Roston. oct. 12.--The Boston
Americans won the championship of
tbe baseball universe here this after
noon when they defeated thc Brook
hn Nationals. 4 to /, in the fifth ana
final game of the worlds series of
1916. The greatest gathering in the
history of the American national sporo
Witnessed the victory, AZ $40 fans de-
parting after the contest, convinced
that the Bostons were the baseball
machine par excellence of recent
years,
As result Of the four-games-to.
one contest over Brooklyn, Boston is
tonight celebrating its fifth victory ~
worlds series since 1903. and there is
added joy in the fact that never in
IFS history has a Boston team been
forced to bow to the superior Prov
css of a rival in such a contest.
The victory over Brooklyn today
was so clean-cut and decisive that
there was left no ground for argu-
ment That the better team won the
championship was obvious. Before
the speed and curves Of Ernest shore,
the BrooRlyns were woll-nigh clip
less, while Jeff Pfeffer, the last hope
of Brooklyn, proved unequal to the
task Of holding Boston in check.
Although the nationals were first
to score, their advantage was short
lived, and once the Bostons unlim-
bered their heavy hitting artillery, any
doubt regarding the outcome OF the
game was dissipated, so closely did
Shore hold the Brooklyn clan in the
mystery Of his deceptive delivery.
The invaders from Greater New
York were able to score only three
hits for a similar total of bases ana
the solitary run scored was unearned.
It was the result of a pass, a sacri-
flee, and an out and a passed ball.
Boston, on the other hand, got ten
bases on seven hits and two of its
four runs were earned.
Fans in OvCTCOais.
Although the contest was played
before record throng of fans, there
was only a moderate amount of en-.
thusiasm, the chilling weather and the
ease with which Boston disposed of its
opponents dulIng the edge Of such
outbursts as sprang from grandstands
and bleachers at the more thrilling
points of the game. The day was bit
ter cold, with a piercing wind from
the east The spectators, who pald

American league champions, came
prepared for the NOvember-like
weather Ovcrcoats, fur wraps and
heavy gloves were much in evidence,
Aside from Shores clever cold
weather hurting and sensational
running shoe-top catch by Wheat off
Shore in the fifth and its mate by
Lewis In the eighth, when he robbed
Nerhe. batting for Pfeffer, of an
apparently sure double the game was
deEoid Of feature plays.
Immediately after Scott had
cIinched the championship by gobbling
Mowrey's short fly for the final out
OIL the game, the spectators rushed
upon the field and fell in behind the
koyaI Rooters and their band, for
parade on the first circuit of the
diamond, they captured President il
D. Lannin Of the Boston club, and then
crossed the field after President c, H.
bbbets of Brooklyn. Amid the
cheers Of the fans, the rival club eX-
ecuiiyes Joined arms and led the
march while thousands in the stands
stayed to watch the celebration.
