nant Noteworthy One.
CLKVEIAXD, O., Oct. 12. Baseball
champions of the world! The Cleve
land, American leagrue club won that
supreme title this afternoon when the
Indians defeated the Brooklyn Na
tionals in the seventh and deciding
jrame of the 1920 series. 3 to 0. To
nirht Cleveland is celebrating: in a
manner equally in keeping with the
honor, and it is doubtful if a govern
ment proclamation announcing the
selection of this city at the future
capital of the United States would
create a ripple of interest among: the
frenzied fans.
The shutout victory was chiefly en
gineered by Stanley Coveleskie, the
Bpitball hurler, who has proved to be
a. pitcher of remarkable skill and en
durance during the series. Backed
ly an airtight defense by his team
mates at the critical moments, the
Sham ok i n. Pa., coal miner let the
Kobins down with five hits. But two
Brooklyn players reached second base
nd but five were left on bases.
CoveleskJe Frnt Hlntorlc.
Coveleskie's feat in winning three
f the five games necessary to clinch
the championship for Cleveland will
ero down as one of the outstanding
features of world's series history and
one of the most prominent and praise
worthy factors in a struggle which
has furnished more startling inci
dents than any similar series In
years.
The Brooklyn batters accumulated
tut two runs off the moistened slants
of Covey, as he is affectionately
called h&re, in 27 innings in which he
officiated on the hurling mound. He
let the Robins down with one run
In the first contest at Brooklyn on
October 5, allowed them a second
tally on Saturday and shut them out
today. j
It is doubtful if a more masterly
exhibition of pitching has .been
flashed before the fans in any world's
series since 1905, when Christy Math
ewson, then at the zenith of his
twirling career with the New York
Giants, shut out the Philadelphia
Athletics in three games. !
CoveleflkIes Support Fine.
Great as must be the credit ac
corded Coveleskie for his remark
able feat in coming back after but
two days of rest and pitching his
best game of the series, the gen
eral offensive and defensive work
of the other members of the Cleve
land club cannot be dimmed by the
individual glory of their star box
man. The Indians, as a team, grew more
impressive as the series progressed
and their feat in winning four
straight games from Brooklyn after
getting away to an indifferent start
stamps the club as one deserving of
all the support and enthusiasm which
their efforts have evoked in this sec
tion. In shutting out the Nationals in
the final clash, the Indians, led by
Manager Tris Speaker, rose to play
ing heights which bore out the com
plete confidence of the club backers
and fans in their ability to prove
their right to wear the baseball
crown.
Grimes' Splttera Reached.
They reached the spitters of Bur
leigh Grimes, the National league star
deliverer of this type of pitching, for
seven solid hits, clinched the game
before the half-way mark and topped
the play with several pieces of base-
Ball strategy that demonstrated the
possession of mental alertness which
marks the difference between a keen
thinking and mechanical playing
club.
That these outstanding features
were appreciated by the Cleveland
followers of the club and the middle
western section of the country gen
erally has been apparent sfnee the
day the team returned from Brook
lyn. But today the demonstration
which marked the final putout of
Myers and clinched the championship
for the Indians surpassed any simi
lar scene in several seasons. Thou
sands of men, boys and women poured
out of the bleachers and stands and
ngulfed the victorious players like
human avalanche.
Battle Is Continuous One.
It was a continuous battle for the
team in the march toward the dugout,
with scores of fans endeavoring to
Bhake hands or pat them on the back.
Tris Speaker, sensing the coming
outburst of enthusiasm, made a dash
from center field, toward the grand
stand, where his mother and other
relatives occupied a lower tier box.
II us progress was slow, but once he
Teached the rail he vaulted over the
Iron front and into his mother's arms
like a small schoolboy. The scene
was so unusual that for a moment
there was a complete cessation of the
cheering, which, however, broke out
with treble vigor when Mrs. Speaker
bugged, patted and Kissed her gray
haired son, and the latter responded
In a manner which indicated that be
regarded his mother's aproval and
petting far above any other rewards
that might come to him as a result
of the victory of his team in win
ning the greatest honor that can
come to a professional baseball
player.
When Speaker finally left his
another's side and started for the
clubhouse he was fairly besieged by
requests to shake hands and auto
graph programmes and photographs.
When he finaly disappeared into the
passageway of dressing quarters the
crowd swept back to the Speaker box,
where they cheered and demanded a
speech from the mother.
Mrs. Speaker Waves Hand.
Mrs. Speaker met the demands of
the fans by waving her hand and was
soon joined by Owner J. C. Dunn of
the club, who addressed the throng
for her. Charles Kbbets of the
Brooklyn club crossed the field and
congratulated the executive of the
winning team. Then the throngs slow
ly dispersed to discuss at their leisure
the successful climax of Cleveland's
40-year battle for a major-league pen
nant and the world series banner.
That the citizens of Cleveland pro
pose properly to honor the occasion
was shown by a conference held be
tween Mayor XV. S. Fitzgerald and
business men. It was decided tenta
tively to hold a public reception for
the team in the public square within
the next day or two, at which the
populace will be invited to show its
appreciation of the honors which the
team has brought to Cleveland.
The closing act of the super-baseball
drama was staged under Ideal
weather conditions. A sun of mid
summer -strength shone down frcm
, cloudless sky. Every seat and foot
of standing room inside the park was
crowded to capacity long before the
liAGUK PARK, Cleveland. Oct. 12.
Cleveland, the American league
pennant winners, are the world's
la.ball champions of 1920. They de
feated the Brooklyns by a score of
3 to 0 today and won the big cham
pionship in baseball, the big Pole,
Coveleskie, winning his third game of
the series, holding the Brooklyns help
less. The series ended with five victories
for Cleveland and two for the Na
tional league champions.

BY L. H. GREGORY".
YOU have to hand it to this quiet
big fellow of the red flannel un
dershirt, Stanley Caveieskie. of
the Indians, as one of the great
pitchers of world's series history.
Coveleskie is not the first pitcher
by any means to win three games
in a world's series, but the number
of three-time winners is scant enough
to put them in a little niche all by
themselves. The impressive thing
about Coveleskie's work in this series
has been his absolute steadiness at
all times and the fact that far from
being easier o solve he became more
of a puzzle to Brooklyn each time out.
Only two runs scored off him and
a total of just 15 hits in three games,
scattered exactly five to the game,
and the final one a shutout! Jut
one previous performance in a
world's series outshines it for sheer
pitching excellence. That was made
by Christy Matthewson, pitching for
the Giants in 1905 against the Phila
delphia Athletics.
Matty three times in that series
turned back the Athletics by shutout
scores. His first game he won by
3 to 0, his second by 9 to 0, and his
third, the decisive game of the series,
by 2 to 0. In those days of his great
youth Matty had the speed of light
and a marvelous drop that was unhit
table. Incidentally, it was not until
long after, when he was slipping,
that he developed his celebrated fadeaway.
Old "Cy" Toung. the astute, who
pitched to the hatter's weakness,
after losing his start won three games
for the Boston Red Sox against Pitts
burg in 1903. the first year of the
modern world's series. ' Matty took
three from the Athletics in 1905. Babe
Adams, then a youngster just up from
the bushes, but to this day pitching
good ball for the Pittsburg Pirates,
won three for Pittsburg against De
troit in 1909, one being a 4-to-0 shut
out. The scores of the other games
were 4 to 1 and 8 to 4.
These are the outstanding instances
in which one pitcher has won three
world's series games. Truly. Covel
eskie has won for himself a seat with
the mighty.
Coveleskie's great showing was no
surprise to Judge McCredie. "The
Cove" came to Portland in the spring
of 1915 from Spokane and had a great
year. Portland ranked last that sea-
son with a percentage of onlv .402 in i
a six-club league, yet Coveleskie won
17 and lost 17 games for a pitching
average of .500. His showing in runs
responsible for, the real test of pitch
ing effectiveness, was particularly
impressive, considering the fact that
he was on a tail-end team. He al
lowed only 2.68 runs pr game. In
this respect he ranked sixth among
all the pitchers of the league.
"There never was a quieter, easier
player to handle on the payroll of the

teams began their battle, while trees
and house-tops, telegraph poles and
towering advertising signs overlook
ing the park were black with men
and boys who clung to precarious
perches.
The paid attendance was 27,525
and the gate receipts $83,900. It was
the largest attendance and receipts
of any of the seven games.
That those who witnessed the clos
ing contest saw a game of unusual
standard is shown by the b.x score,
but there were features which thrilled
the thousands which cannont be il
luminated by cold figures. Despite
the two errors charged to Shortstop
Sewell, he made two plays which went
far to eliminate his miscues.
Miller's Smash Is Stopped.
In the fifth he stopped Miller's
smash back of second base while on
the dead run and got the batter with
a fine throw to first. In the eame
inning Coveleskie was almost knocked
down by a line drive from Grimes'
bat, but chased the ball half way to
third base and got his man at the
initial bag. In Cleveland's half of the
fifth, Rlghtfielder Griffith made a
thrilling try for Speaker's triple
which scored Jamieson. After a long
sprint he got his finger tips on the
ball just as he crashed into the
stands, but could not hold the hard-
hit sphere.
Second Baseman Kilduff also came
in for a round of applause in the sec
ond session when he came in on the
grass on a full sprint and scooped
MP Smith's bounder which had cleared
Grimes' head by several feet and
while off balance whipped the ball
to Koney for the out.
Cleveland Scores la Fourth.
Cleveland put across the first run
in the fourth Inning. After E. Smith
had grounded out, Gardner beat out a
hit past Kilduff and went to third on
a hit and run play when W. Johnston
singled to right. Sewell flied out
and Johnston followed with a delayed
steal. The ball was slippery and when
Grimes threw to second after taking
Miller's quick return the ball went
wild and Gardner scored.
The Indians annexed their next tally
in the fifth inning. Coveleskie opened
the inning by striking out but Jamie
son came through with a scratch in
field hit. 'Wambsganss flied out and
Jamieson stole second. Speaker fol
lowed with a hard drive against the
newly erected stands in right center
field and Jamieson crossed the plate.
Final Run Made in Seventh.
The final run of the series came
in the "lucky seventh." O'Neill start
ed the inning with a double to left
center, but the plucky little backstop
was run down when Coveleskie
grounded to Grimes. Coveleskie. how
ever, managed to take second while
O'Neill was being retired, and he
romped hnie when Jamieson drove
the ball to right field for two bases.
It had been planned to send "Rube"
Marquard against the Indians in an
attempt to check the winning etreak
of Speaker's men, but owing to the
court action today in which the pitch
er was charged with violating the
exhibition ordinance and fined SI and
costs, Manager Robinson switched to
Grimes in a last forlorn hope.
Analysis of the pitching records to
day indicated that the superior con
trol of Coveleskie was responsible for
his victory, just as it was in the pre
vious two games he won. The Cleve
land hurler kept putting the ball over
the plate and Brooklyn batters were
forced to hit his first offerings.
J Coveleskie pitched only 90 times in
the last nine innings, while Grimes
and Mamaux, the Brooklyn twirlers,
were forced to throw 135 times. Only
21 of Coveleskie's efforts were called
balls, 25 were strikes, eight foul
strikes and three fouls. He retired
12 men on flies and 16 sent out easy
grounders. Five hits were made by
Brooklyn. Coveleskie pitched only
four times in the fourth inning.
The two Brooklyn pitchers sent
over more strikes than Coveleskie
but they also threw many more balls.

CLEVEIiAXD TEAM PRAISED
Brooklyn Manager Says Indians
Deserved to Win Pennant.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 12. "Cleveland
has a wonderful ball club and Tris
Speaker and his men certainly de
serve the splendid support they have
received from the city," Wilbert Rob
inson, manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, said tonight, after his club
had lost the seventh and deciding
contest in the worlds series to the
Cleveland Indians.
"It was a well fought and honestly
played series. We did our best, but
we could not hit Cleveland's pitching.
That's about all there is to say."
Manager KoDlnson denied rumors
that he would manage the New York
American league club next season.
'The owners of the Yankees aren't
negotiating with me and I'm not ne
gotiating with them," he said. "Re
ports that I am going to change
teams are foolish and untrue. I ex
pect to be right back in the National
league next season, piloting Brooklyn
to another pennant."

Portland Beavers," commented Judge
McCredie yesterday. "'The Cove' was
the most absolutely contented man I
have ever seen. He seemed not to
have such a thing as temper or tem
perament. Some pitchers get sore
when their teammates boot away a
ball game. Not Coveleskie. He would
never say a word, just buckle dpwn
and pitch ball. He always wore a
red flannel undershirt and that old
red flag was a real danger sign to
any opposing team. He had tre
mendous speed, a good curve and a
very sharp-breaking spitter.
"The funny part of it is that Walter
McCredie almost had to beg Cleveland
to take Coveleskie. For some reason
or other the Indians didn't seem to
want him, birt they finally took him
and he has been a consistent winner
ever since.
"I can well understand that Cove
leskie should have been at his coolest
and best in the final and deciding
game of the series. I don't believe he
has such a thing as nerves. He al
most never talked. If you would
come up to him and say, "Well, Covey.
how are you today?' he would answer
simply, 'All right.' and that was the
end of the conversation.
Another member of the Cleveland
team. Jack Graney. who was chris
tened John Gladstone but has aban
doned the high-brow nomenclature,
went up to Cleveland 11 years ago
from Portland. Graney was a pitcher
here and a good one. though very
wild. He shot them in from the
south side and had great speed and
a most remarkable curve ball. He
never was able to master control,
however, and when he went to Cleve
land became an outfielder. For 11
years he has been one of the best
fielders and hitters in the business,
but a broken leg has slowed him up
and he was not played regularly in
the big series.
"Graney was another easy player
to handle." said Jirdge McCredie. "a
fine affable little fellow who was a
great favorite with players and fans
alike. When Graney went up to
Cleveland after two years here, he
said to me: 'Judge, when I am
through in the big league. I want to
come back to the Pacific coast league
and play again with Portland. And
when I am through with Portland. I
am going to retire.' Graney is slip
ping now and it wouldn't surprise
me one of these days to get word from
him. He has a lot of baseball left
in him, and nothing would please me
more than to have him with the
Beavers."
And then, of course, there is the
inimitable, irrepressible, effervescent
John Walter "Duster" Mails, who
really broke into the game witli Port
land, but went up to Cleveland from
Sacramento. Mails is a true left
hander. Already in the big league
towns they are calling him "Cuokoo."

CLEVELAND, Oct. 12. Richard
"Rube" Marquard of the Brooklyn
Nationals was fined SI and costs in
the local court here this morning on
a charge of violating the exhibition
ticket ordinance. President Heydler
of the National league, who was in
court with Marquard, stated that a-s
the violation was merely technical
he would take no further action in
the matter.
Marquard asked for a special hear
ing of his case, in view of the fact
that he might participate in today's
contest. Judge Silbert, after listen
ing to testimony of the detective
who arrested Marquard, said he had
been sufficiently punished by the nation-wide
publicity.
Mr. Heydler said he did not believe
Marquard would be in the National
league next year.
"Marquard has hurt Brooklyn and
he has hurt the National league by
his action," said Mr. Heydler. "Base
ball doesn't want men of his caliber
and I don't think he will be back in
th league next season, although 1
probably won't take any official ac
tion myself."
It was brought out during the tes
timony that Marquard had but 2
tickets for the Cleveland games and
that when approached by a Brooklyn
friend who asked him if he had any
for sale, he made a eemi-Joking re
mark that h had, at a price several
times their face value. Marquard's
statement was overhead by a detec
tive, who, when he saw the tickets
in the hands of the pitcher, arrested
him on the charge of speculating.
President Charles Ebbets of the
Brooklyn National league club said
Marquard would never play with
Brooklyn again.
"I'm through with him absolutely,"
said Mr. Ebbets. "He hasn't been
released, however, and if anyone else
wants him they can have him. But
Marquard will never again put. on a
Brooklyn uniform."
Speaker got
after histripb
one of Cleveland s runs, but he drew
even greater applause when he made
two nice running catches in the next
inning.
Jamieson's smash to Grimes in the
third may have weakened the Brook
lyn pitcher some. It caught him
near the wrist, and the hurler de
layed the game several minutes. He
didn't seem to have the same snap
to the ball afterward.
In the fifth Jamieson tooDed one in
(front of the plate. Miller threw high.
and Jamieson reached first while
Konetchy was in the air spearing
the throw.

Elmer Smith with an automobile as a
reward for his home run Saturday.
Fans from Niles, O., presented George
Burns with a gold watch for hi two

and the Cleveland chamber of com
merce gave loving cups two feet high
to Manager Speaker and Owner Jim
Dunn of the Indians. A local fan
gave O'Neill and Coveleskie watches.
In the early Innings Coveleskie did
not use his spitter much. He sent
up wide curves mingled with fast
ones. The Brooklyn batters could not
touch his curve ball. Several let their
bats slip from their hands in swing
ing, and Myers rolled over on the
ground after one swing.
Sewell's error got Coveleskie in
trouble in the third, when he fum
bled with a chance for a double play.
He made up for it. however, with a
great play on Miller's grounder back
of second in the fifth and a whirlwind
stop of Konetchy's grounder in the
ninth, throwing to second for the
final out of the game.
About 2500 persons bought standing
room in the stands and crowded into

Elmer Smith made a nice play on
Wheat's single in the fourth. The
