new YORK TEAMS
TO Fight II OUT
Giants and Highlanders Have
Arranged for a ost-seasons
Series.

New York. August 20.-It has been
definitely decided that the Giants and
the Highlanders Will play a series OF
seven games at the close OF the pres
ent season to decide the championship
OF New York. provided that neither of
them wins the pennant In their re-
spective leagues. A discussion OF this
series has been underRw for a month
or more.
For seven years a continuous effort
has been made to get the two New
York clubs together. but until this
season there had been some hitch that
prevented 1t at the last minute. When
the Giants first Won the pennant in the
National League they refused to con-
slider challenge from the Highlanders
on the ground that the two teams did
not finish In the same relative posi-
lions In their respective leagues Nv
York also refused to play with the
Boston Americans at that time be-
cause the national commission had not
adopted set OF rules and regulations
to govern such contest.
The year GLOWING g. when the Giants
again won the pennant, q. game with
the Highlanders was out OF the ques-
tion. as they had to play the Athletics
for the worlds championship.
Another attempt was made when
the two clubs finished fourth. and this
time the Giants paved the way. Mr..
Farrell and his associates declined on
the grounds that the National leaguers5
had refused to meet them two years
before. Toward the end of the last
season Arthur Irwin went to the reps
resentatives of the Giants to make
arrangements for series and 1T was
agreed upon. Mr.. Farrell. Mr.. Brush
and all the players were willing. but
TAT the last minute there came OBJ
3jections on the part of Manager Stall
sings. and again the series had to be
declared of. s3lsa y
* The old feeling OF anlmosity be-
tween the 1nanag cement Of the two
+ clubs has passed now, and a series Is
assured. It is believed that this series

players will be rich ly rewarded for
their work. Il
