CLEVELAND, Oct. B,—The world’s series Is now hitting the high spots. Both teams left New York early last feight. The national commission special, containing Ban Johnson, John Heydler, John Bruce, thr umpires and various and sundry commissionew of a lower order, made the getaway at 10:30. The New York press cars were hooked on to this train. The “show" Is booked in Cleveland for four days and may run a week if there are rain Interruptions. A wet spell has l*een forecast for Cleveland, but maybe that has nothing to do with the weather. Cincinnati went Democratic at the last world’s series and Governor Cox may declare open house for the Cleveland celebration. From all accounts there will be some -high jinks in Speaker's'town. The more games Tris wins the higher the jinks. ROBBIE JOINS IN' PLAYER FUN. The Brooklyn players were in a happy state headed West Ust night. After yesterday's game they romped around' their clubhouse like a lot of schoolboys, and good old Uncle Bobby was right In the midst of the fun. slapping his athletes about with careless abandon. A wallop from Bobby even in fun makes the strongest athlete cough and gasp for breath. “Yta” Robinson and the wives of several Brooklyn players made the trip West. Thousands of excited Brooklyn rooters gathered at Ebbets field exits

after yesterday's game in Brooklyn and cheered the Dodgers on their merry ■way. The Indiafts went away from Brooklyn with serlons faces. They have just begun to realize that they are in a-battle. The Tribe had been led to/expect rather •oft picking from the Dodgers, aside from the pitching. Instead of that they have encountered a atone wall in the last two games. In twenty-three consecutive innings the American League champions—heralded as a heavy hitting aggregation—have scored Just one run. Manager Speaker carried that over yesterday and he needed a Brooklyn error to cash It. Speaker is playing a magnificent game himself this series, but he is worried over his pitching. The Robins have now whar la known as the ‘ Jump” on Tristram and he is trying to figure out a way to tie up the series again without exhausting his visible supply of pitchers and thus having nobody to fall back on for the fifth game. It's a tough Job that Speaker has—tougher than covering all three outfield positions, pe can do that easily, but digging up pitchers is something else again. Robinson baa arrived at a atage where he can gamble a little, it is pretty certain that he will not send Gnmes back until Monday. Marquard is begggmg for a second chance at the American League champions in the first -Cleveland game Saturday. It is considered likely that Robinson may hand over tomorrow's pitching assignment to Leon Cadort. It la pretty certain to be either C adore or Wetter. It Is hardly probable that Mamnug will at-ri a game umess the Dodgers get a safe lead In the series. Mamaux is a bear for a few innings and is playing the important role of relief pitcher. It is not likely that Caldwell will figure again in the series, except probably as relief pitcher. Had “811 m” played the r„ . ta.v--.uay he might have done as well as‘ Mails. There is a vast difference between starting out with every respon-•to-uy on cue shoulders and stepping in to beip out a pitcher who has already chqcked away some rnns. The mental Lizard is important in these gpmes. a
Butler Sees Great Chance to Hang Up Victory oh Hanover Butler has a great chance to hang up Its first victory under the Page regime when the Hanover warriors come here Saturday for a battle with the Bulldogs Hanover lost to Earlham last week by a 28 to S score, while Butler held the powerful Wittenberg aggregation to a 20 to 0 count. Butler students are not a hit downhearted over last Saturday’s defeat and even seem elated over ttye showing their hopefuls made against the worthy op-pn-"jpot from Ohio. The talk around the Irvington campus now Is that VJie team is gfuiug to gu over the rest of the route without a defeat. Coach Page has gone over the faults seen in the opening oat* tie and has worked his men relentlessly this week In an effort to throw a team in the field Saturday that will give the local school Its first football victory In two years. " The men came out of the Wittenberg scrap unscathed a/Jd It is probable that with one or tw< exceptions the sffme team that faced the Ohioans will start against Hanover. Mohardt Shows Speed as Open Field Runner NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct.

Danny Coughlin showed well at half back. Barry Dooley and Castner, back field men. and H.

Pin*, on the Big Series NEW YORK. Oct. B.—Shortly after 1:30 o’clock yesterday one of the events of the world’s series occurred. At that time Ping Bodie walked up to the marble rotunda in Ebbots field and demanded the price of tickets. Informed the cardboards were available at the nominal price of $6.60 per. Ping looked at the seller, looked at ' his two friends who stood by expectantly, and said: “I wouldn't pay $6.60 to see the Yankee* in the world’s scries.” * Then Pink went off to see the movies or watch the scoreboard.

What the Managers Say ( WILBERT ROBINSON. ' “What did I tell‘you? No club In baseball could have beaten the coniffflfflT tion of pitching, fielding aud timely hitting my boys displayed Thursday. Sherry Smith breezed through just like I knew h would. He couldn t help but get stronger all the way through, feeling he could take a chance and have the boys hack of hjm. We've put way two of Speaker's three pitchers and found another one nothing to worry about. Now we’ll get Coveleskle and the series is over.” ' ** * TRIS SPEAKER. “A bad first inning told the whole tale in Thursday's game. Caldwell was oft form and the damage was done before he could be relieved. We haven't lost -hope, however, and we're far from giving np. A day off will help the pitching staff and the boys are bound to go a little better. The eerie* is *ot over—not half over. We’ll win." MAY TRY “MIXED" BOt’TS. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. —Tex Rickard, Madison Square Garden boxing promotor, is considering the advisability of arranging the first “mixed” bout to be held under the Walker law.
ANOTHER SMITH TO THE FORE
By L. R. BLANCHARD, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Oct. B.—That great but not excessively silent American majority—the Smith family—-could rejoice today. Cousin Sherry Smith of Brooklyn slipped his team into the worlds scries lead yesterday, when he left-handed Cleveland to a 2-to-l defeat. Cbusln Sherry and hte team were entitled to win. Their defense was a trifle better and their offense decidedly so. Take ragged pitching by Cleveland, mix in timely hits by Zach Wheat ana Hy Myers and season yrith one good break and the Brooklyn victory la concocted. Duster Malle bad more bad onea than a penitentiary. He sailed them up with plenty of speed, but the sailing evidently was under 'secret orders—destination unknown. With the pitchers inclined to wildness, neither side Bbowed disposition to rush
If Speaker Could Play • Closer to Pitcher He’d v Know Something Sooner CLEVELAND, Oct. B. —There waa tome talk here today of remodeling League Park to bring center field closer to the pitcher’s box *0 Manager Trls Speaker may know what Is going on in that sector when the world series games are renewed here tomorrow. I To the average fan it seems both of Cleveland’s defeats have, been because Speaker couldn’t discern that his first choice pitcher had nothing but a pained expression until the Dodgers’ tongue* were hanging out from running around the bases. Some Cleveland loyalists have It figured out this way: "If center field is moved In far enough Speaker can observe the trend of affairs without waiting to see the Brooklyn runs chalked up' on the scoreboard or buying a newspaper extra." Many fans, however, were inclined to the superstition that a Jinx now hangs over the first man Trls picks for hurling duty. Witness the fact that Jira Bagby, premier pitehor of the American' League, left everything but his wind-up on the bench whenjie started Wednesday and that when Slim Caldwell made his world series debut yesterday his sole stock in trade was a girlish gesture. Anyway, the Clevelanders were preparing to go out to the park tomorrow and see for themselves Just what kind of bird this "Uncle Robby” Is, and does he eat razz- berries. ■v — ' 1 Big League Owners Sure to Reorganize Plans of Governing National Game NEW YORK, Oct. B.—President Ileydler of the National League was asked Thursday at a meeting of all the club owners id that organisation to invite the American League club owners to a Joint meeting at Chicago Monday, Oct. 18, for the purpose of working out anew plan of government for the national game. All the clubs were represented at Thursday’s sesslmuand every club owner unqualifiedly Indotsed-the suggested plan to reorganize the government of baseball. They a iso went on record as favoring the opening of n national campaign to have state and national laws passed making It a felony to cause a baseball game to result otherwise than on its merits, and to protect the game against the influence f the gambling element.

Poor pitching beat the Saints yesterday. Merritt started on the hill for the association champs and breezed along in fine style until The fifth frame, when the Internationals ginned hitting and didn't stop until they had scored, six runs and driven a brace of pitchers to the showers, Fritz Coumbe finally stopped them. Both clubs scored twice in the first round and St. Paul came buck for another In the second. After that neither side scored until the big fifth Merritt was touched for four safeties In this period, and Williams, his successor, passed out three more. Then Coumbe came in and stopped the fun. St. Paul tried hard in the sixth and got two runners across, being checked after that. Ogden.

TECHGRIDDERS START SEASON Erehart’s Lads vs. Kirklin on Irwin Field. The first Tech football team in the history of the east side school was to trot out on Irwin field this afternoon to tackle Kirklin High, one of the strongest ‘earns In Indiana, and the majority of jigh school students In Indianapolis, ilong with hundreds of alumr.l and teachers, were expected to be on the sidelines puiling for the Green and White to put over the first Indianapolis high school win of the 1920 season. While the dope, all that could be obtained, appeared to favor Kirklin against the inexperienced local squad, that little detail was not worrying the Green and White warriors In the least. Coach Archie Erehart has a bunch of huskies under his wing who are aching to strut their stuff and if the invaders got off wt'.h the long end of the score there were to be uo alibis offered by Tech followers. Erehart started the season with what appeared to bo the cream of the high school talent In the cljy and he has worked his men hard for nearly a month. On top of this they have had a week more of practice than, the other two local schools and have /witnessed two high school games, something' that should bes great help to a green team. The “stage fright" that characterized the play of the Manual and Shortrldge teams should not be In today's battle. Everything considered U looked as though the east aiders were due to make a creditable showing In their Initial appearance on the gridiron. Erehart was expected to start the following line-up: Woolgar, left end; Hnngiile. left tackle; Sweeney, left guard; Hodges, center; Maxwell,* right guard; Watson, right tackle; Payne, right n<l; Heroes.*, quarter back; Nipper, left half: Griggs, right half, and Geiger, full back The following officials were to handle the game; Ilexe Clark, referee; Ed Davis, umpire, and Cully Thomas, head linesman.

The Series Surprise—Olson One of the most surprising features of the 1920* world's series bo far has been the strength of Brooklyn- at a position prejudged to be woefully weak—at shortstop. Ivy Olson, Instead of being a misfit, as some Judged, has played sensationally. His work has been brilliant and t*pA;tacular. The Brooklyn Infield as a whole has been a revelation, and the pitching all that was expected. Cleveland’s most glaring weakness, outside of light stlcg work, has been at shortstop, where Sewell has been making a game effort to fill the shoes of the late Ray Chapman.

FRENZY SHAKES NEW SCENE OF BASEBALL PLAY Ohio Fans Wildly Excited as ’ Teams Shift Title Series , to Forest City. (Continued From Page One.) enigma to the Robins than he was In the first game. On Sunday Jim Bagby probably will ' get Ms second chance to win a game from the National League champion. Bagby did not pitch hD best brand of ball against 'the Dodgers last Wednesday and he dm be figured to give them a battle. After shooting Covey and Bagby at Robby's boys, Speaker will have Walt Malls to fail back on and Malls figures to give Brooklyn the stiffest kind of an argument if his performance In the last game In Flatbnsh can be taken as an indication of what his style of pitching looks like to the boys on Colonel Ebbets’ • pay roll. In starting pay Caldwell against Brooklyn yesterday Manager Speaker took a long chance. If Caldwell had been able to come through with a victory the Indians would have been on easy street. As it Is they have a hard job ent Out for them and it looks now as though they will have to play some super-baseba’l. Manager Robinson has said all alofig that he expects to send Rube Marquard back nt the Indians. Since Sherrod Smith j demonstrated that a southpaw can beat them It would not be surprising should the Rube get his second chance tomorrow. However, Robby has another bet or two up his sleeve. He has yet to start Jake Pfeifer, who, like Grimes, can go the route and pitch well to the batsmen, no matter which side of the platter they swing from. Prior to the start of the th-rles a good many of the experts had It figured that the supposed superior team work of the Indians and their greater hitting strength as indicated by the .509 average they piled np this year, would stand out la-the scries.
To date this has been far from the case, for Brooklyn has fielded and slugged the tall In fine fashion. Pltchlrg,-therefore, is bonnd to be the deciding factor and much depends upon bow Robinson and Speaker handle their pitchers from now on and whether or not the hurlers who have scored victories will be able to repeat. Robby can afford to take a chance, but there's notnlng like that In Speaker’s case. If Tristram makes another losing play as he did when he sent Caldwell to; tie rubber, probably acting on a mere hunch, there will be a world's championship banner flying in Flatbush. Four games are scheduled to be played In this city and the other two games, if necessary, will be played in Brooklyn. Tbe first club to win five games wins the series.
