 Cleveland, O., October 17.-0Special.)- The three Joes-Wood, Evans and Sewen
 were the first of the, worlds champion ship baseball team to get away Friday. Accompanied by Stanley Covaleskie, Wood left by motor for their homes at Sbamokin, Pa, and Parker's Glenr, N. ]. Joe Sewell hurried away last night to be sure to reach Alabama in time to see his football eleven play Saturday Joe Evans hustled to St. Louis, having re- ceived word he was needed in the hos pital where he served as an interne last winter.
 'Mistah Iris, you know I am going back to school" said Joe Sewell Don't suppose I could be little late to train- ing camp?"
 Nothing doing, Joe," answered rne manager of champions. 'In expect you to be about the first one there.''
 MUST BE REMADE
 The reason is that the Indian coa ches know that Sewell must be remade as d shortstop He has good arm. He is fast He stands up to the plate nicely and hits well. But he has no real field ing style, and Speaker. McCallister and others among the Indians intend to show Joe the right way to do things when they Set him at the training camp next spring.
 They had no such chance this fall They feared they might make him even more cratic than he was were they to worry him with lot of instructions The trouble with Joe is that he learned things wrong at New Orleans. He worked there beside Cotton Knaupp, who has a peculiar style of throwing to first. Knaupp can get away with it and Joe apparently sought to adopt him as the type he should copy. Joe now sets him.

 NEARLY A YANKEE Sewell, all but landed in the Yankee camp instead of becoming an Indian. A year ago last August, Sewell and Stew enson, his college chum, who is to join the Indinas next spring, were members of a semi-pro team at Clarksdae, Ga, a team that was managed by Gooch. for
 mer Nap and later one of Connie Mack Athletics.
 Bob Gilks, scout of the Yankees, heard about the two boys and dropped in to 1 look tfem over. He was impressed So was Ira Thomas. Philadelphia scout. who had come down in answer to a mes sage from Gooch, who wished to be paid, ! of course, for his tip.
 | Gilks thought enough of the two col l legians to request Gooch to act as the agent of the New York club and sign them up. Gilks, who was in Cleveland attending the worlds series games, says that Gooch agreed, but failed to do SO. The Yankee scout then waited until this year, when he heard that Sewell was playing with New Orleans. He looked him over and made New Orleans an offer, which, of course, was turned down, as Sewei belonged to Cleveland VICTIM OE NERVOITSNESS | "Sewell looked 100 per cent better in | fielding in the Southern League, says Gilks, than he did for Cleveland. The 1 boy was the victim of nervousness. He will be all right next spring. He can go to his left or right as well as any shortstop. He made his errors on balls | hit right at him..
