Baseball Championships.

With Detroit winning first place ir
the American League and Chicago
first place in the National League. the
same positions. by the way, which
out of order to remark that the West
is very big factor in the baseball
world Not only did both champion
ships go to western teams. but in the
American league the first four clubs
are all of the West. In both of the big
leagues Chicago has more pennants tC
it's credit than any other team. This
is the 33d year of the National League
and Chicago has won the pennant
nine times. Boston eight. New York
four. Baltimore. Pittsburg. and Brook
Ign three times each. Providence twice
and Detroit once. This is the ninth
year of the American League and in
this organization Chicago has been The
winner three seasons and Detroit. Bos-
ton and Philadelphia twice each.
Previous to 1901 there was a long
stretch OF years during which the
eastern clubs had the pennants all to
themselves, Boston. Baltimore. Brook
Ign and New York dividing the first
honors among themselves for II years
in succession. But since this century
came in Pittsburg and Chicago have
revived the old time glory of .he
West. although New York won the
pennant in 1904 and 1905
Never in all the third of century
of big league history has there been a
more exciting fight for the pennant
than that of this year or one where
the result was in such doubt up to the
very last game played The victory of
Detroit in the American League is
clear cut in every respect. although
their margin was exceedingly small.
In the National League many will
always feel that the first honorS for
n
club. On a technicality, however. a
game it had really won was declared a
tie and when it was played over again
Chicago proved winner to both the
game and the seasons championship
And now that the championships
are settled in both OF the big leagues.
the two winners are fighting it out for
the worlds championship and it re-
mains to be seen whether the Chicago
Cubs can repeat the trick of last year.
And then nothing will be left for the
millions of loyal fans but to fight the
seasons battles over again and to look
forward to the season of 1909. In the
meantime the football hero will be in
the center OF the stage and The
country will give more attention to the
political campaign.
