they threw away chances to score by
stupid base running and then Grimes
tossed the game away when Doc
Johnson inveigled him into making a
useless throw to second base. The
American League champions were
smarter. They kept their heads up.
they received wonderful encourage
ment from their home town fans and
they were splendidly handled by
Speaker.
On the other hand, the Dodgers ran
wild on the bases. could not hit In
the pinches, seldom got their first
batter on base and-1ost one of their
regulars in the fourth game. The
injury to johnson forced Robinson to
use Shechan, q rookie, at third base.
Had Cleveland been deprived of the
services of Speaker the Indians would
have suffered. but almost any other
man could have been spared. The
Indians went through the series with
out a first-class shortstop. Had Ray
Chapman lived to play In these
games 1t is doubtful whether the
Dodgers would have won game.
The winners played clean ball and
are thorough sportsmen. Speaker

victory is a popular one. Brooklyn
could not approach this record.

'RUBE' IS THROUGH
in OLDER LEAGUE
by SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-The arrest of
Rube Marquard. the veteran left
band pitcherAon a charge of speculat-
Ang in world series tickets was a
heavy blow at the morale and the
good name of the Dodgers. John
Arnold Heydler, president Of the Nat
ional league. says MarQuard will
never pitch another ball. in that
league. Charles II. Ebbets is also
bitter at Marquard and Is ready to
cast him off.
Marquard was found guilty by a
police magistrate in Cleveland yester-
day but, in order to soften the in
cident he was fined only 81. Robin
son had intended to start Marquard
in yesterdays game, but under orders
from Ebbets and Heydler he abandon
ed that iSea after the court hearing.
Marauard 10 no longer wanted in
the National league" said Heydler
last night in Cleveland.
He has forfeited the respect OF
every decent player. He gave his
team a black eye at time when
every announcement was needed.
We want no more of him. THIS is a
most deplorable incident. following so
closely on revelations that have shock
ed the baseball world. 1t accentuates
the mercenary spirit of some players
who are prospering in their profess
sion. 1t Is a blot on the National
leagues record for integrity"
1t was reported yesterday morning
that the National Commission would
hold out Marquard's share of the
world series receipts. But Heydler
has recommended to Squire Ebbets
that the player be paid off and dis
honorably discharged from the Nat
ional league. Ebbets is highly in
censed at Marquard and will give
him his unconditional release.

GEORGETOWN PREPS
f. CHALLENGE IS. OUT
NJ BRYAN MoRsE.

Georgetown Preparatory School Is
out to challenge all Of the high
schools and preps schools in the
District in football. The Garrett
Park lads expected to have an un-
usually light team this fau. When
noses were finally counted it was
decided htat the Blue and Gray
youngsters would be large enough to
take on ttheJ healthier opponents in
scholastic football.
Coach Harry Sullivan. famous foot
ball and baseball star of Georgetown,
Is coaching the Props. Sullivan
thinks his lads will be big enough TO
tackle any Of the other teams in the
District and wants to hear from
Central, Tech. Eastern, Business and
all OF the others. g,
The Props Will probably work for
ward to their annual game with the
Army and Navy Prep lads. This con-
test has always been one of the big
features Of the fall sports and is
likely to be q big1 AFFAIR this year.
The Marine Props. composed largely
of former Eastern High players,
sprang a big surprise on tthe Tech
High lads. Yesterday in potomac
Park the Marine Props hung a
to 9 sinner on the Trainers.
The big Tech team had nothing
Sustained fighting qualities carried
the Marine Preps through to win
when Tech failed to kick goal after
their touchdown. The Tech team
scored first on a series of line plays
in the first. quarter. A ball kicked
into the line on the 2-yard line gave
the ball to the Marine Props and they
carried it over in the second quarter
Techs first team went in finally
but could do nothing against the
Marine Props. The engagement with
Staunton on Saturday is likely to
prove large defeat ror Tech High.
The recent Army-Navy Prep victory
over Eastern by 27 to o shows tina,
the Connecticut Avenue lads will be
formidable this season 'F
Ralp Wise, a former Business High
lad. is paying for the Props in the

ROBINSON FOR YANKEES;
ROBBY NOT FOR YANKS

CLEVELAND, Oct. 13.--Wilbert
Robinson, successful manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. is considering a
flattering offer to sign a three-year
contract to manage the New York
Yankees. This is the Information
handed out by Miller Huggins, who
admits that his days in the Amer
lean league are done.
"The owners of the Yankees are
not negotiating with me and / am
not negotiating with them" says
Robinson. II expect to be back with
the National league champions next
year"
Take your choice between these
two statements.

Come to think OF 1t, ONeill is

lbut on both occasions Coveleskie had

There are no dissenters from tho
opinion that the Indians are a much

The one spot in which the National
IeaRdes champions excelled was in the
nelding. Sewell alone made enough
errors to prevent Cleveland from lead
inu in defense, too. But Cleveland
errors were not timely for the Dodg-
ers and Brooklyn bobbles were costly.
One gave Cleveland the winning run

Before dismissing the fielding end
nf the series one should pause and
give three cheers for little Peter Kill

accepted all of his forty-six chances
and his splendid play cut on many

heavy, in the opinion of ringsiders
defeat of Levinsky, when he was k
scheduled twelve-round encounter.
Levinsky was not the Levinsky OF
old. The stinging left jab. with which
he has held some great fighters at
bay. was useless against Carpenter
because IL was not used. The Ameri-
cans right hand might as we'll have
been left at home. Carpenter hit Le-
whisky practically at will.
Levinsky was fat and slow and ap-
peared overly cautious when he first
faced his foe. One smash on the chin
in the second round apparently took
what fight he had right out Of him.
and from then on II was only a Ques-
tion of time until-~1he -Frenchman n
would bring him down. "#
The NFrenchman can punch. There
is no doubt of that, but his vaunted
boxing skill was not in evidence
against Levinsky. His Judgment of
distance was poor and his footwork
at times clumsy. II he Is fast, he had
1t well covered up.
Carpenters weight was reported
from the ring as 170Ir, but he looked
bigger. If he Is matched with Demp-
sey he probably will enter the ring
Weighing about 1870 pounds. as
against about 1856 for the world cham

The International Sporting Club is
known to be bidding for the Demp-
sey- Carpenter match, and Is planning
to stage it in a huge armory in Bronx

alleged to have happened last year
when eight members of the Chicago
