 By winning today's game to 3, against tho local club of the National League. the Americans earnef the right to float the worlds championship pennant as well as the pennant of the American League, to ride to the grounds next season in carriages and to have worlds Champions" lettered on the blankets worn by their horses. To- days game was the sixth of the series and the fourth victory for the Ameri- cans.
 When the last National batsman had gone out and the stunning fact that new champions had been freshly ere ated burned its impress upon thous. ands of excited minds. crowd suged around the box wherein sat Charles W. Murphy. president of the losing club He smiled gamely at the requests for . speech and said:
 The best team won. They won be- cause they played the better ball. Too much praise cannot be given to Pres ident Comiskey and Captain Jones and the team which. by unprecedented pluck, climbed in mid season from sev- enth place to the top of their own League, and then topped off that great accomplishment by winning the worlds s championship from the team that made a runaway race of the National League contest. I call for three cheers for Co., mskey and his great team.'
 Cheer after cheer followed thia speech, but they were lost to the hear ing of most of the crowd which was husily cheering other things-the ln- dividual players, the players collectveiy and humping said players on the backs with such enthusiasm that every one of them had to fight their way out to the waiting carriages.
 And cheers for the losers were not lacking. They had lost the greatest distinction which baseball offers to its votarfes, but are still a great team

That the victory was fairly earned one Is shown not only by the facts that the Americans won four out or six games. incidentally making It un- necessary to play the seventh, but oy the hits and runs. The Americans all told made twenty-two runs. compared with eighteen by the Nationals. They made thirty-nine base hits as against thirty-seven for the Nationals. The Nationals made but five errors. com pared with fourteen by the Americans The latter also made the greater num- her of extra base hits. but the ground rules made nearly all of them good TOT only two bases.
 Among the expert critics of base ball. 1t is generally admitted that to the American pitchers most or tne credit is due. This despite the 1act that the American pitchers have but twenty-six strike-outs to their credit against thirty-five for the Nationals.
 The Americans gave nineteen bases on balls against eighteen by the Ma tionals. Notwithstanding this the American pitchers were effective when hits meant runs. particularly against such men as Chance. Schulte, Stein fe,dt and King These men, all con- sistent 300 hitters, were all but help less during most of the series. on the other hand the Americans. popu- Iarly called the 'hitless wonders" bat ted more strongly than their oppon- ents who, during the season. had done the heaviest batting in the National
