WORLDS SERIES GOES
TO CLEVELAND INDIANS

Stanley Coveleskie, mighty Pole, has
written his name in the baseball Hall of
Fame Alongside those of the great
Christy Mathewson, Babe" Adams,
Red" Faber and Joe Wood, worlds
series pitching heroes of other years,
the name of C1eveland's wonderful
hurler of the horsehide will be placed,
because Tuesday afternoon, he defeated
the Brooklyn National league cham
pions for the third time, equalling the
performances of those stars.
Mathewson, now in feeble health and
unable to enjoy the money that he has
made out of the national game, alone
has bettered the pitching of the Polish
wonder during titu1ar battles. big Six, !"
pitching for the Giants back in 1905,
hurled three shut-out victories. Covel-
eskie allowed the Dodgers only two
runs in the u innings he pitched.
1t was not thought that Speaker
would use his pitcher of Polish descent
Tuesday, but when Robinson started
warming up Burleigh Grimes, the star
of the Brooklyn hurting staff, the Celve-
land manager decided to use Coveleskie
in place of Uhle, who had been gener-
ally selected to start the seventh game.
And "Covey," with only two days of
rest, outpitched his famous opponent.
Only one real single was 1ndde by tHe
opposing batters and that did not come
until the final inning. Grimes hit was
a pop fly that Sewe11 failed to reach, and
Sheehan and Konetchy both made first
base on infeld taps. The Cleveland
pitcher did not pass single man and,
though his support was considerably
wobb1y, he was as steady as well oiled
machine throughout the nine innings.
Speaker and his world champions
| were given rousing ovation at the end
of the game. The crowd stood and
cheered each member of the team long
after the game was over, while the
b1eacherites made grand rush onto the
| field in a vain effort to catch Speaker
and personally show their appreciation

TWO WORLDS SERIES
RECORDS In FIFTH GAME

The caliber of the plays in the fifth
game may be gathered from the fact
that two worlds series records were
established during the hectic hour and
40 minutes in which the tribe of Speak
er tore great handfu1s of p1unage from
the stunned and helpless Robins. Never
before in the history of the worlds
series had triple play been made by
one player, and so seldom has this base
ball feat been accomplished in the his
tory of either major or minor leagues,
that each and every such play is fanil-
lar to thousands of fans. A home run
with the bases full is also an innova-
ton in the modern history of the super
series, yet both these records were
made at League Park at Cleveland
Sunday afternoon with second home
run, four double plays and a score of
other fielding and batting features,
which would have been acclaimed as
thrilling during the course of a normal
worlds series conflict.

Wambsganss Home Boy

There was something uncanni1y local
about Wanbsganss' triple play. The
Indians second baseman was born in
Cleveland in 1894, and after learning
the fundamentals of the national game
at Concordia College, entered the pro-
fessional baseball ranks. After COM
paratively short period of minor league
experience with the Cedar Rapids club
of the Central Association, he came to
the Cleveland team in 1914 and has since
been fixture with the Indians. That
native-born ball player of Cleveland
should have made such an unusual and
infrequent play is a coincidence, but
that a previous similar play should have
been made in the same park IL years
ago, savors of something beyond COIN
cidence. But II times in the records of
the American pastime has an unassisted
triple play been accomplished. Of these
features but two were previously scored
in the major leagues.
1t was Neal Ball of the Cleveland
club of 1902 and the present captain
of the Weissmen, who swept three op-
posing players out on a similar handl-
ing of the ball In that year, during
the game between the Boston Red Sox
and the Indians played on July 1o, Stah1
was on first and Wagner on second
with Mcconnell at bat when Ball &C
comp1ished the play which is the aim of
every infe1der in the game. Sunday
the stage setting was much the same.
Bith Kilduff and Miller had singled to
center in the middle of the fifth inning
and were perched on second and first
respectively when Pitcher Mitchell
came to bat. The Brooklyn hurler who
had previously relieved Grimes in the
box, drove a hot liner high and to the
left of second base Wambsganss leap
ed into the air and came down with
the ball clutched in the gloved hand.
Only Brief Hesitation
For the fraction of a second he ap-
peared to hesitate and it looked as
though the play would take the usual
course of a force out. Then Wambs-
ganss realized the golden fielding op-
portunity that confronted him, and be-
fore the startled spectators could grasp
the play, he had sprinted to second and
stepping on the canvass bag, eliminated
Kilduff who was we'll on his way to
third. Miller was tearing down to the
midway sack under the belief that the
hit was a safe one, and it was COM
paratively easy matter for Wambsganss
to run up the base line and touch the
oncoming runner and complete the first
triple play ever made by one player in
the history of the worlds series.
