CLEVELAND "FANS"
BEGIN TO "RO0T"

CLEVELAND. September 24-This city
is beginning to come out of its legargy.
and that portion of the population which
follows base ball is shouting crazy for
Lajoie to bring a championship to Cleve-
land.
The fans" here have been rather prone
to believe that a championship would
never come here. They have seen sew
eral races in which Cleveland appeared
like winners up to the finish. This year,
however they have confidence, and are Of
opinion that the Cleveland boys will play
for the worlds championship.
Cleveland's pitchers are working we'll
and the fielders. too. are travelling in fast
fashion-a combination hard to beat. The
local team appears fast today as any
team in the American League. Elberfeld
thinks Cleveland has an excellent chance
to win. 'Lajoie has a great buncn of
free hitters" said the New York mana
ger, land they are also Fast fielders In
my belief II they win the pennant they
will capture the worlds championship
figure on the fact that the Iost-seaso son
series will be played before such crowds
that ground rules will be necessary and
Lajoie's sluggers should have no trouble
in making several two baggers.
If" continued Elberfeld, "a clear field
was given to the players in a post-season
series, Cleveland would not have chance
against New York or Chicago. Under
perfect conditions Detroit would be a
much better team to represent the Ameri-
can League.
Cleveland's players know little or moth
ing about inside base ball. They are slug
gers from start to finish. On the other
hand. Detroit plays a scientific game. and
is never beaten. The men under Jennings
are kept moving by the same aggressive
ness that keeps the New York Giants on
their toes. Fight and never say die" is

Hughes. the Nationals star right-hander
will hardly perform in another game this
season against the western teams. Mon
day Hughes was served with notice Of his

layoff is a supposed run-in he had with

my belongings and go home. and that's
just what / am going to do.
