when the final returns were all in the
Boston teams average Of victories was
-705 and Baltimore's 693.
The 1897 destination Of the pennant
hinged on the result Of the final Sc
ries played in Baltimore between the
Orioles and the Bean Eaters. When
this set Of games started on Friday,
Sept a, the Birdlets were on the top
rung Of the championship ladder,
though their advantage in the per-
centage column was only one point.
The fourth National league combina-
ton to win three banners in a row
was Pittsburg. The Pirates, command
ed by Fred Clarke, topped the list in
1901, 1902 and 1903 The next year
they fell off badly, dropping to fourth
position Ahead Of them were the
Giants, the Cubs and the Reds. Pitts
burg's 1904 record was -569, that of
the pennant winning New York club
.693.
Last year the Cubs, with Frank
Chance directing them, had the oppor-
tunity to become four time winners
and might have done so had it not
been for Johnny King joining the
holdout brigade The Windy City
troupe ran poor second to the Pirates
and were A points behind the Cor
sairs when the season ended.
Until Jennings entered the American
league that organization never knew
what it was TO have a team that fin
ished first more than two years in sue
cession- Chicago won the banner In
1900 and 1901, and Boston turned the
trick in 1903 and 1904. Jennings shat
tered precedent last year by plotting
the Tigers to the top for the third
consecutive time, and now he is out to
win another flag.
1t is the general opinion that Hughey
will experience tremendous difficulty
In keeping the American league pen
nant in Detroit for another year. Fans
think the Tigers are destined to go
back. and go back badly, in 1910 and
that some club from the east, either
Philadelphia or Boston, viii be found
at the top at the end Of TIE campaign.
