THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE FULL RECORD OF THE SERIES.
It has now become an established rule of the National League and the
American Association, to close each season with a supplementary
championship series of games between the teams of the two leading clubs
winning the respective championships of the two organizations each year,
to decide as to which of the two champion clubs is entitled to the honor
of being the champion club of the United States, and consequently the
world's champions in base ball. This supplementary series of games has
grown in importance each year since the inaugural trial games of 1884,
when a short series of games of this character took place on the Polo
Grounds in October, 1884, between the League championship team of the
Providence Club and the American championship team of the Metropolitan
Club. It was a short series of best two games of the three played, the
result being an easy victory for the League team, as the appended record
shows:
THE SERIES OF 1884.
Oct. 23, Providence vs. Metropolitan, at the Polo Grounds 6--0
Oct. 24, Providence vs. Metropolitan, at the Polo Grounds 3--1
