and that threat of a rally vanished d
into the chilly air.
Sewell, the recruit, checked the
Dodgers with considerable abruptness
in the sixth. Marquard had been taken
out to make room for Bill Lamar. the
ex-Yankee, as a pinch hitter. Lamar
cracked a fast one that seemed to be
shooting over Sewell's head, but the
Alabama college lad leaped into the
air and speared it,
Zach Wheat brought over the lone
run Of the Dodgers in the seventh He
ratified the Polish splitter loose from
his moorng with a two-bagger to right
center, but the drive that the Dodgers
used to have was not behind HIM He
scored on infeld outs by Myers and
KSonetchy. 1t was the last time that
the Dodgers of yesterday seemed to
have a chance against the Indians of
yesterday
The Coveleskie tradition of the
American League seemed to hold in the
worlds series-if you can't get Cove
leskie in the first few innings you can
not get him at all. The Dodgers, who
slugged their way through in the Ma
tional League, did not get anything
like hit until the fourth inning. Rich
ard de Marquis Marouard, called the
Rube, pitched game that justified the
selection of Uncle Robbie, but it was
not good enough to win against Cove
leskie with the saliva coated pills
spattering correctly.
In the seventh inning Boy Mamaux,
one of Robbie's retrieved castofFs,
stepped into the box, and the Brook
lynites called for some speed The
youngster gave them some, striking out
three Indians in a row The speed boy
was replaced in the ninth by Cadore,
and he too was puzzle to the Indians.
Consequently, the defeat of yester-
day is nothing for the folk of Flat
bush to. get desDondent over. The west
wind practically blew one run in for
the Indians. The Rube broke even in
the matter of hits with the Pole. and
two relief pitchers from Flatbush the
Indians could not touch up at all. To-
day decidedly is another day
Speaker Checked Rally
Then, too, there is this to reflect
upon: iris Speaker, the inimitable.

with long drive along the right field

of Speakers there might have been a
rally there that at least would have
sent the first game to extra innings.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson, feeling far
from depressed, announced last night:
"Oh, yes, Coveleskie pitched q fine
game, but remember that | have some
pitchers too. We have just begun to
pitch"
There was a rush to the bleachers when
the gates were thrown open. but after
that the crowd seemed to filter in slowly
and somewhat moodily. In the houses
nearby scalpers were hawking worlds
series tickets at very slight advance.
Holders of reserved seats did not come
in any great numbers until nearly a
quarter of an hour before the game
