The alright pitching Of Coveicskie
was hardly needed In view OF the

Al Psychological Moment.
The victory came at the psyche
| logical moment for the Cleveland
club. who are now thought to have
the edge on the Brooklyn team.
With the score of games all even at
two each and three games still to
play on their home grounds, the ad-
vantage should rest with the Indians.
The American leagucrs have now
seen every Brooklyn pitcher OF class
working against them and the star
twirlers OF the Robins are no longer
n mystery. with the backing of
home crowds andSuch batting as
they uncovered today there appears
to be reason for the odds offered
by the Cleveland fans before the
; series opened.
The effect of this loyal spirit was
evident today in every action OF the
Indians before and during the game,
Cleveland started to make the team
feel that the entire city and section
was behind 1t ana believed implicitly
