Ihe breaking UP or championship
ball club is always saddening. but
the building up OF its successor is
just as hearteninE. THE King Is
dead. Long live the King!" is just
as true in baseball as in politics.
And, as kings have followed kings,
50 have pennant-winneTs been
smashed only to have others take
their places.
National League pennants Of 1904
and 1908. Then they began to
crack, finishing second in 1906 and
fourth in 1907. Not till 1911 did
McGraw succeed in hitting another
winning stride, which he maintained
for three successive campaigns.
Only Three Were Left
or the New York Giants OF 1911
just three were with the champ ons
OF 1908, Christy Mathewson. Leon
Ames and George WiItse. Gone were
all the catchers. all the inhelders and
all the outfelders.
Then consider the wonderful
Chance machine, the Chicago Cubs,
as another example Of this natural
breaking OF a championship ball
club. The Cubs raced away TO a
National League title in 1905 repeat
ing in 'O7 and 'Os. They lost the
worlds title to the White Sox in
1906 but came back and defeated the
Detroit Tigers in 'O7 and 'OS.
The Cubs stumbled in 1909. Pitts
burgh winning the title, but came
back with practically the same ball
club and won the National League
flag IN 1910. That was the worlds
series seeing Jack Coombs win three
out Of FIVE games for the Mackmen
from the Cubs. defeating Mordecai
Brown twice and Reulbach once.
Then Came the Break.
Frank Chance had a wonderful
ball club in 1910. but It was a ball
club Of veterans. The break came,
the team slipping steadily back year
after year. New players supplanted
the old and when Fred Mitchell
brought the Cubs in first in 1913 not
single 1910 Cub star was on the
ball club.
It has been the same story in the
American League. Jimmy Collins
wonderful Boston club won the PEN
nants in 1908 and 1904 Then it came
in fourth in 1905 and last. absolutely
last. in 1906. 1t was not till 1912
that the Red Sox won another
championship, but all the old gang
had passed from the limelight.
From 1907 for three straight years
Hughey Jennings piloted his Detroit
Tigers to championships In the Ameri-
can League. Out OF that last cham
pionship team Ty Cobb. DOME Bush,
and Oscar Stanage are the only
players now with the club. Most Of
the 1909 outfit were dropped years
ago.
There IS no telling how much longer
Connie MaCk's wallOping club Of 1914
might have gone on, despite the unex-
pected setback by the Braves in the
big series. Connie deliberately broke
up his club.
Gleason Faces Il Now.
Kid Gleason faces this situation
now. He must either begin at once
10 replace aged and cracking veterans
like Gandil and John Collins or en-
dure the bitterness OF finishing lower
and lower in the annual pennant
races. Too many defeats mean dis
charges for managers. too, as Gleason
well knows.
The psychological side Of this certain
breakup Is worth considering. The
White Soz have gone along to -Amsri-
