May 28, 1882 - Sunday Base Ball Report
National League
Boston Red Caps 12-5
Cleveland Blues 10-6
Detroit Wolverines 10-6
Troy Trojans 9-8
Chicago White Stockings 7-8
Providence Grays 6-10
Worcester Ruby Legs 6-10
Buffalo Bisons 4-11
Fueled by the strong start of superstar Cap Anson, Boston continues to pace the National League, although they closed the week with back-to-back losses against Providence. This week, they will have one more game against Providence, then three against last-place Buffalo.
Meanwhile, Cleveland only managed a split in their four-game series against Buffalo last week, as did Detroit against the Chicago White Stockings. However, both of them will against be battling against second-division teams this week, so they are hoping to keep pace with the Red Caps.

Ralph Ham of Cincinnati, previously a journeyman of rather indifferent ability, has caught fire in the new AA. Over his last 33 at-bats covering eight games, he has 18 hits, to move him to the front in many offensive categories. Ham is a career .275 hitter whose previous best season was in 1872, when he hit .333 for the Eckford club of Brooklyn.
St. Louis continues to look far better than the rest of the new Association as a team, as they are the one club that is strong in all three areas - hitting, pitching and defense.
