Sunday Base Ball Report

Streak Ends at 21; Boston Still on Track for Pennant

Although the defending champion Chicago White Stockings managed to end the Boston winning streak at 21 games, the boys in red still are comfortably in place for the National League pennant. Here are the standings of the two leagues as the races head into their final weeks:

Boston 61-28
Cleveland 53-35
Chicago 52-38

New York 54-34
St. Louis 55-35
Cincinnati 51-39

It appears that the pennants will go to Boston and either New York or St. Louis.
