MAILS THE HERO.

To Walter Mails, the youthful port
slider from the Pacific coast, goes the
honor for having pitched the most
faultless ball of any pitcher during
the series
Mails hurled is innings against the
hard hitting Robins, and came away
without having permitted a hostile
athlete to cross the plate. This
stands out as n great feat. especially
when it Is considered that Mails is

ond for a forceout and the season
OF 1920 was ended. excepting for the
winter scandal that Is to come.
Cleveland has been waiting for this
day since 1879, the year when this
city first acquired a big league team.
1t is a home city FOR the home team,
first last and always. and Tues
day was its great day. The dark
shadow that has been hanging over
all the professional baseball since
the series Of 1919 did not affect them
here. Iris Speaker was carried to-
ward the entrance to the dressing
room and damned there by the surg
ing of the Cleveland fans. He was
lifted to broad shoulders and passed
back ana forth. Smith. Coveleskie,
Gardner and the others were patted
by adoring but vigorous hands. The
prematurely gray manager of the In
dams finally fought his way from
the clutches Of his friends and forced
his way to where Uncle Wilburt Rob-
inson, of the Dodgers, was shuffling
toward the dressing room. The broad
smile of Uncle Robbie was gone and
he looked a little serious, but when
he saw Speaker coming toward him
the game old veteran Of many base
ball games smiled again and reached
for Speakers hand with his pudgy
fist.
1T was coming to you, iris" he
said. The crowd pressed around
them both and there were many vol
leys of cheering as the managers
went into the dressing rooms.
This is the second time that Will
bert Robinson with team that gave
the experts the horrors won a Ma
tional league pennant, but failed in
the fight for the worlds champion
ship.
There are no alibis," he said.
"They couldn't make any runs" he
said, land it takes runs to win ball
games"
Uncle Wilbert had planned to start
Richard Demarquis Vanguard, the
RUDE of a long and more or less
checkered baseball career, but the
RUDE was read out of baseball yes
terday morning by John A. Heydler,
president of the National league, The
RUDE had been caught trying to scalp
worlds series tickets and John Heyd-
Ter, after being convinced that the
RUDE had caught the spirit of the
age and had taken to profiteering
declared that he could play no more
baseball.
The decision was arrived at with
considerable precipitation. when one
considered that it took the National
league several years to get rid OF
Hal Chase. The news was sent to
Uncle Robby that the RUDE was BAN
ished and that the Punishment was
to take effect Immediately. That
left Burleigh Grimes to do the pitch
ing, with Coveleskie, the spitball Pole,
who had twice smothered the
Dodgers, to work for the Indians. 1t
was the hard luck of the tow-headed
Brooklyn pitcher to be the one who
lost the game with a wild throw
in the fourth, letting in the first
runs.
