A gonfalon is a pennant. "Pricking one's gonfalon bubble" simply means bursting one's bubble in regard to their hopes of winning the pennant.

In this case, the poem's author (Franklin P. Adams) was a Giants fan. While hoping for a Giant's pennant berth, Tinker/Evers/Chance would ruthlessly burst his bubble by turning a Giant hit into a "double" (short for a double-play).
