September 17, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Chicago White Stockings 44-18
Philadelphia Athletics 40-19
New York Mutuals 38-17
Hartford Dark Blues 32-24
Boston Red Caps 24-36
Louisville Grays 22-40
St. Louis Brown Stockings 19-41
Cincinnati Reds 18-42

What could be a good pennant race is basically over, as the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Mutuals will not be making their final trip west. That means they are pretty much done with their respective schedules, and that matters rest in the hands of President William Hulbert. It is presently uncertain whether he will elect to spread the reins of power a bit more evenly or attempt to consolidate his power by punishing the two franchises.

In the meantime, the schedule winds down and Hulbert's team is basically assured of winning the first-ever National League pennant. There will be one more weekly report in two weeks, and then we will have the season-ending report in mid-October when the final games conclude.
