YOpK, Oct. 2. Cleveland
A haa entered the list of American
league oltlee which have won league
Championships, and Trie Speaker
-can have anything In Cleveland he!
' wants, front the statue of Mark
Jlanna down.
Kerw Trls accomplished a thing that
. had been written down in the minds of
Cleyelarfd fans as an ' impossibility la
Something of a mystery, but SJP did it
r mainly because he was able to faith
fully guard his team against a perslst
ent Jinx that ha followed the club from
t the time Ban Johnson located It In the
- Voreat city. Borne brilliant manager
'have guided the destinies of the Cleve
land team, and some of the greatest ball
1 players baseball ever saw have served
, J their stardom In that city. Tst every
I year some conspiracy of fate has taken
! a pennant out of the olty.
BECOTER8 FROM BLOW
Ray Chapman, a brilliant shortstop,
was killed this year, and for a time it
seemed impossible for the team to re
cover from, that blow. But the smiling
confidence of Speaker, his ability to
make his players rise to great heights,
saved the day. Chapman's death only
delayed the day for cinching the flag.
Larry Lajote, famous seoond baae
. man, tried hard to manage the old Naps
'Into a pennant He was a star player,
but not much shucks aa a manager. Jo
Birmingham, a really amart manager
and a good ball player, tried it with
a star team and failed. Lee Fohl, who
eruoceeded Birmingham, was an extra-
'(ordinary developer of young- talent, and
'he had some wonderful ball players. he
didn't have to develop; but he, too, fell
down on the job.
iCWI JtTDGMZJfT BEST
It vnow is generally known that
'l Speaker was Offered the job of manag
ing the Indiana In the winter of 1911-19,
but turned down the proposal. He de
clared he didn't believe It did a player
!ny good ,to assume a managerial bur
Irfan and at nr tinned the belief that he

playing centerfield and hitting the ball.
He didn't convince James C. Dunn,
owner of the club, and the Cleveland
fans, however. They persisted in their
efforts to get Speaker to take the job,
and he finally consented, in the middle
of the 1919 summer, when Lee Fohl sud
denly resigned.
Right here the fortunes of the Indians
turned. From an apparently apathetic
good baseball team the men turned them
selves into a club of raging ngnters, ana
they made the White Sox step right
lively at the end of the season to win
am pennant. in, bbuuu mi
'over before the Sox finally won the game
I that put them out of reach of the
' Speaker ensemble.
SPEAKER GETS TEAMWORK
Speaker's showing with the team In
the latter part of the season drew the
attention of the critics as nothing else
could have, so he was started off this
season with the assurances of the critics
that he would win the pennant with his
team. And he haa.
' It la a sort of brotherly love thing that
'has worked this miracle for Cleveland.
. There isn't a member of the Cleveland
team who won't practically swear that
Speaker Is the best pal he ever had. . He
eats, sleeps and talks baseball with the
men he .- directs. He gets every last
ounce of energy out of his men. and
they play ball the Speaker way. After
all, it la teamwork that counts in base
ball rather than the intricate baseball
pussies a manager figures out, and
Speaker has proved himself an adept
at getting this sort of cooperation.
Speaker's fears that managing the
club would Interfere with his hitting
and fielding were fully refuted by his
. averages for the season. He has fielded
In the sensational style that only Speak-
er ean flash and his hitting is nearly 100
points better than in 1919. '
ONE OF GREATEST
Speaker Is one of the greatest ball
players the game has ever seen. He
generally is referred to as the personi
fication of grace as a fielder, but his
.hitting also leaves little to be desired.
When a man can hit nearly .400 through-
out a season it is pure knowledge of
how it is done and not a lucky way of
driving a ball. Speaker is that kind of
a hittea. In addition, he is one of the
beat run getters In the American league,
has led the circuit narly all season in
the matter ot driving in runs and is a
base runner of great skill.
Speaker was sold to Cleveland by
,the Boston Red Sox for a cash consid
eration of $50,000 and three .ball play
iers. He was sold to the Red Sox by
jthe Little Rock club Of the Southern
league for $600. As a matter of fact he
J 'was sent to Little Rock in payment
I for rental of 'the Little Rock park used
I by the Red Sox as a training field, but
j when he touched up the ball for a .860
I average that year he was quickly called
to the majors.

SCANDAL WILL NOT

KILL BOYS' FAITH

BT BLLLT STJIf DAY
(Written for the United Press.)
. ICoyiTright 1920, by United Press.)
(The following was written by "Billy" Sunday,
f'.moue evangelist and former baseball iter, when
vked to explain tha reaction the baseball seaadal
will hare on the American boy.
Roanoke, Va., Oct I. (U.. P.) The
heart of the average American boy will
cherish bitter enmity toward the das
tardly gambling Interests that corrupted
his baseball idols.
But no boy will say today he has lost
faith In baseball. He is just one more
factor of a public eager to repudiate the
slightest suggestion of dlshoneBty and
anxious to back up the efforts to main
tain for baseball the reputation it has
had for years clean, on the square,
wholesome and distinctively American.
Disloyalty and dishonesty did what an
the sluggers in the American league
could not do: Drive Eddie Clcotte from
the box.
Thus one of the idols of American boy
hood fell from his pedestal of fame.
To my mind this constitutes one of
the saddest features connected with the
baseball scandal. Even this, however,
will not rob the average boy of his In
terest in and love for baseball. Boys go
in to win. No suspicion of crookedness
evf enters their heads. It is the hard
est thing under ths sun to corrupt a boy
so that he will lose a race or throw a
game.
Thousands of youthful players on the
city lots and members of the country
town teams from coast to coast will see
tn the baseball scandal only proof of the
things they have always believed :
That you can't play the game crooked
and win.
That murder will out.
And that you can't mix in bad com
pany and get away with it

Ball Calamity Foreseen

Comiskey
; By George Bertz
TID THE3 major league club owners foresee the calamity brought upon
America's greatest pastlrnt baseball by the greed of players for gold
and made public through the revelations of the Cook county grand jury In
Chicago?
There is one thing that has happened ibis season that prompts the
writer to answer in the affirmative. That is the great number of young
tossers being grabbed; from, tbe rfmaller circuits, not from class AA clubs,
but from those that have sprung into existence sinceathe close of the war.
Ivory hunters of the majors have picked up all available prospects and as
the result of the scandal it is likely that more will be purchased at the
start of next season.
The findings of the grand jury, which
may mean the end of the careers of
the seven members Of the Chicago
Americans, among whom are some of
the most brilliant performers in the
game, gave baseball the worst black
eye it ever received. But out of it
will come a clean oraanlsatlon that
will prosper and have the moral sup
port of every true sportsman.
COMISKEY TRUE SPORT
Charles Comiskey, who has spent
practically all his life in baseball,
proved himself a sportsman of true
blue type when with a single state
ment,, after indictments were voted
against seven of his players, he com
pletely wrecked a club that he had
spent thousands of dollars in building.
It may be many seasons befoVe
Comiskey is able to land stars like

N'
EW YORK. Oct. t. The Indians
should win.
A brace of reasons superiority in me
chanical play and the strangest lucky
streak in baseball history make it look
as if the tribesmen of Trls Speaker will
smash the Dodgers into rather easy de
feat in the Blue Ribbon battling which
has its inaugural Tuesday.
The- Indians seem to be "men of des
tiny," a club seemingly chosen by fate
to triumph in its every fight in 1920.
AH through the year it has been lucky
in the strangest sort of way! And there
Is nothing to Indicate a belief other than
that It will carry them through to the
absolute crest of the baseball world. ,
Wftr OYER GREAT TEAMS
But beyond being lucky the Indians
have greatness a mechanical skill and
power beyond that of their rivals.
Viewed from every angle the Indians
sttll must be reckoned as one of the
best all-round ball clubs that ever
climbed to pennant heights. It has no
real imperfection, it has many perfec
tions, i
And it's a team that won after one of
the greatest and gamest fights in history

too but the glory of their achievement
is less brilliant than that of the Indians.
For the Dodgers didn't win simply be
cause they were great but, rather be
cause the opposition which they faoed
was infinitely weaker than the White
Sox-Yankee combination which the In
dians had to overthrow.'
DODGERS HAVE FIGHT
Internal dissensions wrecked the
Cubs early in the year and put them
out of the fight. The same fatal ail
ment put the skids under the repeated
hopes of Pat Moran and the Cincinnati
rooters. And the Giants were almost
hopelessly out of the fight before John
McOraw could rebuild a club which gave
the Dodgers a terrific fight lnthe clos
ing weeks of the campaign.
Without attempting to detract from
the splendid work of Wilbert Robinson
and his band of game, courageous, pep
pery fighters, it can be said that theirs is
a victory not so much by greatness, but
rather through the misfortune of other
leaders.
Measured as a unit, or compared man
for man. the Indians edge the Dodgers
in practically every department of play.
The Indians have a swatting mark of
.104 compared with the .278 average of
their rivals. The Indians have scored
approximately 850 runs, while the Dodg
ers' total is about 650 for the same
number of games.
The Indians lead in base stealing, they
lead tn fielding, they lead in the mat

lead again in the minority of losses.
And, when one sifts to pitching, the In
dian "aces" have complied averages

Robinson will hurl into ths fray.

GAMBLERS DETRIMENT
Comiskey Is to be commended for his
sacrifice. Fans throughout the country
sympathise with him, yet praise him for
his actions in disposing of the players
who m time held the respect of thou
sands upon thousands of fans. The
confidence in these players has been
shattered and a black mark, which
cannot easily be erased, is opposite their
names all this caused by the greed
for "easy" money placed within their
grasp by gamblers, who are a detriment
to every kind of sport competition. The
gambler is not a booster of the sport
rion of world series performances. But
what the regulars do has some definite
bearing on predictions. And when one
compares the men on both teams who
are certain to figure tn nearly every
battle the "edge" in offensive play
again belongs to Cleveland.

STAFF IS READY
So it can be teen that the Indians'
regulars have banged out more home
runs, have purloined more sacks, and are
outfitting the Dodgers' regulars by the
comfortable margin of 37 markers in the
world of bludgeoning.
FhJfting to the flingers:
Bagby. Coveleskie, Caldwell and Malls
undoubtedly will carry the brunt of the
Indians' defensive burden. On the oppo
sition firing line will be Grimes, Smith,
Marquard and the choice between Pfef
fer, Cadore and Mamaux. All things
considered individually and as a group
the Indians again have an apparent
advantage.
Bagby has pitched marvelous base
ball throughout the year. Coveleskle's
work has been no lees brill in t but his
string of victories has not been so great
because he is "baseball's touch-luck"
finger. Marila, the southpaw, has per
formed in herculean fashion since join
ing the Indians and stacks up as the
best southpaw pitcher In tha game
bkred on his work through the waning
days of the season and Caldwell is a
wonder in relief work.
GRIMES SEAL STAR
Grimes is the star of Robinsons
group ; a great pitcher at times, but un
reliable at others. Smith, of the south
paw arm. carae through in wonderful
style during the final month and may
bo the star flinger of the Dodger group.
Pfeffer isn't aa good as he used to be.
Mamaux has been a bit unsteady and
doesn't seem able to go the en lire route.
The same applies to Marquard and Ca
dore. Maybe they'll reform as the series
begins. If they don't, the hodcarrying
will be up to Grimes and Smith. And
the pair of them can't win a nine-game
series unassisted.
Mechanically then and based on pre
series dope alone the Indians look like
winners. They have the apparent "edge"
in nmchine power. And they have some
thing else a something that will furn
ish the basis for tomorrow's story.

EX'BEAVEBS IK OAMES
Portland fans are pulling' for Cleve
land to win, although Brooklyn has its
followers here. The connection between
the Portland and Cleveland clubs of
several years ago created a kindly .feel- .
ing for the Forest olty sggregatlon. The
fact that four former Beavers have
aided the Indians in reaching the top
is another thing that has caused the ,
fans to lean towards Cleveland. These
players are Welter Malls and Coveles
kie, pitchers! -Oraney and Evans, out
fielders. Ivor Olson and "Chuck' Ward,
former Portiaadera, are with Brooklyn.
Though ar away from the big league
battle gt. Xa, the writer is of the
opinion tV Vthe Indians havs ths
smoother Ottos two clubs, although he
will admit that Brooklyn has a cracker-.
jack pitching staff, all big men who
have handled themselves well. Cleve
land's victory in the American rsceV
over a bunch of stronger and better
balanced clubs than those in the Na
tional league Is a mark In its favor
when it oomes to picking the winner.
