 New York, Sept. 25,-Baseball's Trojan war, in which the allied cities of both leagues combined to recap ture the worlds championship held by New York for three seasons will apparently end in compromise.
 Unless a diamond miracle inter- fsres, the Giants representing New York. and the Senators, battling for the allies, will fight it out in the world series while other competitors rest and watch in the galleries with a national audience keyed for a classic climax.
 Today. the Giants lead Brooklyn by one game and Pittsburgh by three and one-half, and Washington main- tains its two-contest margin over the fading world champions. Each club, with four games to play. needs to win only three to clinch its respec- tive pennant. Both are now playing a fighting and triumphant game which apparently insures their league success and whets interests in their prospective clash next week.
 The gods smiled upon the Giants yesterday in their to victory over Pittsburgh which virtually eliminat- ed the Pirates but it was a smile earned by grit and the ability to rise to the occasion which is as potent a factor in the prospective fourth con- seeutivs pennant for John McGraw as it is in the determined rise and failure to fall of Young Stanley Har- ris' Senators.
 New York got the break but also made them. Wilson's home run clout in the fifth inning overcame Yde's clever pitching and an impenetrable infield defense whose three double plays in early innings had nipped The Giant attempts.
 In the next inning Lindstrom's bunt hit clod of dirt and went safe. Young sacrificed and kelly's infield out advanced the rookie to third. At this point strategy entered-and fail ed. Meusel was passed purposely to get Terry who hit the first pitched ball just beyond Crimm's glove for a single on which Lindstrom scored Wilson poked a slow roller between third and short. Traynor made a sparkling pickup but his hurried throw was just trifle higher than Grimm could stretch and hold. The ball bounced out of his glove and the winning run was over. The Pirates, befuddled now, could not stop double steal on which Terry scored without a throw as Wilson was run down.
 Earl Smiths two home runs came with nobody on although Pittsburgh left nine men on the sacks at other times. The Pirates had more chances than the Giants but could not con- vert them into runs. Wright led a superb exhibition of defense with F chances and Yde and Morrison al lowed only six hits to nine off Barnes-but the Giants got four runs and probably the peDnant'
 Brooklyn pursued it's forlorn hope by beating the Cubs, 6 to 5, driving Alexander from the box. Grimes was ruffled by B Chicago hits but went the route. The Robins have only two more games to play--both with Boston, and cannot win unless New York drops three of its four with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
 Washington added Thurston White sox pitching ace. to the vic tims of its irresistible march to glory and Washington's first pennani winning 6 to 3. Sam Rice increas- ed his seasons record of consecutive hitting to Sl games.
 The Yankees, going down fighting won again from Cleveland, 2 to 0 as Jones pitched steady game.
 Cincinnati surrendered fourth
