 New York, Sept 25.-Twenty-five thousand spectators rooted right roy ally for the Giants yesterday when they faced the Cubs in their final game of the season. From 25, 900 throats came hearty cheers for Mc- Graw and his men atthe finish of the game Donlin was the hero of the afteEnoon;, Chance was the "booby." They both earned their titles-Don- lin by his great work with his bat, the Chicagoan by his continued exhi- bition of i'll temper and pouting in the face of defeat. The big, crowd guyed Chance unmercifully every time he went to bat. He didn't like 1t bit, either, and took his:medicine with bad grace, but he had let his sportsmanship side slide when he quibbled over technicality and prob ably desefyed all he got yesterday, A lawyer was spoiled when Chance adopted baseball p1ayingsas profes- sion. Maybe its. just as well Chance didn't adopt the law as profession. You know there are only two classes and ne might have landed into the class that does not. stand very well with the public, sa
 Wiltse was sent in to pitch for the Giants and for five, innings had the Cubs standing on their heads or chas- ing themselves around III a circle. Brown, .Chicago's star twi.ler, was se- lected to beat the New Workers. The selection proved that Chance was near having a brainstorm, as in the very first inning McGraw's bunch drove two men across the plate. This is how 1t happened:
 Penney got free ticket. So did Herzog, after two strikes were against him. Bresnahan smashed a terrific liner about five feet foul into the left field bleachers and followed it with a high fly to Schulte. Donlin smashed line drive that caromed off Steinfeldt's finger tips to left field for two bases, scoring Penney. Sey- mour chopped an infield hit over Browns head, scoring Herzog, Don lin running to third. Devlin chop ped to Steinfeldt and Donlin was run down by Kling, Seymour making third and Devlin going to second. Mo Cormick rapped long fly to Holman.
 In the fifth Brown was knocked out of the box and the Giants added a trio of tallies to their credit in the following manner:
 Penney beat out chop hit that bounded thirty feet in the air. Her zog' bunted to Chance for, a sacrifice, Penney going to second. Bresnahan chopped a single toward third, Ten ney y,running to third, Donlin smash cd the ball an awful welt to deep left held for three bases, scoring Penney and Bresnahan. Seymour's long sac rifice fly to Schulte gave DonIin chance to cross the plate. Evers made beautiful one hand catch of Dev- lin's Texas leaguer back of second. ! In the seventh the Cubs threw a scare into the fans by rolling up four salhes. Wiltse. who was tired, hav- ing worked like Trojan for six in- 1ings, began to show signs of weak sning, and McGraw put Matty in, Joakley in the meantime replacing Brown in the sixth, and Overall talk ng his place in the seventh. The seventh was played in this fashion:
 Steinfeldt singled between third | md short. Devlin fumbled Hofman's ,rounder, being in too much of a l lurry to throw the ball. Tinker a single to right. Steinfaldt | coring and Holman running to third. | King smashed low one on the nose 0 deep right field for three bases. coring Hoffman and Tinker, and Me iraw promptly took Wiltse out and ut Mathewson in the box. Howard 'atted for Coakley and singled to left | coring King. Hayden hit to Brid- veil, forcing Howard to Herzog and 'eing doubled up at first. Evers was brown out, Bridwell to Penney.
 Matty had turned the tide and gain demonstrated that he is the 'remier pitcher of the big leagues. Big Six finished the game and held he whip hand at every stage.
 To Bresnahan belongs a big share f the credit for winning yesterdays anne. He was the busiest man on he diamond, was Johnny-on-the-spotl t all times and his counsel and ex- mple did wonders for his teammates.
 To-day the Giants play the Cincin- ati Reds two games, the first at 1:3Ol clock. The Cubs go to Brooklyn. he score:
