Nine of these pennant triumphs have been gained under the indomitable leader- ship of John Joseph McGraw, “Little Napoleon' of the diamond, who leads off other managers in this respect. His nearest rival is Connie Mack, tall tutor of the Philadelphia Athletics, who has six to his credit. McGraw holds the additional dis- tinction of having twice in his career | won three pennants in a row, a feat no other manager has ever performed, { The Giant cheftain piloted his clup | to victories in 1911, 1912 and 1913. The Chicago Nationals twice captur- ed three flags in a row, but two man- agers shared in the honors, the late “Pop"” Anson leading the club to the top in 1880, 18817 1882, whiie Frank Chance piloted the Cubs to champion- ships in 1906, 1907 and 1908, Besides hls triumphs of the past three seasons, McGraw also accounted for pennants in 1904, 1905 and 1917. | The other New York pennants were {won in 1888 and 1889, | Chicago ... | st.
