Others have decided that the signal reinforcement gained in acquisition of the brilliant Jack Barry was the trick that brough the bacon home. All these things helped, but the fact remains that it was through the all-round ability of Bos- ton's outfield, the brilliant defense, reat resourcefulness and the splendid offensive power of Speaker, and Hooper that Joe Lannin's finally fruit, and that t optimism Tigers and White Sox alike proved unavailing. sful hope: bore of the Present Trio Has Margin.

In but one sin- gle department did the heroes of this bygone age have it on the trio that now basks so prominently in the lime- light. The Collins outfield, when they hit that pill, stung it for keeps, and the aggregate of total bases proves this unmistakably. In 1904 Stanl, bach accumulated and their total a Freeman and Sel- just 484 base hits, bases figure up just 207 more sacks.
