championship Records.
The base ball talk o: last season is now
about wound up and the talk is all of next
season. The championship games ended a
week ago. About $1,000 people witnessed
these contests-2o. 600 in Cleveland and
Il, 900 in Boston. The series resulted in
walkover for Boston, who won every game
played-fivs in all The Clevelands we're
ontplayed ia all departments. They were
also outlucked and proved inferior TO their
eastern opponents IN the important matter
of nerve.
In short, the series left no doubt as to the
relative superiority of the Bostons in all de-
partments of the game. Beginning with
the desperate thinning struggle az Cleve-
land, in which the local men were prevented
from scoring by phenomenal work on the
part OF the Bostons, the latter beat the
western men by one run in each OF the two
following games, thus showing that they
oould beat their rivals on their own stamp
ing grounds.
The Clevelands kept UP their courage
until the end of the first game in Boston,
which they lost by 4 to 0, and then they
went to pieces, losing the next game by u
to and the final game by TO 8. The Sc
ries was to have been nine games, but the
Bostons, by Winning FIVE in succession, a
remarkable feat in worlds championship
contests, brought the proceedings to a close.
1t was also the second time in the history OF
n for no ruor.13iv
team failed to win a game. The games
were played under the supervision of Pres
ident Young, who attended each game with
his full staff of umpires, two of whom were
selected TO offioiate each day Just before the
game began.
The first games for the worlds champion
ship were played in 1884 between the Prov
idence and the Metropolitan teams. Three
games were played at the polo grounds in
New York city and Providence won all
three
In 1855 Chicago and St Louis were the
contestants, and ths battle was drawn
one, each side winning three games.
In 1885 Chicago and st. Louis again bat
tied for the pennant and st. Louis came
out on top with four victories out Of seven
games.
In 1887 Detroit and ST. Louis were the
contestants, and the Wolverines won ten
out Of fifteen games.
In 1888 New York and st. Louis played a
series Of ten games, New York capturing
six and the pennant.
In 1889 New York and Brooklyn were the
contestants. aud the New Yorks won six
out OF nine games.
There was no worlds series In 1890 owing
to the brotherhood revolt, although the
Brooklyns, who won the league pennant,
started a series with the Louisvilles, the
American Association champions. II ended
in draw.
In 1891 Boston had two champion teams,
one representing the league and the other
the association, but owing to the ill-fssing
between the two bodies no series for the
worlds pennant was played.
Hugh Duffy has attained distinction
never secured before by a ball tosser. He
was member Of the cnampisn
Boston Players League club OF
1890, of the champion Boston Assoc
citation club OF 1891, of the Boston half-ssa-
son champions OF 1892, and Is now also O
member of the worlds champion aggrega-
ton. That makes him a mem Der of q cham.
pion club in three different organizations in
three successive years, and he played a con-
spicuous part in winning the flag every
time. Il was in 1891 that a player named
Stovey refused to play with the Boston Reds
and young man of the name of Duffy was
signed to take his place. mo, no,n was the
cry, 'he will never do. he can never fill
Stoyey's shoes" It did not take long to find
out that Stovey WAS not in his GLASS.
Strangely enough these two players were in
the same organization st the beginning of
the season of 1892.

Boston has monopolized psnnant winning
