Cleveland Crew Looms Up as
Formidable Opponent for
American League Rivals.
Left-Handed Pitchers Good.

p NEW YORK, March 17.-Tris Speak
err ard his Cleveland indians have been
the subjects Of generous consideration
among baseball wiseacres in sizing up
American league entries in the coming
campaign for the 1920 pennant.
When Tristram took command Of the
Indians, following Lee Fohls resigna-
ton in mid season last year, there was
some doubt as to whether or not he
possessed the qualifications necessary
TO successful manager, That doubt
has been removed.
Speaker made good from the start as
r manager, He kept the Indians fight
ing Until the very last gasp, and the
fact that they played even better ball
under his leadership spoke well for HIM.
Cleveland fans are of the opinion that
their hopes Of seeing the Indians an
mex a pennant would have been salts
fled last year had Speaker been in COM
mand from the start of the season.
Who knows?
The Indians of 1920. then. must be
considered as certain pennant contend
ers. ON paper they look TO be the
class of the American league, and the
fact that their appetites for the fame
and fortune that comes with the win
ming of a pennant and the playing Of
the worlds series have not been
satiated, indicates that they are going
to put up the greatest fight in the
history of the club.
1t appears that Speakers chances of
success with the Indians depend largely
on how his pitchers show up and how
he manages them. ri Itching has been

chased from the st. Paul club Niehaus

to make mp the deficit in the won
column that lost the pennant for the
Tribe last season. In other words
Speaker and his supporters believe a
club of the Caiiber of the Indians can
win a pennant with right handed
pitching staff.
The Indians have a lot of class In
addition to Niehaus. they took fourteen
Fingers to the training camp at New

SMASH IN WHEAT
PRICES OCCURS
(By Associated Press. }

Chicago, Sept. oi.-Wheat became
the target today in an attack on high
prices. An exciting smash in the
market resulted and final quotations
were 10 ga to 12 IA cents a bushel
lower than "a hours before.
General selling of wheat was pro-
voked by the striking contrast between
the recent upward tendency Of that
cereal and the downward course of
other grain and Of merchandise values.
The relative strength of wheat had
been ascribed chiefly to urgent buying
for export to Europe, but today, for the
first time Of late, important selling on
foreign account was Doted here. Big
receipts of wheat in Canada were said
TO explain to some extent the appar-
eDt change in the attitude of trans-At-
lantic interests.
The selling furry reached climax
in the final half hour Of trading. Dur
ing that brief period the rapidity of
downturns was at a bewildering rate
and the close was demoralized. The
lowest December delivery sold at 81
% to 1926 1-2 and March S2.i5 to S2.1G.
