LEAGUE CLUB PRESIDENTS.
THE LESSONS OF THE LEAGUE CAMPAIGN OF 1888.
Among the noteworthy results of the League championship campaign of 1888
meriting special comment as affording lessons to be profited by in the
future, may be named, first, the success of the Eastern Club of New York,
in winning the pennant from the West; secondly, that of the Chicago Club
in attaining second place in the race in the face of drawbacks which,
under any other management, would have sufficed to have left the Club
among the tail-enders; and thirdly, the remarkable failure of the Boston
Club to attain even one of the three leading positions in the race, after
that club had incurred such a heavy expense in strengthening its team with
"star" players.
