The St. Louis club opened the April campaign among the leaders, and put up their stock to a premium, by ending the month's record tied with Boston and Cleveland for first place, each with a percentage of .750, the club's special rival—Comiskey's Cincinnati "Reds"—ending the April campaign tied with Baltimore for fifth place. After this April spurt in the race, however, the "Browns" began to fall back in their record during May, and by the 7th of that month were down to sixth position, and on May 14th they had to give way to Cincinnati, they then falling back into the second division ranks; and on the 17th of May they were down to ninth place, and then the best they could do during the last week of the May campaign was to end eighth in the race on May 31st. During June they tried to get back into the first division, but they failed to reach higher than seventh position. During July they got lower down in the ranks of the second division, and they ended that month's campaign as low as tenth place, and they were kept there until the very last day of the season, when two victories over the Washingtons, with a tie game between Cincinnati and Cleveland, enabled the "Browns" to win the consolation prize, viz., leading Cincinnati at the finish, by the percentage figures of .424 to .419, the St. Louis team ending in ninth place and the Cincinnatis in tenth position.

The record of the St. Louis club for 1894 giving the victories and defeats scored, with the total of games played and the percentage of victories against each club; also, the record of the series of games won, lost, tied and unfinished, together with that of the "Chicago" victories and defeats and the single and double figure victories and defeats scored by the club, is as follows:
