Remarkable Finish.

Cleveland only was points behind,
with .5s4. The White Sox, who lost
the pennant on the last day of the
year to Detroit, dropped below Cleve-
land to third place. with $40. The
Browns had been put out a week be-
fore and finished with $40. However
on the day before the great Tiger
White Sox game st. Louis prevented
Cleveland from winning the pennant by
taking one game of a double header
That was finish for you!
Each club had one outstanding pitch
Ing star. Chicago's great twirling ace
was Ed Walsh. Cleveland's standby was
the late Adde Joss. Bill Donovan was
JenningSs big card. Rube waddell,
sold the previous winter by the Ath-
letics to st. Louis, was the mainstay OF
the Browns.
Walsh's work in 1908 never has been
duplicated by a modern pitcher. The
big fellow was credited with forty vic
tories and fifteen defeats. He took part
in sixty-siX of Chicago's 156 games
only fourteen less than one-half of his
teams games.
Nor does that tell the whole story
Almost every day Walsh was warmed
up to be ready II needed. Late in the
season. whenever a pitcher showed signs
Of slipping, Ed invariably was rushed to
the rescue. In ALL Walsh pitched 464
innings An illustration of the remark
able control he had over his spitball is
the fact that he gave out only ffty-six
bases on balls during that period.
Walsh practically fought Fielder
Jones's fall campaign for him, as he
took part in fourteen of the last seven
teen games played by the Chicago club

that wonderful aggregation of PLAYERS
that represented Cleveland IN the Ma
uonal League from 1889 until 1899, when
the majority of them were transferred
to St Louis
Mexican was noted for his batting
rather than his fielding. although he was
listed as brilliant fielder at that. He
was hitter OF the slugger type, his lons
suit being line drives that Just cleared
the infielders' heads and often were good
for two or three bases For years he
lated in the cleanup position.
He came to Cleveland along with
CHIEF thinner from Rochester in 1887

can Association team. In 1890. when
the Brotherhood formed a big league
and most OF the National Leae1ier,
Jumped to that circuit, Mexican and
thinner were loyal TO their euplovsrs
and stuck to the National.
When because OF increasing ve,rht

The National League Race.

If Cincinnati wins the National League
pennant, which now seems most prob
able, IL will create one OF the most novel
situations ever known IN baseball In
the last six years six different clubs will
have won the championship. First the
pennant started going the rounds in the
East. and now 1t is doing the same in
the West.
1t started with Boston's spectacular
victory in 1914. when the club moved
from last place in July to league PEN
ant and the worlds championship in
October. 1t went to Philadelphia in 1915
Brooklyn in 1916, New York. 1917. Chi
cago in 1918. and now apparently Is
headed for Cincinnati.
What an honor il will be for Pat
Moran to be the first manager to win a
National League pennant in both Phil
adelphia and Cincinnati. Truly 1t will
make him super-miracle man. Moran
is winning his pennant the first year IN
Cincinnati, just as he did in Philadel-
phia, where he landed first in the first
year that he took up the managerial
reins in that city.
In five of these six years a dark horse
has won. No one gave the Boston club
a tumble in 1914, and in midseason the
club seemed absolutely hopeless. There
didn't seem TO be team in sight with
a chance to prevent the Giants winning
their fourth straight championship-yet
the Braves came from nowhere and beat
them out
PhiIIies Surprise.
Then in 1915, after the Phillies had
lost Lobert, Magee, Knabe. Doolan.
Doom, Seaton, Brennan Walsh and
others there didn't seem TO be a chance
for Moran. and he was expected to finish
in the basement. Yet he beat out the
field for the pennant. After their great
success in 1914 the Braves had been
strong favorites in 1915.
Again the Braves and Phillies were
looked on as two top notch clubs in
1916. but Brooklyn nosed them ouv for
the flag. In 1917 New York was the
favorite and won. 1t was the only time
in the six years that the team generally
picked to win did win. The Giants
owed their prestige to their success late
in 1915. when they won twenty-six con-
secutive victories in the flag end OF the
season.
Then in 1918 no one could see any,
thing but the Giants. Whatever chance
the Cubs had seemed lost when Alex
ander was drafted in April. Yet they
beat out the Giants. This year the
Giants and Cubs were favorites. with
Cincinnati getting little consideration
Now the Reds are the prospective cham
pions.
