May 12, 1878 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Chicago White Stockings 4-2
Cincinnati Reds 4-2
Boston Red Caps 3-1
Milwaukee Grays 2-4
Indianapolis Blues 2-4
Providence Grays 1-3
It appears the two teams favored to contend for the 1878 title may have a little company, at least for the early going. Thanks to strong early performances by George Bechtel, Steve Bellan and Bobby Mitchell, the Cincinnati Reds are holding their own, and took two out of three from the defending champs last week (and nearly swept the surprised Chicagoans).
