HITTERS LOST CROWN
tBy Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-New York
went back to work today after partial
lily forgetting business for more than
ia week because it interferred with in
lterest in the worlds series.
A few of the more enthusiastic fans
decided to wait a while before return
| ing their noses to the grindstone. They
lfelt it wholly befitting to sit and talk
iabout what a great, thing it all was
this triumph of the New York Giants
over the New York Yankees five
games to three in the first world series
/, that Manhattan ever enjoyed TO itself.
These fans opened the hot stove league
season with fervor Much of their
chatter concerned yesterdays finale
/ in which the Giants beat the Yankees
| to o.
! The Giant rooters contended their
favorites We're the gamest in baseball
and cited how after they had been
shut out in the first two contests, the
McGraw men fought back, winning
five of the last six games.
Supporters of the Yankees counter
ed with the observation that unfor-
itunate breaks in luck lost the last two
games for the American leaguers
whose pitchers, Mays and Hoyt per
formed magnificently and deserved
lshutouts And they also would have
Giant fans remember that Babe Ruth
the homer of all the homers in the mat
tier of clouting baseballs played the
early games handicapped by a multi
|tude of injuries which forced him out
entirely in the final trio of contests.
Everybody believed that the one big
treason the Yankees lost the title after
lstarting out like whirlwinds was the
failure of their heavy hitters to hit
lheavily.
Nobody can say we quit" Babe
Ruth declared Its too bad we lost
but even in defeat we fought hard un
It'll the last man was out. The Giants
got the breaks in the last two games
Luck was with them but we gave then
"a real fight"
