Giving the history of these nego

member the time when the Sitkas

hag been bad blood between them foi
years. Thg last futile attempt to
make peace took place in the early

Wrangell to make peace. A wai
cry greeted their arrival and near

in 1917 Chief Shaks of the
Wrangells opened peace negotia

delegates to Wrangell, where, he pn
posed, the leaders of the two clans

after a week of "pow-wows" it as

WORLD'S CHAMPIONS
SELDOM COME BACK
But Three Sets of Teams Have
Accomplished This Feat.
Cubs, Tigers and Giants Are Only
Clubs That Have Won Three
Straight Pennants—St. Louis
Browns Made Record.
If the Giants and White Sox meet
In the world's series this fall they will
be the fourth pair of teams to meet
'wice In succession for the title.
Baseball history dating back to 1884
«1 j\vu that but three sets of teams
hr ve accomplished this feat before,
(to J the Cubs and Tigers are the only
ams In modern baseball history who
'.ave monopolized the big series for
two straight years.
The famous Cubs of 1906 to 1908
won three straight pennants for Chi
cago in the National league, and their
first world's series In modern compe
tition between the National and Arner
' lean leagues resulted In defeat at the
I hands of the White Sox. The next
! two years, 1907 and 190.. the Cubs
battled Detroit In the fall 'lassie, and
' on both occasions they annexed the
I bunting.
rtuuuici micicouug icaiuic is Lite
fact that the Cubs, Tigers and Giants
are the only clubs that have won three
straight pennants in either big league
since the American league was formed.
In title series for the world's cham
pionship prior to the formation of the
American league the Chicago Nation
I als and the fumous old St. Louis
Browns of the American association
met two successive years for the cham
pionship—in 1885 and 1888. In 1895
and 1890 Cleveland and Baltimore met
in what was known as the Temple
Cup series, played between the first
and second place clubs in the Nation*
ieague.
So the White Sox and Giants, picked
by a majority of the critics to repeat
in their respective leagues this year,
have a chance to break into a rather
exclusive class of world's series teams.
While mentioning past performances
of ball clubs It appears that the old
St. JiOUis Browns of Chris von Der
! Ahe established a record that will
| probably stand for many years tc
j come. The Browns won four straight
penixnts in the old American associa
tion.
