The season was a tragic one, as outfielder Hub Collins left a game on May 14 because he was feeling ill. A week later he was dead, the victim of typhoid fever. The team put on a benefit game to raise money for his widow on May 29.[2] One bright spot, however, was first baseman Dan Brouthers, who won the batting title with a .335 batting average.[2]
