CLEVELAND. Ohio. Oct. 13.—World’s
Champions!
Not a thins else was on Cleveland's
mind today.
From the youngest fans, who played
tiookey from school to show oil auto
graphed balls to the veteran bleacherites,
who had been awaiting the day for forty
two years, all this lake city paid tribute
to Tris Speaker and his champion In
dians today.
It is all over. The Indians brought the
second championship flag in as many
years to Ohio.
The end came yesterday as dramatical
ly as It had been sensational throughout,
i When the last game was completed
it’.OJO fans swarmed on the field and re
fused to leave until their breath hau
been exhausted by loud yells and fruit
less chase to get near their idols.
? Tris Speaker sprinted through the
throng, vaulted over a front box and
took his mother In his arms. She cried
fcnd the eyes of her noted son were not
dry.
Stanley Coveleskie, hero of a series.
If there ever was one, blushed like a
” school girl and stood In the midst of
another gathering, helpless to move until
. .the blue coats came after him.
* As in the other games, the victory of
‘ the Indians can be described fully In a
nutshell —Coveleskie and a punch In the
stick.
. It was his third victory of the series
end it gave him what perhaps may be a

Indians hack to the Hast for the last

Th.- Indians fought harder to win the
deciding "ami; and end the classic in
front of the fans who have supported
them s<> faithfully.
Everything on the baseball books but a
balk was recorded during the seven
games. Bad baseball was mixed with the
good, but it was only a pinch in the uilx
vture.
£ Displaying its tendency of going
astrav, the "dope” was wrong, not be
cause the Indians won, tor they were
♦favorites from the start, but because of
tile manner in which it was won.
:* All the dope against the Ind an* was,
'based on a b.g p.tcittiig st :II ((gainst a
'small staff. Brooklyn had -even good!

Cleveland had good hitters, but their
uverag.s were made on inferior American'

cr-tics have seid. could have made even
better use of that small staff. Some of
the "wise ones” assert the Indians should

Dodgers Overwhelmingly Out

NOT OF SERIES CALIBER
By SID MERCER.
International News Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—The better
team won the world's championship of
1020.
It is seldom that the experts agree on
what the losing team might have ac
complished with better breaks In the
luck, but the critics unanimously unite
In a declaration that Brooklyn Dodgers
could not have won under anv circum
stances. They were up against the class
and it turned the scales after the third
game.
The weaknesses of the Brooklyn team
were never bared so shamelessly to the
world In the National League as when
the Cleveland team exposed them in the
world's series.
Man for man, position for position, the
Dodgers did not measure up to their ad
versaries, with the possible exception of
Ivy Olson, who outshone Joe Sewell
They depended upon the quantity of
their good pitchers. Cleveland won
with quality.
on b one man mil pitch at a time, and
the Indians had a man who could ktll
oil a couple of the- Brooklyn boxincri
any time he started.
Stanley Coveleskie now takes his stand
wnh Ma the "son, Auams, Dlneen, Coombs,
Faber and Wood, pitchers who wrenched
oft three victories in previous world's
championships. He is really one of five
immortals, for Wood and Faber were not
started three times, but merely finished
their third games.
One has to go back to Matty's per
formance of 1908, against the Aathletlrs
to find a parallel to Coveleskie os a shut
out performer. Matty blanked the Mack
men three times and Coreleskle practical
ly did the same to the Dodgers. They
scored one run In Brooklyn and one run
last Saturday, but on both occasions
Co'eleskle had the game well In hand.
Two runs in twenty-seven Innings Is
not light batting—it’s good pitching.
There are no’ dissenters from the opin
ion that the Indians are a much su
perior team to the Brooklyn* a t the way i
through. When a team scores only two ,
runs in the last thirty-two Innings of,
a world's series, w hen It Is outbatted '
and all its best pitchers sent to the Junk 1
pile, there Is no other answer.
The one spot In which the National
League champions excelled was in‘the
fielding. Sewell alone made enough
errors to prevent Cleveland leading In
defense, but, even at that, Cleveland
errors were unt of the fatal brand, while
Brooklyn bobbles were costly. One gavo
Cleveland the winning run yesterday.
The Dodgers have no alibi to oiler.

Man-o’-War Takes Swig
From ss t ooo Cup While
Considering Movie Bids
WINDSOR, Ont., Oct. 13.—Man-o'-
War, champion of all champions, and
Sir Barton, whom ho defeated here
yesterday, will leave soon for their
home stables. It was said here today.
Man-o'-War will go via special car to
Laurel, Md., and Hlr Barton to Mon
treal.
Reports that Man-o’-War would be
put Into the movies could not be
verified early todav. It was reported
that his owner, Samuel Utddle of
Philadelphia would elgn contracts to
that effect.
Man-o'-War’s winnings In pnrses
and stakes alone have totaled $200,600,
a world’s record, and a contract for
the movies would make many a movie
star envious. Reported plan* to also
put Blr Barton in the movies today
were thought to have been dispensed
with by Ills defeat yesterday.
With hi* evening meal of California
hay and especially picked oats yes
terday, Man o’ War drank from the
$3,000 gold cup which he won in the
race. 111, was the first drink from
the cup.
Man-o’-Wnr defeated his rival by
nearly eight length" over the mile and
a quarter distance. The time was
2:03, more than a fnll second faster
than the old Canadian record for the
° Samuel D. Riddle of Philadelphia,
owner of the victor, Is the richer by
the purse of $75,000 and the gold cup
valued at $3,000. A $2 ticket on the
winner paid $2.10.
Between 29,000 and 30.000 person*
paid to see the two great horses race,
the attendance figures and gate re
ceipts setting anew high mark in
the history of amidlan racing.
The time, 2:03 fiat, was more than
a second slower than the record of
both horses. Sir Barton has a nuirk
of 2 014-5, which was later tied by
Man-o’-Wir. The slow time was
partly dne to the fact that the victor
was never In danger from the time he
took the lead at the first sixteenth
pole.

Georges Earns Right
to Dempsey Chance,
. but He Lacks Skill
Carpentier Proves Punching
Powers, but Otherwise His
Boxing Style Is Criticised.
NEW YORK, Oct 13.—Georges Car
penter's victory over Battling Levlnsky
entitles him to a match with Jack Demp
sey for the world’s heavyweight cham
pionship, but it also gave proof that the
French champion will get the drubbing
of his life when he faces the American
heavy, in the opinion of rlngslders who
last night witnessed the sorry defeat of
Levlnsky, vt-hen the Battler was knocked
out in the fourth round of a scheduled
twelve-round encounter.
Levlnsky was not the Levlnsky of
old. The' slinging left Jab. with which
he has held some great fighters at bay,
was useless against Carpentier, because
it was not used. The American's right
hand may as well have been left at home.
Carpentier hit Levlnsky practically at
will.
AMERICAN IS
FAT AND SLOW.
Levinsky was fat and slow and ap
peared overly cautions when be first faded
bis foe. One smash on the chin In the
second round apparently took what fight
he had right out of him, and it was
only a question of time when the French
man woUid oring him down.
The Frenchman can punch. There is
no doubt of that, but his vaunted box
ing skill was not In evidence against
Levlnsky. His Judgment of distance was
poor and his footwork at times clumsy.
If he is fast he had it well covered up.
Carpentier’* weight was reported from
the ring as 170*4, but he looks bigger.
If he is matched with Dempsey he
probably will enter the ring at ISO as
against 190 for the world’s champion.
The International Sporting Club Is
known to be bidding for the Dempsey-
Carpentler match and is planning to
stage it In a huge armory in Bronx
County. Tex Rickard also probably wilt
make a bid.
Carpentier won his first American fight
as a battler, not as a boxer. He con
stantly attempted to draw Levlnsky into
attacking by dropping his arms, but the
cautious American was content to let

Scene Shifts to Home of
Struggling Saints.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 13—The St Paul
champions of the American Association
today took their stand in the last line of
detenso against tne Baltimore Interna
j tional loop titieholders in the junior
i world’s series.
I The Saints must take four out of five
' games to trounce the Easterners. They
l are confident that they can do this work
on their home lot, but from the wav they
stacked up at Baltimore last week things
look rather doubtful.
Today s contest was to be the first of
c-nmes carder, at St. Paul. The
series count stood 3 to 1.
-s-r.uy Hall, twice defeated by the
Orioles, wag to be the St. Paul pitching

two victories In the present series to his
credit, was to oppose the veteran.
The two teams will play again Friday,
Saturday and Sunday If necessary.
Georges do all the leading. Levlnsky
hit the canvass three times.
GEORGES NEVER
WAITS ATTACK.
j Levlnsky’s blows were delivered while
I In retreat and Uie Frenchman disregarded
i them. lie tore In at full speed, nailing
i wildly with both hands.
In the fourth round Carpentier drove
Levinsky to the ropes, battering at the
upraised arms protecting the American'*
face. Finally Carpentier drove a straight
right through with the full power of his
| body behind the glove. Levlnsky slumped
■ down In a corner.
In the preliminaries Kewple Colander,
Minneapolis, and Babe Asher, St. Louis,
boxed a six-round draw. Ted (Kid)
Lewis, British welterweight champion,
easily won from Marcel Thomas, French
champion.
