MONDAY, OCTOBER 5. National Pace Narrows Down To Cubs and Giants; Three Tearns Still Fighting In American League CUBS DEFEAT PIRATES sTca CHICAGOv —Pittsburg was yester day from the National pennant race when Cbicago scored a f to 2 victory before a crowd which was declared to be the largest which ever paid to see a game of baseball in the world. Yesterday's same was the Anal one of the season for Chi cago and Pittsburg, while New YorK has three more to play, all with Hus ton If one of these games is not played, by reason of the weather or for other cause, or if Boston wins ope, the pennant will go to Chicago for the third successive year. By winning all three games, New York will exactly equal Chicago’s percent age of .641. Chicago now leads tho league with .641; Pittsburg is sec end with G3G, and New York, who did not play yesterday, is third, witli .6311. The story cl the victory is a sim ple one. Chicago garnered twelve hits off Willis, while Brown allow ed Pittsburg but seven. The con test was cleanly waged throughout. The umpires' decisions were ques tioi d only once. President -Murphy, of the Chicago club, announced the paid attendance at 30,341 Tills, Mr. Murphy said, was tlio largisl attendance over pres ent at a game of baseball in the (Ini ltd States,and, presumably, in tho worid. At the conclusion of the game, M” Murphy and Mr. Dreyfus, of the Pittsburg club, gathered with others in Mr. Murphy's office. Ml. Drey fus, whoso team had lust lost the pennant, was smiting cheerfully and proposing that in the event of a ti-- between \> v York and Chicago tit' series of throe games be played off at Pittsburg. "You are a bett r ioscr than i am,” said the Chicago presi dent. "You are the best loser in the league." "We 11 play the string out,” he continued. "However, I am by no paeans certain that. Boston won’t get one of those games.” The constitution of the National league provides that a series o i three games shall be played to d - tide a tie raca for "he pennant, but leaves the matter of where if shall be played for the board of directors to decide. The board will meet at Cincinnati tomorrow to lake action cm the game in dispute between New V'ork and Chicago and which Presi dent Pulliam has declared to bo a tie. It is said the board may set tle on a place for the deciding scries to be played in the event of New Y'ork’s winning the remaining games with Eostoi. Two hours before the ticket win dows opened, at 11 a. in., the crowd began together. By 1 o’clock flic stands which surrounded field were filled, standing room in the aisles was at a premium, and a deep fringe of spectators occupied the greens ward in left, contor and right fields. At this hour Chicago began ba ting practice. Pittsburg at 1:85 came on the field in i> body, bursting through the black banks of specta tors like a gray cloud, amid the im partial cheers of a large sSctiop of the s ' Ms. By 2 o'clock, when Pitts burg an batting practice, the crowd uot3ide the stands completely surrounded the Add, but still the densely packed streams of penplo pressed upon capti other's heels through the various entrances and spread out into the field Fifteen minutes before fhc time set for be ginning the game, the gates were closed and the crowd had so far en croached on the field that any ordi nary fly ball would have fallen saf-. When play was called, however, or der had been restored, and it wrs agreed that a hit Intc the crowd should go for only two bases. Chicago scored tn the first in ning.

There are grounds for no different action. According to the evidence to be submitted by th" National lea gue executive and chairman of the board. Hank O'Day, presiding mu pire at the game In question, de clared Merkie cut for not touching second base and ruled that the run scored by McCormick did not count, in accordance with rule 67 Fur thermore, Umpire O'Day ruled that in his opinion that it was too dark to proceed with the game alter the third cut in the ninth inning had been effected by the Cubs. • "While there is not the least vest ige of doubt that the board will con sider the disputed contest in the light of a tie, there Is some misgiv ing as to th" method it will employ in settling the difference. If New York does not win the three remain ing games front Boston, they cannot hope to figure in the ultimate stand ing belter than second. It in a most peculiar si!nation that confronts the board.

OUTCOME OF BOTH RACES - HANGS IN THE BALANCE NEW YORK—With the close of play for the season only two days away In the American League,, and thrue In the National, the outcome of the race in each league still hangs In the balnce. Never have the finishes In the two big buy ball organizations been so clone yd exciting, and never has the Interest throughout the country been at such Intense a pitch to so late a date. The contest narrowed down several weekß ago lo three clubs In the National League and four In the American. St. Louis was elimlrfptfd from the American League fight not long ago, but Detroit, lasi year's championship team Cleveland and Chicago were left to fight It out. These clubs remain contestants for the flag In the games to be played Monday and Tuesday, with Detroit still holding the advantage, an the re •ult of Its six point lead over Cleve land and nine over Chicago.

The National League battle Is all but derided Yesterday's game Iri Chicago put Pittsburg out of the final reckoning, and left Chicago assured of more than an even chance with New York for the landing of the flag, It being Impossible for New York to do more than tie the Chicago team. It would do that by winning all three games It Is scheduled to play, with Boston on Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday. Today's meeting of (lie Nh»tonal League directors which will pass tip on the protested game of September 23, may have an important bearing upon the National League result, and the decision therefore la awaited with feverish anticipation by baseball cn thur,lasts.

NEW YOU l Manager McGraw, of the Giants, when ho learned of the defeat of the Pirates by Chicago, said: “We will wind the pennant. By beat ing PiEtsburg, Chicago did its most dangerous act for New York. They killed two birds with one stone, but ihoy wore one of the birds. Will we beat the Cuba? Just wateh us! “Chtccago hasn't a chance. 1 am just as confident as life that the board of directors will band us that disputed game. It will be a crime,agalnst baseball if they do unytlrtfig else. That will decide the ponant, for wo can beat Boston every day. "Should the worst come to the worst, and the board treat us unfairly, ns the league president litis done, then we will beat Chicago in tho play ofl, whether It’s one game or three. They tried to cheat us out of a pen nant, but New York fans may rest as sured that the flag will float at the Polo grounds when 11 is all over." CRANE’S SAYINGS (By Sam Crane.) NEW YORK. Charley Murphy has the situation jus! where he expected to have il when lie protested that dis puted game between (lie Giants and Cubs, and ho doubtless is congratulat ing himself on being about the smart csl Alec baseball has produced since the game was first played. The Cubs beat the Pirates In Chi cago yesterday, 5 to 2, in the final gtpne of the season in the west, and II was the decisive contest to determ ine which of tlie two western teams was entitled to be contender wit ti the giants fur the pennant that has caused so much trouble. The Giants are not onl of the race, although their “shol-to pieces" condl Hon does not warrant the firmest of bellels that they nan beat the Bos tons three straight games In Ihe se ries that begins today ill the polo grounds. If Ihe race Is a tie next Wednes day night, doubtless Ihe Cubs will bn ordered to New York to play elf for the pennant, If the disputed game tig ures; If nut, a neutrul ground will be selected. There Is such a Ililng as llml complication arising. All interest of baseball fandom throughout ihe country loduy will bo centered on the action of the board of directors of the National League In considering Ihe proles! of Ihe New York club against President Pulliam’s decision declaring Ihe game on Hep teniber 23 a tie. Manager McGraw lold me on Hal unlay ihat President Brush felt con Aden! Ihat the final decision would Vie in the Giants' fuvor.
