

The surprising Brooklyn Superbas pulled into first place with a 17-10 record. Boston, now one game behind, went 13-14 allowing Brooklyn to take over first place. The New York Giants continued to prove they were real, and actually took first place briefly, but they lost 6 of their last 7 games in June, dropping them to 4th place and 5 games off the lead.

AL - Willie Vedros, 2B, Cleveland Broncos - He hit .326 with 21 RBI and 13 runs scored.

Ancestors:

Whiskey Allen, C, Cleveland - Whiskey hit .367 with 14 RBI and 18 runs scored. He had a whopping 6 hits on June 7th in an important 12-inning win versus New York. That set an AL record for hits in an extra-inning game. Whiskey still leads the AL with a .396 average. Worth noting is the fact that the Cardinals' Woody Woodson leads the NL with a .417 average... after half the season has passed no less!

Heinrich Kahle, 1B, Cincinnati - He hit .235 (8 for 34) with 5 RBI and 2 runs scored.

Campbell Ditty, CF, New York (N) - Ditty slumped to .139 (5 for 36) on the month, and the surprising Giants slipped to 4th.

Dummy Netsky, SP, Boston (A) - Dummy pitched in 3 games and made his first 2 career starts. On the month, he was 1-1 with a 1.56 ERA. In 17.1 innings, he allowed 5 runs (3 earned) on 16 hits and 5 walks with 9 K's. His first career win came on June 23rd against the White Sox.
