The Highlanders have proved to be a much tougher team than they were originally given credit for. Their pitching staff continues to be the best in baseball despite having lost two of its stars over the past two seasons. This season, Howard Adams is an outstanding 11-2 with a 1.23 ERA. He is leading the staff, but he's only the #2 starter. The team's top starter, Jassen Nelson, has yet to pitch up to his standards. "The Irish Flame" Eddie Teague has begun to live up to his once-lofty potential after many mediocre seasons. He is 9-4 with a 2.52 ERA, but to his credit, he has spent many seasons buried behind 4 incredible starters in New York. Even the team's 4th starter, Michael Artrip, is having a strong season (7-3, 2.90). Washington slipped in May, going 12-15 and falling to 2nd Place. Meanwhile, the mighty Cleveland Broncos surged ahead to 3rd Place, thanks largely to an 11-game winning streak mid-month.

Chicago and Pittsburgh have risen to the top in the NL. The Cubs were 18-9 in May and have taken a 2 game lead over the Pirates, who were 15-12 during the month. Remember, the Cubs still have never had a losing season in their 10-year history, but they only won the NL pennant once, and that was in 1905 when they also won the World Series. The defending World Champion Boston Rustlers were 10-17 in May and continue to sit in last place, now 10 games behind the Cubs.

On a sad note, New York Giants' starting pitcher James Greenwell was lost for the season with a torn back muscle on May 11th. After receiving much medical advice, he decided to retire at the age of 36. He was named World Series MVP in 1907 when the Giants won their only title. He finished his career with a 152-117 record and a great 2.94 ERA.
