THE CHRONICLE - VOLUME 9, ISSUE 2

SEPTEMBER 25, 1909: It looks like Philly will be going for the trifecta. Predictions of their collapse this season fell far short of reality. They continue to dominate the AL, and may very well do so for the next few years. The double play combo of Napoleon Lajoie and Joe Tinker are one of the best, leading with words as well as actions. Lajoie is getting older at 35, but he has shown no signs of flagging. They are unlikely to repeat, though, with major injuries to Eddie Plank and Charlie Chech. Both will miss the entire World Series.

The St. Louis Cardinals are led by a player whom many say is the heir apparent to the Athletics' Lajoie ........Will Miller II. Unfortunately for the Cards, he is hobbled with a Pulled ACL and will likely be unable to return until after the postseason. He's young, so this probably won't be his last World Series. Cards' fans are confident that the absence of their NL batting champ will not impede their march to the crown. Time will tell who will win this contest with so many key injuries.
