The best team won. They won be-
cause they played the better ball. Too
much praise cannot be- given To Prcsi-

the team which by unprecedented pluck
climbed In milseason from seventh

vietery Was Earned.
That the victory was fairly earned
one IL shown not only by the fact that
the Americans won four out OF six
games. incidentally making It unncces-
sary To- play the seventh. but by che
hits and runs. The Americans all
told made twenty-five runs. compared
with eighteen by the Nationals. They
male thirty-nlne base hits as against
thirty-Seycn for the Nationals. The
Nationals made but five errors. com
pared with fourteen by the Americans.
The Americans also made the greatest
number OF extra base hits. but the
ground rules made nearly all OF them
good for only two bases.
Among the expert critics OF baseball
IL In generally conceded that To the
American pitchers most OF the credit
Is due. This des~ite the fact that the
American pitchers have but twenty
six strikeouts To their credit. AGAINST
thirty-five for the Nationals The
Americans gave nineteen bases on balls
as against eighteen by the Nationals.
Notwithstanding the American pitchers
were effective when hits meant runs.
but particularly against such men as
Chance. Schultz. Stcinfcldt and Killing.
