Whales Headed Back to Series
CHICAGO, IL. September 17, 1914 - The Chicago Whales have won the Federal League pennant and are headed back to the Presidents Cup Series!
The club has a record of 90-56, and with eight games left to play they have a good chance of beating their 94 wins of last season.
Charles Weeghman's team has had a winning record every month and have always been in the top half of the standings, but it was just a month ago that they entered a month in first place. Pittsburgh, who dominated the first half of the season, have gone 24-41 after the All-Star contest and have fallen all the way to 6th place. Kansas City was also ahead of the Whales at one point, but are 29-34 in the second half, falling to 5th.
The Whales, after finishing the first half 47-35, have done even better after mid-summer, going 43-21 thus far. Now eight games above Newark, they have clinched the Federal League pennant and will have a shot to repeat in the series.
