 The attendance at the four games on April 27th aggregated 30,000, while at the two games of April 28th over 23,000 people were present, the opening at New York being a great success. By the end of the first month of the season 32 games had been played, with the appended result:

It will be seen that the Cleveland club ended the opening month's brief campaign with the lead, while the Pittsburgh club had to be content with the tail end position, the former not losing a game in April, while the latter did not win one.

The May campaign, however, saw a surprising change made in the relative positions of the competing teams, the Pittsburgh club making quite a brilliant rally during the month, with the gratifying result of pushing themselves right among the six leaders, to begin with, and then ending the May campaign by taking the leading position, with the Brooklyn club a good second and the Clevelands third, the other three of the six clubs occupying the leading positions being the Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore clubs, the Louisville having to be content with the tail end position for the month of May, as the appended record shows:
