Not the case here.
I checked the schedule and there was no 1 game playoff between Providence and Chicago.

My guess is if you played the actual schedule Chicago finished 8 games under .500 and played one less game in reality. I know in the modern world they will make up a missed game if there are playoff implications. That would not have had to happen since Chicago was not in contention (if they did that in 1884)-so maybe ootp sees the season is over but Chicago didn't "finish" the season so didn't qualify since you played the real schedule and they played one less game Providence. Best I got....
