GRIMES DELIVERY
TOO MUCH FOR THE
CLEVELAND CLUB
Brooklyn Took the Second Game
Of the Worlds Series by
Score of 3 to o.
SPEAKER CONTINUED
SENSATIONAL WORK

Rrooklvn. Oct. 6.-The worlds series
developed into nip and tuck affair when
BROOKLYN checked the Cleveland hltters
and won the second game OF the big classic
yesterday, 8 to O. Burleigh Grimes pitched
with craftiness equal to any ever shown
in previous worlds series and shut out the
Indians. but what is more healthier best
pitcher. and the American Leagues too
Jim Bagby, who won thirty-one games this
season for his club.
N With the exception of the eighth in
ning, when Grimes temporarily lost sight
Of the home plate the Indians never ap-
pcared in the light of serious contcnders.
Cleveland had repeated opportunities to
score but IN every emergency Brooklyns
spitball hurler met the emergency with
\ mastery collection of sharp-breaking
klants, slow breaks which cut the corner
of the plate with the result that the
visitors seven hits were so scattered that
they were unable to score. Cleveland got
IA runners on the bags 10 of whom were
stranded and four retired by subsequent
plays.
Bagby was not rs effective as his team
mate, Coveleskie, in the opening game,
although he pitched less balls than Crimes,
the Dodger hurler. Brooklyn got to his
offerings effectively when runners were
on bases. for of the ten runners to reach
the paths, three scored, three were re-
tlred and the remaining four left. The
final analysis shows that the winners
scored three runs on seven hits scattered
through six innings, while Cleveland, with
an equal number of hits, was unable to
score In nine innings.
Speaker continued his sensational work
of the iifst game when he raced over into
Jameson 5 territory and pulled down Kill
duff'S long drive. Griffith starred with
brilliant catch when he captured Sewell's
savage smash IN the seventh. Uhle, who
succeeded Bagby In the sixth inning,
proved effective against the Dodgers and
allowed no hits in two innings in which
he occupied the mound, striking out three
men.

nent IN the weather conditions, did not
quite equal the standard set IN the first
game. The paid attendance WIS 22,55o
