 A local newspaper, the "Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph", offered to award a silver cup to the winner of a best-of-five series between the two teams.Despite the series being held in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, which was annexed into Pittsburgh in 1907, the Superbas prevailed, 3–1.The teams were evenly matched in most statistical categories — both totaled 15 runs apiece, batted about .230 and had comparable numbers of extra-base hits (neither team hit any home runs) and walks.
