September 26, 1880 - Sunday Base Ball Report

Boston Red Caps 52-29
Cleveland Blues 48-32
Chicago White Stockings 47-33
Cincinnati Reds 41-35
Troy Trojans 41-38
Buffalo Bisons 35-43
Providence Grays 29-51
Worcester Ruby Legs 24-56

Things are about wrapped up, as Boston has continued to win and now has a magic number of 1 with three games remaining. Boston would need to lose all three of its remaining games, and Cleveland would have to win all four in order for the two teams to tie for the pennant.

Once again, it was superb hitting that carried the day for Boston. Although Cal McVey has had a down year, Ross Barnes and Cap Anson are as stellar as ever and remain two of the best players in the National League.

In other news, the National League has handed down its edict regarding the Cincinnati flap. For renting their home park to teams that sell beer in the ball park and play games on Sundays, the Reds are being banished from the National League at year's end. The team will be replaced in 1881 by a new team that will play its games in Detroit, Michigan. It will be Michigan's first foray into professional base ball.
