Game of Famous Season

This see-sawing with the Giants re-
minds me Of the finish in 1898, says John

saw their finish on Sunday. October 4,
a day that will live longer in my memory
than any during my baseball career.
Clarke was leading by a fraction and
by winning that game he would have
cinched the pennant. BY losing, he was
eliminated. leaving Cubs and Giants tied
for first place. necessitating the play-on.
Before the game. Fred Clarke had
bought two railroad tickets; one would
take him to Pittsburgh for worlds series

game and a pennant and an hour later,
all alone, crushed. and disappointed, he
was looking out OF a car window on a
west-bound train.
Contrasting the JOY of the Cubs with
the gloom of the Buccaneers in the ad-
joining clubhouse that evening. One Of
the gamest and most wonderful finishes
ever made by ball club had gone up in
smoke for them in two hours that after
noon. Long after we had dressed, some OF
the Pirates sat on benches in dazed and
heart-broken manner. The victors could
not help but feel sorry for the van
quished. The Cubs went TO New York
and won the play-on. Yes, indeed, Sun

Windy City Club Has Captured Title
in National League Ten Times
Since 1876.

The closing Of the pennant race In the
National League has caused a deIving
into the ancient records of the organIza-
tion. with the result that several, inter-
esting sidelights have developed Boston,
hy winning the 1914 flag, can draw within
one point of the league record OF ten
pennants held by Chicago, while New
York can secure tie with Boston, since
but one pennant separates the record Of
the two cities. These three cities lead
by comfortable margin all the other
cities which from time to time have been
represented in the National League.
The order in point Of pennants won is
as follows:
Chicago-ls7s, lssO-l-2. 1856. 1sos-7-s, 1910.
