Coveleskie's feat in winning three Of | the five games necessary to clinch the championship for Cleveland will go down as one of the outstanding features of the worlds series history and one of the most prominent and praiseworthy factors in a struggle which has fur nished more startling incidents than any similar series in years. The Brook lyn batter5 accumulated but two runs off the moistened slants of Covey, as he is affectionately called here, Tn 27 innings in which he officiated on the hurling mound He let the Robins down with one run in the first contest at Brooklyn on Oct. 5, allowed them a second tally on Saturday and shut 'em out today. It is doubtful if a more masterly exhibition of pitching has been flashed before the fans in any world series since 1905, when Christy Mathewson, then at the zenith f his twirling career with the New York Giants, shut out the Philadelphia Ath- letics in three games.
 Indian Team Work Good.
 Great as must be the credit accorded Covey for his remarkable feat in com ing back after but two days of rest and pitching his best game of the se- ries. the general offensive and defensive work of the other members of the Cleveland club can not be dimmed by the individual glory of their star box man. The Indians. as a team, grew more impressive as the series pro- gressed and their feat in winning four straight games from Brooklyn after | getting away to an indifferent start stamps the club as one deserving all the support and enthusiasm which their efforts have evoked.
 l In shutting out the Nationals in the final clash the Indians. led by Manager Iris Speaker, rose to playing heights which bore out the complete confidence of the club packers and fans in their ability to. prove their right to wear the
 baseball crown of the universe. They reached the spitters of Burleigh Grimes,
 the National league star deliverer of
 this type of pitching, for seven solid
 hits clinched the game before the half
 way mark and topped the play with
 several pieces of baseball strategy that demonstrated the possession of mental
 alertness which marks tae difference
 between a keen thinking and a mechan- ical playing club
 Cleveland Fans Jubiiant.
 That these outstanding features were appreciated by the Cleveland followers of the club and the middle western sec- i tion of the country generally has beer s apparent since the day the team re-
 turned from Brooklyn. But today the demonstration which marked the fina
 putout of Myers and clinched the cham. r pionship for the Indians surpassed an! 2 similar scene in several seasons. Thou. Q sands of men, boys and women poured a out of the bleachers and stands and en t gulfed the victorious players like a hu e man avalanche. It was a continuou e battle for the members of the team fl . their march toward the dugout, witl h scores of fans endeavoring to shak s hands or pat them on the back
 Iris Speaker, sensing the comini outburst of enthusiasm, made a dasl a from center field toward the gran, stand where his mother and other rela s lives occupied a lower tier box. Hi progress was slow, but once he hai
 reached the rail he vaulted over tn iron front and into his mothers arm u like a small schoolboy. The scene wa
 so unusual that for moment ther 1, was complete cessation of the cheer
 ing, which, however, broke out witt a treble vigor when Mrs. Speaker hugged Y patted and kissed her gray-haired sol = and the latter responded in a manne f. in which indicated that he regarde, if his mothers approval and batting ia f above any other rewards that migh Q come to him as a result of the victor if of his team in winning the greates
 honor that can come to a professions 1t baseball player.
 When Speaker finally left his moth y CTS side and started for the club hous - he was fairly besiesed by requests { = shake hands and autograph program and photographs. When he finally dis q appeared int othe passageway of tn e dressing quarters the crowds swep = back to the Speaker box, where the h cheered and demanded a speech fror q the mother of the popular player IT manager.
 y Ebbetts CongratuIates Dunn. e Mrs. Speaker met the demands of tn
 fans by waving her hand and was 500 o joined by Owner J. c. Dunn of the cluI . who addressed the throrlg for her. Dur u ing the height of the demonstratio y Charles Ebbetts of the Brooklyn clu
 crossed the field and congratulated th a executive of the winning team. The !. the throngs slowly dispersed to discus e at their leisure the successful clima m of Cleveland's 40-year battle for a ma
 jor league pennant and a world serie .v banner.
 a That citizens of Cleveland propose 1 is properly honor the occasion was show D. by a conference which took place be III tween Mayor w. s. Fitzgerald an l. prominent business men almost befoI a the final cheers had died away. It wa IS tentatively decided to hold a publ
 reception for the team in the puhli
