 IS9o and 1893 The Chicagos are m equal winner with the BoStons, having claimed the pennant in lS76-thc first year of the League-1SSn, 1881, lSS9 lSS5 and lSSG It has been seven years since Uncle Adranap- oils has tasted the sweets of final victory, though on several occasions the cup was held to his lips, but dashed to earth just as he inhaled the intoxicating aroma. Seven years was the period allotted 10 JaCoh to serve for Rachael. Anson knows therefore how hard it was for Jacob to wait all that time for his bride But let Us hope that "Anse" will not have to serve yet another seven years for his reward, as Jacob did.
 l saw Captain Anson last week. just aft CT his reorganiZcd Col, had won three sue cessivc games, and he told me with all the sincerity of n Worlds fair fakir that his team, as now organized, was entirely sItis- factory to him, and ~ at with it he ght next year to win the l.,aGuc championship. Of course he expects Ryan to he well again in 1894, and that will make his outtivld consist of Ryan, Lynch and Wilmot; his inteld, Decker, Irwin, Dahlcn and Campo; his pitchers, Clau>rn, MCGill. Abbey and Hutchinson, and his catchers I.angr, Kit tridgc and Schrivcr. The team. as thus constituted and as it iS now playing ball, should surely make bN for place high up in the lists My Impression k that
 
 spite of all the old mans blufT he has played his last season of regular ball.
 But to return to my first subject. Outuf the Is championships of the National league Boston and Chicago have claimed l2 in equal division. The other six have been won by the New York, Providence. Detroit and Brooklyn teams New York made successive wins" in lSSS and lSS.l The Brooklyus took the flag in lS.lN De troit in lSs' and Providence in 1872 and INS4
 The present Boston team has practically been playing it's second season with almost unbrokrn ranks. Quinn k the missing member of last years team. Otherwise the composition of this seasons champion team is what il was last year, with Merritt and Gastricht added 10 the battery depart ment. 4 brief sketch of the members of the team will not be uuintvrcSting in this connection.
 Nichols has been the clubs s;ar pitcher He won the nickname of Kid" while in the Western league, where his youth, cou- pied with his great success, earned for him that title. When Selec came 10 Boston to manage the team, he brought Nichols along, and the latter has been the Bu>tOu's winning pitcher ever since. He is strictly temperate, takes good care of his physical powers and always has his clubs interest deeply at heart.
 Stivetts also went tu Boston from the west. He is one of Coniskcys pupils and made his first great reputation as mem Der of the St. Louis Browns. He Is a young man of fine physique and shared with Ru- sic the honor until this scason of being one of the swittcst pitchers in the country. He has not been so effective this season as last and was one of the four players who re gently appeared on the ground at Cincin- nati in q state of iutoNitation. There is no doubt that Stivctts indulgence in liquor has l,>srned his effectiveness this season.
 S;aiCl :, tho third of BuStons last scl- sons trIo of pitchvrS, has been utmost a complete failure this Year. His work in 1892 was excellent, and when the Bo>tunS secured his release from the pitt>hur:s he had made q reputation second to no other pitcher in the League. StalCy, too, las lvt
