the presence of recOrd-breaking
crowd. which swamped the Polo
Grounds and left many thousands out
side, today's baseball game was
played in deadly earnest straight
baseball with no frills-to settle us
tCnsely dramatic n situation as the
most ardent lover of the sport could
imagine. Chicago won and New
York lost the National League Cham
pionship.
The game was played in the cheer
full sunshine of an ideal baseball day
before vast ConcOurse of people. who
carried with them the pent-up en-
thusiasm. hopes, and fears accumu-
lated day by day in the closing weeks
of Il season.
The large black headlines in the
newspapers-Now York 9. Chicago
are like mourning captions over
the story of some great persOnage's
death. And yet probably Manager
McGraw's words after the game. in
the unwonted quiet of the training
quarters. where the Giants were hav-
ing their last showers and rubdowns,
cpitomizes the feelings of the vast
army of New Y0rk's followers IL do
not feel badly about the game: we
merely lost something We had won
before"
Chicago Work Perfect
Spectators who know the game,
however bitterly they may feel over
the tie decision which made tOLay's
same compulsory, seem TO conccde
tonight that the work of the Chicago
team was practically perfect. The
Giants We're Uutplaycd. Chicago,
fresh from rest ana well-judged prao-
tice, and Goa ling, was superb in
form. Brilliant. errorless fielding,
snappy base running and opportune
hitting in the third inning. which
made effective IN scores double by
Chance, won iro game. New York
could not hit at critical times.
Mathewson-favorite of the favor
ites-could noe keep his invincible
arm power. and the effect of a mo-
ments lapse IN the third inning
could not be overcome. McGraw's
substitution of Wiltse in the box
the last two iLnings may or may not
have been wise. The home team
needed long hit; needed the tre-
mendous rallyiug power which Math-
ewson has more than once inspired
in them at the very finish and
wrung victory from seeming defeat.
The two great innings of the
game We're the third and the seventh.
In the former Chicago made all its
runs. In the latter, opening up with
enthusiasm, hopes We're renewed, but
died after one run, which kept COM
pany with that made in the first inn-
ing on the mammoth bulletin board
far out afield.
