The standings on Sunday, June 25, 1876:
New York Mutuals 21-5
Hartford Dark Blues 15-9
Boston Red Stockings 15-12
Louisville Grays 14-12
Philadelphia Athletics 12-14
Chicago White Stockings 12-15
Cincinnati Reds 9-18
St. Louis Brown Stockings 7-20
The Mutuals seem like they are going to turn this season's pennant race into a runaway. After last season's very close Boston-Chicago battle generated interest, this year the new National League might spend the summer with its first championship all but decided.
