champions, 1s2i-the New York Ma
tional League Baseball Club.
The Giants won the title, which
will be theirs for the next, year. by
defeating the Yankees in the eighth
game of the worlds series at the
Pole Grounds today.
The American League champions
wound up fighting hard in classic
twirling duel between their pitching
ace. Waite Hoyt. and Art Nehf, the
Giants star left-hander.
However, they lacked the neces-
:sary punch to win, the National
League team taking the game by the
score of 1 to 0 and the series, FIVE
games to three.
The Giants victory gives Manager
John j. McGraw his second worlds
championship team. The New York
Nationals, seven-time pennant VIM
ners under McGraw's management,
captured the worlds title against the
Athletics of the American League in
1906.
High-Class Pitching Won
As for the underlying reason for
the success of the McGraw men the
experts may differ. but there seems
little cause to doubt that the most
widely propounded opinion will be
that it was because Of a preponder-
;ance of high-class pitching ability.
The series showed but two Of Man.

Hoyt-whiIe the Giants put forward
"A trio of master workmen in Doug
las, Barnes and Nehf.
AS for the final and decisive game
of the series, the winning of 1t was
due to the superb pitching of Nehf
against a 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 singles and three
of them coming with two men out.
Hardly whit less creditable was
the performance of Hoyt, the Yam
kee youngster who twice before in
this series had taken Nehf's measure
in close battles. Hoyt was in trou-
BILE in several innings. but except in
the fatal first, when the Giants
scored their only tally on two bases
on balls and an error, he worked
himself out brilliantly, once with a
fine running catch by Fewster to
help along.
Some Tally Made In First
The Giants won by as costly an
error as was introduced into the final
battle Of a rigorous world series
campaign. Not even the famous
Snodgrass muff will stand out in
Baseball history as glaringly as
Peck's inglorious missing OF the
grounder batted by George Kelly
with two on bases and two out in the
first frame. Burns had opened the
inning by rolling out via Baker,
again at third in the injured McNal-
ly's stead. Bancroft coaxed walk.
getting the benefit of Umpire Ollie
Chill's decision on two curves that
appeared to have cut corners of the
plate. Frisch fouled to Pipp for the
second out. Young drew a pass that
proved fatal for 1t moved Bancroft
down to second. and when Kelly's
slam, straight at Peckinpaugh
squirmed through his legs and roll
ed into left field, Bancroft dashed
across the plate with what was to
prove the only run OF the afternoon.
A run counted without hit. Emil
Meusel tapped weakly to Hoyt for
the third out
Ruth Fails In Final Call
The game. won by the Giants in
the first inning, was probably saved
for them in the ninth by as brilliant
a fielding performance as has been
seen on the diamond in many a day.
One Yankee had been retired in
the final frame. This one was Babe"
Ruth, again in uniform. but 'confin-
ing 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 larg-'
er and larger. picked up hope and
cheered wildly as the ''Bambino"
stepped to the plate to bat for wally
Pipp.
The Home Run King made a vail
ant try, but his injured arm had TAX

best he could do with Nehf's puzzl-
