THE STATISTICS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

During the League championship season of 1888 an aggregate of 552 games
were played, of which 530 were victories and defeats; and 22 were drawn
games, and two were won by forfeit. Of the 552 games played and won, no
less than 432 were won by single figure scores, and but 98 by double
figures. A noteworthy feature of the campaign was, that while the New York
Club won the championship by 84 victories to Chicago's 77, with but 47
defeats to Chicago's 58, they failed to score as many runs in the
aggregate as the Chicago Club did by 659 to 725, the Chicago's majority of
runs being 66. The New York Club's score of runs, in fact, was exceeded by
Detroit, Boston, and even Indianapolis, the latter's aggregate of runs
being 666.
