Part of the tim. it was so dark that L'mp O'Day had to guess whether it was a strike or a hall that the Kins was throwing. At least, from the King's actions it was known that he thought Hank was guessing at 'em and guessing wrong part of the time. However, it didn't bother him much, for he Just grinned and went along and won anyway.

YeMerday'n Reaolta. Chicago, 2; New York, 1. Philadelphia. 4; Pittsburgh, 0. Brooklyn, $, St. Louis. 4. Boston at Cincinnati Rain. Oamen Today. Philadelphia at Pittsburgh. Boston at Cincinnati. Joe Tinker's two-base drive into the mists of left field gave the proud New York Giants another jolt at the west
side park yesterday and delayed their' chance, to clinch the National league pennant. That one wallop brought victory to the Cubs, for it sent two runners over the plate Just enough to win the battle, the final count being 2 to 1. The blow was landed in the third inning, just as a drizzling rain was settling down for an afternoon of it, and the balance of the game was played in rain and darkness that several times threatened to put a stop to it. New York had rushed home one man in the first round, and only twice after that could the- haughty visitors touch second base. King Cole, slabbing for the Cubs, was Immense. When it was dark he shot his fast ball over the plate with such speed that the Giants couldn't see It. They could hear It smack in Jimmy Archer's mit after they had taken a blind swing at It. When the clouds weren't so black the King curled over a. wonderful curve ball, so he had the New Yorkers guessing all the time, and most of the time they guessed wrong.

Boston, Mass., Sept. 29. The hose of
red triumphed over the hose of white In the second set-to of the war of the hoses at the Huntington avenue ball park yesterday afternoon. Through
the masterly pitching of Buck O'Brien,
a lad from Denver, the home boys
downed the visitors from Comiskey-
ville. 6 to 3, in-a game that looked like
nothing but Boston from the opening to the final out in the ninth inning. Buck never let up in his good work and Chicago's prides struggled In vain against the western master.
St. Paul, Sept. 29. Because rain and cold weather yesterday prevented the Millers and Saints from playing either game of a double-header, Minneapolis
won the pennant in the American Association for the second successive time.
Kansas City still has six games to
play. Minneapolis now has four and
these with Kansas City. Minneapolis
has won 98 games and lost 64; Karusas City hag won 90 and lost 68.

having won 98 and lost 68. Kansas
City would show 96 won and 68 lost.
