William Hulbert handed down his punishment to the Philadelphia and New York clubs, and it was as draconian as could be - the death sentence for those two teams. With the announcement that neither of them will henceforth be welcome in the National League, the League is left with six teams - Chicago and five also-rans. Many are now suggesting that Hulbert is deliberately taking advantage of the situation to create a dominant Chicago team. Whatever the reason, there are now several teams with a ways to go before they can contend for the NL crown.
