Thursday, July 31, 1884
Pittsburgh Stogies (38-26 .594 9.5 GB tied for 3rd place in the Grand National Association) at
Omaha Mutuals (48-17 .738 1st place)

We are 0-2 against Lilly on the year and it would seem Tom Lee's 10 game winning streak is in serious danger of coming to an end. Especially with the way we have been playing defense lately. The all-time winning streak record is by Charlie Morlock (35-6.7) of Boston when he won 11 in a row in 1881. Joe Peters (28-4.9) of Boston currently has a 9 game winning streak going.

Tom Lilly, Pitts. (24-6.4) (L 19-6 2.31 7.0-1.3-5.8 H-BB-K/9) vs. Tom Lee, Omaha (26-6.0) (R 18-4 2.01 6.5-1.4-6.3)

Won - 2 to 0

In Chicago, a court ruled that the Colts' Lake Front Park illegally obstructs the view and blocks the wind from the homes to the west of it. They are ordered to find a new place to play, but are allowed to finish this season in the park. Good riddance, I say, to those stupid 180 foot fences.
