Little Jack warhop. the samest OF his

or at least prolong It for an
other day He had 20 give II up az

the feeble efforts OF his cast 1t soon be-
came evident TO all that the New Yorks
as whole had had quite enough TO
satisfy them for one season. Many OF
the young men have provided against the
future with iron clad contracts. They
had no interest in the gate OF this last
game. so why worry
Giants Encourage psmsree.
Al Demaree pitched a very good game
under the circumstances. He was afforded
some encouragement. though for short
time ne was on the short end OF the score
His teammates. aware OF their distinct
advantage. pressed the enemy At every
turn. They played with a confidence in
striking contrast TO the happy 90 lucky
demeanor OF the club that realized II had
only to let It's foot slip the least little bit
to avoid any further argument
Had the New York Americans fought
as spiritedly for this last game as they
fought in any of the first three OF the Sc
ries there might have been a chance for
them. They had almost as many open
ings as the victors, while WARRIOR pitched
a game that compared favorably with
that of Demaree. But Peckinpaugh's men
acted as n they realized they were beaten
from the start. His weak attack did not
arise TO any OF many openings. while the
defence s!oughed off In the most careless
fashion.
Whatever spark OF animation remained
after the three earlier drubbings was
snuffed by double plays engineered by the
Giants In the second and third innings!
The city champions left themselves wide
open in both these sections. but their
rivals couldn't or wouldn't improve their
chances. After the double killings. which
barred the pathway. there was no more
kick. In the last six innings but three of
Peckinpaughs men saw first, and none
got 30 far as second. Cook scratched n
high bounce over Demarees head for an
infeld single with two out in the sixth.
He was left on Cree's easy loft to Burns.
Nunamaker strol!ed with two gone in the
seventh TO be forced by Boone. The dying
gasp was Cree's infeld single In the ninth
that Grant knocked down with his bare
hand. Fletcher made a wonderful rum
ming catch OF Mullen's foul near the left
field stand. and Pecknpaugh ended the
game with an easy hoist to Merkle.
Peck ana Nunnmnker Err.
Manager PeckinpauEh and Leslie Nuna-
maker were the most RrieVous offenders
of the pride of WARRIOR. who kept plug
ging along on first speed Just for con-
trariness in spite of his surroundings.
Pecknpaugh's horrible error on Snod-
grass let Doyle over with the tieing run in
the fourth inning, The enthusiasm of the
New Yorks could be seen TO fairly ooZe
out after their managers mistake.
Nunamaker had n regular nightmare OF
It in the sixth when the Giants clinched
the title with a cluster of three runs He
mixed two bad errors in with a double
general ivory cluttered thinking on the
part OF the chalengers. Half a dozen
possible plays were all made wrong.
1t took two doubles, a hit batsman and
an error In the second inning to give the
American Leaguers their sole tally. Cree
doubled to left and raced to third when
Meyers threw to centre field trying to
catch Birdie asleep on the midway. Null
len was then hit by pitched ball. Peck
inpaugh slammed at the first pitch before
Mullen had a chance 10 start, with tho
result that he hit right at Doyle and into
double play, Cree came in with the
first run OF the game meanwhile, but the
two ply elimination. which might have
been avoided had the runner been under
way. was italicized by Nunamakers re-
sounding double which followed immedi-
ately. This double indeed would have
tCOTtu an average ITUlIl, nTbt ana
an extra run at that stage OF the game
would no doubt have put an entirely DIFF
ferent complexion TO the affair.
