Enthusiasm is as effective i'm war as it is in
sports But the most effective efficient
machine baseball has known for more than
decade was the cold, chilly, unenthusiastic
brigade which Connie Mack sent to battle
between 1910 and 1914. There was no
glamour no gaudy trappings. no hurrah to
their program. But within five vears
they won four pennants and three world
series. Which is fairly close to the ulti-
mate answer.
The Record Chance
No ball club yet has ever won three
world series in succession. The old Cubs
won IN 1917 and 1908. But they were
tagged by the White Sox in 1906 and ousted
by the Pirates i'm 1909.
The Mackmen bagged the Premier Plum
in 1910 and 1911. But they were iostJed
aside by the Red Sox In 1912, only to re-
peat year later. The Red Sox now arc
the only people in the game with a chance to
establish a three-year triumph in the Oc-
tober finale wv W.
They beat the Phiiies in 1915 and rho
