CLEVELAND SETTLES BACK TO ENJOY HONORS; FANS PAY HOMAGE, DISPLAY JOY TONIGHT

(Bjr Associated Presa) I CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 13. With' the fifth city of the United States inj the matter of population definitely assured and if being the first city of the baseball unJverBe for at least twelve j months, Cleveland today settled backi to enjoyment of the world's championship baseball honors brought here by Jim Dunn's Indians when they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 3 to 0 yesterday and captured the annual classic of the professional diamond from the National League champions by five games to two. Cleveland, 42 years a hanger-on in professional baseball but now the official home of the world series winners, turned its thoughts today to devising new ways of showing appreciation of the prowess of the athletes who finally made this city the world's baseball capital. Ready To Tell World. Although several watches, medals, automobiles, loving cups and half a dozen floral wreaths of unusual size f have been presented to the winning ' players by appreciative fans. Clove-, land believes it has done little for the American Leaguers, Is getting ready to let tho world know just how it feels about possessing a championship ball club. The first of a series of celebrations will be held tonight and according to plans, the wlldness of Cleveland throughout the past four days over its club will be tame and dignified compared with he joy to be displayed. Superiority Evident. Cleveland superiority over the national leaguers was evident in the series, for the American League'

cnampions outhit, outflelded, outplayed and out-guessed their senior circuit rivals. Coming into the series with a pitching staff considered the best in either league and noted for its aces, Brooklyn went out with a battered ground of hurlers, only two of whom Grimes and Smith were able to pitch winning ball. And Grimes hung up a team average of .244 to .200 for Brooklyn. Fielding figures give Brooklyn an advantage of .975 to .925. However, few will contend "Clevelands superior defense at critical moments. In strategy, Brooklyn repeatedly tried to ambush the Indians, but each time the Tomahock came back true to the mark and added another scalp to the string collected by the tribe. Miller Is Wonder, Only in one branch of inside baseball did Brooklyn show real superiority, so far as the spectator could see. There was in the almost uncanuy ability of Catcher Miller to catch the Indians hit and run and base stealing signals. Five times in the four game.' here the Brooklyn backstop called the turn by signalling for pitchouts on these plays. Each time the play was broken up and the Cleveland basfc runner easily trapped. , The pitching superiority of Cleve land's trio of flinders is indicated in the scores of the games. Backing up Coveleskie's almost unparalleled work. Walter Mails came through with 15 Mt shutout innings, including a three-hit game, and Jim Bagby pitched two good contests, winning one and losing one. George Uhle, second string twirler, pitched good ball on his short appearances, anly Caldwell who was knocked out al uie box in one inning, falling down. Records Broken. The world series, despite the orcesidedness of the result brought ou;

some of the greatest baseball In history. Numerous records of minor importance were broken, but standing nbove all were Wambganss unassisted triple play and Elmer Smith's home run with the bases full. Two great pitching battles were included and terrific hitting when long hits were need ed to win the game came from the Cleveland bats. The Brooklyn club today was on its way back home where it will disband until next season.- The eastern players were generous in praise of their conquerers, frankly admitting that the best team won. Figures for this year's world series, given out today by John E. Bruce, secretary of the ' national commission, show that neither the attendance nor the gate receipts were as great as in last year's contests. They place the 1920 series well toward the top in the records for all years, however. The approximate figures for 1919 and 1920 follow: Total Attendance 1920, 178,737 (7 games); 1919, 236,928 (8 games). Total Receipts 1920, $664,000; 1919, $722,414. National commission's share $56,480; $72,241. Each club's share $146,718; $389,822. Players' share (from first five games) $214,932; $260,349. Winning team's share $96,697; $117,157. Losing team's share $64,463; $78,104. j Each winning . dyer's share $4,404, $4,881. Each losing player's share $2,387; $3,254.

Purse for second and third place teams of each league $53,770; $65,097. These figures vary slightly over previous unofficial totals given out and still are subject to correction, Mr. Brace said, as errors in checking may develop. The figures are not carried into the odd cents. The national com mission pointed out that the league and club officials lost at least $100,000 because the series did not go nine games as the Brooklyn club already had sold tickets to that amount for the two unplayed contests and will have to refund the money. Only in 1911, 1912, 1917 and 1919 were the attendance figures for the series exceeded while only in 1919 were the receipts greater than this year. Seventeen world series now have been played in modern baseball and the total attendance was 2,431,579. The total receipts were $4,766,935.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Saints Determined to Win Four andSeries; Kelley (By Associated Presa) ST. PAUL. Oct. 13. St. Paul, American association baseball champions, and Baltimore, winner of the International League fla, met here today in the fifth clash of the "Junior world series." Undaunted by their three defeats and only one victory at Baltimore, the Saints were determined to win four more games and the series on their home grounds. Manager Mike Kelley said. The Orioles need only two more successes and Jack Dunn, manager, was confident his team would take two straights. SERVICE VETERANS ROUND INTO SHAPE The American Legion football squad will -hold signal drill at South Tenth street park at 7 p. m., Wednesday. It was orignally planned to wrk out in Garfield gym but the gym was not available. Several new plays will be worked out as the team may have to resort to an open game against Greenville next Sunday. This style was not used against Shelbyville but the Legioners believe they can handle the open game as well as straight football. The fact that Richmond establisheo a reputation in last Sunday's showing is proven by the number of requests the management has received for games with the bigger state teams and the flattering offers made to individual players by other teams. The present squad will b$ held together. A winning team spirit has been manifested. Several new players will be added so that an injury to any individual of the present well-balanced outfit will not effect the team to any great extent. The Legion team is the best independent football team ever turned out in this city. With the right kind of support they will give Richmond fans something to crow about.

Rickey Refuses $200,000 Offered for George Sisler CLEVELAND, Oct. 13. An offer of $200,000 for George Sisler, made by the New York Yankees, has v been turned down by Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Browns, it was learned today.

WISER GRID MACHINE TO REPRESENT HIGH Richmond high school will be represented by a much wiser bunch of football players when they stack up against EJkhart on Reid field Saturday afternoon in the curtain raiser for the Rose Poly-Earlham setto. The high gliders are working late every evening in order to Iron out the weak spots in their lineup. Null is working hard on the backfield and line with greater diligence, and tome help is being given him by some experienced players around town who are lining up against the varsity in order to give them stiffer opposition. Demonstrate Tricks. A few of the tricks of the game are being demonstrated to the squad by those more experienced players and the outfield will not depend so much on their size and more on their heads when they lineup against the up staters this week. - It is admitted that the breaks went against the locals in last Saturday's conflict, and if they can play a whole game like they started out in the Shortridge contest, they should be able to annex a win to the second season's record. The outcome of the game is uncertain because of the lack of information on Elkhart. Howevei, it is known that the visitors have had considerable experience and will stack up well in the point of size, so that a battle royal will be staged for the Red and White followers. Simpson Pleads Guilty To Game Law Breach Walter Simpson, 406 Northwest Eighth street, pleaded guilty before Justice of the Peace S. K. Morgan., Tuesday morning, to a charge of violating the state game laws on complaint filed by Cecil Gilpin, game warden. He was fined $5 and cqsts.
