Take Sixth and Final Game of Series by Score of 2
 to 1 in Fine Battle.

strike called, the last ball thrown III professional combat until Uncle sam slams an iron pill against the haiser's rib for the greatest putout in the history of the world. The Boston Americans wound up the worlds ser les and league competition for the duration of the war as well yesterday afternoon at Fenway Park when they defeated the Chicago Nationals by 2 to 1. As the victory marked the Bos- ton clubs fourth success, as against only two for the Cubs, the series was declared over and last night the play CTS were scurrying to their homes. Chicago went down fighting to the last, tooth and nail, but the lion hearted defence of the Red SoX never faltered. Theirs is the final glory, and no man may take their crown until the springtime of peace comes to a world that has been born again and calls joyously as of old: "Play ball"
 To Carl Mays-Carl with the far hair and inverted delivery---felt the honor of pitching the Red SoX into the baseball kingdom of the world. But 1t was George Whiteman, whose vicious drive. scoring two runs in the third, broke George Tyler's heart and whose phenomenal diving catch in the eighth blighted a budding rally and wrung a groan of despair from Fred Mitchelrs lips.
 And upon Max Flack-poor unfor tunate Flack-is heaped the blame for the loss of the game. Flack came in swiftly to catch that vicious drive of Whiteman's. The ball struck his hands fairly, but 1t bounded out and away. However, If Mann, in the fourth inning, had not relapsed into semi-consciousness and been caught off first by Schang's quick throw, he would have moved to second when Paskert walked, and two runs instead of one would have resulted from Mer- kle's single.
