Giants Win the Clio ely Contested League
Fight-Other Base Ball News.
CHICAGO, Oct AT the close OF the
League base hall playing Friday night last
tie situation was such that It was about an
even chance whether New York or Boston
should by the League pennant Saturdays
playing, however, settled the question, and
New York flies the pennant The struggle
was a close one. probably the closest in the
history OF the League, and it may be said
that the Giants won on their merits When
the League season cl osed last year, and Chi
cago had to give up the trophy, il was for
the resson that while Anson's club had
proved itself better than either of
the leaders, when pitted against them, it had
lost 50 many games by some sort of "hoo-
doop to the "tailenders' that its victories
over the aforesaid leading clubs had been
neutralizad- But his year the winning
club has had no such luck. 1t not only beat
the most expert OF its opponents, but the
-hoodoo' was absent when it PLAYED with the
weaker clubs
Another feature az this years playing is
the lead the New Y ork and Boston clubs hal
over the others While the two leaders
ended the season so close together that the
last days playing was necessary to decide
the championship, Chicago, the third in the
race, was 40 points behind Boston. The
fight for third place was as exciting as that
for first, Chicago and Philadelphia closing
within Is points OF each other, and the race
requiring the last two or three days playing
to decide. Pittsburg finished fifth, aud
Cleveland, whose playing was so phenom-
email in the early part of the season-they
were eight b at one time in June-bringine
up in the eighth place.
