The Cubs, start- irg in 1906, won four pennants in five years. The Mackmen, starting in | 1910, did the same. These are the only two clubs in the last twenty-five vears able to make such a showing. There isn't a club in the National league today that even compares with the old Cubs. There isn’t a team in the American league to | Le mentioned in the same class with the Mackmen. A ball club may win a pennant one season through breaks in the luck, for a stretch. But no ball club is winning three pennants in a row or four pennants in five years unless outclasses the fleld.
