League Park, Cleveland. Oct. IL
The Brooklyn Dodgers primed today
their Dig gun, Sherrod Smith. one
of the leading exponents of southpaw
shooting in the National League, to
check the rushing offense of the
Cleveland Indians, who have started
a batting spree amidst their own
,epees. In the hunt for the world
series championship, the Indians have
garnered three wins and the Dodgers
two. The Indians need only two
more victories and the championship
of the earth, sea and sky in the way
of baseball Is theirs.
Brooklyn must win today or their
chances for the championship will be
reduced almost to the vanishing point.
bush faithful. who sit behind the
Brooklyn bench, have reached such q
low state of despair that q defeat to-
day OF the National Leaguers may
cause rise in the mortuary statis-
tics on the lake front before another
morning.
Il have Smith ready" said Man.
ager Robinson of the Brooklyns to-
day "and if necessary to pitch Pfef-
fer. Remember, If We win today we
will be all even again."
"Duster" Mails, the Indian south
paw, was all set to take the mound
for the Indians. The "Duster" held
the Dodgers scoreless in the innings
that he pitched against them in
Brooklyn. His fast ball skipped by
the Brooklyn bats with the speed
of a commuter running for the last
train home.
Cleveland believes the series as good
as won and that the playing Of the
next two games is nothing more than
q mere formality
Again scores stood In line all
night before the gates Of the un-
reserved sections, waiting to secure
vantage points in the stands behind
the outfield. Seats in the reserved
stands brought good prices when OBJ
tanned from scalpcrs but there were
few for sale.
The weather was hot and the sun
burned down flercely from an uncloud-
ed sky. 1t was O real August base

The umpires We're assigned as fol-
lows for todays game: Connally
