GIANTS WIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BY
DEFEATING YANKS EIGHTH GAME, 10

be theirs for the next year, oy defeat
Ing the Yankees IN the eighth game
OF the world series at the Polo
Grounds today. The American League
champions died fighting hard in a
classic twirling duel between their
pitching act. Waite Hoyt and Art
Nehf, the Giants star left handler.
However. they lacked the necessary
punch to win, the National League
team taking the game by the score of
70 Q, and the series, five games to
three.
The Giants vistory gives Manager
John j McGraw his second worlds
championship team. The New York
Nationals seven time pennant winners
under McGraw's management, cap-
tured the worlds title against the
Athletics OF the American League in
1905. but although winning the bunt-
ing five times since, they have been
baffled every time until this year in
Their quest for world honors, twice
bowling to the Athletics, once to the
Red Sox and once to the White Sox
In titular combats.
This year with a National League
entrant that has shown It's high class
by coming from behind late in the
pennant race and bea ting the Pitts
burg Pirates to the flag. the worlds
series told a different story. Off to
poor start, through their loss OF the
first two games OF the series, the
Giants gamely came back. speedily
evened up the series aud then, with
but a slight let up while getting their
second wind, rounded into the stretch
with rush and pushed through with
three straight victories TO their final
triumph In every victory. except to-
days they came from behind to win.
/ Thus one OF the Jest and most holly
contested series In the history of the
spor'& was won clearly and In the final
ANALYSIS decisivelv. by a club whose
Z gameness and a1l-around ability Of the
highest grade win be generally con-
ceded
AS for the underlying reason for the
success OF the McGraw men. the ex-
perts may differ but there seems lit
tie cause to doubt that the most wide
1y propounded opinion will be that it
was because Of prepouderance of
high class pitching ability. The series
showed but two of Manager Miller
Higgins twir1ers capable OF pitching,
winning pathways and Hoyt-while
the Giants put forward a trio Of mas
ter workmen in Douglas, Barnes and
Nehf.
outhit by the Giants in nearly every
game and by many points in the Sc
ries as a whole, the Yankees none the
less made hard fight of it by their
smartness in manufacturing runs out
OF scant material and the superb work
done by NAYS and Hoyt in six of the
eight battles Their championship
craft .ent down with flag flving and
tonieh their loyal supporters were
rendering their condolences over the
loss OF the series with CONGRATULATIONS
upon the showing the Yankee plav-
ers had made in the first world title
series a New York American League
team has ever earned the right to
compete. AS for the final and de-
cisive game of the series the winning
of It was due to the superb pitching
OF Nehf against moundsman to
whom he had twice lost the decision
earlier in the series. Allowing the
American League batsmen but four
hits. none of them better than sim
giles and three OF them coming with
two men out, the crafty southpaw
again and again turned the Yankees
back In order or baffled their deter /
mined efforts to put across the soE- I
falsy run for which they We're strlrg- !
Cling All through the contest. Hardly ,
q whit less credltable was the per-
Torrance of Hoyt the Yankee young
ster. Hoyt was in trouble in several
innings. but except in the fatal first,
when the Giants scored theft only tally
on two bases on balls and an error,
he worked himself out brilliantly at
once with a fine running catch by
Fewster to help along. Toward the
end he was going STRONGER than ever,
retiring the Giants in order in the
eighth and ninth.
The game won by the Giants in the
first inning, was probably saved for
them IN the ninth by as BRILLIANT field
ing performance as has been seen on II
the diamond In many day. Il
One Yankee had been retired in the
final frame. This one was 'Ba be-,
Ruth again in uniform, but combining
his activities heretofore in the game
to the coaching lines. The Yankee
fans who had been for eight innings
watching that one lonely tally Of the
Giants loom larger and larger, picked
up hope and cheered wildly as the
''Bamhira" stepped to the plate to bat
for wally Pipp. The home run king
made a violent try, but his injured arm
had taken the power from his swing
and the hest he could do with Nehf's
puzzllrg delivery was TO ground weak

fortunate. Fe waited out Nehf, who
had been somewhat wild for several !
innings ard finally walked.
