The Beaneaters who started off the season so promising just collapsed in the month of September as they went 7-13 allowing the White Stockings to take over first place. The offense which was scoring at a blistering pace has now gone stagnant and the pitching which was terrific, has been mediocre, at best. Cap Anson is hitting .312, well below his .382 career average, and has been plagued by injuries as well. The Chicago White Stockings took full advantage of Boston's troubles. Pitcher Daisy Davis looks like a Cartwright Award winner as he has 40 wins and only 12 defeats with a 1.74 ERA.

While the Orioles might not have the best offense in the Association, there is no doubt that they possess the best 1-2 pitching tandem in the league in Bob Black and Bob Emslie. Black has fashioned a 35-17 mark with 4 SHO while Emslie is 29-12 with 3 SHO. In regards to the AA batting title, Louisville's Pete Browning (.336) has a 1 point lead over Philadelphia's Dan Brouthers (.335). Louisville has 1 game left while Philadelphia has 2 games remaining.
