The National League standings remained in a holding pattern this week, as nearly all of the top teams split their games against second-division clubs. This week, though, should be interesting, as Boston takes on both Detroit and Cleveland. Anson, Barnes and the rest of the Boston crew have a chance to put some distance between themselves and the other contenders, but those contenders also will have an opportunity to sneak into the top spot.
In individual achievements, Anson and Troy's Big Dan Brouthers are absolutely dominating basically all offensive categories.

As St. Louis continues to lead the AA by a wide margin, one of the most important statistics in the league is that the upstart "Beer and Whiskey League" is leading the senior circuit in the important attendance per game category.
On the field, only Louisville and Cincinnati seem to have the firepower to compete with St. Louis, and neither of them have fielders who are nearly as good as the Brown Stockings. It appears that this western-oriented league will have the westernmost champion base ball has ever seen.
