CLEVELAND'S HITS DIVIDED Grirnth Spears Savage Smasli Well as Driving in Two or Winner's Scores. DETAILED STORY. TELLS HOW SUPERBAS TOOK THEIR GAME Grimes Fits Excellent Coat of Whitewash on Indian Bucks by Spitball Delivery and Is Aided by Teammates' Bunching of Singles. NEW YORK. Oct. 6. In a pitching battle between the leading: hurlers of the National and American leagues, Burleigh A. Grimes, Brooklyn's spit ball ace, today shut out Cleveland, 3 to 0, in the second game of the world's series at Kbbets field. His ability to hold the Indians in check when hits would have meant runs marked his superiority over James C. Bagby, whom Manager Speaker se lected to add a second game to the Cleveland string. The victory, which placed the Su perbas alongside Tris Speaker's In dians, was due almost entirely to the excellent hurling of Grimes, who had the heavy-hitting representatives of the junior league baffled throughout the game so far as consecutive bin gling was concerned. With the excep tion of the eighth Inning, when Grimes temporarily lost sight of the home plate, Cleveland never appeared in the light of a serious contender. The inability of the Indians to con nect with Grimes' slants when hits would have meant runs is apparently Illustrated by the fact that the Cleve land clan got 14 runners on the bags, of whom ten were stranded and four retired by subsequent plays. iThe In dians were not without repe;rled op portunities to score, but in every emergency Brooklyn's star twirler met the emergency with a masterly collection of sharp-breaking slants or slow breaks, which cut the corners of the plate or shot in close to the body of the batter with the result the seven hits of the invaders were so scattered as to be useless In run producing. Snperbna Make IIIiikIck Count. Bagby was not as effective in the box as Coveleskie in the opening game, or as his opponent. Grimes, notwithstanding that he delivered less pitches than did the winning hurler. The Superbas reached his offerings effectively when runners were on bases as compared to the Indians, for of the ten Brooklyn batters to reach first, three scored, three were retired and the remaining four left. The crux of the pitching analysis is shown by the fact that the winners scored three runs on seven hits scattered through six innings, while Cleveland, with an equal number of swats, was unable to send a run across the plate In nine innings. Uhle, who replaced Bagby in the seventh session, provided more of a puzzle to the home combi nation, the Robins going out on strikes or flies in order during the two pe riods in which he worked. The contest, aside from Grimes' power to puzzle the winners of the American-league pennant at critical times in the struggle, was devoid of sensational features and color, as was the initial battle yesterday. Speaker pulled off another sensational catch In thfe fourth inning, when he raced far over into Jamieson's territory and hauled down Kilduffs long drive. Right-fielder Griffith starred with a catch off the wall in the seventh, when he captured Sewell's savage smash In a manner somewhat similar to his thrilling handling of Speak er's drive of Tuesday. Indiana Show Drrrnxe Flaxh. A flash of the defensive skill of the Indians was shown in the third ses sion, with Brooklyn at bat. Bagby served up a slow floater to Grimes, who promptly peppered it into center field for a single. Olson followed with a. bunt which Bagby threw low to second. 'Wambsganss, in his ef forts to hold the ball, stooped low over the bag. and Grimes, dashing into the sack, turned a complete somersault over the prostrate in- Ilelder. Griffith's double to right, scored Grimes and put Olson on third. BagDy purposely paesed Wheat and relied on a play on Myers to shut Off the rally. The entire Cleveland team was on its toes, and when Myers slashed a sizzling grounder to Gardner, the Indians' third base man shot it back to O'Neill, forcing out Olson. O'Neill endeavored to turn the play Into a second out at fircst. but his throw hit Myers in the back as the latter raced for the initial sack. Johnston was on the job, however, and rushed up the base line, where he picked up the balf and hurled it back to O'Neill in time to catch Grif fith trying to score. O'Neill aided the play by completely blocking the approach to the plate, for which he was roundly booed by the Brooklyn fans. The play was entirely legiti mate, however, and Umpire Connolly, who was behind the plate, paid no attention to the protests of the home rooters. Brooklyn's other runs were scored without any attendant features. Jimmy Johnston gave the Brooklyn fans the first real opportunity to cheer when he beat out a single to deep short in the first inning. It proved to be the opening of the first run. Johnston added the second quar ter of the run, when he made a clean steal of second and ambled on to third while Griffith wa being dis posed of at first. Captain Wheat came to the front with a timely hit to center, which sent Johnston across the plate. Wheat, by fast sprinting, making his hit count as a double. Crlfflth Ilrl ven Jn Run. Grirnth added to his record as a timely hitter in the fifth, when his single to short sent Olson home with the third and final run of the con test. The Brooklyn shortstop got on by connecting with one of Bagby's fast ones for a single. He advanced to the midway while Johnston and Bagby were disposing of the former's brother, and from that point com pleted the circuit on Griffith's hit. The attendance, despite an improve ment in the weather conditions, did not quite equal the standard set in the opening game. The sky vaB overcast when Grimes served up his filrst pitch, a strike on Jamieson, and there was little wind to disconcert the fielders. Although the sun cast only occasional rays on the dia mond, the air was warm and with out the nipping chill which accom panied Cleveland's victory yesterday. Still there were scattered vacant seats, singly and in pairs. In both the lower and upper stands. The spectators as a whole appeared to view the struggle with apathy, only occasionally giving vent to a con certed roar of approval or encourage ment. There was an utter lack of team rooting, while the songs and music, which have made other world series conspicuous from a voal standpoint, were as much missing as during- the opening game. Attendance Drops Off. The official figures announced by the national commission showed that EBBETTS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oct. 6. Burleigh Grimes fitted a fine coat of whitewash on the backs of the Cleveland Indians today and che Brooklyns, champions of the Na tional league, walked off the field with a 3 to 0 victory in the second game of the world series. Grimes' spitball tied the backs of the Cleve- i landers in knots, while Brooklyn's hitting- was timely, the National leaguers getting their hits in clus ters when hits meant runs.

Buzz Arlett and Honus Mitze did the heavy end of the work for the Oaks today both on offense and defense. Buzz got a home run and three bagger and Honus helped himself to two doubles and a single and all those hits helped put the Oaks over. Portland Not Going Well. The Portland club is not going any where and looks it. George Maisei who is a real ball player, was called to his home 4n Baltimore by the death of his mother, and ' McCredie hasn't anyone who can come anywhere near taking his place. ' Mac is carrying some prospects around with him, giv ing them the once over to see if he will want them next year. Bourg is one of them and that short right field fence at Recreation park had him all crossed up. He was fin ally lifted and another long-legged youth named Barnaby finished the game at that station. Mac used Brooks, Poison and Pilette in the box. The latter is the young man who had spring training with the Seals last year and who was shipped to Des Moines along with Joe Con nolly. He was on the job only a few minutes, yet he wild-pitched a runner home from third. Four Runs Flatten Beavers. The Portland gang see-sawed around making trouble until the Oaks flattened them with four runs In the eighth. They never wriggled after that. The grounds were damp from the heavy rain, so the fielding was not fast. There is about as much interest in this series as there is in yester day's dally paper.

This makes the total receipts for the two days $155,213. The division of the money for the two days follows: Ten per cnt to national commission, $15,521.30; 60 per cent of balarce to players' pool, $83,815.02; remainder to clubs, $55,876.68. The players' share in the receipts of I the first five games and their pool is divided 75 per cent to the players of the teams participating in worlds series and 25 per cent to the players of the teams finishing second and third in the National and American leagues. The complete pitching analysis of the game shows that, while Grimes in the victor's role threw the ball up to the Cleveland batters 130 times in nine innings, his two opponents. Bagby and IThle, had a total of 95 for eight in nings, of which Bagby threw 69 in six and Uhle 26 in two. Grimes Issues 3 Passes. In the eighth Grimes had trouble in locating the plate when he hurled the sphere 25 times, a record for the pres ent series. Of these pitches, 14 were balls and three men walked to first, but Cleveland failed to score. The three Brooklyn runs were scored off Bagby in the first, third and fifth, in which innings he made 15, 12 and 19 pitches, respectively. Bagby made the low record of five pitches in the fourth inning, when he threw two balls and the three other offerings were turned into outs. Grimes' low inning was the sixth when he allowed one hit, threw one ball and two strikes, and outs ac counted for the other three, making a total of seven pitches. Grimes threw 48 balls, 31 strikes, 15 foul strikes and five fouls after the second strike. Ten of his deliveries were turned into fly outs and 14 into ground outs. Bagby's record was 25 balls, ten strikes, seven foul strikes and three fouls after the second strike. Ten pitches resulted in fly outs and seven in ground outs. He allowed seven hits, as did Grimes. Uhle, in the two innings he occupied the mound, delivered eight balls, nine strikes, five foul strikes and one foul. Three other pitches resulted in fly outs. Speaker Gives Grimes Credit. Manager Tris Speaker of the In dians, tonight gave full credit to Grimes for his. masterly pitching in today's game. "We could not hit with men on bases and Brooklyn had two batters who-could," he said. "I thilik.that is the best reason I know of in doping out why we lost. Griffith hit safely twice with men in scoring distance. and Wheat turned the trick once. We had chances to score more runs than Brooklyn, but Grimes would not let us. although it must be admitted we hit a lot of balls hard "Doc Johnston slammed a fierce one to left in the fourth inning that would have scored me, had not Wheat made a nice catch. Smith hit two warm grounders to Koney. Jamieson hit at least once in tough luck, and I know that when I grounded to Kilduff in the eighth I hit the ball as hard as ever in my life. And you may remem ber the one hit by Sewell that Grif fith grabbed off the walL If we could give Grimes the credit. He is a good pitcher. He has a great spitball. We may get him the next time." Mails May Shonr Today. Speaker said he intended to send in either Ray Caldwell or Walter Mails, his only left-hander, to pitch tomorrow. The boys did just what I expected they would do after what they have been showing me all season," said manager Robinson of the Brooklyn team. "It has been their habit all year to come back strong after defeat and naturally I could see no reason why they should not do the same thing in the world's series. 1 said; before the series opening that I had as game a ball club as ever trod a diamond and I think their per formance in the second game will satisfy everybody that I estimated the players properly. Some of the fans thought after the first game that the Brooklyn team would be aasy for the Indians all through the series but I felt differently about it. Now that we have come back and evened up the series our confidence ultimate victory is even greater than before and we never felt that we would not win. "The first two games have satis fied me that the two teams are about as closely matched as two teams could be. Each plays the same sort of game, relying on hard-hitting for its runs, with little effort to do much base-stealing. Of course. Speaker stands out above all the other players as a fielder and as a hitter, but even with Tris in the lineup, I cannot con cede that Cleveland has a better team than Brooklyn. Speaker Pleased with Pitchers. "I was satisfied before the series that my pitchers would be .able to hold the Indians in check even though Speaker's team hit above .300 for the season. I am more convinced now on that score. They got only five hits against the three pitchers who worked against them in the first game and, while they got seven off Grimes In the second game, Burleigh shut them out, which is the final analysis after all. I expect that my other pitchers will be as successful And don't overlook the fact, either, that my boys batted in three runs against the leading pitcher of the American league ror tne 1920 sea son. The assignment of umpires will govern all succeeding games in the series. The officials will advance from left to right one base for each game. Umpire Connolly of the Ameri can league worked behind the plate this afternoon. O'Day of the National league was at first base; Dineen of the American league at second base and Klem of the National league at third base. According to reports from betting centers there is not nearly so much betting interest in the series as in former years. Cleveland continued to rule a slight favorite to win the series, the odds remaining at 6 to 5.

Low bail, but the brilliant O'Xeil whirled, blocked htm off the plate and then turned in time to handle Johnston's throw from first. Only a great catcher could have completed such a play. For it was a play that called for brawn, brain ana gameness. A lighter man would have been swept from his feet by the Griffithy rushing on slaught, whereas O'Neil was a cross between Sir Rhoderick Dhu and Henry J. Gibraltar when the crash took place. Brooklyn Has Fight Left. The Brooklyn club gave fair warn ing in the second game that it has only begun to fight. Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson, with all the ele ments of fine leadership, has built up a machine that may be outplayed by one that isn't going to crack. Did you know that all through the year Brooklyn only dropped below first or second place once, and that for a brief period lasting only a few days? This is proof enough of J the club's steadiness and steadiness which, linked with a great pitching staff, is a mighty factor. As the cast stands now Speaker has only broken even with his two star pitchers on the job. and Robby has broken even, with Sherrod Smith and Jeff Pfeffer in the stable and with Mamaux and Cadore as fresh as ever. Mails Yet in Reserve. Speaker has Dusty Mails left, but Bagby hasn't been right for over three weeks. So Robinson has all the better of the pitching and yes terday the rest of his ball club looked to be every bit as strong as Cleve land. If Brooklyn can only win one of the next two games she will still have the better of the argument with a fresh pitching staff left to face one that may soon begin to limp. Brooklyn produced a much stronger attack today than the score ehows. Any number of her young men came through with line drives that trav eled unluckily into enemy hands, powerful smashes that might easily have been extra base hits if placed a few feet to the right or left. But it was the Brooklyn defense that counted. In the two games played the Dodgers have made but one- error and that was partly due to a howling gale that befuddled two of her ath letes. There wasn't a slip of any sort in the second battle on Brook lyn's part. The club played winning baseball up and down the batting order. We might as well conclude with the summing up. Brooklyn is on even terms with Cleveland, and while two of Cleveland's best pitchers are temporarily out of the way, Brook lyn has Smith, Pfeffer, Mamaux and Cadore all ready for action with the old hope attached to the fast one and hope still hanging high. Brook lyn has also proved that one of her right handers can chsci the slug ging Cleveland attack where only southpaws were supposed .to have a winning chance.

CLEVELAND. O'.. Oct. 6. It was a different crowd that left the score boards after today's game between Cleveland and Brooklyn than the one which watched the progress of yes terday's contest. The fans were dis appointed, but few of them left until Jamieson had flied to Wheat for the las! out. The crowd had few occasions for cheers. Its greatest hope for victory was in the seventh and eighth in nings. When Graney went in to bat for Bagby in the seventh with two men on bases, the cheering became vociferous, but it soon died to groans when the pinch hitter struck out. It was one of the few times Graney failed to come through in a pinch. In the eighth, after Grimes had walked three men. filling the bases, the fans again had visions of at least averting a shutout, but "Doc" Johns ton was unable to push a run across. About 60 per cent of those allotted reserved seats for the games to be played here called for their tickets today. Several hours before the booths opened at American league park the lines began to form and when the windows were closer! at 5 P. M. there were quite a few who had been unable to get their valued paste boards. In the lines were representa tives of every station of life. There were bankers and bricklayers, law yers and sewer diggers, doctors and street cleaners, with here and there a member of the clergy. At various places in the line were women. The tickets will be obtainable apain tomorrow and Friday. Thousands of requests for tickets from out-of-town fans have been rec ei ved. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of Chicago has wired for hotel reser vations and expects to arrive Satur day. Among others for whom reserva tions have been made are William L. Veeck, president of the Chicago Na tional league club, and George Maines of Flint, Mich., president of the Michi gan and Ontario baseball association. Tris Speaker's mother will come here Thursday from Hubbard, Tex. Swimmers on Hunting Trip. Don Vickers. coach of the Crystal Pool Swimming club of Seattle, and Al Dowsing passed through Portland on their way to southern Oregon yes terday, where they will spend the next two weeks on a hunting trip. Accord ing to Vickers, the Crystal Tool club enjoyed a very successful season last year. The pool is now closed for the winter and will open again for swim ming next April.
