CLEVELAND IS
THE WINNER
And City Is All Agog With
Excitement Over It's
New Honor
PLAYERS WILL
BE HONORED
Final Victory Over Brook
lyn Was By the Score
of 3 to 0

Cleveland, O., Oct. l3.-With the
fifth city of the United States in the
matter of population definitely assured
of being the first city of the baseball
universe for at least twelve months
Cleveland to-day settled back to enjoy
some of the worlds championship base
ball honors brought here by Jim Dunn'a
Indians when they defeated Brooklyn
to Q yesterday and captured the an
nual classic five games to two.
Cleveland, ~ years a hangeron in
professional baseball, has turned its
thoughts to devising new ways of
showing appreciation of the prowess of
the Athletes who finally made this
city the worlds baseball capital.
Although several watches, medals,
automobiles, loving cups and half a
dozen floral wreaths of unusual size
have been presented to the winning
players by appreciative fans, Cleve-
land believes it had done too little.
The first of series of celebrations
wilr be held tonight and, according
TO plans. the wildness of Cleveland
throughout the past four days over its
club will be tame and digniied com
pared with the JOY to be displayed.
Mayor Fitzgerald has issued proc
lamation calling on all good citizens
within walking or riding distance of
this metropolis to be present to night
at Watch park and pay official homage
and tribute to Iris Speaker and his
tribe. The players win be the guests
of honor. the citizenry it is expected to
turn out by the thousands, just as ii
has done at the games, and all the
high officials of the city viii be pres.
ent to explain TO the Indians in de.
tail just how proud Cleveland is of
them. Cleveland plans to cut loose and
show the world what real celebrating
is,
An official dinner for the players
with the city officials az hosts and ev
cryone in the blue book as guests, is
another affair which probably will take
place in a day or two Then there is
the matter Of presents for all the play
ers and possibly parade, but Cleve-
land assures the world that all such
things will be adequately attended to.
and Cleveland proved during the Sc
Eies that it never goes half way, Ell
Their in winning games or celebrating
its victories.
After nearly half century with
clubs never finishing higher than sec
ond, Cleveland expects to crowd az
years of appreciation joy, enthusiasm
and celebration into the one year Of
supremacy. which was assured them
by Stanley Coveleskie yesterday. When
the players go home, they probably |
will be honored further, for Sandusky |
already is arranging a big home coming
for Elmer Smith.
From the time little Joe Sewell |
made wonderful stop Of konetchy's /
grounder, ending the series, and Iris |
Speaker climbing into the stands to
kiss his gray haired mother, Cleve
and has been in a furore.

Los ultimos despachos recibidos de

MA esta a punto de ser convertida en-
ell teatro de nuevss convnlsiones poll
ticas. Soplan en- la nacion vientos d.
fronda, 81 las cosas no cambian, Sc
teme que los meses de JUNO Y Julio Sc
ran tormentosos. Ell barometro politico
indica Que los extremistas, tanto reac-
cionarios como radicales. tienen Ell pro-
posito de efectuar golpes de estado deci-
sivo.
En- toda Alemania Sc siente el her

ran intensameIlte para la lucha pres

FL 'Vorwaersts' organo de los So
cialistas ha dado Ia voz de alarma, anun
ciando que los .reaccionarios fomentan

Las organizaciones militares volun-
tarias, a las que Sc ola ell nombre de

febril, cuentan con ell apoyo hnan-

oponen abiertamente las tendencias 50

prender un movimiento contra-revolucio

sentaTse como salvadores de la patria
Los conservadores, segun Sc sabe, no
intervendran militarmente hasta que la

del terrorismo Para que Sc cohozcan
estos horrores, Berlin y toda la parte
