1st June 1883
The Quakers have continued their poor season as they have again frustrated their fans. The team picked up only 9 wins during the month as they saw 17 losses given away. This has seen them rooted to the bottom of the NL table 21 games behind the leaders.
The poor form started right from the beginning of the month as they split the final 2 games of the road trip to the New York Gothams 1-1 before being swept 0-3 in the next 3 series. Those series were at home to the Brooklyn Atlantics, on the road to the Chicago White Stockings and at home to the St Louis Browns. The form then saw some improvement as they went 2-1 on the road to the Cincinnati Red Stockings and 2-1 at home to the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. The form trailed off again as they went 1-2 on the road to the Boston Beaneaters and 1-2 at home to the New York Gothams. They finished the month with a 2-1 road trip win at the Brooklyn Atlantics.
The only player to really show any form during the month was First Baseman Ed Swartwood. Swartwood picked up 34 hits from 99 at bats during his 26 starts. This gave him 11 runs and 19 RBI''s for an average of .343
Short Stop Monk Cline will miss 3 weeks of the season after picking up an inflammed elbow.
The team claimed Pitcher Hugh Campbell from the Chicago White Stockings.
This then meant they could trade 35 year old First Baseman to the Washington Nationals getting 22 year old Centre Fielder Edgar Smith in return. They also traded 27 year old Pitcher George Radbourn to the Washington Nationals in exchange for 22 year old minor league Third Baseman Charlie Kelly.
The team lost Catcher Jim Farrow to the New York Gothams on waivers.
The players selected for the NL All Star Squad from the Quakers were Second Baseman Gene Kimball and Left Fielder Bill Kelly.
Neither player started in the NL's 5-8 loss
