Cleveland Banks on Coveleskie,
Already Double Winner,
to Clinch World's Title
Former Brooklyn Pitcher Shuts
Out Old Mates With Three Hits
Mails Gets 'Revenge on Squire Ebbet** by Winning
(losest Game of Series; Inability of the Dodg?
ers to Seore Again Proves Their Undoing
By Grantland Rice
CLEVELAND, Ort. 11.?The authentic statistics in the case sooth
to be that unless the disappearing Dodgers can trim Stanley Coveleskie
ia the seventh game, tho scries will conclude abruptly around 3:46 o'clock
tof-morrow afternoon. When "Duster" Mails upset Sherrod Smith in to?
day's battle by the acore of. 1 to 0, the big Cleveland southpaw crowded
Brooklyn out on the end of a dead limb that is now cracking in two spots.
Tho eminent side-wheelers were'
1 -eked together like a pair of grizzlies,
Sfails, holding Brooklyn to three
'labby hits, deserved to ?win. Smith
t back gamely in front of fancy
; mport, but the lights blew ont ir? tho
E xth when Speaker singled with two
?.roue and Hums drove the brilliant
Texan over with a long doube to left.
it was at prec sely thia moment that
Brooklyn':! chance to win the series
began to assume a motheaten aspect.
With Mails stopping each Dodger in
! is tracks there was nothing else to it;
un.i the victorious uproar that came
from.the liig crowd was to all intents
p.nd purposes a championship ptean, the
exultant howl of the tribe denoting the
big kill.
Offensive Lacks Power
The Dodgers dropped their third
battle in a row upon Cleveland soil for
the,same old reason?inability to score,
in their three Cleveland games they
have contributed exactly two tallies to
the cause of Brooklyn humanity.
Coveleskie held them to one run on
Saturday, and whi'.u they tapped Jim
Bagby for fourteen hits yesterday the
best they could do irom this salvo of
?watfe was another gaunt tally. In
their third effort they fell to three hits
and nothing like a run. So with Cove?
leskie and his Polish spitter waiting in
the offing to-morrow you can figure for
yourself just what the outlook is.
The. story it simple enough. The
Dodger attack has gone to seed. Their
liatting has been entirely too light and
'heir base running has been a joke.
They never have been able to start a
concentrated drive and keep it going
for even an inning. In the six gurnea
played they have scored but eight runs,
hardly more than a run to a battle.
Their defensive play has been excep?
tionally good, with both Kildur? and
Olson starring and with the entire out?
field on the job, but you don't collect
runs through any fancy fielding.
Sherrod Smith fell heir to a hope-less
enterprise in his second start, If he
had shut out the Indians for a dozen
innings the best lie would have drawn
was a tie. He never had a chance to
win with Mails breaking up the Brook?
lyn attack as if it was made of dry
Once in a while Mails gave in?
dications of impending wildness, but
the Dodg( r refused to wait him out.
Dodgers Miss Chance
tn ti.e fourth, 7'or one notable ex?
ample, Myers singled with one out and
walked o>, Vour pitched balls.
Here, i? at all, was the spot for Mails
to blow. But Kilduff, in his eagerness
'o start something, couldn't wait. He
went after two bRd balls well away
from the plate, and the Cleveland south
paw then had time to got his bearings
and settle down.
From that point on the big left
hander who saved Cleveland's fading
pennant hopes, with six straight vic?
tories, was unbeatable. In the last
five innings ho allowed but one hit,
g 1?.i-? speed, curves and control
into ;i death potion for Brooklyn's
championship desi re.
Outside of Mails the big factor in
C!? veland's success was the great work
of George Burns. The first baseman
not only scored Speaker with n win?
ning double, but his play around the
bag was jam up all through the after
no ??n.
Sherrod Smith spent most of the
afternoon in a peevish humor. Through,
inning after inning he complained bit
terly of fclmpire Connolly's judgment
on balls and strikes, and on still an?
other occasion he hurled his bat back
to tho dugout after Connolly had
called him out. But this apparently
didn't aflTert his pitching, which ordi?
narily would have, been sound enough
to win. Tho greatest pitcher in the
world can't win without, runs.
Crowds Storm Park
One of tho greatest crowds of the
series stormed the ball park again,
and after every square inch of space
had been filled with human flesh thou?
sands still stood in. line outside in the
vain hopo of easing in. Through the
hazy Judian summer afternoon you
could see hundreds perched upon the
tops uf nearby roof? or clinging to the
swaying limbs of Ohio maples. The
slogan here had been "four straight at
home and every fan in tho commu?
nity wanted to see tho third reel prop?
erly completed.
As a result of her light hitting and
lighter scoring, Brooklyn's case to-night
is desperate. Cleveland needs but one
more game and Coveleskie is ready,
after a two day's rest, to pick up where
he left off on Saturday. Brooklyn.
on the other hand, must win three ir.
a row by beating Coveleskie, Bagbj
and Mails, the trio who have held het
to a brace of underfed runs in the
three games here.
In the meanwhile Mail's revenge is
complete. In 1917 the Dodgers casi
him aside as ono unworthy of then
select pitching society. Back in Brook?
lyn last week, after Ray Caldwell had
been hammered out. Mails held th<
Dodgers scoreless for seven innings
MarquartTs Share
Held Tp by League
Cleveland, Oct. n.?Richard
4 (Rube) Marqnard, Brooklyn
pitcher, will not receive his share
of the world's series gate receipts
?until after the ticket scalping
charges made against him here have
been settled, John Heydler. presi?
dent of the National league, an?
nounced after to-day's game. Mar
quard was arraigned in court this
morning and his case continued un?
til October 13.
"The National League will hold
his share of the receipts until the
case has been settled," said Heyd?
ler. "If he is found guilty the league
itself will take action."
Asked what action the league
might take, Heydler wild it would
"he plenty stiff enough to make Mr.
Marquard wish he'd never seen a
world's serie? ticket."
To-day he added nine more. For six?
teen innings he has held his old matos
dangling at the end of a wire, working
them like mannikins made of wood'.
It's the old story of the cast-off re?
turning to bite the .hand that refused
to feed him. Baseball is fairly littered
with such examples, but few revenges
have been more complet..- than thai
of Mails. If he had slipped only a
trifle to-day Brooklyn would have tied
the serie.? up, with an even eh-an?e to
win. But he refused to break in the
toughest pitching assignment of the
entire series. He gave a gaudy exhib?
ition of coolness and skill and the
Dodgers helped him out by refusing to
\va i i.
Malls Ignores Errors
Brooklyn's defensive play wa? sounder
than Cleveland's, as the Dodgers played
errorless ball against threu misplays
for the almost-champions. Sewell
slipped twice and Gardner contributed
another bobble, but all this failed to
bother Mails. Even after Sewell ai d
Gardner had helped lili the base ? on
errors in the second inning Mails showed
no disposition to take on a nervous
flutter. He merely kept on pitching
airtight ball as if nothing of an un?
toward nature had happened.
The sixth was the only inning where
Cleveland could bunch two blows off
Smith, but those two were enough, a
Buros's double came near landing in
the left field seats. It was a terrific
smash beyond all reach. Speaker him?
self couldn't have broken it down?
and that is the ultimate answer in the
case.
By winning these three games ai
home the Indians have the 'own in s
frenzy of fanatical joy. For the first
time in history the big banner of the
game, is about to flutter above the
Buckeye metropolis, and on this occa
eion no set of crooks has figured ir
the outcome.
Cleveland has taken her big lead b;
a far stronger and a far more aler
attack?by hitting even better pitching
at the right time. And most of this
has corne 'upon her hoirie grounds, when
sho expects to settle the world's serie;
championship no later than to-morrow
afternoons, when Stanley Coveleski?
steps out against Rube Marquard o
Burleigh Grimes as the final Brook
lyn hope. And if the crafty Pol?
comes through with his third victory
he will be iiande.d the town, to shar
it. jointly with Tris Speaker, who al
ready owns a controlling share.
Cast-Off s Who Achieved Victory Over Dodgers
( lleveland Fans
Reward Indian ?
For Fine Plavin??
CLEVELAND, Oct. 11- Just before
to-day's game Mayor Fitzgerald, acting
for local fans, presented Elmer Smith
and Bill Wambsgahss with diamond- \
studded medals for their ?treat work
yesterday. Wambsganss made an un
assisted? triple play and Smith hit a
homer with the bases full.
More baseball scandal developed to?
day. When Les Nunamaker, utility
catcher with Cleveland, went to bed
last night ho found a roll of bills
under his pillow. He reported the
matter to President Johnson of the
American League, who immediately
seized the roll for evidence.
How much was in the roll?
sixteen Confederate dollar bills!
Tris Speaker is the only player now
in the game who witnessed ?he two
unassisted triple plays made, in the
big leagues. Speaker was with Boston
when Xeale Ball made his play here
in 1909, and was in centcrfield yester?
day. "Cy" Young, who pitched for ;
Boston ngainst Cleveland when Bail
put out three men Unassisted, was in
the stands yesterday.
The Cleveland player.? bought Jim
Dunn, owner of the club, a pair of dia- ;
rnond-studded cuff links and Speaker a
gold watch.
Newton D. Baker, Secretary' of War
and forme;' Mayor of Cleveland, oc
cupied a box in the upper stands with :
a party of friends. !!?? was rooting
for the Indians.
After the thrilling game yesterday
tickets for lo-day's contest were in
greater demand than ever. Scalpers
had no trouble getting $50 for a $6.60
seat.
Miller, the Brooklyn catcher, twice
outguessed Cleveland. In the first in?
ning, with Evans on first, he called
for a pitch out and easily caught the
Cleveland outfielder trying to steal.
In the fifth, with Sewell on first, ? leve
land tried the hit and run, bul Miller
again called for a wide ball. O'Neill
threw his bat al it, but missed, and
Sewell was easily trapped at second,
Two men were trapped off first in
the game. In the sixth O'Neill caught
N'ois with a lightning throw to Burns.
Evans was caught napping in the
eighth by Smith.
Leading Elevens Justify Use
Of the Direct Passing System
Pittsburgh and Penn State
Among Big Teams Adopt?
ing New Method of Play
By Ray McCarthy
Ko phase of football probably is more
under discussion among coaches and
followers at the present time than the
direct passing system. Many argue it
is the only game. There are just as
many equally certain the full use of the
quarterback is the better game. Our
own preference is for the direct pass,
our main contention being that it
speeds up the attack.

Princeton, Dartmouth, Army. Boston
College, Lehigh, Rutgers. The teams of
the first named rely almost exclusively
on the direct passing system :.:: making
their rains. Those in the second con?
tinue to use the quarterback, much a*
they dul in the good old days.
To our way of thinking the first
group has the edge on the second, which,
of course, ?nay or may not be due to
the use of the direct pass, Bui at any
rate such seems to be the case. And
what is more, we think games between
elevens of the first group arc generally
more spectacular and swifter than
those played bei ween teams of the sec?
ond division. But, of course, this is all
a matter of opinion and circumstance.
In brief here an- the arguments pro
and con. Direct passing game speeds
up attack, enables backs to form in?
terference more quickly, adds one more
player to interference, enables offense
to get more drive into line plunges;
against, fumble of direct puss ma>
mean touchdown for defense; cannot
conceal plays as well, restricts variety
of plays, docs not slow up attack
Draw your own conclusions.
We think "Hack" O'Neill, Columbia
coach, lias the right ?d?ea in defending
the goal posts on a kick from touch?
down. Saturday the Blue and Whit?
mentor used Johnson, his center, us th<
Jene defender. Said it was useless tc
employ more.
"Why should I drape my players or
the goal posts for the purpose of block
ing such kick when none of them an
ever blocked." he said. "They migh
better be resting for further play."
"Bunk" Harris, Columbia quarter
back, who, by the way, runs with th<
ball much like Davies of Pitt, is 1
nifty basketball player, we are told
and is expected to shine on the cour
this winter. Heisman is making gooi
use of Billy Craves, Penn star basket

a strong bid for a line position.

Myers lifted an easy one to "Smoky
Joe" Wood. Konetchy drove a clean
;le to right and then the Cleveland
Inti? hi started to kick up.
Peterkin .Kilduff rapped an easy one
down to Sewell, the University of Ala
bam;, alumnus, and Sewell kicked it
cross the green. Miller rapped one
of the samo brand to Lurry Gardner
and 1 arry pawed nt it until the ?l?w
moving Dodger backstop readied first.
Tins packed the bases and gave Ser
gennl : herrod Smith a chance to help

I one into short center which is
aci to lifi a pill when Tris

ner to third. Sewell hit one to Kil?
duff, ? ? ? ) passed to the plate, and Otto
sitting peacefully on the path,
hi? red Gardner at the plate. O'Neill
tried to knock Peterkin into the stands
with ? savage drive, but the stocky
son of the Omaha stockyards smoth?
ered the ball and touched second for

Secretary Baker in Box
The multitude started to settle in
seats for one o'f those, somber things
call ?'pitch'ors' duel, for nothing
of mom? nt happened in the third in
ing. It looked as though .the two
left-handers were about set to keep
th? m there until dusk.
With one out in the fourth, Myers
iid to right and the "Duster"
:?.. .-,i Konetchy, the big Bohemian.
But Kilduff hoisted to Wood and Otto
Miller lifted one to Evans. Secretary
?' War Newton G. Baker, in a stra?
tegic position in an upstairs box,
looked a trifle bored. The thing be?
gan to remind him of the Democratic
campaign- no pep. And nobody go?
ing anywhere. In the Indian half
three in a row floated out peacefully.
In the fifth, Sherrod Smith inter?
rupted the calm by squawking raucous?
ly when Tommy Connolly called a
third strike on him. The Sergeant
lost the argument, if there was any.
Olsen gave Speaker :. short exercise
gallop to nail a fly and Sewell, after
juggling the pill nervously, threw out
3hi ehan.
Indian Drive Ended Quickly
The local bugs started to clamor for
something to happen, when the In
I dians carne to bat, and something al?
most did. Young Joseph Sewell singled
i to center. The Indians tried the hit and
run play. Smith had a hunch and made a
p tel "'.:'.. Miller made a throw to Ol?
son and Sewell was nailed at second,
Thai Hopped anything even remotely
resembling a drive in tnat inning.
There was some despondency in evi?
dence in the sixth, when Bernie Neis
was given a 'ease on bails. Neis moved
just a little too far from the bag and
i Was nailed by a snappy throw by Steve
ill. Sewell reached in the air for
;a bounding drive by Wheat and caught
the Dodger captain with a fine throw
;?. first. The local bugs roared in re
1 lief.
The crash came ?n the Indian half

Speaker slashed f>. single into left field.

T e local inmates rose on their hind
legs and roared. That looked like the

"Duster" could hold out, and it looked
?ugh the "Duster" would hold oui
;':>''':?nit? :.. mless some fiend in human
form punctured his widely expanded
chest with a pin. In that case the
"Buster" might have blown with a

Secretary of War Baker yawned
aga '?? t irougli the ? coi d pel od. The
pitchers' duel was on again. It was
ho'n ibly monotonou and horribly like
the, Democratic campaign again. There
was some coi sternation among the in?
habitants of Cleveland when Ivan 01
sou, tlu- hitting Dmiger of this series,
; drove a two bagger along the left field
line with one out. But the consterna?
tion did not last long, .lack Sheehan
1 ? ted an easy one to Carry Gardner,
Uncle Wilbert ftobinson waved tc
Heinie Krueger to bat for Neis. Heinle
I fouled off one, then he rolled an easj
; grounder down to Gardner. Olson was
coming toward third and Gardner hac
only to reach out and tag hint to enc
i the suspense of the inmates.
Wheat Spoils Home Run
Evans got a single, with one out, ii
j tho Cleveland sectii^n of the eighth
but was caught off tho bag bj^a quid
pass by Sherrod Smith. It looked foi
; a moment as though Wambsganss, au
thor of the triple play unassisted
I might get a home run into the lef
? center section of the multitude, bu
; Wheat made a running catch am
: spread the pill with his back ?gains

Vlyers was spectacular in the ninth
; bul it meant nothing in this, series
With one out he rapped one to Sewell
ami as the Cleveland rookie juggle?
the ball for an instant he dived acros
the bug just a whisker ahead of th
throw and plowed through the gras
safe. Konetchy forced him at secom
and McCabe was sent in to run.
Kilduff dug his toes into the dir
and tried to drive onn ir.to the steerag
engers in left, but, it was just
foot or so ; ort, Evans got, under i
and the game was th.rough. So, i
.-??!, were the Dodgers, so far a
the presen-1 series is concerned.

Record of Pitched
Balls Gives Mails
An Edge on Smith
CLEVELAND, Oct. 11.?Analysis of
the pitching records in to-day's game
shows that Mails and Smith were
working on the batters in much the
same fashion. The Cleveland bur
ler's superiority lay entirely in the
fact that he allowed fewer hits and
scattered them better than his op?
ponent.
Mails threw the ball to the batters
91? times, while Smith's efforts totaled
103 in eight innings. The local lad
shut over 28 strikes, lii foul strikes,
33 called balls, 2 fouls; forced 13
men to go out on flies and 12 on
grounders. He allowed threo hits in
as many inning--.
Smith twirled 27 strikes. '? foul
8trikes, 40 called balls. ;1 fouls, retired
9 batters on flies and 11 on rollers.
He allowed seven hit-:, however, bu
only in the fifth ?'hen Speakej

than one safo blow to an inning.
