New York, October 6.-In a pitching duel between the lead- ing hurlers of the National and American Leagues, Burleigh Grimes, Brooklyn's spitball ace, today shut out Cleveland, 3 to o, in the second game of the world series at Ebbets Field.
 His ability to hold the Indians in check when hits would have meant runs marked his superiority over James C. Bagby, whom Manager Speaker selected to add second game to the Cleveland string.
 The victory which placed the Super bas alongside Iris Speakers indians. was due almost entirely to the excellent hurting of Grimes, who had the heavy hlttlng leaders of the junior league baf- lied throughout the game so far as con. secutive binslng was concerned With the exception of the eighth inning when Grimes temporarily lost sight of the nome plate. Cleveland never appeared Tn the light of a serious contender.
 CRIMES INVINCIBLE The inability of the Indians to con meet with Grimes sIants when hfls would have meant runs is aptly iIlus- trated by the fact that the Cleveland clan got fourteen runners on the bags. or whom ten were stranded and four retired by subsequent plays The In dians were not without repeated oppor- tunities to score. But in every emer- gency Brooklyn's moist ball star met the emergency with masteriy coIlec- nf cha .l-t. breaks which cut the corners of the plate or shot in close to the body of the 1 batter with the result that the seven hits of the invaders were so scattered as to be useless .n run producing. Bag | by was not as effective in the box for Speakers team as was Coveleskie in ! the opening game. or as his opponent Grimes, notwithstanding that he deliv- cred less pitches than did the winning ! hurler, The Snperbas res f E nassseea 1 fering effectively when eeNnarS ve-s on bases, as compared to he iHdia ! four of the ten Broeklys snss<9s fs Ereach firsts three scored. tfgee wef sg | tired and the remaining fous left
 The crux of the pitching saalyeis is
 shown by the fact that the winners l scored three runs on seven hits scat tered through six innings. while Clevs- land. with an equal number of swats was unable to send a run across the plate in nine innings. Uhle, who re- l placed Bagby in the seventh session. proved more of a puzzle to the home combination. the Robins going out on strikes or flies in order during the two periods in which he worked.
 DEVOID OF SENSATION l The contest. aside from Grimes power ! to puzzle the Indians at critical times
 in the struggle was as devoid of sensa- ! tional features and color as was the in- ! ital battle yesterday. Speaker pulled l off another sensational catch in the | fourth inning, when he raced far over
 into Jamieson's territory and hauled l down Kilduff's long drive.
 | Right fielder Griffith starred with d catch off the wall in the seventh, when he captured Sewells savage smash in a manner somewhat similar to his thrill- ing handling of Speakers drive of Tuesday.
 | A flash of the defensive skill in the Jrdians was shown in the third inning with Brooklyn at bat. Bagby served up slow floater to Grimes, who | tCondnued on Page Twelvel
