The record of the victories and defeats scored each month of the
championship campaign is appended, by which it will be seen that the
record of the Brooklyn team for October surpassed that of any other club's
monthly record of the season. Cincinnatis led in April, Brooklyn in May,
the Athletics in June, Cincinnatis in July, St. Louis in August, while in
September St. Louis and Brooklyn tied, Brooklyn leading in October. St.
Louis's best month's work was done in August, Brooklyn's in October, the
Athletics' in June, the Cincinnatis' in July, the Baltimores' in
September, the Clevelands' in September, the Louisvilles' in July, and the
Kansas Citys' in August. Kansas City was the only club which failed in at
least one month to score more victories than defeats, their best record
for any month being a tie in victories and defeats. Here is the table in
full:
