The Giants completed a 20-4 month of June, as the team which dismantled the league last year is doing it again, albeit in a different uniform. Currently New York is 50-14 and holds a 12.5 game lead on the second-place Beaneaters.

Bruno Barbella has taken his place atop the batting list again, with a .404 mark, good for a 21-point lead on Boston's Staudenmaier. New York's pitching, which is about the only holdover from the former regime, has been good but not overpowering, which is something of a relief for a league which is routinely battered by the ridiculous array of talent in the New York lineup. True Fairhead of Cleveland and Boston's Stanley Sweetwater each have 12 wins to lead the loop while St. Louis pitcher Harry Tague, who came over from Baltimore this past winter, has the League's top earned run mark with a 1.91 average.


Harry "Rebel" Tague, St. Louis
