SEWELL WINS GLORIES Collegian in Less Than 5 Months Jumps From Bush Ball to Star in AYorld's Series. BY GRANTLAND P. RICE. BROOKLYN, N. V., Oct. 5. At the conclusion of this series there will be no wistful, tragedy-haunted Cleve land kit waiting outside a courtroom to get an answer to this command "Say, It isn't true, Trie?" In the presence of 23.834 wind-swept believers, the world's greatest out fielder not only led his club to vic tory over Brooklyn's world series hopes, but In backing up the brilliant pitching of Coveleskle the spectacular Texan broke up two budding rallies by killing off two impending triples while moving at top speed. A gale from out of the barren lands ;came howling across the field twist ing and warping the trajectory of fly balls into puzzling deviations, but these deviations were not puzzling enough to baffle the defensive art of Speaker who romped back and forth across the field like a ball-playing centipede In action. In spite of the effective pitching- of Marquard. &fa maux and Cadore, Cleveland won the first game, 3-to-l, through the speed and power of her defensive play. Five Hit Allowed. As a starter Stanley Coveleskie. the enduring Pole, curbed the scrappy Dodgers with five scattered blows, using his right arm and a spitter for this worthy or unworthy purpose as the case may be, and when the Pole began to sway a trifle in the nipping gaie his supporting cast did the rest. All in vain the loyal Brooklyn dele gation pleaded for a rally. Through inning after inning the biff crowd clamored for a winning drive, but Coveleskie was at hiabest. He yielded but one pass and after a slip by Konetchy and timely punches by Sew ell and O'Neil had turned in two pre vious tallies. Brooklyn was beaten. Less than five months ago Joe Se well, as captain, was directing the baseball fortunes of Alabama univer sity down in the fried chicken belt. From Alabama he drifted down to New Orleans and when Ray Chapman was killed and the dragnet for short stops were thrown out Sewell came to Cleveland. On Tuesday he stepped Into his first world series, a young collegian with less than a month's major league experience, and In the course of the afternoon he not only figured in the club's winning rally at bat with a clean single, but on the irie ran down seven chances at short without a bobble. And two of these chances wiped out near base hits that might have done Brooklyn a world of good. In the third inning he robbed rcie auuuu oi tt certain buigie uj dashing in short left for his grounder and then whipping a fine line throw to first. Later on in the fifth It was Sewell again who shut down upon another Brooklyn rally by nailing Lamar's line drive over short with his gloved hand. OWell on the Steve O'Neil contributed a brace of timely- doubles that proved to be of vast assistance. And then there is a man named Wood. Kxactly eight years ago this same "Wood was the main hero in a spicy world series af fair, wherein the Boston Red Sox trimmed the New Yor; Giants. Smoke Ball Joe was the feature of the en gagement. But Smoke Ball Joe lost the hop to his fast one. faded out of the picture and apparently was for ever through. The old right wing that once carried such terrific speed might as well have been hanging on the wall with his glove. But Wood refused to be checked out. He switched his career from pitch ing to outf. elding, signed with his old pal. Speaker, and today back in the thick of another world s se es It was Joe Wood who scored two of the three Cleveland runs, crossing the plate each time with a smile as wide as the span of a hand. While Coveleskie was toying with "Brooklyn batsmen the tall and wil lowy form of Rube Marquard was back at its old trade. Rube began his world series career back in 1911 b'v unlucklly tossing a fast ball in reach of Frank Baker's bat. He worked against the Athletics in 1911 and 1913 and against the Red Sox in 1912 and 1916. So today ha stepped jauntily out Into his fifth post-season con flict. Hobe Has Bum Reel. The eminent Rube bumped into a tough break in the second reel. He' had a flock of stuff at his disposal in the first inning, but in the second a weird and unlucky incident steered him into the bosky dell. Burns opened with a high infield fly. The ball soared high above the field in the direction of second base. Pete Kllduff first took up the pursuit as the wind began to swing the ball toward first. The gallant Pete at the last moment abandoned what looked to be a futile chase, and as big Koney stepped forward the ball took a final whirl and dropped to earth just beyond his reach. In the meanwhile Burns after rounding . first hustled on to second. Koney grabbed the ball, pegged it over second base out of Olson's reach, and so Burns con tinued his mad sprint over the plate. No wonder the dismayed Rube be gan to hop around in circles'. To have an Infield fly develop Into an unaided run was quite enough to jar him loose from his moorings. Before he came back to. earth Wood walked. Sewell singled and O'Neill rammed out a double to left, and another tally was over the plate, with Coveleskie riding on top of the world. Those two runs, backed up by Cleveland's fasf and flawless defense, were quite enough to hold Brooklyn in check despite her game efforts to break through. Dramatic Moments Few. The battle in the main was devoid of any dramatic moments. It was merely a ball game. The loyal fa natic fs a hard bird to suppress, but the triple combination of cold weath er, the home team not hitting and the shadow of baseball's greatest scandal from the series of a year ago seemed to remove some of the ancient zest. There was nothing funereal about thn occasion, but a portion of the old hip-hip was missing. This will change quickly, however, before a balmy sun with Brooklyn pasting the offerings of Jim Bagby. provided the. sun or the pasting ar rives. Outside of Konetchy'is wild peg In the second inning, the contest was errorless on both sides. While Mar quard was peppered In spots.

Kilduff sent up a high fly i ing inning, using the old combina tion of curves and speed with telling effect. He whiffed Sewell, O'Neil and Coveleskie in order, and as he stalked out of the box the massed at tendance presented him with all the mixed metaphorical earmarks -of an ovation. The harmony king had proved that a good right-hander could hold his own against the slugging Indians and their season's bp.tting average of .363. Cadore was almost as effective, and now with Grimes, Pfeiffer and Sherrod Smith still left, the Dodgers refuse to concede any thing except the first game. Pitcher Brooklyn's Chance. Brooklyn's chance in this series was conceded to be over the long route where her large supply of pitchers gave her the advantage. Few teams in the business would have stopped Coveleskie today, supported as he was by the entire cast. But it is no certainty that Bagby and Mails can hold this pace, while Brooklyn can look for even better pitching than Marquard offered from Grimes, Pfeiffer and Smith. Brooklyn isn't out of it by a dozen jumps yet. World's Series Comment. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT Allhough Brooklyn has been In three previous post-season competitions the Dodgers have yet to emerge a winner. Brooklyn's record shows two defeats and one draw. In 18S10 Brooklyn won the Na tional league pennant for the first time and met Louisville, winner of the pennant in the then American association and these two clubs won three apiece and tied one in the playoff. Brooklyn's other ventures into world s series whirlpools occurred in 1S80 and 1918. " In 18S9 Brooklyn was in the association and it met th Giants, winners In the Na tional league, and the Giants triumphed six games to three. In 1916 Brooklyn made its debut into the present world's series arrangement and was easily defeated by the Boston Ked Sox, four games to one. Cleveland is another club which is con fronted with an opportunity to make a record- This is Cleveland's first chance to win a world's series, for no Cleveland team, either In the old National league or In the American league, ever has won a pennant and gained entrance into the crowning series for the world's title. Portland ball fans are pulling for Cleve land chiefly because of the alliance that existed between the Portland and Cleve land club for several years during Charley Somers' regime at Cleveland. Somen al ways came to McCredie's rescue whenever Man needed olaying talent, and if Somers I had possessed managers of ordinary acumen his Portland alliance might have gained world s series Honors lor tne In dians years ago and might have saved Somers from the ' financial rocks. Cleveland could have had Dave Ban croft, now short-patching for the New York Giants, but Somers' manager turned down McCredie's offer. The same goes for Tom .. . v. ,o.,varil inurneved to Philsa.- j delphia and pitched brilliantly. Mc- Credie naa great uuuvuuy iu iJciouunii Somers' managers to take Roger Peckin paugfc. Afterward the Indies traded him off to New York for Bili Stump and some other minor leaguer. If it hadn't been for Walter McCredie's insistence it is doubtful if Stanley Cove leskie, hero of yesterday's world's series opener, would have been in Cleveland uni form. McCredie had to get down on bended knee and beg Cleveland to take ihe little Pole. McCredie brought Coveleskie down from Spokane In 1915 and Ceveleskie won 20 and lost l.t in tne rtortnwesiern league me urevious season. Undoubtedly there was a wild rush to Konetchy's room after he uncorked his wild heave In tne second inning yesterday ! and helped the Indians to a couple of runs. - Testimony in the Chicago grand Jury ' probe revealed that several ball stars to Wood.

Coveleskle threw 24 balls, Marquard 31, Mamaux nine and Cadore two, while their re spective totals for missed strikes were 22, 21. 10 and 1. The Brooklyn batters fouled off nine pitches for strikes and the Cleveland men 14. Only one foul occurred, after two strikes were on the batter and that was made by J. Johnston of Brook lyn in the first inning. Only six Cleveland men went out on flies, while 11 Brooklyn batsmen went out by the air rtiute. Eachvside had 13 men grounding out. Marquard never pitched less than 10 balls an inning- and doubled that number in the second, when he became unsteady after Konetchy's error let Burns score. Coveleskie's total in the seventh and eighth innings was 13 each. Mar quard had four strike-outs. Coveleskie three and Mamaux three, all of which came In the seventh when he relieved Marquard. Chapman Gets Full Share. Division of the receipts for the game follows: Ten per cent of gross to national commission, $7904.90,' leaving a balance of 171,144.10. Sixty per cent of this balance for players' fund, $42,686.46; 40 per cent to club owners, $28,457.64. The players' fund Is divided 75 per cent to the members of the two teams participating in the world's series and 25 per cent to go into a pool to be divided among the players of the teams which finished second and third in the National and American leagues. The Cleveland players have voted a full share of -the portion of the re ceipts to be divided among them to the widow of Ray Chanman, the shortstop who was killed by a pitched ball in a game between Cleveland and New York in this city. Cleveland got the jump on Brook lyn by scoring two runs in the second inning. Burns, first man up, hit a high fly, which came down where Konetchy was standing. The wind caught the ball and Konetchy jogged a etep forward, then backward, then sdewlse, and in the end the' ball dropped to the ground. It went as a single. Konetchy picked up the ball and threw to second to head off Burns, but no one was there to receive the throw and the hall-went to left field. Burns meanwhile com pleting the circuit for the first run. After Gardner had been disposed of at first. Wood drew a pass and went to third on Sewell's single to .right center. Wood then scored on O'Neill's double down the left field line. II obi nn Only Score In .trvrnl h. In the fourth inning with one out, Joe Wood doubled to left center and remained at the midway station when Sewell filed to Myers. Wood scored on O'Neill's double to rig-.t. Brooklyn's only run came in the seventh, when Wheat led off with a double to right. He took third while Myers was being retired at first and scored when Konetchy was put out at first, Burns to Coveleskie. The spectators were slow in filing into the stands and there were many vacant seats when Evans opened the game with an infield out. Later these seats filled Lut there was an apparent lack of enthusiasm compared with preceding world series. Much of the usual noise of rooting was missing and there wasJittle evidence of con certed effort to cheer on either team. Speculators who offered both grand stand and bleacher seats at several times their face value found few pur chasers and after the first inning were glad to dispose of them at 50 per cent of the orlgii al price. The high ground back of the park and roofs of apartment houses in the vi cinity were thronged but these crowds dwindled as the cold wind-ami inabil ity of the Brooklyn batters to hit Coveleskie safely chilled . their base ball ardor. Brooklyn Team let Confident. After the game today. Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn team said his players are not discouraged over the loss of the first game and are still confident that ' they will win the series. "Cleveland played great ball in the field," he added, "while Coveleskie's work on the mound was of the best. Cleveland, too, was favored by thd wind, which carried Burns' fly in the second inning from short over to first base. "While the Cleveland players de serve all of the glory and praise that goes with winning the opening game. the fans should not overlook the Brooklyn players. My boys fought hard every inch of the way and threw a big scare into the Cleveland team in the eight inning. "The Brooklyn team with the ex ception of Konetchy's error played faultlessly in the field. That catch of Griffith's against the right field wall tvas one of the most remark able I ever saw. "I will probably give the Cleveland batters some spitball pitching to hit at tomorrow as I intend to use Bur leigh Grimes." CLEVELAND FAX'S IN FRENZY' Indian Boosters Confident Speak er's Crew "Will n Aain. CLEVELAND, Oct. 5. Cleveland baseball fans were in a frenzy to night over the victory of the Indians today. In hotel lobbies, on street corners and wherever fans congre gated today's game was gone over in detail, and it was the concensus of opinion that their idols would make it two straight tomorrow. Satisfaction was expressed in the fact that "Rube" Marquard was dis posed of and that with Manaux having pitched part of today's game, he hardly would be available to morrow. The fans as a rule do not fear much trouble in disposing' of anyone else whom Manager Robinson might send to the mound. Confidence was expressed that James Bagby and Walter Mails would be just as effective as Coveleskie. More scoreboards were on display here today than ever before. Every corner newsboy had one and large crowds stood around watching the results. . CLUB PLANS OPEN HOUSE Kuehn and Thelma Payne to Be Honored Toraororw.
