We won the game declares John McGraw
New York on September 23, manager McGraw defended a decision after O Day refused to count the run in the ninth and called the game a tie. He argued the winning run crossed before Bridwell reached home, and compared the situation to a prior Chicago Pittsburg case. If President Pulliam rules a tie, McGraw may require a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon.
