in a phrase told at the end OF the
most decisive ball game ever played
in the country in many years; play
ed at the Polo grounds in this city
yesterday to decide the National
League championship for the season
OF 1908. In the presence of rec
ord breaking crowd which swamped
the grounds and left many thousand
outside long before the game began
the game was played in deadly ear
nest to settle as tensely a dramatic
q situation as the most ardent low
er OF sport could imagine.
The game was played in the cheer
full sunshine OF an ideal baseball
day before a vast audience OF people
who carried with them to the polo
grounds the pent-up enthusiasm
and hopes and fears accumulated
day by day in the closing week of
the seasons fight for National
League pennant which had been alb
solutely unprecedented for constant
ly intensifying interest and uncer-
tainty.

New York, Oct. 9.-(By Sam
Crane THE Chicago Cubs are the
champions of the National League
as history will record them, but the
Giants won the pennant on wednes-
day by defeating Boston in the last
game of the season. That gdme

been credited TO the Giants and
then they would have won the pen
