The Baltimore club retained the leading position in the race at the close of the June campaign with the percentage figures of .712, the tail-end club's percentage figures being .255, a difference in percentage points of .457, thereby showing a poorly contested race even at that early period of the season. Boston was in second position, with Brooklyn third, this month's figures being the culmination of the Brooklyn team's success. Pittsburgh was fourth, that being the only Western club in the first division, although so early in the race, the "Phillies" and the "Giants" being respectively fifth and sixth. Cleveland headed the second division at the close of the month, followed by Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and Washington, Louisville being still occupants of the last ditch.
