By Associated Press

Cleveland, O., October 9 The Cleveland Indians m sacred the Brooklyn Robins II. the fourth game of the world series here this afternoon, win- ming by a score of five to one, thus tying the struggle for the 1920 baseball championship. Each team has now won two games, and the battle will be renewed tomorrow with the American Leaguers the fa- vorites.
 The tribe of Speaker evidently burnished up its collective war club during the trip from. Brooklyn and fell upon the helpless Robins with a savage attack that swept the east erners completely off their feet and brought unlimited joy to the thou sands of fans who had been waiting the awakening of the home club with confident impatience
 While the Indians were batterina four of Brooklyn's pitchers to frazzle. stanley Covaleskie was holding the in- vaders almost helpless in the grasp of his elusive spitball delivery. Only five hits were collected from the former miners slants and shoots. In almost every inning the Robin batters went out in order. So perfect was his control and

 back that only three Superbas were
 left stranded and only one, Jimmy Johnston, completed the circuit for tally.
 WON IN FIRST INNING From the offensive standpoint, the Cleveland clan tore into the Nationals with rush in the first inning and actually won the game in that frame. as
 later developments proved. Two runs l were quickly accumulated, followed by another pair in the third and the final | score went across in the sixth It was not the total number of rupf that the Indians made which impresse1 their followers but in the manner in which the winners fairly ran rampant l through the highly touted pitching tal-
 ent of the National League pennant win-
 ners. Leon Galore was knocked out of the box in the second session, and 1 Mamaux, who replaced him. suffered 1 similar fate in the third period. Rube 1 Marquard, who earlier in the day had
 been arrested for ticket speculating, anu l released upon his word to report for a 1 hearing on Monday, followed M4maux. and, after ridding himself of the heritage
 of Mamaux, pitched good ball until he | retired in order to permit Lamar to bar 1 for him.
 1 Jeff Pfeffer then took the burden or
 the huring, and had the final run
 scored on his delivery. Twelve hits. five runs and ten Indians left on the bases ! tells in 8 nutshell the story of Cieve-
 lands rise and massacre of the Robins.
 HURLED s6 BALLS 1 The air-tight hurling of Coveleskie was hardly needed. in view of the brutal
 manner in which Speaker and his play
 CTS battered the offerings of the Brook l lyn quartet. Nevertheless, Stanley mois- l tened the ball time after time and shot it up to the plate with all the hit-defy- l ing slips and slants as though the con ] test depended entirely upon his ability | to slip the ball past the weak Robins
 without even the courtesy of a 'how- I de-do." In the nine innings in which It was necessary for him to take the mound l Coveleskie hurled the sphere at cha l Brooklyn batters 86 times Of these de- 1 liveries, 2 were balls. 26 strikes, foul strikes and } fouls after the second l 1 for groundout and fourteen times for flyouts. These figures, plus the five scattered hits against Coveleskie, show his effectiveness in the box.
 The victory came at the psychological moment for the Cleveland club, who
 now are thought to have the edge on 1 the Brooklyn team With the score of games all even at two each and three games still to play their home reser- l; vation, the advantage should rest with l the Indians. The American Leaguers have now seen every Brooklyn pitcher of class working against them. and the star twirlers of the Robins are no longer a mystery. With the backing of the !! home crowds and such batting as they
 uncovered today. there appears to be rea-.
 son for the odds offered by the Cleve-i land fans before the series opened. SUPPORT ABOVE PAR
 The effect of this loyal support was | evident today in every action of the ln- dians, both before and during the game | The support given the home club was , fully up to the standard of any previous worlds series in any part of the coun- try. and it was apparent that the Ameri- can League combination worked with more confidence and certainty under these conditions. Cleveland started so make the team feel that the entire city and section was behind 1t and believed explicitly in it's ability to win out from the very moment that the players stepped off the train after their disas- trous start in Brooklyn
 1 The game was played in perfect base-
 ball weather. the afternoon being so hot that many of the bleacherites sat throughout the contest in their shirt 1 sleeves, while women in all parts of the I grandstand used programmes as fans. There was not cloud in the sky ant | not enough breeze to move the autumn
 haze in the lazy late summer atmos- phere,
 Long before the game began every l part of the charter seat sections was filled, and tall trees and telegraph poles !, overlooking the grounds threatened to toppe under their burden of venture- some youthful fans. Neighboring house. ] tops. too. bore full quotas of men and women. while every window overlooking
 the park was packed solid with human faces during the entire game
 ENTHUSIASM HIGH
