...equally admirable, he said, was it that Britain, another great and ancient nation, even grander and far more benign in her twilight than Imperial Rome before her, had at length bowed before that moral force in a moral beauty as unprecedented and still more graceful.

What they saw set some kind of a record, too; for bad pitching, and for edgy, spectacular play. It was the longest nine-inning game (3 hrs. 19 min.) in Series history; the Yankees used more players (21) and both sides more pitchers (ten) than ever before.
