		In August 1914, as German armies swept across Belgium and northern France, the Braves abandonded old South End Grounds and moved into Fenway Park, and remained there as temporary tenants of the Red Sox until Braves Field was completed in August 1915.
		They played the 1914 World Series in Fenway Park and then repaid the favor by letting the Red Sox use brand-new Braves Field during the World Series in both 1915 AND 1916.

		No wonder Philadelphia had become the first team in Series history to be eliminated in four games (the 1907 Tigers also went winless, but Detroit managed to play a tie game against the Chicago Cubs, extending play to five games).
