May 18, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Cincinnati Reds 8-1
Cleveland Blues 5-3
Chicago White Stockings 5-4
Troy Trojans 5-4
Providence Grays 4-5
Syracuse Stars 3-5
Boston Red Caps 3-6
Buffalo Bisons 2-7

Along with the startling success of the Cincinnati Reds, the big story so far has been the terrible start of the Boston Red Caps, picked by many (including this writer) to win the pennant. At present, Boston leads the league in runs scored, but has struggled to prevent runs. Things don't get any easier for Boston, as their next six games are against the three-time defending champions, who are trying to shake off a slow start of their own.
