The Philadelphians won the American league banner, in 1002, but there was no world's series that year. Five years ago the Xew York Nationals were too strong for them.

According to ihe general verdict Ihe newly won prestige, of the Phila:lel-prias Phila:lel-prias and their wealth entitles them to top places In athletic blue books I and for the same reasons, with others added, it is decided that while Connie 1 Mack Is a good work a day appellation and fits nicely Into the headlines, that as manager of the greatest ball team on earth, lie should henceforth be ad-! ad-! dressed as Mr Cornelius McGllllcud j ry. with never a syllable slurred When I this was put to Mr McGiUcuddy. how- j ever, he blushed modestly and said it I did not matter what the manager of ! a team like his was called, j "They arc a grand buuch of boy." j he said, beaming on his men. "and I'm , proud of them. They never quit. Iu i the first four games we used only j ten men which speaks well for the way tho boys work together and not uotil today jld 1 make any changes, i Pitching of Coombs, j , The performance of Coombs In I ' pitching and winning three of a five game series is probabl unique. He had but one day's rest between the i ; second and third ?amcs, but three i1 days intervened between pie third con test and the last, lie had better control con-trol today than in the previous contests, con-tests, and foiled the opposing batters when hits meant runs.
