 The Robins. so far, have had the better of the breaks. They were for tunate to win two of the three games and they still have real fight on their hands to win the worlds title. It is the opinion of a majority of the experts that the Indians will find their batting eyes now that they are at home and if Speakers team starts hitting at the clip that enabled it to amass a 300 batting average this year the Brooklyn pitchers will have their hands full. fs
 Jim Dunn, president ON he Indians, has a hunch that the Stfes is going to end right here with four straight victories for teh tribe.
 NO team on earth,'' said Dunn, ''can keep on stopping our boys from hitting the ball the Dodgers did in Brooklyn, and once they start hit ting, look out.'
 WORLDS SERIES PICK UPS.
 Hotels here are packed to the come from all parts of the country and among them are baseball men galore.
 Some three score Texans are here from Dallas, Fort Worth and other cities in the lone star state to root for the Indians Speaker halls from Texas, hence the sympathy for the tribe.
 Edward Fox, of Rutland, Vt, was the first man in the line at the ticket windows at League park this morn ing. Fox stood in line all night long with more than a hundred fans, wait ing for the bleacher seats to. go on sale at 10 o'clock this morning, Fo1 said he has been working in Seattle and came all the way to see the series.
 About 5000 general admission tickets were to be put on sale for todays game. As the hour for the opening of the sale approached League park was stormed by fans.
 The scalpers have got hold of lot of choice seats. One scalper ap- preached Zach Wheat, offering him set of four tickets for $1OO. Sets of four tickets have been sold for anywhere from s15O to $25O while single tickets for today's game have brought as much as $35.
 The federal authorities are keeping an eye open for the scaIpers. They expect to collect the war tax.

posed of. Temporary blaachers have been built in front of left and right fields, but no customers will be all lowed to stand on the field as was the case when the Yankees last play ed here. The capacity for those games was estinat at 2S,0O0.
 Hotels Crowded
 Most of the visitors who arrived yesterday were from the East and distant points. The Ohio fans began pouring in here early this morning. The capacity of Cleveland's first class hotels is estimated at 4,000. At least 5000 aplicants have been turn ed down at the hotels. In each room there is card which says that all reservations date from Friday to next Tuesday.
 Guests who occupied the rooms pre- vious to yesterday had to get out to make room for the baseball visitors.
 Restaurant men report the heavi- est custom they have handled in years. Last fall the fans cleaned out the Cincinnati eating places, but Cleveland is still feeding 'em.
 Corners of hotel Hobbies have been roped off and converted into tenn porary checkrooms for visitors from out of town. some of which did not know where they were going to sleep last night. Extra cots have been in stalled in many hotel rooms and they are bringing poor prices. It must be said, however, on the whole. that Cleveland hotel men are not profiteer- ing. They are charging fair prices because they want people who go away to. boost their city.

 The weather was fair and a trifle humid and weather man promised 1t would remain that way.
 The Indians are favored to even up the count with Brooklyn today. Manager Speaker is practically sure to send Stanley Coveleskie back at the Dodgers and as the tricky spit ball heaver has had plenty of rest since facing and defeating Robbys leads last Tuesday it is believed that he will be able to repeat, regardless hur1 against him. There was much speculation on the identity of the slabber who would get the assign ment from Uncle Wilbert.

Others said Jeff Pfeffer was almost a cinch and there were others who figured that Bobby might give Leon Cadore a chance to hand the tribe a beating.
 One thing was sure-Robby was certain to be careful in making a se- lection, he is taking no chances and he wants to safeguard the lead he holds over the tribe.
 Cleveland is long way from beaten as yet. So far the Robins have the edge but with the scene shifted here today and the Indians battling on their own familiar grounds - grounds on which they have been al- mo ost invincible for several years - they were sure to fight harder than in any game played to date

Cleveland, O.. oct. The first Worlds Series day in Cleveland finds the fifth city of the United States boiling over with excitement.
 Cleveland fapdom fondly hopes to see their favorite team triumph in the fourth game this afternoon and thereby even the series with the Dodgers at two all but Manager Rob- inson and his players smile at the mere suggestion of such an outcome The Dodgers had it all figured out how they were going to win their third straight victory this afternoon.
 Brooklyn, by virtue of their two victories to Cleveland's one, ruled favorite in the betting at odds of ' to 5 on the series, though few bets were known to be registered. Even money was wagered on the game to- day.

 The Dodgers arrived here at noon and rested up at their hotel, until o'clock when they went out to the grounds in the east end of the city The Indians beat them in by severa hours, took a brief practice and turn ed over the field to their rivals.

 Jimmy Kelly, who will box Cattle in the semi-final at the Casino, Mon day night, believes he should be given a chance against Louis Bogash. Kelly claims he is entitled to final bout through his good work in his last two appearances here and he be- lieves he is being double-crossed in not getting the opportunity. Kelly even admits that Gattles record is better than that held by Bogash.

 day Morning at 10.

Manager Campbell of the St. Joe's scored a ten-strike with the boys last night when he brought a real foot ball player and coach to the Saints practice.
 Jim Mccarthy, who is the man go- ing to look after the coaching end of the Joe's is one of-the best men that could be obtained, having played football at Fordham; with the Ameri- can Chain: and coached the Lake team, besides playing with them last there is no man around these parts who knows any more about the game than Mac" and the boys will have to show something Sunday to make the team.
 The Joe's went through two hours Mill Green, learning new plays and some of the Fundamentals of straight football, and when they line up against the King Pins Sunday, every man on the team will be confident of bringing home the bacon.
 The game with the King Pins Sun daNm will be a hard fought one, for the%teams are bitter rivals and each team is sure of victory, as they have agreed to play on a winner take all basis.
 Ath herton, who was trying out for a tackle, will probably be lost to the team for two weeks at least as he has an inflammed knee cap, and was advised by the club physician not to play football.

Rolls Up Score and Second Team Put in to Make It
 a Good Game.

Bridgeport High school football team felt no i'll effects today from ! the scrimmage yesterday afternoon at Newfleld park where the local stu dents downed Crosby High of Water bury, 26 to 0, in a one-Sided game. The local athletes have not been given an acid test yet for in their l other two games they have had little more than practice.
 Yesterdays game was little more than practice. From the start they had Crosby following and the visitors did not get the ball in their possession until the latter part of the third period, when Coach Hunt substituted all the men with the exception of Hill, Berkwit and Saur.
 Tn the first period both Swanner of Crosby and Whelan of the Hill tops were fortunate in intercepting forward passes. When in taking one of these Whelan ran IS yards and

The line plunging of Page was one of the features of this period, while Williams ripped up the Crosby line for several large gains Fischer who was substituted for Page in the third period, dashed off | with some startling rushes through center. Whelan also made 30- yard run and was stopped IS yards from the goal line. Fischer took the carried it over for the third touch down.
