Coveleski Wins on
 90 Pitched Balls

Cleveland,' Oct. 13.-Analysis of the pitching records in the final Worlds Series game indicates that the super for control of .Co~eleskie was respon- sib1e for the victory, just as it was in the previous two games he won. The Cleveland pitcher kept putting the <ball over the plate, and Brook lyn batters were forced to hit at his first offerings.
 Coveleskie pitched only 90 times in the nine innings. while Grimes and Mamaux, the Brooklyn twirlers, were forced to throw 135 times. Only 21 of Coveleskie's efforts were called balls 25 were strikes, foul strikes and 5 fouls He retired 12 men on flies and 16 sent out easy grounders. Five hits were made by Brooklyn. CoVeleskie pitched only four times in the fourth inning.
 The two Brooklyn pitchers sent over more strikes than Coveleskie but they also threw many more balls. To- gether in eight innings they pitched 51 balls, 35 strikes, IA foul strikes, ' fouls. II men on flies, 10 on rollers and allowed hits.
 was 47 balls, 31 strikes, 12 foul strikes fouls, men out on flies and 10 on ground balls and hits. Mahaux threw balls, strikes, ? foul strikes, fouls, retired 3 men on flies. none on grounders and all fawed no hits.

Brooklyn Cou1d Not
 Have Won Anyway
Critics Unanimous That Dodgers Were Unable to Win Under Any Circumstances Weaknesses
 Barred Shameessy.
(Ry Sid Mercer.l

New York, Oct. 13.-The best team won the worlds championship in 1920.
 This statement is often made and nearly as often disputed. It is seldom that the experts agree on what the losing team might have accomplished with better breaks in the luck. This is one of those times, however. The critics unanimously united in a dec- laration that the Brooklyn Dodgers could not have won under any cir cumstances They were up against the class and it turned the scales after the third game.
 The weaknesses of the Brooklyn team were never baresl so shameleSs1y to th&world in the National League as when the Cleveland team exposed them in the worlds series. Man for man, position for position, the Dodgers did not measure up to their adversa- r1es, with the possible exception of Ivy Olson, who outshone Joe Sewell.
 Cleveland Had Quality.
 They depended upon the quantity of their good pitchers Cleveland won with quality. Only one man can pitch at a time, and the Indians had a man who could kill off a couple of the Brooklyn boxmen any time he started. Stanley CoVeleskie now takes his stand with Mathewson, Adams, Dineen, Coombs, Faber and Wood,
 
 tories in previous worlds champion ships. He is really one of five inn mortals, for Wood and Faber were not started three times, but merely finished their third game.
 One has to go back. to Matty's per- formance of 1905 against the Ath- letics to find a parallel to Covelesllie as a shutout performer Matty blank ed the Mackmen three times and Coveleskie practically did the same to the Dodgers. They scored one run in Brooklyn and one run last Satur- day, but on both occasions Covey had the game well in hand. Two runs in 27 innings is not light battRg-it's s good pitching. There are no dissent CTS from the opinion that the Indians are a much superior team to the Brooklyns all the way through. Wher a team scores only two runs in the last 32 innings of a Worlds Series when it is outbatted and all it's bes pitchers sent to, the junk pile there is no other answer.
 The one spot in which the Nationa 1 League champions eXcelled was il ] the fielding. Sewen alone made l enough errors to prevent Cleveland ] from leading in defense too. Blu , Cleveland errors were, not timely fol ! the Dodgers. and Brooklyn pebble! ] were costly. One gave Cleveland tht ] winning run yesterday.

Paris, Oct. 13.-"Duke" Kahana- moku, Keoloha and Norman Ross, Hawaiian and American swimmers, not only smashed French swimming records during their recent visit to Paris, but established marks in an other branch Of sport that will stand for all times, according to the man. ager of the hotel at which they stopped. He is willing to hand them the eating championship of the world.
 'Mon Dieu, they command ze bif- teck with pommes frites, three of them,'' said the hotel man. The waiter produced what is generally thought at the hotel as sufficient alleged to have confiscated the whole platter while both Kahamamoku and Keoloha were inquiring where their own steak was All the gesticu1ating eloquence of the headwaiter failed to convince the trio that the steak was meant for three. Vegetables, ham and eggs, cheece, fruit desserts followed in turn while the manager moaned.

Cleveland, O.. Oct. 13-With the fifth city of the United States in the matter of population definitely assur- ed of being the first city of the base ball universe for at least 12 months, Cleveland today settled back to en- joyment of the worlds championship baseball honors brought here by Jim Dunn's Indians when they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 3 to D, yester- day and captured the annual series by five games to two.
 Cleveland, AZ years a hanger-on in professional baseball. turned its thoughts today to devising new ways of showing appreciation of the prowess of the athletes who finally made this city the worlds baseball capital.
 Although several watches. medals, automobiles, loving cups and half a dozen floral wreaths of unusual size have been presented to the winning players by appreciative fans, C1eve- land believes it has done little for the American Leaguers and is getting ready to let the world know just how it feels about possessing q champion ship ball club.
 The first of a series of celebrations will be held tonight and Mayor F'itz- gerald has issued proclamation calling on all good citizens within metropolis to be present tonight at Wade Park and pay official homage to Iris Speaker and his tribe.
 When the players go home they probably will be honored further, for Sandusky, O.. already is arranging a big homecoming for Elmer. Smith.

Two Touchdowns In
 Yale Teams Practice

New Haven, Oct 1s-Two touch downs were made by Afdrich for the Yale varsity in it's serimmage yester- day afternoon against the scrub eleven. One of them was made on line plunge after the varsity, in close formations, had rushed the ball to the five-yard line. The second touchdown was made on a ten-yard end run, after the varsity had varied it's offense, and had gone eight yards on close formations, a forward pass from Kenpton to Kelly and an end run by Kempton.
 Kelly, who was left ha1fback on the second team, was moved over to right halfback on the varsity. The line continued with the changes made Quai1e and Into at guards and Mac kay at tackle. Shevlin had a try-out at left end. Sourbeck was in uni form for the first time in several weeks. and will have a try at end on the scrub team. He is twenty-one years old, six feet tall and weighs 1855 pounds. The end situation is one of the hardest ones Yfe has to face. Clarance F. A1cott, a11-American end in 1907 and coach Of ends in 1916, assisted Vaughn and Mosely with the ends.

pftchouts on these plays. Each time the play was broken up and the Cleveland base runner easily trapped.
 The pitching superiority of Cleve- lands trio Of fingers is indicated in the scores of the games. Backing up Coveleskie's almost unheralded work, Walter Mails came through with 15 Is shutout innings including a three hit game and Jim Bagby pitched two good contests, winning one and losing one. George Uhle, second string hurler, pitched good ball on his short appearances. Only Caldwell, who was knocked out of the box in one inning, fell down.
 Smith twirled two fine games for the Dodgers but had the misfortune to be pitted against Mails in one, and lost it. Grimes turned in a shutout victory and then twice was knocked out of the box. The other pitchers were hammered without favor.
 Many Record Fall.
 Numerous records of minor inn portance were broken in the series, but standing above all were Wams- ganss' unassisted triple play, and Ell mer Smiths home run with the bases full.
 The Brooklyn club today was on it's way back home where it will dis band until next season. The eastern players were generous in praise fol their conquerors, frankly admit ing that the best team won.

Local Boxer Refuses to Box in Hartford Because of a

Claiming that he has sore throat and will be unable to fight, Lou Bogash of this city has called off his engagement with K. O. Loughl1n scheduled for tomorrow night in Hartford. The Hartford promoters charge that the local man is giving that excuse to run out of the match which would be a tough one for Bo- gash. Loughlin recently gave Benny Leonard one of the toughest bouts the champion ever experienced. In place /of the Bogash-Loughlin bout, the Lib erty promoters arranged a match be-

CARPENTER PUTS
 LEvINSkY AWAY
Former Bridgeport Man Makes Poor Showing
 Against French Boxer.

Georges Carpenter, heavweight champion of Europe, knocked out Bat ting Levinsky, light heavyweight champion of America, in hhe fourth round of one sided contest last night in the Jersey City baseball grounds in the presence Of l5,0OO persons.
 The knockout blow, short right to the jaw, was delivered after one minute and seven seconds of boxing in the fourth round. Levinsky was in a neutral corner at the time he received the blow and he fell through the ropes and lay on his back. on the edge of the ring platform, where he was counted out by Referee liar ry ErtIe. The F'renchman left the ring at once, and Levinsky on being assisted to his corner received the att tention of his seconds, who apparent ly had considerable trouble in reviv- ing the beaten man.
 It was the worst looking bout that Levinsl1y ever put uRr The cleverness and ring generalship he had exhibit ed in all previous bouts were missing and he fought like an awkward mo- vice. He did not land one effective blow during the entire four rounds, and did not seem to be able to get out of his own tracks, cit alone avoid the attack of his opponent.
 The F'renchman cut loose in two rounds, the second, in which he SCOT ed two knockdowns, and the fourth, in which he administered the coup de grace.
 Carpenter was a top heavy favor ite and there was an abundance of money to back him for a knockout in four rounds. This condition of af- fairs, coupled with the palpably poor contest put up by the Battler, gave the onlookers an unpleasant impress sion

Evans whipped the ball into the net several times from diffi- cult tries. Lewis was credited witk several clever goals assisted by pass ing from Harkins, good teamwork making the goals possible.
