PRACTICALLY UIM WIRE BV JACK VEltKK II. . S Sporting Editor.) ."KW YORK. Oct. 2. Tris Speakor'3 n.,iy C!?v land Indians are almost us hoik! is under the wire today witil tue American league pennant. Onr i.ure victmv for the Indians or A defeat for the White Six will settle race in Cleveland's favor. Truro i i remote chance of a tie, but In sirh an event the patched up Chlca5 t(am cnuM not hope to cope with tiaIndians in a play-off for the champion b O ' P . It is practically certain, therefor.,; , ti.;it the Indians will face the Pro dtyn Dodgers In the initial game of tlie t orld'a series at Ebbets field next Tuesday afternoon. The series will mark the first tlm l.i i he history of modern baseball that h Cleveland team has contended for !h.; coveted title and despite the -andal new under investigation at Chicago the struggle promises to attract genuine Interest throughout tue country as usual. The Cleveland Indians are net tli? 1 :st team that ever represented th junior major leagrue In the world's Friies. but from this anple they look l.ke the next world's champions. They are one of the most aggrres.ive t roups of players ever gotten together. 1 hey hristle with fighting spirit. On defense the Cleveland club Is a si'.i-fth working, flashy fielding inaciiin; a team that exemplifies the valt . of concerted effcrt. On offense it is a u-a'.i with a powerful punch, backed 'i? !y plenty of baseball brains. J-i the Dodgers Cleveland will meet a ciub that boasts one of the best pitching staffs in either major league: n team with plenty of morale that can and will fight for every game. Like Fpeaker. Manager Wilbert Kobinson. 1? the "pal" of his players. Fleams cf speculative "dope" might b written comparing individual players, but the fact remains that one of the rival teams is going to win 'he series because it has the stron.?-r punch. Incidentally this team will f ;?o get the best cf the so-called "breaks'' because of its super. or punching power. The writer believes Cleveland has the superior punch. Speaker's team hasn't the pitching' strength of the P'gers but It has two wonderful roundsmen In Jim Bagsby and Stan Civeleskl and the team batting avertt z- of .300 It has amassed this season speaks volumes. In aggressiveness and all around t'nrn work Cleveland has more snv.i tb"n the National league champions enl with careful handling of his pitchers Manager Speaker should be able t hold his own against Brooklyn's "yuBj army" of siabtnen. P'jrleigh Grimes. Sherod Smith. Tfcffer, Mama-ax, Cader and Marquard pre Brooklyn's bulwarks of defense fgslnst the Cleveland attack. Grimes I Hobby's ace. The others are .ill p'tchers of sterling qualities but Crimes can be compared with Batrby rrd Coveleskl. Aside from Grimes tbe podgers outrank the Indians In but . ne other particular and that is In the i-ield. The Dodgers inner cordon tf ief.nse is better balanced and aoza:- . hat more consistent in all around play. The loss of Pay Chapman w.is severe blow to Cleveland and though Trooklyn has generously permittt'd f"we!i to play, the Indiana will gain !.u little as he Is a weak hitter. The Brooklyn cutfleld. though It beasts ..of Wheat ar.d Myers, ts ni ri-re powerful than the Indian tornbnatlon. buflt around Trls Speaker, t'.ie last word In fielding excellence.

IPIIRI IP. MAV 1 uuuu mm TAKE CHARGE OF BASEBALL BT LUTHER A. HUSTON f STFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE CHICAGO. Oct. 2 Establishment of a high tribuiiHl of baseball that would tske control of the game from the' hands of mugn.'ites and managers and placs It in the hands of men who would bo considered as direct representatives of the public Is being urged today as thu most feasible plan of J;c-eping spotless the nutlon.il game which ia now In thj pron'ss of being cleaned up. Four of the loading ball clubs of the major leagues have'approved Ukj plan which A. D. Lask r, a stockholder In the Chicago Cubs is Credited with having originated. Already the immes of some of the. nation's most famous men have been brought to the front as possible, members of this "super court" of baseball. Among them are Wni. Howard Taft. former president; Gen. John J, Pershing. Gen. Leonard Wood, Wm. G. Mc .iub owner?, pLycrs and every other rfrfon, act or thing connected with the national game." The four major league clubs that have npprovod Ihe plan are the New Tork oiants the rmsburKh Pirates, the Chi'Icago Cubs, and the Chicago White Sox. Lasker is actively engaged In an effort to obtain approval of the plan from other baseball magnates. He will ask the minor leagues to come In also when ?he National Association holds its annual meeting at Kansas City. Whil the baseball world is revolving his latest scheme in its mind a ternnorarv lull has arrived in the crand jury 1 proceedings that hive kept the fans and the players on tender hooks during the past weeks. The Jury here proposed to call no witnesses today, but will resume its act- ' ive hearing on Monday. States Attorney Maclay Hove, wh plunged actively Into the Inquiry upon his return from New Tork yesterday, has made the startling charge that at least six games in the major leagues were "fixed", during the ir20 season. Evidence which h uncovered in New Tork, Hoyne said, caused him to nuke the etiarge. "I have evidence that several of the

190 games v. ere 'fixed' and I have Information that the forthcoming uvrles was to bw 'llxed'jlloyno said. "While in New "York I gathered together lejoce threads of a 1920 scandal which would far nurra.s that of last year.- I cannot say at this time what the results of my Investigation will be. but I will venture the assertion that there Is muto and bigger scandal coining in the baseball world. "Garry" Horrman, president of the Cincmnatl Iteds, who was the chief witness before the grand Jury yesterday, was questioned concerning reports Unit a $20,000 fund had been raised by gamblers to bribe the New Tork Giants to "lay down" to that Cincinnati could win the pennant last year.

S CATENAS PLAY STEGEit, ILL., SUNDAY The management of the Scats has booked one of the hardest games of the season by paying the Stcger team at Steger, 111.. Sunday. They no doubt have one of the strongest teams artiund this vicinity. They have such well known men as Tom Stack pitching, this same fellow having pitched against P. Parduhn's nine a couple tt years ago, and Harry Bloom from Chicago, another man well known by Hammond fans, not only as a catcher but as a football player. They nave t-evcral other ttars from the old Chicago Heights nine. Well, this lo k 1 like. It is going to be a gcod gamo ot ball, the Scatinas will use their same lineup they had againtt Glenwood the exceptiein eif the pitching ftaff. Captain Meyers expects to have tho team In perfect condition for this game. Creasbaum the Seat's heady little pitcher will probably twirl th game, with Wallle Hess behind the bat. if the Scats win this game, of till they will close the season with nn exceptionally good record of 18 wins and three loses. All those wanting to see this game of ball can do so by taking the big bus which leaves the corner of Ca'umet and Sibley street at 12:30 o'clock sharp. The fare will be 75c for both ways. Le-t's come out strong and show Steger what we have. COMMY DECLARES CITY SERIES OFF Convinced that a city series this fall is not for the best interests of basehall. President Comiskey of theWhite Sox has motored Into Wlsconon. for several days' rest, but Is expected back next week. Sox officials say no plans arc being made even for a single game between the "loyal Sox" and the Cubs. Nearly a thousand letters and telegrams have been received by Comiskey from personal friends commending his action in the baseball scandal. Nick Aitrock. member of the Sox world's champions of 1?05. was a caller at the se.uth side park. Aitrock left last r.ight for San Francisco, where the club has signed him to participate In sixteen exhibition games after the season ends, in wh!gh Ty Cobb also will appear. Asked bis duties. Nick replied. "To irak 'em laugh." i!i 1 lit ! i I ii Ml
