They had already won nine out of the twelve games that they had played with us during the season, and looked upon the result here as a foregone conclusion.

They reckoned without their host, however, on this occasion, as we won three straight games from them, the scores being 7 to 4, 2 to 1, and 8 to 3 respectively.

Boston, Detroit, Buffalo and St.Louis finished as named.
