In view of the keen intcrsectlonal interest which will sunound the coming world's series ne-tween ne-tween the New York Nationals and the Chk-aKO Americans, the records of Ibe inteilcague conlests of the past assume unusual prominence. A 1 though wo-ealleu world's series were played as- f;ir back as .188-1, it was not until lr0f that the national commission took chu rj;e of find proii-.i.lgated rules for the annual autumn climax of the baseball season. Since that year the winning clubs in the .American and National leagues have met each October to decide. In a series of the best four games opf. of seven, which team should he entitled to tho championship honors of the professional baseball world for the ensuing tweU e months. Of the past twelve series, which are now part of diamond history, the American league standard-bearing clubs have won seven and their National Na-tional league rivals five. During thewe series sixty-six games have been played, giving aji average of five and a half games per series, including includ-ing ti': qontesis. of which there have been two. In the games won. the American Amer-ican league leads with thirty-three to the Nationals' thirty-two, while of tlie -14:". runs scored the National league clubs have accounted for 23 to the Americans' 222. To Philadelphia falls the honor of being represented in more series by pen-nanf-winning clubs than any other city on either major league circuit. Out or the past tvi elve lnterleague contests. Philadelphia Phila-delphia has participated six times, with Chicago next with five clubs, including the series of 1906, when the two Chicago Chi-cago teams fought out the question of. supremacy between themselves, each having hav-ing won the pennant. Boston and New York are tied with four each, while Detroit De-troit comes next with three, and Pittsburg Pitts-burg and Brooklyn complete the list with one apiece. The shortest series of the twelve wts that of 1914, when the Boston Nationa's defeated the Philadelphia Americans in four straight games. The Chicago Nationals Na-tionals of 1 907 also won lour straight from the Detroit Americans, but this run was preceded by a tie game with tiie score standing 3 to 3 when darkners halted the play. The longest series was that ot 1912, in which eight games were piayed, with the Boston Americans winning win-ning four and the New York Nationals three, with one tie game thrown in for good measure.
