Philadelphia. oct 3.-One lone victory IS
all that now stands between the New York
Giants and the National League pennant.
John j. McGraw and his band captured one
OF the two games needed to clinch the pen
nant beyond all possibility of loss when
the Phillies were wallopcd 10y the one-sided
score of J. TO here this afternoon. In
order 10 lose that coveted gonfalon the
Giants will have TO lose all their remaining
games while the closely claw-clipped Cubs
crstwhile champions of the older organiza-
ton, make clean sweep. For five innings
to-day the game bore all the aspects Of
struggle. and Grover Cleveland Alexander,
known 10 the fans as Alexander the
Great battled ON even terms with the
steady going reliable Otis Crandan.

sensation OF the Quaker city team to main
tain against the busy Giants, and he was
Knocked out Of the box In the sixth inning,
when the visitors punched two two-base
hits with brace of singles for four runs
Stanley was rushed TO the relief OF the
fallen star, but all roads led to the plate
for the Giants. who merrily bombarded
Stanley for a double and a triple which
intermingled with his own wild pitch and
a grewsome error by the usually brilliant
Mike DOolan, produced five more runs. That
over. the Giants hurried through the game
i'm order to catch a train for New York
and home. Smith, a member of the well
known family Of Pittsburg finished the
game without being scored on. In the
eighth inning Smith retired the Giants on
three pitched balls.

Prominent among the small but select
gathering Of some five thousand spectators

game on a National League field In Phila-
delphia for the year was Connie Mack,
