Chicago, October 2S-The baseball cham pionship of the world belongs to the Phil adephia club of the American league. They clinched the big pennant fest today with seven runs to two for the Chicago Nationals and there was none in the big overflow crowd to say that they had not won it fairly and squarely.
 Five games were played and the east ern youngsters took four of them by out batting outielding and outrushing the vet eran Chicagoans and the "got the jump" at the start and although Chicago pune tGated their progress with defeat yes terday it really did not change the sit nation a bit.
 The Philadelphians were due They won the American league banner in 1902, but there was no worlds series that year. Five years ago the Nationals were too strong for them. So in this year of grace it was not in the cards that they were to be denied.
 While the series was not the most profitable ever played it helps to sim plify the high cost of living problems confronting even such heroes as the Phil adelphians to say nothing of the Chi cagoans with winter coming on. The players share of the money amounts to s79,071 8. Of this 60 per cent or SAT, AS. b, goes to the winners and S31, CPS T to the losers. As there are 23 players on each team eligible to participate, each of the Philadelphians is entitled in round mum. bers to s2o62 and each Chicagoan to $1S75.

 | According to the general verdict, the newly won prestige of the Philadelphias and their wealth, entitle them to top places in athletic bluebooks and for the same reasons, with others added. it is declared that while Connie Mack is a good workaday appellation and fits nicely into headlines that as manager of the greatest ball team on earth he should henceforth be addressed as MT Cornelius McGillicuddy. with never syllable slurred. When this was put to MT. Nc Giilicuddy, however, he blushed modest- ly and said 1t did not matter what the manager of a team like his was called l Connie Mack Is Proud They're a grand bunch of boys,' he said, beaming on his men, and Tn proud of them. They never quit. IT the first four games we used only tef men, which speaks well for the way the boys work together and not until today did I make any changes"
 | The performance of Coombs in pitching and winning three of a fve-game series l is probably unique He had but one days rest between the second and third games but three days intervened between the third contest and today's exhibition.
