The third annual championship race
of the independent Federal league, and
the second race Of that organization
as a major league, started on April
10, and was scheduled to run, under
154-game schedule, to October 3. Con-
trary to the hopes, expectations, and
predictions of its enemies the league
played out its season according to
schedule, without a circuit break and
with every club In shape to continue
along independent lines indefinitely.
No better ball was furnished by any
league anywhere. or at any time, and
the leagues affairs were ably con-

greatly in all ways by the experience
gained In the first year Of the leagues
expansion.
Newark Joins League.
The only change in the circuit was
the transfer Of the champion Indiana
polls team to Newark, N. j., before
the season opened.
The 1915 championship race was
by odds the closest and most In
teresting in the major league arena,
excelling by far the races of the older
major leagues. as their races were
well settled two weeks before the sea-
sons close, whereas the Federal
league pennant question was not de-
cided until the last day Of the season,
when Chicago Just nosed out both St
Louis and Pittsburg. Six OF the teams
at some time had look.in for the PEN
nant, only Baltimore and Buffalo being
left al. the post which was fatal to
the Terrapins. but somewhat overcome
by Buffalo In the second half Of the
race, when the Buffeds proved fac
tor to be always reckoned, though not
championship probability. On Sep
TENDER 20 Chicago defeated Pittsburg
and Kansas City defeated st. Louis;
on September 80. Pittsburg defeated
Chicago and st. Louis defeated Kan
sas City. thereby dislodging Chicago
from second place: on October ! all
games were prevented by rain, but
on October 2 Chicago twice defeated
Pittsburg, going into first place by four
percentage points, while Kansas City
defeated st. Louis, thereby pushing
the Terriers back into third place,
with Pittsburg second. This put the
final issue up to the last days play on
October 3, and Chicago rose to the
emergency by defeating Pittsburg in
tn second game of doubleheader
after Pittsburg had won the first game,
in IL innings, while ST Louis defeated
Kansas City. This gave Chicago the
championship. with St Louis second
and Pittsbufg third, I'VE percentage
points covering the trio-a wonderful
and almost unprecedented ending to
grand race.
Some More Team Records. r
In addition to the wonderful close
ness and uncertainty Of the race there
were many exceptional incidents to
hold public attention. Team and In.
diyiduaI feats were plentiful. though
no standing records were equaled or
broken. Team features were as fol-
lows: Triple Plays were made by st.
Louis against Baltimore; by Kansas
City against Buffalo; and by Chicago
against Buffalo. The Brooklyn team
made the seasons longest run of con-
secutive victories, 9; and the Balti-
more team sustained that many con-
secutive defeats. The longest game
of the season was is innings, Newark
defeating Chicago, 3-2. In addition

there were two 15-innings games. CHI

On the whole season there were

the matter of individual performances

thing being the posting Of three no

questions vaguely. Not the slightest
suspicion entered her head that she
