June 18, 1882 - Sunday Base Ball Report
National League
Boston Red Caps 21-9
Detroit Wolverines 18-10
Cleveland Blues 15-14
Providence Grays 14-15
Worcester Ruby Legs 13-16
Chicago White Stockings 11-16
Troy Trojans 12-18
Buffalo Bisons 11-17
Cleveland's recent slump threatens to turn the National League into a two-team race, as longtime doormat Providence nearly snuck into third place in the NL this week. Boston already swept the Blues in a three-game series earlier this month, and now they will be heading to the Forest City to try to knock them into the second division this week.
Meanwhile, Detroit will be testing whether Providence is as good as their recent 7-2 surge would indicate.
Also, Charlie Eden of the Chicago White Stockings had a big game this week, going 5 for 5 and hitting for the cycle against the Boston Red Caps. He is the fourth player ever to hit for the cycle, and the first since Art Allison did it on October 4, 1876.

Even with an off-week, the St. Louis Brown Stockings still look much, much better than the competition in the American Association. In particular, veteran Al Thake and youngster Charlie Comiskey have been impressive, as the team seems destined to cruise to the inaugural AA pennant.
