The Cardinals have increased their lead in the National League pennant race. St. Louis, which has an 84-51 record, is 8.5 games ahead of New York, with Boston (9.5 back) third and defending champion Pittsburgh have dropped to fourth, 11 games off the pace. In other NL news, Floyd Dill and Charlie Venables of Cincinnati are locked in a tight race for the batting crown. 1B Dill, known as "Pickles" to his teammates, is hitting .325 while RF Venables is right behind him at .322. Aidan O'Day of New York has matched St. Louis' Tommy Powell at 24 wins to top the loop, but Powell's 1.24 ERA is still the best in the National League.

Cleveland (78-59) is 2.5 games ahead of Boston, with both Detroit and Philadelphia three games behind the Blues. Newt Madewell's .354 average has him leading the batting race, though Boston's Sean McGonigle is closing in on Philadelphia's star hitter. McGonigle's .348 is second and he has a proven track record of outstanding hitting. Bob Batts has racked up 32 victories for Philadelphia, by far the best in base ball, but Detroit's 'Cyclone' Filigree has a 1.17 ERA to hold the lead in that category.
