CLEVELAND, Oct 12.-The 1920
worlds baseball series Will pass into
the realm of things that have been to-
day unless all signs fail.
TWO things may occur to prolong the
series. One is a Brooklyn victory, the
other a rainy day. OF the two the
weather looked the most dangerous.
Gray, gloomy skies greeted Cleveland
this morning and there was the smell
Of rain in the air But the Indians and
Dodgers were banking on playing the
seventh game.
The Indians are as good as in with
the worlds championship. The Dodgers
are as good as through.
Cleveland has every advantage over
Manager Robinson's aggregation from
Flatbush. for Cleveland must win only
one more game while the Dodgers must
win three straight.
SPEAKER HAS
CHOICE OF THREE.
Manager Speaker has three pitchers
ready to inject into today's pastime.
One is Stanley Ccveleskie, who has
beaten the Dodgers twice. Ray Cald
well is also ready to start and George
Uhle has an outside chance.
Robinson has Burleigh Grimes and
Rube Marquard. He also has Al Ma
maux and JEFF Pfeffer. but there was oDiy
a ghost of chance that either of this
latter pair would get into the seventh
game.
The fact that Sherrod Smith, south
paw, has looked better against the In
dams than any other Dodger pitchers,
may influence Robinson TO start a left
handler, and if this is the case Marquard
will get another chance. But Grimes
looked like the logical selection.
Regardless of Robinsons pitching Sc
lection today it was the general belief
that the Indian steam roller would con.
tinue on its way.
Speakers boys are fun Of ginger and
confidence. And they are hitting. The
Dodgers, on the other hand, are hope
1essly out Of it and the realization can
not possibly help their morale.
LUCK ALSO
AIDS CLEVELAND.
Cleveland has beer lucky in the series
to date. The Indians, however, have made
many of their own breaks as a good
ball club is always bound to do, and
for the most part they have been entitled
10 everything they got.
There was a rather strange turn Of
fate in the winning of the sixth game
By the Indians-tEe game that has all
but clinched the coveted title-in that
Duster Mails, whose good left arm moved
the Dodgers down, is a Brooklyn castOff.
When Mails was with the Dodgers in
1916 they won the championship and
later lost the worlds series to the Rcd
sox. but as Mails was considered ex-
cess baggage he was released 70 Pitts
burgh and did not share in the cutting <
Of the worlds series pie.
Mails never forgave Wilbert Robinson
for releasing him. He believed that be
was capable Of holding his own If given
the proper chance, and he figured that
he never got that chance in Brooklyn.
Monday Mails turned IN the victory that
put a perfectly good worlds series in
the has-been class, and he is one cheer
ful left handler. Small wonder he pitched
the best game OF his career against the
Dodgers. He would rather have won
the game than anything else in the
world
While Cleveland fans are lauding Mails

CUMMINGS SWAYS
ANDERSON AUDIENCE


ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. Pin one or
the most eloquent and stirring orations
ever made In a political campaign here
Homer s. Cummings Of Connecticut. for
mer Democratic national chairman, last
night appealed TO an audience Of 1000
persons assembled in the public square
for the League of Nations.
Mr.. Cummings recited the accomplish
ments Of the Democrats IN eight years
of public life.
He predicted that in event Of the Re
publican success the reacttonary forces
of the Nation would regain power ana
four things would occur:
Peace would be indefinitely post
poned.
War would be waged on Mexico,
as had been promised in the Repub-
lican platform, engaging 100000
American soldiers.
The great Federal banking law
would be amended so as to restore
the control of money TO one center
Labor conditions would be dis
turbed
The speaker made a stirring appeal
in behalf Of the League Of Nations
THE fundamental purpose OF the
Leaguc OF Nations Is TO preserve inter-
national peace and prevent 8 recurrence
Of war;" Mr.. Cummings said. 1T is.
scarcely credible that more than forty
nations have deliberately given their sig
natures and assent to a document which
makes for war instead of peace
The whole world longs for peace.
''In a great majority OF addresses de
hvered with a view to diseouraging our
people and discrediting the league. the
opponents Of the treaty say: Shall we
send our boys abroad to settle a poHtica;
quarrel In the BaIkans?'
Have we forgotten that we sent more
than 100000 men to France, spent more
than ~ enty billions Of dollars and sac
rihced nearly 100000 lives to settle a
Balkan dispute?"

The retailers are scheduled to hold a

Wednesday and It has been indicated

ing q campaign OF falsehood."
Jesse z. Eschbach, chairman Of the
commission, came right back with 8
statement In which he declared MI
Penna is on agitator and does not speah
for good American citizens.
Neither threw any light on the ques
tion which the public is attempting to
have answered. namely, whether the or
ders of the commission viii result in
lower prices or VIII make 1t impossible
TO obtain coal at any price.
Mr.. Penna is en- route to New York to
attend the meeting of the National Coal
Operators Association
Mr.. Penua claims that operators be-
longing to the association, of which
he is the secretary, have no intention of
following out the orders Of the coal com
mission.
Mr.. Eschbach replied that Mr.. Penna
has been engaged active for years in de-
veloping confusion and disorder among
coal laborers and that he has now trans
ferred his ability to more allurlng fields
whero he can make thousands of citizens
suffer.
