Cubs Hammered by Seymour, Drop Game 3 to Highlanders
Riding the 3-hit performance of center fielder Cy Seymour, the New York Highlanders got a road win against the Chicago Cubs, 7-4, in Game 3 of the World Series. Seymour was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Highlanders, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.
New York used a timely hit from Howard Wakefield to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Highlanders ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.
"We lost," Chicago manager Tom Loftus said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

Harry Howell pitched a gem to help the New York Highlanders escape with a tight, 2-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in a low-scoring World Series contest. The right-handed Howell threw 9.0 innings of 5-hit ball in the win, just enough for the Highlanders on a day when their offense dried up. New York now leads the best-of-7 series 3-1.
Howell delivered a quality start for New York. The 5-foot-9 right-hander allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits over 9 innings of work.
"Things aren't going great right now," Chicago manager Tom Loftus said. "But you don't need me to tell you that."

Game 5, October 16th, 1905, West Side Grounds
New York Wins World Series Crown
Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.
It was the latter case in 1905, as the New York Highlanders topped the Chicago Cubs 6-4 tonight at West Side Grounds to win the World Series. It was the 1st title in franchise history.
"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said New York starting pitcher Harry Howell, who was named series MVP.
The Highlanders took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the AL and a 93-61 record.
New York manager John McGraw grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Howell's words.
"Harry said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.
Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
Highlanders win series 4-1

Series MVP: P Harry Howell (New York Highlanders)
