_In August_ Boston rallied in brilliant style, scoring 16 victories out
of 22 games, quite a contrast to their poor work in July; New York was
second, and Pittsburgh third, the latter doing better, even, than in July;
Philadelphia stood fourth, Chicago fifth, Washington sixth, with
Indianapolis seventh and Detroit last, the latter only winning five
victories out of 21 games in August.

_In September_ Chicago rallied well and went to the front in the record
of the month's victories, Pittsburgh being second, New York third, Detroit
fourth--the latter rallying; Philadelphia sixth, with Indianapolis and
Washington bringing up the rear. By the close of the month New York had
virtually settled the question of the championship, and the only struggle
left was that for second place.

_In October_ Philadelphia made its usual "spurt" at the finish, and that
club won eight out of nine games in October, after giving Chicago a close
fight for second place, and came in a good third in the pennant race. New
York was second in the October victories, Boston third, Pittsburgh and
Washington tied for fourth, Chicago was sixth--that club gaining second
position in the pennant race; Indianapolis and Washington being the two
last. Here is the full record of the monthly victories and defeats of the
campaign:
