Canada Owns The 1876 Brown Stockings


The Maple Leaves, champions of Canada, to-day defeated the St. Louis Brown Stockings, by a score of 9 to 8.

Interestingly, while the Browns were getting beaten by the Maple Leafs on the 29th, the Reds were in Hamilton, beating the Standards 22-0. At least one St. Louis baseball club was able to handle the Canadian scourge.
