DODGERS INTRENCHED IN HOME SECTOR, AWAITING FIRST BATTLE WITH SPEAKER’S r IRIBE

All New York Excited Over Big Series Start

Every Reserved Seat Taken for Baseball Classic Opening Tomorrow. TEAMS SET FOR TEST By JACK VEIOGK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The champion Brooklyn Dodgers are entrenched in Flatbush today waiting for the Cleveland Indians to take the warpath. Uncle Wilbert's lads are all set for the opening of the seventeenth world’s series, but in order to keep in fighting trim they ambled over to Ebbet* Field for a final workout under the lYiendly shade of the newly varnished rubber plantj. The Indians will not get an opportunity to squint at the high lights or test their range finders in advance of the opening game tomorrow. Speakers Tribe Is not scheduled to leave the Forest City Until tonight and will not reach Gotham until tomorrow morning. PARK CANNOT MOLD ’EM ALL. With the first game less than fortyeight hours away. Col. Charles H. Ebbets and his corps of assistants have made everything ready for the entertainment of the Indians. Colonel Ebbets is a bit dejected. He Is grieving because Ebbets field Is not twin. The demand for reserved seats has been so great that the colonel will be forced to return thousands of dollars in perfectly good checks to the host of fans who could not be accommodated. The Brooklyn club received some three applications for every reserved seat. The weather man, who swears he is not acquainted with any of the world s aeries gamblers, announced that fair weather will be on tap for the first game. If the weather of the past fortyeight hours continues the crowd will be well wrapped up in overcoats. New York Is taking the big series seriously. Gotham fans are honestly interested in the coming engagement and the usual speculation ns to the selection of pitchers. Weather Outlook Good WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. The 1920 world's series will have fair weather, except for possible showers next Wednesday, according to the United States Weather Bureau. Fair weather and warm is promised for Brooklyn when the series opens tomorrow. There may be showers on Wednesday and cooler weather following. Fair weather is promised when the series shifts to Cleveland. for the opener was the leading topic wherever baseball fans gathered today. Manager Wilbert Robluson hasn't selected his starting pitcher as yet. He says he will not make a selection until an hour or so before game time. It has been generally expected, however, that Burleigh Grimes would get the assignment. "FOG BA EE” MAY COME IN HANDY. Grimes is Robby's ace, but Grimes is also a spit-ball pitcher and is a speed merchant. The Indians are supposed to Jove speed and therefore Grimes may not start unless the skies are overcast, in

which event his fog ball would be Just the ticket. It will not be surprising if Robinson should send Sherrod Smith or Rube Marquard to the firing line. The Cleveland batting order is top heavy with left-handed batsmen and your Uncle Wilbert is said to hnve a hunch that one of his southpaws will turn ’em back. Tris Speaker hadn’t a big string of pitchers to choose from. He must select one of two hurlers if he sends his best against the Robins, and it is practically certain that Bagby or Coveleskie will l>e chosen to pitch the opener. Speaker might spring a surprise by sending Duster Mails against the Dodgers, but this is scarcely expected. The rival teams will have to go through their warming up exercises without the sweet strains of band music to help them jazz things up. Col. Ebbets announced today that, in order tc accommodate more patrons, the Brooklyn club decided to dispense wi’h the band. So the New York end of the big series Is not going to be syncopated. SPEAKERITES HOLD FINAL CONFERENCE CLEVELAND, Oct. over their hard-earned victory In the American League peuuant race, and confident of their ability to meet the best that Uncle Wilbert Robinson can send against them and thereby uphold the baseball honors just won, Tris Speakers Indians met this morning for a last conference at League park before taking a train for New York tonight, preparatory to the opening world's series game in Brooklyn tornorrow. Manager Speaker went over the plan or attgek which will be followed in the opener- with his entire team. His plans are complete, but this morning he said he did not know who would be selected for mound duty when the big show starts tomorrow. His pitching ace, Jim Bagby, who 'scored thirty-one victories in the season just closing’ is the most likely selection, but Jim cas had only two days' rest and Coveleskie, who, with Bagby, has borne the brunt of the Indian defense, and Mails, the Indians’ star southpaw, are both ready, and either may be Speaker's choice if he thinks Bagby needs a little more rest; i Following the team conference, the champions scattered to their homes, awaiting the departure of their train tonight. Work on the new stands at League park is being rushed, and Owner J. C. Dunn is confident that all will be in readiness for the reception of the biggest crowd ever entertained when the first game of a world's series ever played in Cleveland starts Saturday.

Abe Attell’s Alibi

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—William ,T. Fallon, attorney for Abe Attell, denied today the former featherweight boxing champion liad any part in the “fixing” of the 1919 world series. According to Fallon, Attel met Hill Burns, former major league pitcher hero when Abe was "slightly under the Influence of liquor.” He said Burns told Abe he had “made a proposition” to Arnold Rothsteln, New Y'ork sporting man. to “fix” the series and that Kothstein had “abused him over the telephone.” Then, Fallon said. Burns asked Attel to use his influence with Rothsteln, and Abe liad the same experience, Rothsteln “bawling him out for making such a proposition.” Fallon said this ended Aftel’s connection with the alleged plot. CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Charges involving two major league clubs in connection with the recent expose of crooked baseball will be taken up by the Cook County grand jury when It resumes its probe here tomorrow of the “fixing” of tho 1919 world's series. The investigators will also take up the charge that the Aug. 31 game here between Philadelphia and the Cubs was “fixed.” Allegations that games between the Giants and Clnctnnnti in 1919 were crooked also will be considered. John McGraw, manager of the Giants; Benny Kauff and Fred Toney, members of the Oiants, are expected to testify regarding attempt to bribe New York players. According to a published report here today, the Sox “threw" at least three games on an eastern trip. Certain Sox may be subpoenaed to testify regarding this. The inside story of the alleged throwing of the 1919 world's series and of games during the 1920 season probably will be sought from Kay Schalk, premier vv hite Sox backstop. Schalk, it was said, was the first to notice something wrong. His signals, acc,. to re P°Hs, were crossed by Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams, Chicago pitchers, who have confessed they accepted bribes, to throw games. WELLING-TKNDLF.R GO MILWAUKEE, Oct. 4 —Joe Welling of Chicago and Lew Tendler of Philadelphia were matched Saturday by Frank Mulkern, local promoter, to meet in a tenround bout her* on Oct. 26.

IVs Up to Team’s Box Stars, Speaker Says in Prediction Tris Sees No Reason Why His Pitchers Can't Keep Going. Robbie Has It Doped NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—" Sure, we’re going to win,” Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Club, said today to the United Press. "I am not forgetting that we are going against a mighty tine club, but I think we're a little better. The boys are all In good condition and full of confidence and that’s a big part of the battle. "I’m undecided about the pitcher— It may be Marquard or Smith. It all depends.” CLEVELAND, Oet. 4.—“ We will win the world’s series if our pitchers hold out, and I see no reason why the pitching staff that has carried us through the regular season should falter in this world series,” Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, said here today. Twenty-two players will make the trip to Brooklyn. There will be seven pitchers, three catchers, six oatflelders, two first basemen and four other inflelders. Speaker will work his shift against Brooklyn in the same manner he used it so successfully during the latter part of the season. Against left handed pitching he uses Evans in left field, Uood In right field and Burns at first base. Against right handers he will use Johnton at first base, Jamieson in left field and Smith in right field. These combinations give Speaker a half dozen batters at both sides of the plate.

Alexa the Favorite as Women Golfers Open Title Tourney CLEVELAND, Oct. 4—With beautiful October weather, and one of the largest entry lists In the history of the organization, the twenty-fifth annual National Women’s goif championship got under way at the Mayfield Country Club today. Both veterans and newcomers, are numbered among the 122 entrants for the qualifying round and as but only thirtytwo can qualify for participation in the main event, the battle on the Mayfield course today was expected to be a fierce one. Competing with Miss Alexa Stirling, present champion, are three former titleholders. They are Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, winner In 1904 and 1910; Mrs. Harold N. Jackson, who won in 1914 by the narrow margin of one hole from Miss Elaine Rosenthal, and Mrs C. H. Vanderbeek of Philadelphia, who was vtetor in 1915 at Onwertsla. Miss Mildred Caverly is counted upon to make a strong stand, bur Miss Stirling is the present favorite for first honors. .—~ ' The Season’s Wind-up FIRST GAME. Indians. AB. R. H. O, A.

INDIANS SPLIT TWIN CARD AS CURTAIN FALLS Whitehouse Closes Season With Victory Following Defeat of Rogge. TRIBE EVEN ON GAMES j The Indians won the last game even if it was a short one. ' Staging a double-header as the season’s wind-up card at Washington Park yesterday the Tribesmen suffered a shutout defeat In the opening battle at the hands of the K. C. Blues, but they managed to do a comeback in the second fray :by winning it, 3 to 2, in five innings and thereby closed tho long schedule with a victory. Charlie Whitehouse, Indianapolis’s own southpaw star, hurled the winner as a farewell before leaving the American Association for the New York Giants. Walter Uenline, the other end of Indianapolis’s “New York battery,” was behind the plate and local fans are hoping that the two favorites will start their big league careers next season Just as they finished their Class AA days—with a ; victory. j Clint Rogge was outpitched by -a I youngster in the first game of the afternoon and the Blues copped, 4 to 0. Lamj bert, a youthful product of the Spokane ' Pacific International League club, was in i grand form and 'he put the Tribesmen I down with six hits. Ralph Shinners starred with a one-hand catch in the Qrst inning of the wind-up I game that was a spectacular affair. He J raced in nt full speed and speared Connelley's drive at his shoetops and that I catch Just about saved the Hoosiers In j that game. Shinners also pulled some ; rapid-fire base-running in the first inning ana tne rans certainly will be anxious to see this young fellow start as (Continued on Page Ten.)

FOOTBALL YEARL STARTED WITHI FINE OUTLOM Local and State Fans See JNg tion A-Plenty in Fought Games. . The 1920 Indiana football seasonal / ushered up to the orchestra the sport show Saturday afternoon winß great pomp, two games in and six State battles being used as the means of admittance. The conteets played in Indianapolis were between Butler and Wittenberg colleges auu the Shortridge and B'oomfleid high school elevens on Irwin field, Indianapolis getting the worst end .of the deal on both occasions. There was no big feature to the high school game, Shortridge being outclassed and defeated, 20 to 9. simply for the lack of experience.
