Mammoux are regarded as the most
likely candidate for box work for the
BrookIyns tomorrow. General opinion
seemed to lean to Marquard, who has
pitched first class ball in both his pre-
vious appearances.
Today's game was played in 1875
the fastest game of the series.

LEAGUE PARK, CLEVELAND,
strategically than at any time since
the 1920 series began, Cleveland's
rampaging Indians set out today to
finish the job of crushing the cham
pionship ambitions of the Robins.
With the count three and two and
two more games to be played in this
baseball crazy town. the Indians con-
fdently attested their ability to make
it four straight and end the series on
their own lot. With "Duster Mails"
ready to work today, if called upon,
and Coveleskie in reserve for tomor-
row, Speaker undoubtedly was "sit-
ting pretty so far as his pitchers
were concerned, and furthermore, he
was leading club that has gone bat
crazy.
Behind the Indians were one Of the
widest mobs of baseball fans that
ever sat in at a worlds series.
The weather continued warm and an
overcast sky with gray clouds was
being dispersed by a stiff wind, which
swept across the playing field. Swirls
of dust were kicked up in the inield
and during the practice the players
frequently were compelled to stop
work to get the dus, ouy of their eyes.
Sherry Smith will pitch today's
game for Brooklyn, Manager Robinson
said shortly after he reached the fields.
Mails was the most likely Indian Sc
lection, Speaker declared about the
same time, though the Indian manager
still said he might give Caldwell
another chance.
When the Indians took the field for
their batting practice. they were given
a great demonstration.
Jim Bagby one of yesterdays he
roes. went into the left field to chase
flies. He was almost mobbed by a
gang of enthusiastic admirers.
In spite of the stiff wind blowing in
from right field, Elmer Smith propell-
ed a prodigeous driver over the wall,
in exactly the same spot where his
record home run was made yesterday.
The stands were packed by the
time the Robins went in for batting
practice. Robinson hit to the infield
with Kruger working at the plate.
Sheehan started the workout at third
base, while Olson and McCabe alter
mated at short. Neis and Griffith
were in right field.
Just before the Cleveland club
went out to practice, Mayor Fitzger-
aid OF Cleveland presented Wamby
and Smith with diamond studded
watch fobs, the gift Of Cleveland
fans. Mails, for Cleveland, and
Smith, for Brooklyn, warmed up alone.
Kruger worked with Smith and
Nunamaker received from Mails.
The Indians infield was given a
riotous ovation when they trotted out
to their positions.
Umpire Connolly drew a shout
when he came from the Indians dug
out and poured basketful of balls
into their receptacle near the home
plate.
The ground-keepers then took over
the field and repaired the chalk lines
and filled UP the little holes about
the plate which were left by the bat
ting practice
The usual formalities were ex-
changed among the managers and
umpires.
Cleveland batteries: Mails and
O'Neill.
