It is not known to the modern

Athletics was Al. H. “‘right.
The Athletics of those days were
not much more successful than the
Philadelphias of today. For some
reason the Philadelphia National
League team never has had the best
of luck even when it has had most
excellent players. It has won one
championship in its history and in
the year that it won the champion-
ship: the actual playing strength of
the team almost surely was not as
powertul'as that of some of the
Philadelphia teams of old.
