But ONE TEAM
REPEATS WIN
OF LAST YEAR

The windup of the Pacific Coast
| League season on October "a marked
| the final close of the minor league sea-
son and the interesting information IS
disclosed that but one team which won
a pennant in 1914 was abel to repeat u
1915. That was Ottawa in the Ca
madam League. An exception that
might be noted is in the Texas League,
in which Waco captured the flag THIS
season. Last year on the last day Oh
the campaign Waco and Houston we're
| tied for first place and Houston staged
a double-header, limiting both games
to seven innings. Houston won both,
the second going only four and one
half innings, but on protest BIZ Wa
co Secretary Farrell of the NATIONAL
Association threw out the first game,
as 1t was a violation of one Of the
associations rules, which provides
that the first game of all douhlehead-
ers must be nine innings. That lett
the standing of the Houston ard Waco
team tied for the pennant, and It was
not played off. But in all Other cases,
from the two major leagues down
through the minor circuits, no team
that won in 1914 was a winnef In 1910,
Many Shifts.
Thus the Boston Braves had plenty
of company in their failure to repeat
their performance of last season.

pointment of the year. They were
succeeded as champions of the ma.
tional League by Philadelphia, while
the Boston Red Sox replaced the Attn.
ietics in the American League. Chi
cago won the pennant in the Federal
League, but the club that captured the
flag last year, indianapolis was not
in the circuit, several changes having
been made in the team when It was,
removed to Newark. Buffalo succeed
ed Providence as champions OF the
International League, and In the
American Association Minneapolis
took the honors that were won by
Milwaukee last year. In the Southern
Association New Orleant displaced
Birmingham while In the Western
League Des Moines captured the flag
and prevented Sioux City rom repeat
ing.

port team, pennant winners lin 1914,
managed to win the first half OF
