that "seven time one are seven,' must
have had the Boston Red Sox in mind
stringing together seven victories in a
row was one OF the best things the new
..titleholders of the baseball universe did
last season. On no less than six oeca-
sions during the campaign did the Car
rigan combination, in its progress along
Pennantville pike, win seven games IN
sequence. Once the powerful and high
nrieed Boston machine landed eight con-
tests in succession, but there was tie

games. the tie included However, in
the next winning streak of the Car

only six runs in seven contests, four
