1915 FINAL STANDINGS
The Continental League was quite stratified in 1915, with 4 teams from Ohio and Pennsylvania (Cincy, Cleveland, Pittsburgh & Philly) duking it out all season long for the top spot. Ultimately, though, the Scarlets made it to their 5th World Series in a row and their 7th in 9 year. The second tier was populated by the two teams from the Big Apple, 15-20 behind the top group. At the bottom were the Colts of Chicago and the recently hapless Boston Beaneaters. The Scarlets are quite accustomed to having the top pitching staff in the majors, but as they head into the postseason, two of their starters,
George Merritt and
Beany Jacobsen, will not see action due to injury. This could be their downfall.

Two years removed from their 1913 crown, the Louisville Colonels have returned to the postseason after faltering last year, but this team is quite a bit different from the squad that surprised the Cincy juggernauts last time. Their offense is quite a bit weaker, with their top fulltime batter being
Ray Demmitt, who had a .275 batting average. However, their rookie
Ken Williams did have an impressive .339 mark in the half season he played. They have two aces in
Bullet Joe Rogan and
Smokey Joe Wood who will certainly help them compete if the offense can hang in there, and don't forget about the best closer in the game,
J.C. Bernard with his 40 saves. If he makes it into the game, consider the door slammed in your face.
