CRUCIAL GAME IS ON TODAY

BT JACK VEIOCK CL X S. Spot-tin Editor JfETV YORK. Oct. 7. The world's series la a nip and tuck affair now. "With a victory apiece the Indians and Dodgers were on their toes and eager to get Into the third gam today. The outcome of today's same means much to both teams, but more to the Dodgers than to Cleveland, for after today the Indians v.-ill move to their wn back yard where they are confidently expecting to annex the first world's championship ever won by a Cleveland ball club. The setting for the third game was ideal. Fair -weather was the order again today and the weather man promised rising temperature. Despite the fact that the Dodgers came back so strong in the second prame and evened up the series Cleveland still ruled a favorite In the betting as the rivals prepared to enter the third tilt. The Indians were quot ed at to 6 in "Wall street and 11 to 10 on Broadway, with betting at even money on the) outcome) of today's same. Manager "Wilbert Robinson and the members of the Dodgers who have been full of ginger and eager to fight to a finish for the world's championship all along, were "hyped" up to the limit with pepper today and from all indications they are going to be the hardest ball club to beat that Cleveland has ever faced. 'Everybody told us before the series opened that we were goinc to have a battle on our hands against the Indians, so we were prepared far it and were not surprised, much less discouraged, over the loss of the first game," said Manager Robinson today. "But I've known all along that there :.n't a better fighting hall club in either league than the Dodgers and I think that we proved It yesterday. Xow that we have even up the series i a

we mi- noing out to set the pace and we expect to start setting It today." Robby didn't have his mind made up regarding a patcher for the third game today, or at last he was not telling, but it looked like cither Sherrod Smith or Al Jlaraaui with the chances favoring Smith by a wide margin. Manager Speaker was up against a game of chance In his selection. It was either Malls or Morton and KJr Tristram was undecided. "Every one of our pitchers is In shape and ready to tart." said Speaker. "Mails, of course, la eager to get into the. scries against his old team mates and I may start him, but I'm not sure about It now." A lucky selection of a pitcher on either side will mean much today. Speaker chose the wrong hurler yesterday Just as did Robinson In the first gnme, for Hagby, acknowledged to be one of the very best right handers in the American league, was far from being at his best yesterday afternoon. The members of the Indians are giving Burleigh Grimes full credit today for the victory In the second game, but there Is a feeling among thefn that Grimes can be beaten, and here is the reason: Doc Johnston, Elmer Smith, Jamiej. son and Speaker, not to mention Larry Gardner, hit the ball mighty hard against Grimes but when hits would have counted heavily they either hit the ball straight at one of the Brooklyn fielders or were robbed by catches such as Zach "Wheat and Tommy Griffith made against them. ""We had chances to score more runs

than Brooklyn," said Speaker after the game, "and we hit a lot of balls mighty hard, but Grimes would not let us get through him. I'm giving him credit. He is a fine pitcher. He reminds me a lot of Jack Qu-inn, who Is always a hard man to beat. But we may get Grimes If he starts again. As a result of the first two games many fcf the best little baseball experts will not be surprised now to sec the series drawn out perhaps to the full limit of nine games. The teams are well matched. They are both fighting aggregations and there is plenty of hitting ability on both sides.

CRIES OF LAMENTATION FROM BOILER BUSTERS Miller and Gulley May Out of Chicago Game LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 7. Big electric flood lights were used for the first time on Stuart field last evening to enable the Purdue football squad to scrimmage after daylight had faded away. Coach Scanlon had the lamps placed in such a position that they brightened the entire playing field. The varsity found the freshman eleven a tough proposition t handle and the best the regulars could do In an hour and a half of playing 'was to tie the score, the count being 13 to 13. The defense was equal to all demands when the varsity threatened to score. Try as they might the varsity backs could not "penetrate the stone wall opposition when Coach Scanlon called on them for a touchdown that would give them a vlctorv over the freshles. Forward passes were tried time after time but the freshmen broke them up. Finally when both teams were completely exhausted the practice period was brought to conclusion. The Boiler Makers, outlook for the Chicago game is about as gloomy any that has confronted a Purdue tesm( on the eve of its annual battle with the Maroons. Miller and Gulley, two of the varsity forwards, are down in their studies and will not be able to play at all next Saturday at Stagg field unless they clear away their conditions in tests later in the week. "With these two men missing from the line Purdue will have a much less formidable defense. In the back field Macklin is on the injured list and Wagner Is also suffering with slight Injuries. Carmen, regular end. Is also on the sidelines. i

CLASH OF SOUTH PAWS BY SID MERCER (STAFF rOHRLSFONDENT I. K. SERVICE) NEW TOKK. Oct. 7. Early indications were that the third clash today of the world'i series contender the laat in Brooklyn unless the decision Is delayed beyond the seventh game will be a duel of left-handed pitchers. Sherrod Smith, Brooklyn's burly forkhander and Walter (Duster) Mails, who once toiled In Dodger livery, are believed to be the choices of their respective managers for the combat which each (fam leader Is particularly anxious to win. It Is almost certain that Mails will face the Dodger but Uncle Wilbert Robinson may switch from Smith to either Cadore or Pfeffer, who are fairly Itching for a chance to get Into the fracas. Robby can afford to gamble but Speaker is only one jump ahead of hi second string pitchers. The result of yesterday's game has made the Dodger supremely confident that they are going to win. They have disposed for a few days at least of Jim Bagby who was rated as highly as Coveleskle before the series started and they expect to make trouble foi Mails who has not had a lot of major league experience. If they win today they figure Speaker will be forced to shoot Coveleskle back at them on Saturday when the fourth game of the serie's I played In Cleveland. Smith Is a big. husky cltlkr. who can go nine Inning and more, II necessary. HI baptism of fire In a world's championship game was received In 1916 when he took the Boston Red Sox and Babe Ruth along for fourteen innings before he bowed In defeat. A veteran of several hard national league campaigns. Smith Is a steady, reliable performer and he can hit a bit too. He finished the regular season in good form and has had a good long rest and is as ready as he ever will be. Chicago Footballer is Honored at Notre Dame NOTRE DAME. Ind.. Oct. 7. Frank Coughlin of Chicago, Notre Dame University football captain, has gained new honors by his election as president p nls class, the Senior class, at Notre Dame. The election and the possibility that Coughlin, AlVWestern selection at tackle last year, may be picked on the All-American team of this year, gains for him unusual honor. STAR SLtt

ODDS ON SERIES SHIFT TO 6 TO 5, INDIANS CHOICES NEW TORK, Oct. 7 Whereas Cleveland had been a S to 3 world's series favorite in the betting prior to yesterday's game, the odds in Wall street immediately dropped after the Robins' victory. The figures changed to 5 to 6, with the Indians favorites. These odds prevailed before the first game. Booklyn supporters tried to get 7 to b tonight, but when they found this impossible, except in rare cases, there was greater willingness to take 6 to 5 than has been evinced at any time since it became apparent the Robins would be pitted against Cleveland in the battle for premier baseball honors.
