The Cleveland Blues are well on their way to representing the National League in the World Series. Meanwhile, Cap Anson is on a tear for the Beaneaters and has his average up to .390. Meanwhile, for the White Stockings, pitcher Daisy Davis has suffered another injury. Fans of the club are left wondering how good they could have been if Davis would have stayed healthy this year. Davis is 24-4 with a 1.25 ERA in 30 games to date.
