May 11, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Cincinnati Reds 5-1
Cleveland Blues 5-1
Chicago White Stockings 4-2
Boston Red Caps 3-3
Buffalo Bisons 2-4
Providence Grays 2-4
Troy Trojans 2-4
Syracuse Stars 1-5

Other than the established teams, the Cleveland Blues appear to be the story of the early season. Thus far, it has been Cleveland's veterans - Foran, Bechtel, and Waterman - who have led the charge, with a little help from young players such as Abner Dalrymple and Jack Glasscock. Cleveland plays only Syracuse and Troy for the rest of May, so they have a chance to fatten up their record before taking on Cincinnati and Chicago.
