BosroN, Oct. 12.-Brcoklyn's civic
pride suffered its supreme setback this
afternoon. In the nfth and what proved
to be the Ina game Of the worlds
championship baseball series the Brook
lyn Nationals were as clay In the hands
Of the Boston Americans and were
forced to accept another IND all con-
Quering defeat. The score was 4 to 1.
Having won four contests the Boston
players were once more proclaimed
champions of diamond domain. the ac-

The somewhat frequent meeting or

The pennant aspiration was fuirlled. but
the hope OF world conquest had only
once before been crushed In quicker and
more convincing fashion.
Uphold Honesty Of sport.
One thing may be said about the un-
deferred decision. II speaks volumes
for the honesty OF baseball. which from
time to time has been the victim OF
aspersion. Il might have been possible
to draw the series out. perhaps to the
limit OF seven games, but since 1919
short series have been the rule.
