Still no decisive moves as all four Associations stay tight entering June. Tightest of all is the WC National, where three teams - the Buckeyes, East, and American Giants - are all tied at the top with 32-18 records.

Two surprises so far are the differing fortunes to this point of the Black Yankees and Red Sox. While the BYs are really struggling at 22-28 and 10 back in the FC American, the MeSox have improved out of sight from their turgid '68 campaign to be a game over 500 and still well in the hunt in the FC National.
