boast of seventeen pennants in ma. jor league company. Boston's Nation al league team won the championship in 1872, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1877, 1878 1883, 1891, 1892. 1893, 1897 and 1898. Premier honors were taken by the Boston Brotherhood club in 1890, the Boston American Association club in 1891, and the Boston Red SoX in 1903, 1904 and 1912. The Red Sox, it will be remembered, also captured the worlds series from the Pirates and Giants respectively in 1909 and 1912.
 Boston, therefore, has record for pennant winning eXcelling any other city.
 The victorious Boston teams of 1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875 played in the National association, which be- came the National league in 1S76 Among the noted players who wore Boston uniforms in those days were A. c. Sparkling, Cal McVey, Ross Barnes, George Wright. Harry Wright, Andy Leonard, Jack Manning. Jim O'Rourke and Jim White. The first Boston team to win the National league pennant in 1877 was made up as follows:
 Tom Bond, pitcher; Lew Brown catcher: Jim White, John Morrill,, George Wright, Ezra Sutton and Andy Leonard, infielders; Jim O'Rourke, Tim Murnane and H. Schaefer, >si- fielders.
 The champion team of 1878 includ- ed Bond with the famous Charley Snyder behind the bat. The basemen were Morrill,, Burdock and Sutton with Wright at shortstop and Leonard, ORourke and Manning i'll the out field. !
 In 1883, the Bostons, under the man. agement of Morrill,, who played first base, won the flag after coming from nowhere in the last half of the cam paign. Morrill, had two great pitchers in Jim Whitney and Charley Buffinton with Mike Hines and Mertie Hackett behind the bat. Burdock at second, Sutto nat third, Sam Mise at short and the outfield guarded by Joe Hornung, Paul Bradford and c. Smith. who is now supreme court judge in Penn. sylvania.
 The late Frank G. Selee, one of the best managers that ever sat on the bench, handled the champion Bean- eaters in 1891, 1892, 1893, 1897 and 1898. Selee's first pennant winner was composed of Clarkson. Nichols and Staley, pitchers; Bennett and Ganzel, catchers; Tucker, Quinn and Nash on the bases; Long, shortstop: Lowe, Brodie, Stovey, Mike Kelley and Martin Sullivan in the outfield.
 Selee's men, with Stiveets added to the pitching staff and the placing of Hug gh Duffy and Tommy Mccarthy in the outfield to help out Lowe, pre- scented almost the same lineup ill 1892. Cliff Carroll supplanted Lowe in 1893. while Kelley was released and new catcher named Merritt was signed to aid Bennett and Ganzel. Lowe was assigned to second base in place of Quinn.
 In Nichols Day.
 The victorious Bostons in 1897 in- cluded Nichols, KlobedanZ, Lewis and Stivetts, pitchers; Bergen, Ganzel and Lake, catchers; Penney, Lowe and Collins on the bases; Long and Allen. shortstops; Duffy, Billy Hamilton and Chick Stahl, outfielders. Selee Haul lllC Sduic JCdlIl III 1oCO W1lll ClC exception of Ganzel, Lake and Allen. Vic Willis, a pitcher, and Yeager, a catcher, were added.
 That was Boston's last National league pennant winner, for several years later Selee left the club and signed to handle the Chicago Cubs. Oddly enough Stallings, like the la mented Selee, is bench manager, employing many of the latter's suc- cessful methods.
 Arthur Irwin was the manager of the Boston Brotherhood champions. in 1890. The roster included Radhourne, Gumbert. Daley, Kilroy and Maddon. pitchers; Mike Kelly, Murphy and .Swett, catchers; Brouthers, Quinn and Nash, basement; Irwin, shortstop; Stovey, outfielders.

 Jimmy Collins led the Boston Red Sox to victory in 1903 and 1904. His players in 1903 were Cy Young, Din cen. Winters and Gibson, pitchers Criger, Farrell and Jake Stahl, catch CTS; Lachance, Ferris and Collins basemen; Parent, shortstop; Dough erty, Chick Stahl and Treemen, out fielders. In 1904 Collins added Jesse Tannehill to his pitching staff ant supplanted Dougherty with Selbach Otherwise the team remained un changed.
 Three Stars Disappear.
 Three great major league careers are to be brought to a close this year they say. The mighty arm of Wal lace, the inimitable Wagner, and tn, splendid Lajoie are to be seen on tn, diamond no more-at least as far al the important organizations go. I O said the three have played uail
