Apologies to anyone who might be reading. I was without internet at home for about three weeks due to a move and some issues with the cable company, which have now (hopefully) been resolved.

At any rate, things continued in my league, and here's where we now are:

July 21, 1878 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Chicago White Stockings 22-13
Cincinnati Reds 20-15
Boston Red Caps 19-11
Indianapolis Blues 19-16
Milwaukee Grays 11-23
Providence Grays 8-21

Although Cincinnati and Indianapolis are both staying close to the "big two," it appears likely that the race will come down to Chicago and Boston. Boston, predictably enough, is led by the superstar trifecta of McVey, Barnes and Anson, who are probably the NL's three best hitters this season. Chicago's stars were Meyerle and John Bass, until Bass went down to a season-ending (and career-threatening) injury late in June. Since then, Tom Barlow has stepped up nicely for Chicago, but the White Stockings seem to be doing it with smoke and mirrors, as the Boston lineup is just devastating with their three stars.
