TWO CLUBS WERE
4-TIME WINNERS
Boston and ST. Louis Only
Clubs to Win PennantS
Four Times

Boston and st. Louis are the only cites
in the National or American League that
have had a fourtime winner in one of the
major organizations
Boston won the National championship
in 1872, 1873. 1874 and 1876 and in the old
American Association Charley Com skey 8
St. Louis team won first place in 1885, 1856,
1887. and 1883.
The Baltimore team OF 1897 after win
ming in 1894, 1895 and 1896. were so cock
sure that they would be four-time winners
that they had arranged trip to Califor-
mia as a triumphal tour. Boston settled
that 1897 championship right in Baltimore.
Chicago won the National League cham-
pionship in 1850. 1881. and 1852; Boston won
it in 1891. 1892. 1893; Baltimore wen in
1896 1896 and 1897, and Pittsburg won it
in 1901, 1902. 1908.
All other major league champion teams
have been only two-year winners. 1t is
now up to New York to get into the three
time class-but the outlook at present for
that is dubious.

IT WILL NEVER BE
KING IN ENGLAND
Americans Should Not Ex'
peCt Baseball to DethrOne
Cricket

Negotiations have been opened with
American baseball authorities to have
a series Of games played throughout Eng
land. Scotland and ireland next fall be-
tween the champions Of the American and
National Leagues This would indicate
that our game has at last secured a foot
hold in old England; but nobody need io-k
for any rapid or deep growth in the im-
mediate future.
Many strenuous efforts have been made
and much time and money has been ex-
pended in the attempt to establish base
BAH among recognized and practced
sports in England, but the results have
invariably been the samoa temporary
show of interest, a short-lived hypocriti-
cal hurrah, and then desuetude. If the
present effort be more successful we shall
be greatly pleased and even more sur
prised, in view of the rock-ribbed insular
prejudice of the British against anything
and everything not Of English origin or
invention
But why should we waste thought or
care on the matter of foreign apprecia-
tion of what we regard as the best game
yet devised by man." If our English
friends haven't the sense TO know a good
thing when they see it, It is their loss;
but they hardly deserve to be criticized
on that account in view of the fact that
cricket is n national creation and institu-
tion with them, as baseball is with us,
with the added advantage of far greater
age.
1t is as presumptuous and foolish for
Americans to expect baseball ever to
dethrone, OF even seriously compete with
cricket in England as 1t would be for the
British to expect their game to oust base
ball from its throne in this country.
Cricket has been played here for a CEN
tury or two without ever commanding
any vogue whatever beyond a pitifully
small circle Of devotees; and so it win be
with baseball in England. National sem
tlment and human nature forbid any
other conclusion
