BROOKLYN HAS LOSI NO PRESTIGE

BV SID JltRCLB STAFF CORRESPONDtNT I. N. SERVICE NEW YOHK, Oct. 6. No team aver lost leas prestige by kicking oC tho first same of a. world's series than tue Brooklyn National League club did w hen Stanley Coveleskle tied them into scoreless knots with bis f our-pron;-ed spitter yesterday. The reputation of the Dodgers as a same, hustling team did not suffer In the least by this setback. To be sure it was disheartening to see Uncle Hobby's boys reeling back from one bad "break" after another, but Brooklyn supporters do not think the luck will run ea way all through the series. Instead of being downcast over their showing against Coveleskie, the Dodgers are rnort confident than ever. They figure they have siven Speaker's pitching "ace" a battle that will ke?p him a the sidelines until after the fourth game, and they do not believe "Spoke" has another pitcher anywhere near as good as him. In the meanwhile Brooklyn's reserve pitching strength has hardly been touched. Any one of the three hurlers who worked yesterday could go in again tomorrow. Mamaux and Cadore could work today as they mads only trief appearances on the slab. Marquard, when he was removed for a pinch hitter, was going strong. This Is the way ilanager Kobiason figured it: He matched three pitchers against Speaker's one best and the mauling Indians did not make any more hits off the trio than the Dodgers combed from the delivery of Coveleskie, rated as the best spit-ball pitcher in the American league. And don't forget that "Coyey" had rested up several days for this effort, while Jim Bagby and "Duster" Mails, who are the next two Cleveland pitchers in line, were pressed hard and;somewhat overworked in the closing days of the American league race when the Whjte Sox were making threatening gestures. Furthermore. It was evident yesterday that Speaker was ready more than once to lift Coveleskie. One good smashing hit at one of two or three cages of the opening game would have blasted the Polo from his pedestal. Each team made five hits but Cleveland's bingles were more timely than Brooklyn's aitd one base on balls yielded by Marquard developed into a calamity. Coveleskie pitched a tight game. He had some of the Dodgers breaking their backs to guage the 'breaks' on the ball. No other Cleveland pitcher is likely to. duplicate this performance. Another factor that weighed heavily against the Dodgers yesterday was the fielding of Speaker. Sewell and Evans. Speaker in particular rendered his pitcher amazing support. The veteran's Judgment of wind-blown flies was something uncanny. There were a couple of short flys he could not reach, but be caught one that Evans missed and Evans returned the favor some few rounds later by crossing in front cf his manager and plucking a base hit out cJ the air.

MELCHOIR HAS SHADE ON ROPER

KENOSHA. "Wis.. Oct. . Tony Melchoir easily had the shade at the end of ten rounds over Capt. Bob Roper ia the heavyweight windup at the Coliseum here last night. It was a slow battle, with much clinching and holding, and it greatly displeased the crowd. Melcholr wanted to score a kayo, hut Roper's awkward style wouldn't permit of anything of this nature. Except for the last few rounds. Roper never opened up and took a chance. He was content to stay the limit and score light lefts. Melcholr managed to rock Capt. Bob several times with left and right hooks to the Jaw, but when the going got very tough the captain would go back into a well-protected crouch and play it safe. The way Tony stepped out in te first five rounds it really looked onesided. All Roper did was to hold on for dear life. After he managed to reach Tony's nose and draw Mood he really took a chance, but would only open for a minute or so in the closing: rounds with a few slaps. There was no power behind hie punch"!. Crowd I'rcca Roper On The slim crowd didn't 1 ke Roper's actions and yelled for him to open up

ani f. giit. It is easily to be sn !w,v Rorer r.ienages to stick against ?h second-rate heavies. II? plays it tafs tnJ tries to make the other bird look as bad as possible. Referee TYalter Houllgan had his troubles making the heavies break. Molchoir weighed 187'?, while Roper tipped the beam at 182 at 3 o'clock. A small crowd, estimated at 1,000. turned out for the first show of the fall season of the Kenosha A. C. at the Coliseum. Promoter 13111 Fraser was keenly disappointed. "What people came up from Chicago on the electric special were Melcholr rooters. Many were pulling for the former tail driver to score a kayo. There was considerable betting before the bout that Melchoir would score a knockout, if one was registered. Mandril Sbadea Doolan. ' Sammy Mandell of Rockford and Barney Doolan of Ireland, who finished a thrilling battle at Ea.t Chicago a few weeks a a, put up another fast battle in the first bout of the night. Mandell showed himself a comer, having a big share at the ending of ten fast rounds, and scored a clean knockdown with a thort righthander in the ninth round. In another bout vic H'.rsch. Bill IJradburn's "West Side welterweight, covered himself with glory considering it was his first professional bout, going ten slugging rounds with the tough Eddie Raynor of South Chicagi. Whatever Vic lacked in experience he made up In aggressiveness. Raynor took an early lead but Vic came fast in the final rounds, earning a draw. He had Raynor humming at the final bell.

Icy to ?t the $25.00? o!Tr but the way that Sharkey is hoi ling eft on the Juicy rff-r indicates that be is nt worried over the cutoie of Saturday's match. It would seem that . Sharkey has a lot to lose if Saturday's ma'ch should happen to go against him but since

both ,he and Burman have won from Pete Herman recently a win from Burman would put Mm in a position to claim the world's bantam championship when he crosses the water. Under present circumstances Burman has Just as much claim to the bantam crown as Sharkey and Jack is anxious to effectively remove the Chicago boy from the running. If we can believe Sharkey's manager Burman Is destined to take the count before the end of the ten round?. The feature bout Is well backed up with a ten round semi-windup and a six round preliminary.

ON OUTCOME

OF THIS SCRAP

Winner of East Chicago Bout Will Get New Fight With Herman Sharkey won himself a nice rep when he handed that lacing to Jimmy Wilde in Milwaukee not so long ago and now the same lacing has won him an attractive offer of $25,000 for a twenty round go with Jimmy in his home city. London. The English champ evidently thinks that he will be able to put one over on Sharkey if he can only get him on the other side of the Atlantic and is anxious to have the bout In London before the end of the year. Although Sharkey has not yet definitely decidedjto accept the English offer he isn't""golng to pass it by without same pretty good reason and that reason may turn up next Saturday when he meets Joe Burman of Chicago in the East Chicago arena. If Joe can get a decisive win over Jack it seems likely that Joe will b the
