CLEVELAND WINS FIFTH WORLD'S SERIES GAME

Cleveland took the fifth game of the world’s series from Brooklyn at Cleveland Sunday, nicking the offerings of Burleigh Grimes, Brooklyn ace, for twelve solid smacks, including two homers, one by Smith with the bases choked, and the other by Bagby, Cleveland pitcher, with two on. Brooklyn made thirteen bits but was unable to bunch them effectively. Willie Wambsganss, Cleveland second baseman, turned a tnck equalled but once before in major league base ball when he completed a triple play unassisted. Kilduff and Miller had singled in succession when Mitchell, who had relieved Grimes, smashed a liner high and to the left of Wambsganss. Wamby leaped into the air, snatched the ball and ran to second before Kilduff could return to the bag and then tagged Miller who was charging for second. It was a brilliant performance and no better setting could have been given the play than to have it occur in a world’s series gamfe. ■ The series after the Sunday game stood three to two in favor of Cleveland. The teams met at Cleveland again this Monday afternoon.
