It's the final month of the season, and two teams still have a good shot at winning their first-ever National League pennant. (Syracuse has played well, but it is believed that they are about to suspend their season due to financial difficulties.) Here are the remaining schedules:

Boston: 3 vs. Chicago (home), 3 vs. Cincinnati (home), 3 vs. Cleveland (home), 6 vs. Providence (3 home, 3 road)
Cincinnati: 3 vs. Troy (away), 3 vs. Boston (away), 3 vs. Providence (away), 4 vs. Buffalo (away), 4 vs. Cleveland (away)

If Boston goes 5-10 and Cincinnati goes 5-13 the rest of the way, Syracuse can win the pennant.
