[from answers to correspondents] In the Clipper of July 15 in the League Record stood: Chicago won, 26; lost 7; Hartford won, 24; lost 6; Chicago having first place. Had not Hartford, by right, to have held first position, as she won a larger per cent. of the games she played than Chicago did? … It is by the won games that the record is made, and not by the percentage.
