St. Louis Browns 10-7
Pittsburgh Alleghenys 9-7

Baltimore's hitting attack has them on top of the AA, although they share the top spot with a very surprising contender - the brand new Columbus club. While Columbus does have good pitching and defense, it seems hard to imagine that they'll maintain this lofty position for much longer.
