Fate, destiny or the dope has set the life of an average championship ball club at five years. The Cubs and Mackmen wers the cnly two machines able to survive five summers, for, while each was Leaten in this span, each came back the next year over the triumphant highway. But no other machines have lasted longer in victory than three seasons. Three vears were sufficient for the old Pirates, for the Tigers and for the Giants. Connie Mack merely beat time to it. John McGraw tried to piece out his championship club and rebuild gradu- ally, but he found the job beyand him. The only way seems to be a new start. Today, of those who led the Giants home in front through 1913, only Fletcher, Herzog, Burns and Tesreau are left.
