PHILLIPS C|NCH THE NATIONAL
 TENANT
(By The Associated Press)

| (By The Associated Press)
 NEW YORK, October 4-For the first time in the history of the Worlds Series the National League will be represented by a Philadelphia club in the struggle for the premier honors of the professional diamond Not since the organization of the senior major league back in 1876 has a Quaker City team in this association won pen nant until the present season.
 During the forty years of the Ma tonal Leagues existence Philadelphia has fought for the flag no less than thirty-four times and it remained for
 Manager Pat Moran to lead the Phil lies of 1915 out of the wilderness of baseball dispair and into the light of a Worlds Series. The home of Will fam Penn was represented by club in the opening year of the organization but the following season dropped out and did not re-appear as a pennant contender until 1883.
 From that time until the present Philadelphia has annually figured in the league race but with rather in- different success. The position of runner-up to the winner was achieved in 1887, 1901 and 1913 while the depth was reached in 1897 when the Phillies finished in tenth place out of field of twelve clubs. The average of the Philadelphia teams for the thirty four years in 1884 which would rank them as leaders of the second division.
 Other cities have tried from time to time to capture a seinor league flag without success for twenty-two have had their names borne by teams since the formation of the league In 1876. None has been more persistent than Philadelphia, however. and the fans of Quakerburg are entitled to wide latitude for celebrating. Of the twenty-two National pennant hunting cities but eight have ever "c"omplish ed the feat of capturing a flag, Chi cago leads with 'en; Boston is second r'th nine: New Yorl; third with seven: -,' t@hr~" fourth with fonr while Balti- more and Erooklyn are tied with three each; Providence Is credited with two and Detroit one. Other cities that have tried and failed include: Gin cinnati, St. Louis, Buffalo. Cleveland, Hartford. Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Milwaukee, Syracuse Troy, Washington and Worchester,
 Remnants and Worlds Series are not new to Philadelphia however for Con- nie Mack won six American League flags and three Worlds Championships with his Athletics but it was not until Moran took charge of he National I league club that the senior association II pennat chasers forged to the front and record of thirty-four years standing by bringing to the Quaker City a Ma tional eague banner to hang along side of the numerous buntings that Mack and his Athletics have garnered from the American League and the Worlds Series.
