Is the Boston Braves feat of win
ming the worlds series in four games
a baseball record? W. A. K.
| In 1884. the Providence Nationals
won three straight games from the
Metropolitans, of the American As
ISOLATION. All of the games were
| played at the Polo Grounds. In
1894, New York beat Baltimore in
the Temple Cup series four times in
a row. In 1895. Baltimore took four
/ straight from Cleveland in the Tenn
pie Cup match. No games were
played for the worlds title from 1897
until 1908, after the American
League had sprung into existence
and gained recognition. Hence the
Boston Braves remarkable showing
in taking four straight is spoken of
as setting new record In modern
| baseball.
