Team Standing.
Games Today. Worcester at Bridgeport Lowell at Hartford. New Bedford at Fall River.

Tonight at the Casino, the Bridge port polo team will play Worcester
 This game is an extra one because Worcester has no hall in which to play the game and for that reason is transferring all its games to it's opponents floors. Manager Neville is hopeful of getting another man to take Carrigans' place at halfback. While Allen played a good game last night he showed lack of practice afford to wait until he gets into con-
 dition. With practice he would be
 big asset to the club, but at the present time he is a handicap. To making an effort ito get Ffnney, who
 is an extra defenseman in the cir
 cult.
 Secretary Perron of the American Roller Polo League witnessed the
 game last night and he left today for
 Hartford where there is a game sch eduled tonight. Secretary Perron
 said last night that there would be
 8 meeting of the league in ProVi-
 dence next Sunday.
 Carrigan Hurt. Crippled by the absence of Half
 back Carrigan, who is out Of the game
 with a wrenched knee sustained in Providence Monday night, Bridgeport went down in defeat to the Fall River club to 2, at the Casino last night in one of the hottest games played on the local floor so far kehoe, the VlS- iting first rusher, who does not belong to any particular team, but who fills in here and there in case of an acci- dent, was the bright light in the strug- gle last night, caging six of the Vls- itorS' points.
 In fact the whole offensive work of the visitors was of a high order Steve Pierce, son of the old7time Dick1e Pierce, played a beautiful floor game, and Fred Jean, one of the best polo players in the business, displayed sfeat ability as he always does on the floor. These three were ably support ed by Cusick at ha1fback. and Blount in goal. It was a difficult matter to get the ball through Blount's legs. Captain Quigley's team suffered se- verely by the absence of Carrigan. 1 Allen, a former player, was pressed l into service but he has not been in the game in several years, and he lacked practice. Because of this Captain Quigley was forced very frequently to l assist Lovegreen at goal and this

Vote Mrs. Chapman $ Share In Big Series

In the moment of victory yesterday the Indians thought or their dead comrade and his widow-Ray Chap man, who was killed at the Polo Grounds, and his wife.
 In the Cleveland dressing-room after the game the joyous shouts of the players subdued suddenly and dramatically when someone sugg est ed that Mrs Chapman be voted a full share in the clubs division of the re- ceipts.
 The men, grown yong for the mo- ment in their happiness over their victory, as one man unanim ously adopted the suggestion.
 Then Speaker, dynamic, magnetic leader of the Indians arose, and broke the tense, reverent silence:
 Lets give Mrs. Chapmap a share of the winning clubs receipts he said. And the man. who led the In dians to victory in the American League race in the face Of heart breaking adversity sat down on a bench, covered his eyes with his hands and sat still for several min uteS.

New York, Oct. 6-Beaten but far from Encouraged the champion Brook lyn Dodgers were ready to face the Indians in the second game of the Worlds Series today, and prepared to fight like wildcats to even up the count.
 Iris Speakers players, highly 'elated over their victory in the opener, were out to make it two in a row but were not looking for an easy assignment, for they have a wholesome respect for the gameness of the National League champions. Football weather was the order again today as the rivals got ready for their second tilt. The sun came out friendly enough but along with it came an October breeze that made every one step lively.
 The outcome of today's game means everything for the Dodgers, for, after letting Cleveland get the jump on them, they will face a discouraging task if they lose another game on their own grounds
 To Send Back Rube. Uncle Wilbert Robinson says he is not sorry that he started Rube Mar quard and expects to send the Rube back again. But as the big southpaw failedtfo turn back the hard-hitting of the invading cham pionS 1t was ex- pected Robby would send a right handler against them today and Bur leigh Grimes was considered the log icsf choice.

 Because of the chill winds that played about Ebbets Field throughout the night there was no line of fans at the ticket windows but as soon as the sun peeped forth today. they be- gan to arrive and long before noon there were hundreds in line.

Brooklyn Lost Only
 A Little Prestige

than once to lift Coveleskie. One good smashing hit at any one of two or three stages of the opening game would have blasted the Pole from his pedestal.
 Cleveland Hits Timely.
 . Each team made five hits but Clevelands bingles were more timely than Brooklyn's, and one base on balls yielded by Marquard developed into a calamity. Coveleskie pitched a tight game. He had some of the Dodgers breaking their backs to gauge the breaks on the ball. No other Cleve- land pitcher is likely to duplicate the performance. =aa
 Another factor that weighed heavily against the Dodgers yesterday was the fielding of Speaker. Sewell and Evans. Speaker in particular render ed his pitcher amazing support. The veterans judgment of wind blown flies was something uncanny. There were a couple of short flies he could not reach, but he caught one that Evans missed and Evans returned the favor some fewTrounds later by cross ing in front of his manager and plucking a base hit out of the air.
 Speaker the Star
 In the final analysis, Speakers fielding stands out as a factor fully as important as Coveleskie's pitching his shoestring catch off Krueger ir the eighth inning was a life saver fo1 the Cleveland pitcher. Had it gone safe, Krueger would have owned g double or possibly a triple. Mitchell followed with a single and Olsen 8 pass so that the damage that might have resulted if Speaker had not re- tired Krueger may be estimate ted. The Dodgers think this play prevented them from tying. the score or possibly driving Coveleskie from the box and winning in that late inning.
 SewelPs part in holding up Covey cannot be over estimated. The rookie shortS;op, who came from the minors only a few weeks ago, was not bi disconcerted by the hostile crowd Most of his seven fielding chances were difficult stops. Te took ground CTS on half bounds. Speared liner: and in general conducted himself like a season veteran. And he is kid of only nineteen.

Ry Sid Mercer.

New York, Oct. 6-No team ever lost less prestige by kicking off the first game, of q Worlds Series than the Brooklyn National League club did when Stanley Coveleskie tied them into scoreless knots with his four pronged splitter yesterday.
 The reputation of the Dodgers as game, hustling team did not suffer in the least by this setback. To be sure, it was disheartening to see Uncle Robby's boys reeling back from one bad "break' after another, but Brooklyn supporters do not think the luckswilI run one way all through the series. g.' Al. Y
 Instead of being downcast over their showing against Coveleskie, the Dodgers are more confident than ever. They figure they have given Speakers pitching ace a battle that will keep him on the side lines until after the fourth game, and they do not believe spoke" has another pitcher any where near as good as him.
 Pitchers In Reserve.
 In tho meanwhile Brooklyn's re- serve sp5tching strength has hardly been touched. Any one of the three hurlers who worked yesterday could go in again tomorrow. MamauX and Cadore could work today. as they made only brief appearances on the slab. Marquard, when he was remov- ed for a pinch hitter. was going strong.
 This is the way Manager Robinson fgures.it:
 He matched three pitchers against Speakers one best and the mauling Indians did not make any more hits off the trio than the Dodgers combed from the delivery of Coveleskie, rated as the best spitball pitcher in the American League. And don't forget that "Covey" had rested up several days for this effort. while Jim Bagby and "Duster' Mails, who are the next two Cleveland pitchers in line, were pressed hard and somewhat over worked in the closing days of the American League race when the White Sox were making threatening g gestures.
 ,Furthermore--it was evident yester- day that Speaker was ready more

E'Not Discouraged"
 Says Mgr. Robinson

Victory, of course would have been more welcomed than defeat, but my players are not discouraged over the loss of the first game, and are still confident that they'll win the series Cleveland played great ball in the field, while Coveleskie's work on the mound was of the best Cleveland too was favored by the wind, which carried Burns fly in the second in- ming from short over to first base.
 While the Cleveland players deserve all of the glory and praise that goes with winning the opening game, the fans should not overlook the Brook 1yn players. My boys fought hard every inch of the way and threw big scare into the Cleveland team in the eighth inning.
 The Brooklyn team with the excep- ton of Konetcheys error. played faultlessly in the field. That catch of Grifith's against the right field wall was one of the most remarkable I ever saw.
 will probably give the Cleveland batters some spitball pitching to hit at today, as I intend to use Burleigh Grimes.

Dodgers Prepared To
 Fight Like Wild Cats
Brooklyn Team Not Discouraged By Defeat in First Game-Speaker's Players Highly Elated Over First / Victory-After Two in a Row Today.

The opening day was not as large as had been expected for the park was not filled to it's capacity. Hun dreds probably stayed away from the park in the belief that seats would be unobtainable but they did not figure on the effect of the raw wealth CT. Today a large crowd was ex- pected.
 Favorites over Brooklyn before the series opened the Indians continued to rule favorites today. No wagers of unusual size were reported how ever.
 Grimes was eager and ready to take the mound against the Indians on Tuesday He has been resting his arm for several days and is in perfect condition.
 Realizing what an advantage two straight victories would give to the Indians, Iris Speaker was expected to play his other big trump card today and send Jim Bagby to the firing line. Bagby is a good cold weather pitcher, by the way. and has plenty of stuff even though a chill wind is blowing.
 Should Speaker start one of his sec ond string hurlers it was believed "Duster" Mails or Guy Morton would get the assignment with Mails the likely choice. The "Duster" used to be a member of the Dodgers and it goes without saying that he will pitch his head off any time he starts.
 Talk of Class.
 The dash and class of the Indians and the fine fighting spirit shown by the Brooklyn players in defeat were the chief topics among confabbing fans here today
 Iris Speakers team lived up 10 it's reputation as one of the smoothest working troupes Nof players ever got ten together and the Cleveland man ager himself demonstrated in striking manner why they call him the great est outfielder ifI.t the world. Coveleskie deserves a big share of credit for the fine ball he pitched. yet Covey owes Speaker an eternal debt of gratitude for the wonderful catches in deep left center field that saved him a world of trouble, perhaps the victory, and broke the hearts of the Dodgers fans. The fans are talking about all these things today. They are talking about this Kid Sewell too. Sewell must have surprised himself. He looked like a wonder and played with all the cool ness of seasoned campaigner.

 St. Louis. Mo-. Oct. 6-Baffled by a wave of robberies and pocket pick ings, the police have turned their at tentlon to the Forest Park Zoo in the hope of solving at least one light fingered misrepresentation.
 The quest began with a search of the monkey cages on the theory that an $500 diamond pin was taken from Mrs. Clifford c. Fox as she strol1ed through the Zoo, on a Sun day afternoon.

How They Scored
INDIANS

Second inning-Two runs-Burns. first man up. Lifted a high fly to- ward first. The stiff breeze caused Konetchy to misjudge it. He picked it off the ground as Burns sailed for second. Then he threw, hoping to head off Burns, but the toss was wild, went to the left field stands and Burns raced all the way around for the next run. Wood, the next batter, got a pass to first. Sewell advanced him to third with a long single and Wood scored a few seconds later on O'Neilfs two bagger, along the left field foul line.
 Fourth inning-One run-After Gardner went out, KiIduff to Kon- etchy, Wood hammered out a two bagger and scored on O'Neils two bagger to right field.

 Bridgeport Plays Hard.
 But what a game the Bridgeport outfit handed out to the visitors. The stops credited to Lovegreen show in a small way what he did in checking the visitors In all he had 57 stopss d1- vided as follows: 20 in the first period; 25 in the second period. and 12 in the final session. Lovegreen stopped the ball in a sensational manner and sometimes when both kehoe and Pierce were within a few feet of him.
 During the battle the ball went into the cage three times and each of these the red pill came out again. Twice the Fall River team put the ball m the cage, one a drive by kehoe, and the other a drive by Pierce. while Muligan lost one the same way. The lineup and summary:
