! One thing the clean-cut and impress
save victory Of the Indians over the
Dodgers did, in addintion to once
again demonstrating the class OF tho
American League, was to explode the
myth given general credence curing

cult this year was pitching of . cali
Der inferior to that in the Heydler or
ganfzation. The National Leaguers
entered the series with the Arm con-
viction they had half a dozen or more
pitchers who could hurl rings around
the Indians slabmen. and discovered
that all the Tribe needed to win was
three boxmen-Coveleskie, Ragby and

4 Beyond question Covaleskie was the
hero of the post-Season classic. Steve
ONeill earned laurels by the master
full manner in which he held up the
slabmen and for his hard and timely
hitting. he being the real batting lead

by Zach Wheat, the Dodger captain,
whose bingleS were not nearly SO pro-
ductive, and by Jameson. Bagby and
Mitchell. none of whom played In all
the games.
It Is reasonable to presume O'Neill's
average would have been even higher
had the Dodgers pitchers not respect
