 10 right for a base, Then Bridweli got a base on balls and the sacks were full Here was where everybody held his breath At thls critical jucture. when suspense had made the silence almost absolute, McGraw sent Doyle in to bat for Mathewson, Great clamor broke forth, for 1t meant that Mathewson would pitch no more in this game, A long hit was needed. Everything had prepared the way for this particular Instant Mathewson had a way of rallying at the moment of greatest stress Doyle failed to Hll the blll He sent nice little pop foul of the grade of fancy work, Into tho clutches of Kling, and that ended Doyle, To be sure, Devlin scored on Tenney's fly to schultei but Herzog went out, Tinker to Chance, and the seventh was over, Hard luck for New York, even though she got her second run, and her last,
 The eighth was quickly over. Wiltse pitched for New York now in Math- ewsons place. Sheckard struck out, Evers knocked a double to left, Sciulto got to first on Tenneys fum- ble, which allowed Evers to make third Chance flied out to Mccormick who threw to Bresnahan at the plate, | catching Fvers there One two. three again for New York in this in- ming. Rrcsnahan out, Brown to Chance; Donlin on a fly to Sheckard, and Seymour Evers to Chance.
 1t was three up and three out on both sides In the ninth, For Chica- go, Steinfeldt struck out, Howard popped little fly to Devln and Tink- CT did the same to Penney That closed the business for ChIcago--un- less by some phenomenal change of luck New York should vet tie the score. IL was not to be, Devln went out Steinfeldt to Chance, T. Me l Cormck. by a fly to Chance Bridwell, Tinker to Chance.
 The Ritter End. II was all over and there was hard ! ly q shout as the immense crowd realized that the story was ended IlkUl lIlfIft '. A.lllNtNb AhulH AN'N VI R two. And there was no appeal, The pennant of 1908 was securely in Chcagos grip, and it was Chicago, not New York, that would try out the worlds championship with De- troit champion of the other league.
 Display of Rowdyism,
 A display of rowdyIsm at the very end of the game by few disgrnntlcd spectators marred in measure what had hitherto been good fair treat ment oi the visiting players. II vas after the game was over and tho the crowd had swarmed oyer the field that a number of roughs made an att tack on Captain Chance, who with his fellow players, was making his way to the club house. Several pop bottles were thrown and one struck Chance In the neck. Inhictlng what was said to be slight hruse The Chicago players left for the west io- night
 | on every hand tonight could be heard the verdict of New York fans concerning the winning of the pen. nant hv Chicago II was hut natural that gloom should follow tho blasting of New Yorks pennant hopes but many New Workers took consolation by saylnE New York had already won the pennant; Chicago had no right to it.
 Nothing else but thc game was dis cussed in the hotel Hobbies and on the streets, lt Is impossible tn say how many persons followed each play of tho game by watching the newspapn bulletin boards or scanning the ticket tape. but certainly there has never been such great interest in a sporting event before In this country
 Nothing but the Game,
 Before every bulletin board in the city thousands gathered long before the game began In Park Roy where there were half dozen bulletin boards the crowd was so large as to interfere with traffic and overflow ed from the street into City hall park. on Broadway about the hulla- | tin boards of the uptown newspapers, | thousands CougreGated and at the newspaper branch offices in all sec tlons If the city more thousands gath | cred,
 Then. in addition to the street crowd there was the enormous hotel | and cafe crowds, who followed tho game by ticket There seemed Co be nothing else of importance to think about here to-day except the famous l ball game
 McGraw's Statement,
 Manager McGraw of the New Works | said Al the club house after the game | T do not feel badly about this game l We merely lost something we had won l before This cant he put too strongly As for Mathewson, he pitched winning ! bn1 ,yau rlpra1p n IlOgp
