There were great demoneti atlc ns cf delight in Chicago Thursday afternoon and night when the telegraph instruments had ticked off the final of the great ball game played in New Yoik city between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Giants and It was known that the Cubs had won and that the national league pennant was to float over the west side grounds for t : e third successive season. The New York game was made necessary by a decision of the national league magnates upholding a decision by Umpire O'Day that a game played between these two teams at New York on Sept. 23rd was a tie game. Both teams were claiming it, and should it have been awarded to either term: that team would have b.en the winrei' of the old league. As the game w. s called a draw another game was necessary to settle the pennant race, and Chicago went to New York and in the face of discouraging conditions and before many thousands cf. hostile fans, won the game by the score of 4 to 2. ,And the Cubs are! •pitched on the very pinnacle of base- 1 ball tome. • q 4 They are now pitted against the Detroit Tigers, winners of the Amer- j lean league pennant, for a series cf five cr more games to decide the ( world’s champiohship.
