 The Fatal Inning.
 The third was more eventful. Tinker s beautiful three-bagger to deep center started the run-getting for CnlcaBo. King then singled to left and 11nker came home, amid greet cheering. Brown grounded out to Penney, advancing King to second. Sheckard flied to Seymour, who made a spectacular throw, holding Kling on second. Then Evers went to first on balls, Schulte then doubled to left scoring Kllng, and Chances two- bagger to right scored Evers and Schulte. Steinfeldt struck out. These were Cnl- cagos four runs The westerners got no more but they were enough. New York made two hits in their half but failed to score.
 The contest then seemed to resolve ltseif into a question of which side could go out fastest for the next three innings. Now the '1ucky seventh" but it was not lucky for New York. The Chicago batters were quickly dispatched in their half. The fans took up their famous war cry, Giants luck seventh and New York went to bat. Devlin singled and Mccormick hit safely to right for base Then Bridwell got base on balls and all the sacks were taken.

 And there was no appeal. The pennant of 1908 was securely in Chicago's grip and it was Chicago, not New York. that would seek the worlds championship with De- troit. champoins of the other league.
 Manager McGraw of the New Yorks said after the game:
