Ban Johnson Says the Boston
Machine Glasses with Best
In History.

Boston, Oct. 12.-After the conclud-
ing world series game here to-day Ban
Johnson, president Of the American
League, said:
1.-THE Red Sox won, as was sure they
would. CarriCan deserved the greater
part Of the credit. He built up this
great machine, which now takes its
place with the wonderful ball teams Of
former years-Orioles, Cubs and Ath-
.etics.

tory is a tribute to the integrity OF the
game. will make a prediction that
Carrigan will be seen at the head OF

"The series came out as | expected.

the strongest aggregations ever organ.

John X. Tener, president Of the Ma

but in no manner disgraced. Wilbert
Robinson's club proved a formidable
foe for one of the finest teams of mod
crn times. | never saw greater defen-
sive play than Boston showed. But
still the first three games were all de-
cided by one run, and with the breaks
of the game going the other way l am
sure Brooklyn would have taken the
first three straight"

It's play throughout was the nearest to

"BETTER BALL
TEAM BEAT U.S."
SAYS ROBINSON

A sad and detected flock of Robins
arrived at Grand Central Station last
night and fed silently away into the
darkness. They were sore at heart
over their defeat at the hands OF the
Red Sox, and few Of them were willing
TO talk.
Even Wilbert Robinson lost his
smile under the weight of the defeat.
He said: "Well, it is all over. and we
were beaten. We were beaten by a
team that played good. sound baseball
in the last two games, even II they
got the best Of luck In the opening
two. Our boys couldn't hit Shore, and
the Red Sox did hit our pitchers.
Then, they didn't make errors, and we
did. 1t is too bad, of course, but we
have TO take our hats Off TO the cham
pions, and my hat is do.fed with the
rest. Carrigan has n good club.
mighty good club, and It won"
Tho other players felt just about
the same way Robbie did. They ad-
mitted that the Red Sox had a great
ball club; a club that played tight,
sound baseball in the pinches and was
strong enough to mako tho most OF
chances 10 score.
