THE CHRONICLE - VOLUME 10 ISSUE 2
SEPTEMBER 25, 1910: After last year's valiant effort in attaining their third championship in a row, many people thought that it was a final hurrah for this Philadelphia team, but it appears that they still have some tricks up their sleeves, squeaking past the Cleveland Bronchos in the last week of the season. say what you will about the Athletics, you can't deny that they have heart to spare. Their third World Series vs. their nemeses from New York should prove to be quite special.

Last year's champions from St. Louis fell victim to a sophomore slump, allowing the Giants to roar back and reclaim the pennant, while they plummeted to 5th in the NL Standings. Ty Cobb has become the top batsman in the NL, and Christy Mathewson returned to form with the help of the erratic Jim St. Vrain, who found his groove just in time.
