September 5, 1880 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Boston Red Caps 41-26
Chicago White Stockings 40-27

Cleveland Blues 36-29
Troy Trojans 35-30
Buffalo Bisons 33-34
Providence Grays 22-44

We are into the final month of the season, and suddenly it looks like a two-team race between Boston and Chicago. Cleveland has completely fallen apart since being at 35-19, and has now lost 10 of 11 games to fall to a distant fourth place.
Both Boston and Chicago seem to be peaking at the right time, and it looks like we will have a returning champion in 1880. Meanwhile, Cal McVey of Boston is at 986 hits, and looks very likely to become the first man ever to reach 1,000 by season's end.
