CHICAGO CHI-FEDS TAKE OVER FIRST PLACE

There's a new leader atop the Federal League standings.  Chicago's victory over Brooklyn on Friday coupled with the Hoosiers defeat at Pittsburgh gives Joe Tinker's ChiFeds a one game advantage over Indianapolis.
Tip Tops starter Mordecai Brown pitches well in Friday's series opener at Washington Park, just not well enough, or perhaps not as well as his opponent Rankin Johnson.  The ChiFeds starter limits Brooklyn to one earned run on five scattered hits and two walks with ten strikeouts in a complete game winning effort.  Chicago jumps out to a 1-0 lead in the second.  Brooklyn draws even in the third on George Anderson's run batted in.  But the ChiFeds pull away late en route to a 4-1 victory.  Mordecai allows all four runs on eleven hits and one walk with five strikeouts through nine innings.  Shortstop/manager Joe Tinker is 1 for 4 with a run scored.  Center fielder Dutch Zwilling is 3 for 4 with a double, home run, and two runs batted in.

With a change in competition, the Tip Tops are now 7.5 games behind the first place ChiFeds with 15 games left to play.  Chicago has 12 games left to play.
