The Tokyo Rising Sun won 19 of 27 games for the month of June to establish themselves as the team to beat in this, the first season of the League of Nations. The Japanese national team is 2nd in the AA in runs scored with 262 and #1 in runs allowed with 196. They're beginning to put a bit of ground between themselves and the rest of the league. Fortunately, the 2nd place team gets a playoff berth as well.

The EU is quite a bit closer, with no team emerging as a true front-runner just yet. The masterful pitching of Florian Knaus and Ludwig Senner are keeping Vienna on top of the league but nipping at their heels are the Paris Revolutions, with a league-leading .307 average and 4 starters hitting .300 (CF Herve Fischer, 1B Jean-Pascal Dumoulin, RF Didier Bernard, and 3B Moise Gros).

Schroeder, Aurochs Eckhardt Named May Players of the Month

The Giants were not expected to do much this year. They've basically had to train their entire team in baseball from scratch. It is a measure of American stick-to-it-tiveness, then, that their lineup boasts a man who seems so familiar with the game this early. CF Terry Schroeder hit .426 last month with 28 RBIs. The 25 year old son of a druggist from Vancouver, Washington credits his success to his vision. "I like to look at things," he told the League. "I can watch birds all day long. Pigeons in the city are wonderful. And then when I come into the ballpark, I just look at pitches all day long, too." Schroeder is using that pitch-watching acumen to get on base more than half the time he's come to the plate so far this year.

The European League is a more primitive grouping, featuring players who hadn't even heard of the game until a couple years ago. Witness Kristian "Aurochs" Eckhardt, the strapping 6'2" left fielder for the Berlin Teutonic Knights. "After twenty years of hitting on nails with my hammer, the baseball is easy and I am good at it," he said. Aurochs, named after a now-extinct species of extra-large cow, hit 3 of his league-leading 4 homeruns last month, adding a .361 batting average and collecting 5 hits in one game against the Rome Cardinals on May 24.

Commonwealthers Share Pitcher of the Month

British citizens are extra proud this month after seeing Royal Canadian Mounted Baseballist Bernard Thivierge and Freddie Turvill of the London Monarchs shared Pitcher of the Month honors for the month of May. Thivierge started the month in the Mounted Baseballists' bullpen but emerged as their top moundsman, collecting a 6-1 record and a 2.13 ERA. Turvill rebounded from a 2-3 April to become just plain unhittable, allowing 46 base knocks in 57 innings, thanks in part to a 20/10 strikeout to walk ratio. "To be perfectly honest, I'm just happy that we took the award from the Frenchies," said Turville, referring to Joel Lemoine's April POTY title.

Ilia Akbash Says Capitalism "His Thing", Defects To London

As if the month could not begin any better for the London Monarchs, today they announced that disgruntled Moscow Proletariat CF Ilia Akbash had defected from his team to join their squad. Akbash has not been hitting well in limited playing time but his issues run deeper than that. "I am hearing that they are speaking of renaming my beloved Petrograd after that Bolshevik Vladimir Lenin. Some things you can just not stand for." Akbash reports to the team effective today. The move comes at a very opportune time; just 3 days earlier, London heard that Opening Day LF and Euro League stolen bases leader Byron Feveryear would miss the next 7 to 8 weeks with a strained hamstring muscle.
