They went to the front by whipping the Phillies again while the Cubs were being lambasted by the Giants. However, the Smokeville crew need not feel too cocky over their position as they are only a teeny, weeny point ahead of the Cubs. The Giants are in third place, twenty-four points behind the Pittsburgs. The Phillies have had a very disastrous trip, being in fourth place now, five full games from the top rung of the championship ladder. The Cardinals are next in line, with but a scant half game separating them from the Quakers.
