Full story from wikipedia. Pittsburgh (or at that time, Pittsburg) and Boston played the first (best of 9 games) World Series the next year in an arrangement between the two teams, rather than the Leagues. There wasn't one in 1904 because the NY Giants though the rules were too loose, the Leagues agreed to do it each year starting in 1905.
