And so they tanned old Grimes' hide And salted down the sSin. His slants were swift and up-to-date. Of that there is no doubt. But when they came across the plate The Indians slammed thera out. At that we lift our hat to Grimes.

He had a world of stuff: They only nicked him seven times But that was quite enough. A BROKEN REED. When a guy of Robbie's displacement leans too hard on his pitching staff something is going to crack. All of which proves that the bat is mightier than the staff. The Robins will return to Brooklyn alone as per their announcement, but not as conquering heroes.

and some of the drives that the National League rooters considered as errors were recorded as safeties, yet the club's hurling was sufficient to win out. despite its seeming defensive weakness. Yesterday's contest reflected the real reason why the Indians won. Strange to say. this reason was In contrast with the argument that was targed In favor of the Dodgers by most National League supporters pitching.

Before the series began It was the professional argument that the Robinson team's hopes rested fcpon its pitching superiority. As the games worked out it was the Indians hurl ing that won. against Indifferent pitching by the National Leaguers, Brooklyn yesterday, ss In every' game but one. was decisively outhit. The vaunted Brooklyn hurlers.

with the exception of the second and third games, were not as effective as the Indian pitchers.

Testerday's game needs little renewal to disclose the reason why the Indiana won. Despite some glaring fielding errars, the Indians bunched their hits at times, when the opportunities were favorable for scores.

Both clubs made plays that made the Roquefort family welcome the new Fromage members, but In the malr. it was the Indians' ability to bunch hits in sequence that netted its runs. Brooklyn, as in all the local strug- i I By Ring CLEVELAND. Oct. 13.

I The Master Minds met in the middle of the diamond and Had a long-argument about witch was the surest and safest to let Gardner score and settle the serious. They decided to leave Doc try a delayed steal and Miller was to throw the ball back to Grimes and Grimes was to throw it wild to center field.

The strategy-worked like a charm. The game went along kind ef slow because in the world serious this year the umpires throws a new ball out every other pitch so as to not leave any one ball in there long enough to get contaminated. And every time they was a r.ew ball throwed to Grimes he took off hi glove to shake hands with it so as he wouldn't half to say "Please excuse glove." Immediately after the battle they was a mad scramble on the field for possession of the bail that was in play at the tinish. I did not take part in this episode. Monday right, witch was our last night In Cleveland, they was a special midnight show put on at the Prospect Theater for the visiting newspapermen and other stray bugs.

The headlint-r of the show was Johnny Kilbane. who was makeir.g his debut as a actor. It was thought advisable to treat us to the sight cf a champion fighter as the serious has seemed so lonesome without Abe AttelL. The Story of tle Play. Well.

Johnny was the leading man in a play in witch they was 4 other characters. The plot was follows: The gal's father said he had a friend name Johnny Kll-ban who was a fighter. The gal said that all fighters was rough necks and bad eggs and she didn't want to associate with none of them. So the old man said that Johnny wasn't no rough neck and he would have Johnny prove it to her. So a meeting between them and dureing the introductions the plot got lost.

Johnny sung and danced and played the violin and leave me assure Henry Caruso and Carl Randall and Mike Elman that Johnny is still the featherweight boxer of the world. The funniest lines tn the play wa supplied by Loud voices In the audience. One of them was "We want liquor." an I it went big. Well, the seriou is over and the ut of town boysj Is starting home tonight. The boys from Brooklyn is not down hearted.

They go home singing, with Rube Mar-quard as soloist. His selection is "So This Is the End cf a Perfect Left-Hander." Cleveland Is sorry to see us lave. that is. all of Cleveland except the Entertainment Committee for the vUiting firemen. These birds hasnt been to be-d sln" te iar.g got here.

presi dent of the National League, "Rube" Marquard officially is "through" as a member of the present champions of that league.

It would never, never do for the handsome Georges to stick that i tongue out while listening to the I whistle of J. Dempsey's uppercuts, As a matter of fact it would be well for M.

Georges to let Dempsey very much alone. He would not get very i far with the champion. He is too small, and his stamina, as compared to Dempsey's. Is that of a weakling But there is this: Carpentier can hit like the Jolt from the butt of a iA- oriage pue uiia niru anu irua. la essentially a hitter.

Reams Boosts Carpentler. Jack Kearrs, manager of Jack Dempsey. said that Carpentler is all I that Europe said he was. In my opinion Ik Is one the greatest hitter In the world. Of: all the men that walk the earth be can give the champion a tussle.

Levinsky for a time withstood Car-pentler's killing clouts. Every time Carpentier landed Levlnsky's knees would knock together and he would sag dangerously near the floor. As Levinsky sat in his corner at the end of the stormy second round his sec- onds discovered that his right glove I had gone wrong. His thumb was protruding and the referee called for a new golve. Little Descamps.

manager of the Frenchman, and Carpentier. toa. bawled lustily against any changing of knuckle covering at this' critical stage. Carpentler felt that he had Levinsky at his mercy and he didn't want anything to thwart his purpose. "No! No.

they yelled in as' Jack Britton. one of Levi ask su e- i onds. insisted on a new clove. The bell rang in the middle of it all and Carpentler. believing that oit might yet be ordered, fairly flw out of his chair at the weakened Lein-j sky.

He battered away like a fiend in this round, trying t3 make, a good Job of what had gone befora. Levinsky was equal to the task of! him were out of proportion to the merits of his hurling, although the scores cannot be officially criticised. Throughout the contest he was first-class pitcher, but one just a shade below Coveleskle. Brooklyn's safeties off Coveleskle saw only two of them come together. That happened In th third inning.

Details would be futile because the Brooklyn retirements were due entirely to the remarkable work ef Covte. And this was In tho face of soma discouraging defense by his team mates. To those who have seen only the Cleveland end of this sarles. the wonder arises where Brooklyn ever had a chance. In the face of an admitted shortage of pitchers and a manual weakness on defense as substantiated In the records, the Cleveland club swattod its way to a victory In the serle, by winning four successive contests.

BrMklfa Oatetaaneal. As far as has been seen In the Cleve- land games, the local club outpitched. outhit and outfought its enemy, and i If it did not have a better fleldimr record It wss due to the presence In tho game of a player whom circumstance Injected at the lajit moment owing to the death of Chapman. Is not meant to speak disparagingly of Sewell. who.

aithouarh he made manual miaplays. heartened his pitchers and teammates throughout th four contests played here by many reallv sensational efforts, plays that would do credit to the Bobby Wallaces and other heroes of days agon. There is not th slightest doubt but that Sw. today th confidence of his teammates Th series passes Into history as! on ef th faw in which th pitching prediction was reversed. With onlyl thre real pitchers to start th series, th breaks cam so that It was mad: pcsalbl for th Indians to us thlr! acas at th critical times and with th bst results.

i Th National League superiority In! hurlers. too. may be seriously ues-' ttoned. sine, after all. the result re- fleets th Indians' ability to put across th neded punch whl- th Brooklyn so manifestly lacked.

Over this f.gure will be displayed the Texas state emblem but as Spoke wasn't the Lone Star on the team yesterday, it will be necessary to hang the flags up on a pole in honor of Coveleskle. Well, first and foremost leave us first get the story of the game off our reeking chest. The game showed the value of a big pitching staff in a world serious.

The experts that picked Brooklyn to cop pointed out that Robbie had 9 pitchers and they was all aces, er one more ace than thev is in a pinochle deck when the White Sox aint playing. Robbie's Deuce Wild. Well, when it come down to picking his ace for this croocial brawL he picked Burly Grimes that hadn't pitched since Sunday.
