VictOrs Credit.
ny DANIEL.

mo doubt we disappointed many
critics, but this club of ours Is one
of the greatest baseball ever saw
said John McGraw. jubilant and per-
spring, in the clubhouse after yester-
days decisive triumph. "The Giants
played the greatest ball ever jammed
into a series. They hit hard, they
were smart In the field and on the
bases-they rose to every emergency.
They did themselves proud.
1--WE were supposed to have nothing
more than a few wrecks In the box
but Nehf Ryan. Barnes, Scott and Me-
Qullan came through just as ! thought
they would. They outpitched their rivals
and they certainly must have surprised
the other club. We showed the Yankees
more stuff in the box than the Yankees
showed US by a big margin.
Il want to congratulate the players.
every man Jack of them--and want
to congratulate myself for having the
leadership of a club like that which Is
never licked and always Is out there
fighting. We won the pennant that way
and 1T was a foregone conclusion that
the boys would fight that way for the
retention OF the world championship.
Praise for His Inneld.
mo inheld ever played ball the way
Bancroft, Frisch, Groh and Kelly played
through the series. No team made runs
when II had to the way our boys did.
IT was grand exhibition and a great
boost for the game. That play by Young
cut there to-day was a corker, too.
want to say that the Yankees made us
fight like the devil and that their field
ing was far and above what we looked
for. No game was Won until the third
man was out IN the ninth inning. No
world series before this produced FIVE
games so keenly contested.
Il want to pay my compliments TO ali
Tour umpires. 1 think that they did
the best work ever shown by any set
or umpires In so important a SERIES"
McGraw was congratulated by Judge
Lands. who said: You have a great
team and deserve victory. Baseball has
gained immeasurably from this gresS
series" The Judge also congratulated
the Yankees for the fine fight they put
up and the fne way In which they took
defeat even though defeat was more
calling than II It had been administered
by club from some other city.
Hughey Jennings declared that he had
been around In baseball for q good many
years but never before had he seen such
smart baseball and such hard fighting
by a club. The Giants are one of the
greatest OF all time--and ought 10
know" said Hughey. THAT cutin by
foung--tbe cutoffs OF yesterday--smart rt
baseball that, which made the other fel-
lows look stupid when they really were
not. They had too much against them. +"
Big BOOST for Baseball.
Charley Stoneham. Judge Mcouade.
Jim Tierney and many old time bali
players ell came In to congratulate Nc
Graw on having won his third world
championship. Stonsham said: This
game is great thing for baseball. The
clubs Will get mighty little money out
OF this series, but II Is boost for the
game
Miller Huggins looked glum and he
spoke In a glum way. He was greatly
disappointed and he was greatly cha
grined over the way Bush had treated
him when he sent out the order TO pass
Young. He was down In the mouth. all
In and stunned by the fact that his club
had not won a game. We'll we were
licked, but I must hand II to McGraw's a
team-smart, fighting all the time. with
far greater pitching than I ever dreamed
they could get" said Huggins. "Our
boys fought hard--inade them 20 the
limit I'm every game. But the breaks
were against us. surely thought that
Bush would put us N the series to-day.
But here we are--finished. Better luck
next year"
Col. Ruppert's appearance at the press
headquarters in the Commodore was the
signal for three rousing cheers. The
Colonel made a short speech. I'VE were
beaten---and the greatest team in base
ball won. There was no disgrace there
We hope to do better next year"
To-day the Giants and the Yankees
will gather I'm their -lub houses for the
last time this year. Some Of the play
ers are going to japan with Herbert
Hunter and will tour 'he Orient. Others
may do n little transforming. which "a
permitted this year IL not more than
three players OF any one team are or
any one club. The payoff will not bs
made for some time.
Honors Even at Glendale.
