to be o6literated. The Wisconsin VAL

With its completion the former

INDIANS WIN DESPITE HOODO
THAT LONG cAMPED ON TRAIL

Cleveland came into the American
League pennant after perhaps the
most unfortunate history OF any club
in that organization.
Time and again the Indians OBJ.
viously have constituted one of the
best outfits in the organization only ia
succumb to injuries and unlucky
breaks in playing. They finished sec.
ond in 1919, 1918 and 1908, and third
third in 1917, 1913, 1911, 1906 and
1908.
Iris Speaker who succeeded Lee
Fohl upon the latter's voluntary re.
t!rement last year was the only play.
ing manager In the American League.
When the 1920 season started Speak
or had shown such remarkable exc.
'atiyo ability that with his first.
class material 1t was generally be-
lieved- barring the. usual Cleveland
jinx-the Indians would fight 1t out
for first place with the White Sox
and the. Yankees. This is just what
happened.
Cleveland has as good pitching
staff as any in the circuit, hut 1t was
ihv teams batting that proved the
biggest factor in the race. For the
first time in years major league
club presented a team average of
more than 300. During the third
week in September the Indians were
hitting two points better than the
coveted mark.
The tragic death of Ray Chapman.
star shortstop. who was hit on the
head with ball pitched by Carl Mays
in New York at the height of the sea-
s,n. seemed for time to have rob.
bed Cleveland of a pennant again.
The club wavered and dropped to
third place. Not only was the clubs
morale affected. but apparently there
was no chance of plugging the gap in
the infield. Harry Lunte was tried
out with Indifferent success. Thea.
without any previous advertising,
the name of Joe Sewell appeared in
the lineup. The youngster, who. was
obtained from New Orleans. began
batting and fielding sensationally and
the problem appeared to be solved.
Another late season find by Iris
Speaker was Walter Mails, the big
left handler who failed with Brooklyn
several years ago. Coming from
sacramento. he won his first five
starts with the Indians.
Jim Bagby was the leading pitcher
of the league. Late in September he
