Chicago White Stockings 30-18 (1 GB)
Boston Red Stockings 30-25
Cincinnati Reds 26-24
Hartford Dark Blues 18-34

Here's what the two contenders have left: Louisville has eight games left, four against Chicago and four against last-place St. Louis. Chicago has eleven - four against Louisville, three against Cincinnati, two against Boston and two against Hartford. It's an easier go for Louisville though Chicago will probably appreciate the extra three games.
