The above table shows that the Boston club's percentage of victories against their Eastern adversaries was .680, while as against the Western clubs their percentage was but .652. The champions won no less than ten games out of the twelve played with the Baltimore, St. Louis and Louisville clubs, and they won eight out of twelve with the Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Chicago clubs; but with the Clevelands they won but seven out of the twelve, and, singularly, they were no more successful with the tail end Washingtons than with the club third in the race; while the Pittsburghs got the best of them by six victories out of the eleven games they played with the Bostons, one being drawn and another scheduled game not played. The Bostons drawn games were their 7 innings game in August with the Pittsburghs and their 5 innings game with the Chicagoes in September.
