a n. L. Record
A PALPITANT fan desires to know If four
~ different clubs ever won pennants before
in four successive years.
Boston" he writes" won in 1914, Phila-
dephia in 1915, Brooklyn in 1916, and now
New York is there for 1917. Isn't this
record?'
1t is in tho National League, although
the record was In reality made last year, as
Now York won in 1913. Boston in 1914,
Philadelphia in 1915 and Brooklyn in 1916.
But while such a whirlpool has never
developed in the National League before,
dating back TO 1876, it has happened once
IN the American. Boston won In 1904 Phil
edelphia in 1905. Chicago in l906 and De-
troit in 1907.
The big average has been for the win
ner one year to repeat the next.
