Cincinnati (Reds Grounds) and Cleveland (South End Gounds II) move to meet the league required 2000 seating level. Two of the expansion clubs (St. Louis and Providence) all received a two year exemption from this rule. The South End Grounds II, built across the street from the original South End Grounds, was only 331 feet at it's deepest point rendering "power hitting to an unremarkable skill". Cleveland pledges to have the park replaced within 5 years.

In a tremendous development for the CA, the New York Giants and Boston Beaneaters both put up a fight for the pennant. The Cubs, once again, held both teams off to take the title. In an humiliating development, the Cincinnati Reds finished behind both CA expansion clubs.

In the UL the Tigers won with a comfortable margin over Cleveland. Expansion Providence finished 4th and Louisville came in 6th ahead of once proud Pittsburgh and perennial tail ender Indianapolis.

The Tigers win the Chadwick Trophy 3-2, the first series to go the distance.
