 PITCHING FAME

was noticeaby absent.
 In the third Konetchy and Kilduff figured in another star play. O'Neilrs | smash fairly tore it's way through l the hands of the Robins first sacker, but the ball was deflected by Kon- etchy's efforts to stop it and shot off toward Kilduff, who scooped it up and flung it back to Smith who had rushed over to cover the bag.
 Again in the fifth session, the Brooklyn infield figured in a fast double play. Olson knocked down Mails wicked drive and, recovering his balance with an effort tossed the ball to Kilduff, forcing O'Neill att second, whereupon Kilduff whirled and Naield Mails at first. Speakers players let themselves out in the sixth when two feats in handling the ball aroused the throngs to frenzy. Wheat lifted booming foul fly along the right field line and burns chased it to the grand stand where he slammed against the iron railing, but not until he reached in among the spectators occupying front row box and speared the ball almost in the lap of woman fan |. Myers then singled to left but when Kcnetchy hammered red hot hopper to Wambsganss, Tightening doubleI play, Wambsganss to Sewell to Burns checked what appeared to be another run getting rally. Other plays of almost equal brilliancy marked the progress of the battle but these were tthe outitanding defensive features. Speaker Confident.
 The outcome of the third game in nc way appeared to affect the con | fidence of Manager Speaker in the ability of his players to win out in the coming battles which switch to1 | Cleveland tonight.
 "We will win the series," was the confident comment of Speaker as he 1 left Ebbets field. He declared Brook l lyn's victory was due to better team -wcrk in the field by Brooklyn.
 "The Brooklyn players were on their toes and certainly played great baseball,"' he said. while our men in the field did not do so we'll today" Manager Speaker praised the work of Shortstop Sewell, who only recent 1 ly came into the major leagues and predicted that "some day that boy | is going to be one of the best" 1 Manager Robinson of Brooklyn, de- was still the same as it was before the first game was played.
 "Just as I thought two days ago. said Robhy, the series will be very close. The clubs are very evenly matched, but think we have the edge on Cleveland in respect to pitchers. l It may be a lucky Ching for Brook lyn that Manager Speaker at the last moment decided to start Ray Cald- well in the box, for it was while Ray was on the mound that Manager Robinson's boys got their two runs. l Iris Speaker, with the unintention- al aid of Zack Wheat, saved his team l from shutout. In the fourth the | Cleveland leader hit down the third 1 base line. The smash was ordinarily good for two bases, but Wheat let the ball go through him and it rolled to | the far corner of the lot. Speaker continued around the bases and SCOT ed so easily that Wheat made no eff fort to throw the ball home.
