Special Despatch TO THE HERALD.
CLEVELAND, Oct ITO day tke Cleve-
land baseball team OF the American
League completed it's victory IL, the
worlds series and did it In fitting
manner. Their playing outclassed vhe
playing of the National League con-
tenders and the game was a shuto'it.
They beat the Brooklyns 3 to 0. T'lus
they win the series by the decisive
margin of five games to two, AMI made
good their waiver that they wodld take
every one of the games here. They
won the series, they won all OF the
games on their own grounds and they
won four straight
Those are achievements which make
1t notable victory for the ClevelaRds
and which substahtiate the claim that
they outclassed the Dodgers. No such
eventuality was likely and was but re-
motely considered when the teams
came West to resume the contest here,
but such it turned out to be.
Stanley Coveleskie the spitball re-
lance Of the Cleveland staff, tackled
the Brooklyns for the third time to-
day, and for the third time had them
fitting at a spectre ball. CoveleslSie is
the big man of this series and it is a
series in which big figures extend be-
yond one man. Wambsganss and Ell.
mer Smith and Mails and O'Neil must
be so classified.
One might go so far as to say Coveles-
kie was hero save that word has been
lit. ~ f1 f1xr
where motor cars and huge floral pieces
and loving cups and watches and all
sorts of glittering things have been laid
at the feet of the baseballists by an ador-
ing and worshipful populace. Citizenry
has gone to extremes. Everybody was
eager to scatter roses and precious metal
IN the pathway of the successful war
riors. All ti.is was bit of false note
in series clearly and handsomely won
by the Indians, with versatile skill to an
unusual degree and fine morale.
Five Hits or CoveIeskie.
Coveleskie held the Dodgers to five hits
to-day two of which were lucky. 1t was
O. finished exhibition of pitching Coveles-
kie did, and though Burleigh Grimes did
n good job and was badly damaged by
errors, one by himself. the other by Mil
Ter, Grima, nevertheless met spitball
pitcner in this series who was a better
ono than he.
Only six hits were made off Grimes,
who was far and away better than last
time out, and only one Cleveland run was
earned. But the Dodgers were not near
TO a run of any kind. They had no bat
ter TO reach third base. Since they
struck Cleveland soil they have been in a
deep batting slump, and with all due
credit to the Cleveland pitchers, who are
wearing halos just now. the Brooklyns can
hit better against the Indian pitchers. CO.

the last four games Which. however. is no
consolation for the Dodgers at this time

won't get fat rendering.
Coveleskie was impertubable, he was
At as could be in the physical art OF
hurting the ball. and he had stamina
and pitching sense in addition which
list him as one of the best men of his
time in the box. He has earned lofty
rating in basebalrs peerage.
Three slips by the Dodgers hurt them
greatly. One was at the bat and hap
pened when Wheat tried to stretch q
single with nobody out. He was cut
down and with his erasure went Brook
lyn's best chance to score. The Others

by Miller. each of which resulted in q
run. However, the Indians earned one
run, and the Dodgers were not even close
to doing that. Grimes pitched strong
game, but in connection with that fac
