At the opening ol u.s w :ld series last WfdnpsHnv. John Jose.vh McGraw, sometimes, call ed "Little Nanoleon." said th Huh with the "most consistent fighters win the most ball games." His state ment has been vindicated, confirmed and sealed. His Giants, picked by the most con servative experts to have nothing more than a faint, chance of winning one game, battied through the super play with the Yankees, won four games, tied one, lost none and are still world champions. Jb rom every approach .that could be made on paper before the first game was played the Giants were con sidered a beaten, badly beaten Hub. The experts said that the Giants had but one good pifceher, that the Yan kees had several good hurlers and that pitching had won every world series. The score of yesterday's game that decided the series for the .Nationals was 5 to 3, but that was only an inci dent. Exactly how it was done, is a matter of detail. The Giants won that game and the world series. Of course the Giants have ability. The Giants are giants. It was courage and skill that en abled George Kelly to straighten out a Joe Bush fork ball in the eighth j -inning yesterday when the Giants were one run behind. He had just been belittled-ly Miller Huggins, Yankee manager, who -had ordered Bush... to?., pass "Pep" Young to get a chance at the "easy mark." The play was theMima .
