The Plots. Mails, Home Town Hero.
Outeast, Returns To Show

By HAROLD D. JACOBS,
Omitted Press Stan Correspondent.

New York, Oct. THE Brooklyn
fans turned out today not only to
see the third game of the world
series with their team battling on
even terms, but to witness the final
act of one Of those old time "meller-
dramars."
You know the plot: The young
hero, unable to get a start in the
home town, is driven by the 1ibes' of
his neighbors to seek his fortune
in the city. In few years he
makes a spectacular rise and when
the eyes Of the world are focused
on him he returns to the old home
town to show of before the folks.
Hero, Walter Mails.
In this version the hero is Wal
ter Mails. the sensational southpaw
pitcher Of the Indians, A few years
ago he was tried out by the Dodgers,
found not guilty of being a big
league player and was turned
adrift. Cleveland found him in the
Pacific Coast league just before the
close of the season, bought him, and
he startled the baseball world by
turning in six straight victories.
Now he is back in the old town and,
according to the dope. was sched-
uled to show of today.
The desire of the Brooklynites II
see Mails in action was evidenced
during yesterdays game. Several
times when Jim Bagby faltered
Mails was sent out to the bullpen
to warm pp anu each time great
numbers of the fans shouted
Mails! Mails!"
Fans Come To Life.
The fans showed so much i'm
proyement yesterday over their
first days form that they were al
most normal. Many of them ever
forgot themselves to the extent Of
cutting loose with a few real yells
The usual noise-making devices
were still lacking, however.
They finally got the angora Of
Fred G. Roegge, the champion root
or for Cleveland. He was right or
the job with his big megaphcne
where he left of yesterday but ht
expired about the same time a

Robins went out to smash. smash,

until they had the game sewed up.
There was NO particular imagin.

pecially startling about tho way 1t
was carried out. 1t was Just q well

thing was done neatly, but hardly
in the super-styie expected in q

Brooklyn didn't do much to big
Jim Bagby; still, they managed to
leave his mangled remains on the
field Of combat.
Robins Have slim Edge.
The Robins had a slim edge on
both offensive and defensive In this
second game OF the series. 1t was
50 slim an edge. however, that the
Indians can claim rightfully the
breaks went to the other team.
The difference lay IN the way the
Robins combined their efforts to
manufacture runs. The Indians
were about Is efIicient except In

Hess Indiana o., Hammond, 1919.
Task for Champs.
Indications that the Rock Island
Independents will be pushed to the
limit to gain the verdict over the
Hammond football phalanx here
Sunday afternoon are becoming
more and more pronounced every
day. Hammond has been signing
seasoned sx-college and profession
81 stars at a rapid rate for the ex-
press purpose Of defeating the Is
landers. Already, they have one
Of the best lineups seen this year
on paper.
The Independent management
wishes to impress upon tri-city foot
ball fans that the Hammond eleven
that comes here Sunday is not the
Hammond Clahhys, who were de-
feated overwhelmingly last fall aft
or the defeat administered to the 10
Gals by the Hammond Afi-Stars.
Works Year on Team.
DR.. A. A. Young, the Hammond
gridiron mentor, devoted all winter
spring and summer to organizing
the new Hammond team. He made
1t a point to know every candidate
personally, not to rely entirely upon
past performances. In this way
DR.. Young got first hand informa-
ton concerning available stars
from whom he had picked his Ham
mond team.
Further assurances that the In.
dependents will have their hands
full in accomplishing the downfall
of Hammond are indicated in dis.
patches that Hammond has been
outbidding Canton and Cleveland in
the signing of the best football
players without regular assign
ments. 1t seems that Canton, who
is always we'll supplied with stal
talent, has been reluctant to steI
out and grab the best players, as
heretofore, because of a desire tc
see other teams in the A. A. P. F
C. strengthen their forces.
