 Brooklyn's southpaw hurling ace, pitched himself into a place in the worlds series Hall of Fame today when he held Cleveland helpless Tn the third game of the super -pennant struggle. which the National leaguers won, ? to l.
 Smith, who might aptly be termed the stormy petreT' of baseball from the fact that his connection with the Robins is the thirteenth since his de- but on the professional diamond, found this circumstance neither a hoodoo or a handicap. Any jinx lowering around the twirler from Mansfield. Ga, found lodgmentein the ball, which baffled the desperate efforts of the Indian war club swingers throughout the entire nine innings of the game.
 Brilliant Fielding Aids Pitcher
 Smith whose hurling today easily won him a place among the stars of the baseball classic, such as Mathew son, Coombs, McGinnity and Bender of ancient series, was supported by his team mates in a manner which fully equaled the best exhibition Of field ing seen,in many similar conflicts since the national commission assumed a league of nations protectorate over the autumnal struggle of the major league | pt6initES. nS 0uDeTDdS DdCheQ up their pitcher like the secondary de- fense of an all-American football team and it was almost impossible for the ] Cleveland batters to get a drive l through the various combinations which shifted with lightning speed I from place to place wherever the ball was hit.
 Three hits only were made off the winning hurler. ands of these Catcher l O'Neill gathered in two and Manager | Speaker one.
 Speaker made his hit. double. in l the fourth; O'Neill followed with. a single in the fifth and another in the eighth inning Had Zack Wheat played Speakers double safely, Smith would have been credited with a worlds ser les shutout
 Only Five Indians Get to First
 Of the 2S Indians who faced the Robins star left handler, only five reached first. Of these three arrived on hhs and two on passes. Speaker scored for an error. two were left or bases and O'Neill was once the victim of a double play, and Jamieson, whs ran for him in the eighth inning, me q similar fate. Smith hurled 109 ball 10 the visitors, of which % wer, strikes, Al balls foul balls, fouls 5 field outs and IS ground outs. Brook lyn. while never free from the fear O a Cleveland rally, batted it's way tt victory in the first inning. as 1t even, tually proved by falling upon, the puny offerings of Ray Caldwell as soon as h, took his place on the mound. Wha Manager Speaker saw in CaldwelP. curves when the latter warmed up, VII always be a mystery. Certainly ths lanlSy former Yankee had nothing bu Holt hnr-o ffy,,,4 4,f lac, 4N. Of this he had plenty and to spare 4 base on balls, an error and two hit. netted the Superbas ball team two run, that won the game before Speaker could wig wag Ray away and replac. him by Daster Mails, the former Robin T While not as effective as his rival Mails vas not an easy proposition ant backed up by some splendid fielding preFented any further scoring. Bu with the Brooklyn portsider going a the pace he had set for himself tn initial slip of the Cleveland combina tion was his undoing.
 : In many respects the game measured up to the very best contest seen in an, worlds series in many years.
 Oldtime players and followers wer unanimous in this opinion after tn final out had been made. The entir contest, although marred by two error evenly divided. fairly scintillated wit brilliant individual and combination plays which brought the thousands o spectators to the feet repeatedly. Weather Ideal.
 It was the first contest to be playe' in real baseball weather and the fan showed the effects of the more suitabl setting. Not a cloud obscured the SUI and only lazy breeze disturbed tn Indian summer haze The overcoat which the spectators wrapped tightI around themselves during the first tw games were discarded, while occasions purchasers of peanut and pop ginge added a true baseball touch to the pic ture. There was, however, little chang in the collective attitude of the fans a ! ! far as roofing was concerned. Speaker was given the greatest ap :, plause of any individual player. Members of both teams came in fo : repeated cheers following fine play: ? but the roofing which has made othe l. series famous in the past was still miss ing, notwithstanding that the hom ! club was winning and whining repeat fedly.
 The outbursts of applause whic greeted yslne rapidly succeeding feats C
