We might have a race in the American League after all. The Boston Americans continue to dog the heels of the Washington Senators, ending June just 2.5 games behind the perennial front-runners in the AL. Boston is doing it on the basis of the strength of their batting, as they have the second-best average in the loop at .250 while Washington's .238 is slightly below the league average (.239). Washington is winning on the strength of its pitching (as usual) with a 1.89 team ERA that is the best - by far - in either league.

The National race is slightly wider, with the Giants maintaining a tidy 5.5 game lead on the Brooklyn Superbas.
