Giantß Win World Title After Long Wait of 16 Years 1921 Series Establishes New Attendance and Receipts Records. By HKNRY F.IBBKI.L. \KW TORK. Oct. 14.--After sixteen yea re back in the second or third ros, John J. McGraw sat on the top of the baseball world today. Ilia Giants were the champions of the world and his triumph was complete. Yeung “Erin" Ward and the never failing Roger Peckinpsugh enabled the National League champions to win the world’s series without an earned run In the two last games. Ward wobbled in the seventh game and paved the way for the Giant victory. The impregnable "Peck" cracked in the pinch yesterday and knocked the props ont from under Waite Hoyt's brilliant game. Judge Landis said today that two more closely matched clubs and two with more fighting spirit never played in a world's series, and most of the £69,976 fans who saw the eight games will agree with him. The fallacy of the nine game spries was so mueh brought to light in this series that Judge Landis is going to propose a return to the old standard of seven games. Players and fans alike were fatigued by eight games here and tne feeling was shown yesterday when the big Brush stadium was jest a little more than half tilled. If New York can't pack the Polo stands for a world's series something is missing. The series, regardless of two small -crowds, established an attendance and receipts record. The paid attendance for the eight games amounted to $900,233, from 269.976 spectators This was $177,819 more than the previous record, made in 1919, when the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox were playing. The attendance was also 18.075 greater. The Giants, as the winning club, get 55.265 each and each Yankee will get $3,510. The Cleveland Indians and the -Pittsburgh Pirates, second in the two P-agues, will divide $45 878. and the two •St. Louis clubs, which finished third, will split $29,252. The advisory board wlil take $135,043 and the club owners get the balance of $472,675.

GOOD PITCHING FORCED ISSUE INTO PLAYING FIELD AND GIANTS PROVED THE BETTER CLUB THERE
By SID MERCER. NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—Now that it’s all over,- there is no doubt that the better team won. Yankee partisans will dispute this statement, but an analysis of the series will prove it The Giants onthit and outfielded their American I<eague rivals and they had the weight of pitchers. McGraw was able to keep his championship line-up intact wb.le the Van kees lost their big punch when Rath was counted ont. He was practically useless to them after the first game; missed two others and was a cripple when he appeared in the final scene as a pinch Liter. McGraw found his third reliable slab mar. in Jess Barnes, who divides the pitching honors for the winners with Phil Douglas. N'eihf shut the Yankees out in the final number, but Barnes made it possible for the Giants to cash in on this game. Some folks say that fielding decided the series; that it came down to a narrow point where the Giants shoved over the winning run on the only Yankee bobbies in the last two games. The more sensible view to take is that the pitching was ro good that it was practically a draw between the rival boxrnen In the seventh and eighth games. That forced the issue into the field and the Giants won by playing perfect ball behind Douglas and Nehf. Errors by Ward and Peekingpaugh slew Mays apd Hoyt. The breaks of the game did not unduly handicap the Yanks in the field. They played such perfect bagebail in the first jwo games that the Giants were unable to score behind exeel'ent pitching. That gave the, Yanks a decided advantage, which they sluffed off because Huggins could not find his third pitcher. The Giants played steadily even in de- ' Grand Circuit STRAIGHT HEATS FEATURE.

fruit, while the Yanks cracked at two critical stages. The Giants came from behind in three of their five victories. The Yanks won only one game In which the Giants scored first. The Giants were like better scoring ma chine when one run was needed. They waited eight innings to get Mays the first time. The Yanks could not get one badly needed run on Wednesday and the same experience befell them yesterday. Both clubs were directed with rare managerial skill. In his selection of pitchers, Huggins had little choice. He made possibly one or two mistakes. That was when he permitted Shaw key to re main in the box long enough to force over two runs in the third game and then called on Collins to succeed Wuinn in a later iEning. Had McGraw lost the series his critics could have picked ont the third and fifth games to question his judgment in starting Fred Toney.i Toney did not lose either game, but in both he gave the Yankees comfortable leats. Huggins loses nothing in defeat. His resources were not as gnat as McGraw’a and he can not be blamed for tbe loss of Ruth. Suppose the Glams had lost Frisch and had been compelled to plat* an untried youngster at third base? It was a tough series to lose, but a wonderful victory for the Giauts. Tbe issue was drawn much finer than the figurea teVeal. Tbe Giants got the breaks at the right time. Had Bob Shawkey been "right' we in-. ■ line to the belief that the Yanks would have walked away with the series. But Sbuwkey was a flivver and Ruth a costly casualty. The Yankees have plenty of good alibis. To their credit, it can be said that they have recovered from the severe shock of defeat and are praising the sterling qualities of their erstwhile foes on the field. For a hard-fought series it was fought out manfully and with little bitterness Members of the two teams are fast friends again, as they should be after a funi ilv quarrel. The players broke training last night and indulged in inild celebrations. Most of tbe Giants called at Charley Stone ham’s headquarters at the Waldorf. Some of the Yankees were around town with members of the rival club. The two Meuse] boys celebrated t ’ ‘ether.
