August 12, 1877 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Chicago White Stockings 26-12
Louisville Grays 22-17
Hartford Dark Blues 21-18
Boston Red Caps 19-20
St. Louis Brown Stockings 16-23
Cincinnati Reds 10-24

Evidently Chicago didn't like anyone getting close, as they had a big week, splitting two games with Louisville and taking two from the lowly Reds. Conversely, Louisville lost its other two games of the week, against the suddenly resurgent Brown Stockings. Of course there is still time enough for Louisville and Hartford to catch Chicago, but it's going to take a slump for them to do so.

In other news, Cal McVey, whose contract with Boston was due to expire at the end of the season, signed a huge five-year extension that will keep him in New England through the 1882 season. It appears Boston is finally starting to plan for a future that does not simply involve them losing all of their expensive players.
