centre. but nothing came of 1t. The
fourth session heard hell's bells ring out
anew for Grimes. They rang his knell
for the day, and the knell Of the Dodg-
ers, too
When Bagby came to bat In that in
ming he found Johnston on third and
O'Neill on first, where he had gone by
way Of an Intentional pass. The pitcher
then made the big bleachers in right
centre his target and planted the ball
right in the midst of the unexpectant
fans. This was piling Ossa on Pelion.
1t accounted for three more runs and
absolutely walloped the Dodgers into
submission.
In the next inning an error and hit
by Smith and Gardner gave Cleveland
its final run. The defeats to ranks
third among the very decisive and clean
cut setbacks suffered in world series.
Last year the Reds beat the White Sox
in one OF those crooked games by to 1,
and some years ago the Athletics threw
a 10 to 1 harpoon into our own Giants.
The crowd, which numbered about
$4,000 and jammed every nook and cor
ner of the park, was in high spirits
from the start. The weather was the
showed itself in the sky. Once more
men sat in their shirt sleeves in the
bleachers. Again the scalpers were in
evidence around the park, after a busy
day around the hotels, and paucity
of official action against them. Again
the neighboring housetops carried their
human freight Some of the fans even
mounted among the topmost branches of
trees beyond the outfield.
Sets Record for Cheering.
It was not only a big crowd, but a
good natured and colorful one. which,
as was the case yesterday, WAS ready
to set q new record for cheering. We
wonder how that crowd would behave
IL the Indians were getting the kind of
a beating which the Dodgers were forced
to take to-day. The test here has not
yet been made, and 1t is possible that
| it never will come in this series, for
Cleveland believes that it is going to
win four straight here.
| Every house in the neighborhood OF
the ball ground was willing to take care
of anything you wanted to leave out
| side, from your car to your dog.
Nearly everybody around the park had
something to sell, from a sandwich to a
1
per cent. over the face value.
| A fact which would have stood out
fmore If the game had been closer was
the absence of Jimmy Johnston, the third
baseman, from the Brooklyn lineup.
| Johnston was injured late in yesterday S
game, but kept the information to him
self He was sure that he would be able
| to play to-day. But the leg which he in
jured sliding to third yesterday still hurt
and Jimmy had to sit on the bench.
When the game was started Brooklyn
had Jack Sheehan, recently recalled from
| Winnipeg Of the Western Canada
+! League, in Johnston's place. but Sheehan
did not work before the contest. First
Myers and then Neis played at third. II
was thought that Myers would play the
bag and that Neis would go to the out
field. But when the umpires lined up In
! their positions the name of Sheehan was
announced as the Dodgers guardian OF
the hot corner. Sheehan made one very
Mad error. a wild throw on Speaker in
1.-THE fifth, which led to the making of the

ston does not come back tomorrow his
absence may prove fatal to Brooklyn's
chances, which already look n bit sick.
To-day's game was preceded by none
of the faummadiddles of that of yester-
day. There were no presentations and
I speeches. The players just went into the
| field to the accompaniment of the cheer
ing squads and the game was on its
way.
Brooklyn began to nibble at Bagby's
delivery in the opening inning. Olson

to third, but there he was left when
