Eight Triumphs for Boston

Eight Triumphs for Boston
Il would hardly have been the appeal of
victory that turned the big crowd into the
rIppng cold. For with this contest con-
cnded Boston fans had witnessed eight
uocessive world series triumphs, the first
6ting from the Snodgrass mum of 1912.
MS game, too. meant that five worlds
aries conquests had come to Boston since
i,jz, without a single losing war to mar
he record OF the town. Considerable
achievement, whether you are a fan or not.
u proves that a victorious tradition is
worth Its share in the open market and that
an Impetus along, the right roadbed carries
fast and far.
In these FIVE world series Boston clubs
have won twenty-one games and lost but
eight which is all the evidence one needs to
name the zenith city in the broad Kingdom
Of Swat
3d. instead Of pooh-poohing Brooklyn.
Why not hail Boston the Metropolis of the
Batting Eye and the Pitching Arm. the
unconquered citadel of the game? Or. in
ne words OF bard who is not immortal: /:
Where Babylon lies deep in dust.
Where Rome has known the shadowed
night;
Where Athens, in her ancient rust
haa long since faded from the fight;
when Balloon, from her lifty crest,
unfuris her standard to the air,
ne picks out Boston for the test
And lets her banner fiutter there.
Where Carthage Is a faded dream
AND Nineveh has known her sin;
"nere New York has a losing team
ana Philadelphia cannot win;
"nere one by one they rise and fall,
Aaons the still unconquered beat,
~ mis be written on the WALL
1he Citadel without defeat"
