A., St. Joseph’s 2 Jr, N. Y. A. C, Independent A. Independent A. C., N. H. A. A, New Roche, N. H. A, A, New New H. A. A, New N. H. A. A, Now Highlander A. Rock- Highlander A. C., A. C, A, C, New York, Oct. 4—On this bright October morning you are invited to meet the winners of the National Jeague pennant. Fans, shake hands with Brooklyn; Brooklyn, shake hand with the fans. Uncle Wilbert Robinson and his happy Dodgers won the flag yester- day when they left themselves open to prosecution by committing a seri- ous case of assault on the Glants. The Brooklyns won 9 to 6. As the Phils dropped two to Boston all traf- fic must keep close to the sidewall and let the Brooklyn champions pass. It was the Giants’ poor playing that gave Brooklyn the pennant, A crowd of about 11,000 persons saw the Robins do the trick, and, al- though many of them were from this side of the East River, no one be- grudged the fact that the Brooklyn grabbed the streamer. Goodne: knows, they deserve it. They have struggled for sixteen years for the honor and now that they have it, why not make it unanimous. In toying with the Giants yesterday Brooklyn simply held a rehearsal for the world's series. The Giants were loose and careless. The machine- like accuracy of their playing was missing. They looked like an auto- mobile which had been taken all apart and could not be put together again. At certain stages the Giants seemed on the verge of collapse and it looked as if they were in need of a pulmotor or a few tanks of oxygen. McGraw’s men, who have been cut- ting deep into all known existing rec- ords for the number of games won, were higher up in the air than a debutante at her first reception, Most of them handled the ball just as if it were a hot potato. Brooklyn didn’t hesitate about pounding McGraw's best known pitchers all over the outer terraces. The Giants’ outfielders were leg weary chasing the ball. Giants Start Vigorously, McGraw's lads started out as if they were going to snow the Brooklyns under a fury of hits and runs, and then before the game was over they closed up like a morning glory in the sun. Aside from the folks who paid their good money to see the Dodgers taks the flag, several saw the game for nothing. The surrounding housetops, trees and hillocks were jammed with Brooklyn's citizens who are putting their good money in the bank instead of giving it over to Squire Ebbets. When the world's series is played in Flatbush next week the Squire will have to invent some new kind of screens to block the view of all these loyal Brooklyn fans who are swelling the assets of the Brooklyn banks. Youwd think—wouldn't you?—that the Brooklyn folks would be more or less grateful to the indifferent Giants '\\'hon they finished second best to the Dodgers; but not so. They hooted and booed as if the Glants were trim- ming Robinson’s boys instead of giv- ing them an effective shove toward honor and glory. McGraw’s Pitchers Not in Form. Sherrod Smith pitched for the Dodgers for a while, but he wasn't quite right, so big Jeff Pfeffer went in and held the Giants at a safe dis- tance from victory. Among the Giant pitchers who took part were Rube Benton, Pol Perritt and George Smith, the Columbia youth. Field Captain Charley Herzog gave the im- pression that he was sorely disap- pointed at the Glant pitchers and he held several conferences with both Benton and Perritt. At one stage Herzog seemed so mad that it looked as if he was going In and pitch him- self. The score: r. h. e .01401111x—9 14 4 New York .301010001—6 11 2 Batteries: S. Smith, Pfeffer and Miller; Benton, Perritt, G. Smith and Rariden. Brooklyn MEEHAN BEATS BARLEALETTE. The last game of the first series in the pool tournament was played at Walsh and Hollfelder’s last night when ¢x-Councilman John F. Meehan, Jr., defeated George Barealette 100 to 59. \ GIANTS’ REBELLION DISGUSTS GRAW Quits Bench When Team Bur- lesques Against Brooklyn New York, Oct. 4—John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, cused his team of quitting in game with Brooklyn yvesterday Ebbets Field, which the Dodgers won and thereby won the National league pennant. McGraw did not intimate that the Giants laid down to the Dodg- ers purposely, their at but the inference was drawn that he did not think his team | played the kind of ball they should have when the Brooklyn club’s pen- nant chances depended so much on the result of this game. McGraw asserted after the game that his players disregarded his signals, and that while Perrit was pitching he wasted so much time in winding up that it was an easy mat- ter for the Dodgers to steal bases, and vet only three bases were stolen. McGraw was so angry at his team’s | playing that he left the bench before the game was over and did not see the finish of it. In his statement after tse game McGraw sald: “I don't say anybody did not try to win, but I don’t stand for the kind of baseball the Giants played yes- terday. They disregarded many of my signs and Perritt more than once took his windup with a man on base. Such baseball disgusted me so that I left the bench and did not see the finish of the game.” When Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn club, was asked for his opinion of the Giants’ playing and McGraw’s criticism, he said: Robinson Ra; “McGraw’s sportsmanlike. that the Dodge s McGraw. assertions He knows very well are superior to the Giants; that the Dodgers have de- feated them in a majority of games in which they met this season and that when they came over here Monday they encountered the best team in the league, and it is only natural that the best team should win again. The Giants did play bad baseball, but they were just out of a long winning streak that Boston crushed Saturday and they had not the stamina to tackle us and win. They were simply outclassed and did not have to play listlessly so that we could win. The Giants tried to win yesterday, for didn’t they score three runs in the first inning? And these might have been enough to win had not our attack swept them aside.” Tener Calls Game Sloppy. John K. Tener, President of the National league, said last night at the Waldorf-Astoria that he viewed the game in Brooklyn that aroused Mc- Graw! He said: “After the Brooklyns runs off Benton in the third the Glants played very sloppily, and it was unfortunate that it happened in the game that decided the pen- nant. No doubt McGraw has been disgusted with the playing of his team many times before, but it did not happen at such a critical time. I know nothing about the Giants dis- regarding his signals, but if they did that was a violation of club discipline and it is entirely up to him to deal scored four virtually ac- | are very un- | i of baseball on the | inning | with it as he likes. The Giants failed as did the Phillies. The Phillies were anxious to win, but played poorly and lost, and the Giants crumbled under the fast pace that made for them a new record in victories in the major leagues.” Pr Newspapers siderably s exhibition. ss Comments on Giants’ Play. in this city are con- irred up over the Giants’ They all take practically the same attitude, to the effect that with McGraw practically ignored by the players it resolved itself into a game of individuals playing against pennant winners. The comment of some of the New York papers is as “The game had all the earmarks of a natural let-down on the part of the Giants after their long | strain in winning twenty-six games. While it was poor ball, it was not a | disgraceful exhibition. There seems | to be a personal grievance between the players and McGraw, and when he withdrew from the bench it was a case of everybody for himself.” Tribune— Tt was a reckless and weird game. The Giants didn’t seem | to be trying.” I Sun—*It was not a case of the | players trying to throw the game, but | rather it was a case of making a burlesque out of a serious proposition. MecGraw at all times wants to be the ‘boss’ and give all orders, which he expects to be obeyed. The men dis- regarded his orders, ssued from the bench, and he withdrew. After that it was not a team of nine men play- ing, but nine individuals all playing according to their own individual, in- different ideas.” World—“McGraw left the bench, saying the men would not follow his instructions. He was disgusted with the loose baseball and would have nothing more to do with it. Tt is an absurdity to make the charge that as a team they dellberately laid down to Brooklyn. It was unfortunate that McGraw took his attitude, which | would scem to confirm the suspicions which were voiced by the fans.” Evening Telegram—"Nobody can stand up and claim that the Giants deliberately threw the game. It was | unfortunate that McGraw left the bench, but it seemed more likely to have been the most striking reversal record, due to a let- down after the tremendous strain under which the players have been laboring. Tt really gave the impres- sion that the Giants had simply broken their training.” WAKE AT POLO GROUNDS York and Washington Give New Thrilling Exhibition of Rounders As League Season Is Dying. New York, Oct. 4—That baseball is dying hard at the Polo Grounds was proved yesterday when the Yan- kees and the Senators battlea for eleven innings, scoring eighteen runs between them, only to tramp off the fleld at the close of hostilities with the score a tie at nine runs each. Many empty benches heard the announce- ment that a double-header would close the season today. The quality of baseball during most of the two hours and forty-five min- utes which the players spent on the fleld was so poor that the few civilians present conceived the idea that the members of Company G, Seventy-first Regiment, who occupied choice seats in the grandstand, were there in case it should be considered necessary to call out the National Guard in order to put down a rebellion. Nick Al- trock of the visiting team made an official call on the guardsmen to dis- tract their attention while his team- mates were piling up errors, and it was probably due to his influence that the militiamen failed to interfere when Umpire Nallin insisted in prelonging the agoay for two extra innings while a pale half moon was rising in silent protest, The crowd in general exhibited no such tender feelings and many merry quips enlivened the extra sessions. Nick Altrock protested in a loud voice that it was too light to play, whilo others asked the umpire to keep out of the glare of electric lights. The crowning picce of irony was the light- ing of a sheet of paper and counting it out in style, while the Yankees w un- seen balls in their elev- half of the i enth.

Piaza hotel, and in Brooklyn at the Hotel Bossert. Boston Pays $1,000 Daily Rental. Braves Field has been rented from the Boston National league club for $1,000 per day, and for the first two days the plavers of the rival clubs will have to pay 60 per cent. of this sum. The National Commission will pay 10 per cent. and the heads of the opposing clubs the remaining 30 per cent. The players will profit by this, however, for, owing to the limited capacity at Fenway Park, the Ameri- can league headquarters, they will gain probably $20,000 or $30,000 by playing at Braves Fileld where the capacity is more than 40,000. Garry Herrman of Cincinnati was in the chair when the meeting, which was originally announced for today, was called to order. Others present were Ban B. Johnson, President of the American league; John K. Tener, President of the Red Sox; Charles H. Ebbets, President of the Brooklyn club, and William F. Baker, President of the Philadelphia club. J. G. Spink of St. Louis pointed official scorer by tional Commission, and will ed by two scorers to be appointed one each by the Boston and Brooklyn Chapters of the Baseball Writers as- sociation. D. Le Roy Reeves, private secretary of President Tener, wiil be the National league’s business repre- sentative for the commission, and William Hartridge of Chicago, Ban Johnson’s secretary, will represent the American league. Chairman Herrmann announced that all the regulations relative to the world’s series jointly enacted by the National and American leagues and the detail rules adopted by the com- mission would apply to the coming games. He also warned the public against extortion and cautioned fans from paying extra prices for tickets. Mr. Herrmann asserted that the Na- tional Commission has been heartily assured of the co-operation of the authorities in the cities where the games will be held in the suppression of scalping.
