CLEVELAND'S FAITH
I TRIBE UNSHAKEN
Fanatical Ohio Rooters Are
Certain of Three Games.
SWAT RASH MAY -APPEAR
Indian Butting Way Below Stan
dard for Season and It May
Be Factor.
BY GRAXTLAXD RICE.
(Baseball Editor. New York Tribune.)
CLKVKL.AND, Oct. 8. (Special.)
The subdued and pensive atmosphere
that hovered over Brooklyn In the
first two frames of the world series
is missing in this throbbing western
citadel that has come upon pennant
Slory for the first time in its history.
Brooklyn may have been a trifle
sombre over baseball in opening day
last Tuesday, but Cleveland isn't.
The overpowering stench from the
frames' greatest ecandal plus two
straight defeats by the hustl'ng
dodgers have failed to suppress the
fanatical ardor in Ohio's metropolis
where they are all looking for Speak
er's slugging sons of swat to take
three out of four and start back for
Brooklyn in the lead. Here you are
In the home of the fan at heart
the old-fashioned fan who is ram
pant and roistering, steeped in the
old-fashioned faith that once be
longed only to the south side rooters
of Chicago before eight crooks and
traitors sold them out. It Is refresh
ing to step from the fog of scandal
Into this buoyant exuberance of a
Jieople who, through their idolatry of
Speaker and his men, still believe in
the game.
Faith May Beat Robbina.
It is with this loyal backing and
support that the Indians will make
their, drive upon home grounds
against the finest pitching they have
faced this year.
"Back home with old Covey ready to
give us another start," is the slogan
of the town. Faith may move moun
tains but will it be sufficient to move
Grimes, Smith, Alamaux, Pfeffer and
Marquard from the road?
You know Cleveland's' answer but
your Uncle ' Wllbert Robinson of
Brooklyn expects to leave here Tues
day night with the series either won
or but one more victory needed to
close out the spectacle.
Brooklyn doesn't expect Coveleskie
to repeat, while Brooklyn is still con
fident that Mamaux or Pfeffer will
pick up where Grimes and Smith left
off.
"They have earned but one run from
our staff in the last 23 innings," re
marked Robby last night, "and we
will have three stars in Mamaux,
Pfeffer and Cadore who have hardly
"warmed up. We can keep feeding
good pitching through every game,
and you know what this means in
any world series."
Svcnt Itaita Expected.
The Indians admit . they were
stopped a trifle abruptly in the -last
two games by Grimes and Smith, but
back at honle, where they have done
their hardest hitting, they expect to
unfurl the old blooie once more and
start another sonorous chorus of re
sounding blows. Not only that, they
expect Coveleskie, Ragby and Mails
to hold the Iodgers in check, where
.the more confident of the clan are
predicting four straight.
Who knows? We don't. All we
know is that so far out of three games
played Brooklyn has put on a stouter,
more consistent defense, and there
neems to be no reason in sight for
this defense to crack. Any club that
can bat .302 through the year, as
Cleveland did, may break out in a
plugging rash at any moment, a rash
of the most virulent type, but this
rash is not lively to last beyond a
game with the pitching it must over
come. And don't forget this outside
of the pitching the Dodgers have
shown unusual defensive strength in
both their infield and their outfield
play. They have shown the strength
of a well trained, well developed ma
chine that knows its business. They
.have in fact shown enough strength
to make them favorites and to give
them the edge.
Brooklyn Gains Confidence.
Cleveland's defensive power isn't
CUlte tin tn thA Rrnnlilvn clanitgrH
with the pitching taken in, so it takes !
no expert vision to suggest that un
less Cleveland can do far better than
earn one run every 23 innings she
.hasn't a chance. This slump isn't
likely to last, of course. No set of
pitchers are going to hold such men
its Speaker, O'Neill, Gardner, etc., spell
bound for eternity. But a slight im
provement in the Indian assault isn't
jroing to help. Brooklyn today is
much more confident than she was at
the start. And if Brooklyn can only
break even in these four games here
ne is a practical cinch to win. Speak
er's big assignment now is to take
three of four if the American league
13 to float the next world series flag.
When Coveleskie steps out against
Mamaux or Pfeffer, the pitching Pole
should win. But with Covey out of
the way and with Smith and Grimes
ready to tackle Bagby and Mails, the
odds are a bit the other way.
World's Series Comment.
World's series games serve to call atten
tion to some of the unusual angles of
baseball. Jimmy Johnston, Brooklyn ln
flelder, is a case in point. Johnston served
two full seasons In the Pacific Coast league
with tian Francisco in 11113 and with
Oakland in 1B15 and local fans know him
veil, but not as an infieluer. Johnston held
down the outer field in his halcyon days
and went up to the big leagues two or
three times as a gardener before finally
hv maue kuuu wun -itrooKiyn.
His first major league experience was
wun me nue wox in lyil. Be was i
turned to the Birmingham club of the
Southern league In mid-season. In 1913 at
Han Francisco Johnston established his
remarkable record of 14 Btolen bases and
hit .304, so the White Sox took him up
again the next spring. Johnston didn't
eeeni to be able to strike his batting stride
and after a year In the majors the Sox
pent ntm Daca to tjaKland, still as an out
fielder.
Johnston batted .3 IS for the Oaks and
stole 82 bases and then jumped to the
Federals and it was undttr the peace pact
that Brooklyn gained possession of the
player. How Johnston happened to move
In to third base alter many years in the
outfield we do not know. Certainly It la
rather unusual and the more so because
be seems to be able to hold his own with
the really great thlrd-sackers of the major
leagues.
m
Hill Speas once put over a good one on
Johnston, in the rail or lwid, when Joh
Hton was dusting around the bases for the
Heals like a jack rabbit, it was thought
An almost impossible feat to head him
off once he made up his mind to steal' a
base.
Catchers used to hold staff meetings be
fore the games to devise methods, but
Johnston sailed merrily onward, adding
each day to nts record or mens, one ar
ternoon at San Francisco Jimmy cracked a
single to right field. Imagine the amaze
xnent of the crowd when Speas tore in.
took the ball on the first bound like an in
fielder and threw Johnston out at first
base.
Speas executed the same play three
times during the game, Johnston falling
again In the sixth or seventh Inning. Jim

lIlS ABSORBING
HOME CONFIDENCE
Cleveland Radiates World Se
ries Atmosphere.
PSYCHOLOGY IS WORKING
Result of Four Games Held to De
pend Greatly on Manner of
Brooklyn Reaction.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 8. Safely en
camped upon their own reservation
the Cleveland Indians, American
league pennant winners, will renew
their battle for world series baseball
honors tomorrow. The Brooklyn Na
tionals, conquerors of the Speaker
tribe In two out of three of .the east
ern games, are likely to find their
rivals a far different combination
from that which fell twice before the
attacks of the Robins at Ebbets field.
Cleveland fairly radiates confidence
tonight and the Indians cannot fail
to be inspired to greater baseball play
by the calm assurance and backing
which refused to concede further de
feat for the home team. Every atom
of world series atmosphere, so utterly
lacking during the first three con
tests In Brooklyn, has reappeared at
the western end of the circuit. Cleve
land and its citizens are prepared to
show the baseball world what home
backing and rooting will do toward
uplifting the players' morale and put
ting a winning punch into their at
tack. All City In Race.
The world's series Is an event not
to be considered lightly in this section
of the United States of America. ' The
honor of winning a major league pen
nant and the opportunity to compete
for the championship of the baseball
universe is not a c'ub affair. It is a
community and civic matter of pride
and co-operation. Consequently Cleve
land has seen its duty and is doing It
in a. manner befitting the responsi
bilities of the occasion.
The Cleveland club must win the
game tomorrow. On the diamond the
average citizen cannot help, but up
to the moment the umpire calls "play
ball" he can so charge the atmos
phere with winning psychology that
defeat for the invaders is but a mat
ter of routine performance. This is
his duty as he sees it, and it Is being
done with a thoroughness and effi
ciency which bodes ill for the Robins,
unless they are impervious to the
mental blight of old Doc Psychology,
upon which learned college profes
sors and other intellectuals place such
reliance.
Loyal Fans Get Help.
Cleveland has concentrated her
mind upon winning, and for fear that
the community mind may not bear
overwhelmingly upon Uncle Robbie
and his eastern upstarts, the entire
Great lakes and middcle-western sec
tion is rushing to its assistance. At
least this is true of that portion of
the male population which believes
or hopes it has an outside chance of
hotel accommodation or foothold In
side the Indians' ball park. Hotels
are swamped" by the rush of fans from
other cities and ticket speculators
take their lives in their hands every
time they show the corner of a seat
coupon peepinjr from their pocket.
Although the baseball amphitheater
holds less than 30,000 spectators,
fully half of that number of out-of-town
fans are here tonight clamoring
for a place to sleep and a chance to
buy a ticket at any price. Rooms are
unavailable except in private houses,
for every hotel Is quartering twice its
normal quota. Tickets can still be
had, but at a high cost. Single seats
for Saturday's contest were offered
for sale at from $15 to $35, according
to location. Despite the efforts of
the club officials to discourage the
practice, sales were readily made all
afternoon and evening in the spread
between these figures.
Indiana Absorb Confidence.
In such an atmosphere of enthusi
asm it is not surprising that the spir
its of the badly clawed Indians should
revive promptly upon their arrival
here today. Chief Tris Speaker and
his warriors, once they felt the fa
miliar trails under their spiked moc
casins, chanted their war cry with re
newed vigor and proclaimed that a
Cleveland Indian is never defeated
until his scalplock is lost.
Wilbert Robinson, the Robins' lead
er, and h's Brooklynites were out for
preliminary maneuvers in the Cleve
land wigwam this afternoon. All he
would say was: "We have the winning
edge and expect to hold it."
Many followers who have viewed
the battles to date with Impartial eyes
express the opinion that the super
pennant will be won and lost back
on the plains of Brooklyn. Those who
lean strongly to the belief that the
home team will win out here give the
Indians three games and the Robins
one. which will still s.nd the players
back to the east for the final battle.
Much is expected to depend upon
the manner in which the Brooklyn
players react to the real world series
rooting, which they are sure to en
counter at the coming games.
Speaker Is expected to start Covel
eskie who turned back the National
leaguers in their first rush for the
championship. The latter has had
three days" rest and is reported to
be eager to repeat his initial victory.
Robinson will probably select either
Jeff Pfeiffer or Al Mamaux.
Cincinnati to Have Probe.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 8. Inasmuch as
essential parts of the alleged con
spiracy between gamblers and eight
White Sox players were believed to
have been formulated in Cincinnati,
Judge E. T. Dixon, in the criminal
court today, instructed the grand Jury
to investigate those phases of the al
leged plot.
WOMEN GOLFERS III FINAL
MISS STIRLING AXD MRS. HURD
TO PLAY FOR TITLE.
Champion Uncovers Some Stirring
Shots in Eliminating Former
National Expert.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 8. Miss Alexa
Stirling of Atlanta, women's national
golf champion, and Mrs. J. V. Hurd
of Pittsburg won their way into the
finals of the national championship
today by defeating Mrs. C. H. Van
derbeck of Philadelphia and Mrs.
David Gaut of Memphis in stirring
matches.
Miss Stirling won her match, 2 and
1, while Mrs. Hurd was forced to the
eighteenth green before she was 2
up. Both matches were replete with
sensational shots and great recov
eries. Miss Stirling got a new wo
man's record for the Mayfield course
when she turned in an 80 for the
round, playing out the second nine for
her medal score.
In the first half of her match with
Mrs. Vanderbeck the champion had
everything her own way, being 3 up
at the turn. Her play in the first half
was characterized by long drives,
perfect approaches and accurate putts.
Her medal at the turn was 39, includ
ing 16 putts.
Then the game took a sudden re
versal and Mrs. Vanderbeck evened
the match on the fifteenth by making
some brilliant chip shots dead to the
pin and sinking several difficult
putts.
Her first win was on the tenth,
which she took with two putts for a
five. Miss Stirling used three. On the
eleventh Mrs. Vanderbeck used only
one putt, a ten-footer. After halving
the next three, the Phlladelphian sank
another long one for a four and the
hole, evening the match.
Miss Stirling won the sixteenth by
driving the 395-yard green In two,
but it was on the seventeenth that
her championship ability was best
shown. The champion and contender
both put their tee shots into the
right back trap and were on In 2 and
3, respectively, Mrs. Vanderbeck hav
ing a lie 18 feet from the pin. She
sank the ball, leaving the titleholder
a 12-foot putt to win the match at
that point. Sink it she did without a
tremor and Mrs. Vanderbeck lost her
chance to contend for the title she
once held.
Mrs. Gaut played Mrs. Hurd a bet
ter match than was expected and was
one up on her at the turn. But Mrs.
Hurd rallied and was one up at the
seventeenth, which was halved. Both
came to the eighteenth with fours,
but Mrs. Hurd holed her putt while
Mrs. Gaut missed by a email margin.
MAXY PHEASANTS BAGGED
Union County Prepares to Stock
Fields for Coming Year.
LA GRANDE, Or. Oct. 8. (Special.)
Even though the China pheasant
season is only of ten days' duration in
Union county, ranks of the chinas
will be much depleted this year, for
hunters have been numerous. It has
often occurred that 18 or more hunt
ers were in one 80 or 120-acre field
at the same time.
A large number of farmers have
posted signs prohibiting hunting. As
a starter toward enlarging the pheas
ant family for next year, five dozen
chinas will be released as soon as the
season closes Sunday.

Once upon a time the theatrical stars

It was Wednesday night in Montreal.
Joe Stetcher and Wladek Zbyszko wrestled
two hours to a draw.
ITo be Continued.)
Baseball scribes, as well as athleteB.
sometimes pull une;Tected plays. One of
them came to bat with a vital series when
we were all set for a crucial one.
Jack and Georges.
When the wide and stormy ocean
Rolled between these sturdy men
They were pulsing with the notion
Of a fistic battle then.
i Now we find them close together.
Almost meeting face to face.
And they talk about the weather
And the presidential race.
Messrs. Dempsey and Carpentier remind
one of a well-known beverage so near
and yet so far.
Moses Yellowhorse. having galloped into
big league baseball, the scribes naturally
will proceed to ride him.
"The way to beat Jack Dempsey," re

Achilles.
Achilles sulked within his tent
In days of long ago.
He was a foolish sort of gent;
His brow was hard and low.
But boxing champs have changed, some
how. And you can see Achilles now
Exhibiting his slanting brow
In yonder movie show.
The Near Champ.
He was a vision of delight
A week or two ago.
They watched him training for the fight
And scanned his every blow.
They watched him Jogging on the road.
They watched him in the ring.
And wondrous was the strength he showed
In every hook and swing.
They watched him knock his parners flat
Upon the padded floor.
And marveled as the canvas mat
Grew red with human gore.
And as his good right mit was sped
Against his partner's chin
That boy is there!" the experts said;
"He has a chance to win."
And when the day of battle came.
He felt a fearful clout.
And, like a candle's flame
He straightway petered out.
And when the blow had laid him low
And put him in a trance.
The experts said: "I told you so.
He never had a chance!"
Gambling.
'I never bet." the pitcher said.
"Upon a baseball strife, 1
But when I pitch to George H. Ruth
