There seems to be an impression abroad that the possession of the championship emblem depends upon the record of games lost as well as won. This is not so. It is only the games won which will decide the question. For instance, should the Philadelphia club, by the 1st of November, close the season with a record of 50 games won and with but 10 lost, and should the Baltimore club close their season with 51 games won and 20 lost, the Baltimore club will win the pennant, as the rules expressly state that “the club winning the greatest number of games shall be declared the champions” for the season.
