CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. o.
The Indians are on the warpath to-
day.
Chief Speaker called his clan to-
gether Immediately after the re-
treat from Brooklyn and handed
them some strong medicine to use
against the Dodgers. So the mem
bers Of the Tribe are out to lift a
few Brooklyn scalps.
TOWN GOES LOONEY.
AS the Tribe went on the war path
this mans town went looney. THIS
town has been waiting for the chance
to get all het up over a champion
baseball team ever since 1879. That
chance has come at last. and the NTH

Today at LEAGUE Park some $4,000
rabid ClevelArd fans and few hum
dred variegated buds from all sec
tions OF the middle West will see the
local champions fight for victory in
the fourth game of the series. The
weather was fair and a trifle humid
and the weather man promised Il
would remain that way.
The Indians are favored to even up
the count with Brooklyn today. Man
ager Speaker is practically sure to
send Stanley Coveleskie back at the
Dodgers, and as the tricky spitball
HEAVIER has had plenty of rest since
facing and defeating Robby's lads last
Tuesday. 1t is believed that he will
be able TO repeat, regardless of which
pitcher Robinson selects to hurl
against him.
There was much speculation on the
identity of the slabber who would
get the assignment from Your Uncle
Wilbert. The experts" failed to agree
on any one man for the first time
since the series commenced So.~
favored Rube Marquard; others said
JEFF Pfeffer was almost a cinch, and
there were others who figured thai
Robby might give Leon Cadore
chance to hand the Tribe a beating.
UNCLE ROBBY CAREFUL.
One thing was sure-Robinson was
certain to be careful in making a Sc
lection. He is taking no chances,
and he wants to safeguard the lead he
holds over the Tribe.
Cleveland is a long way from

shifted here today and the Indians
battling on their own familiar
grounds-grounds on which they have
been almost invincible for several
years-they were sure to fight harder
than in any game played to date.

Manager Speaker today. THE Dodg-
ers have us down right now, but
they'll never keep us there. We've
got something to say about where
the next victories are going"
ROBINS HAVE BREAks.
The Robins so far have had the
better of the breaks. They were for
tunate to win two of the three games
and they still have real fight on
their hands to win the world title.
1t is the opinion OF n majority of the
experts that the Indians will find
their batting eyes now that they are
at home, and IL Speakers team starts
amass 300 batting average this
year, the Brooklyn pitchers will have
their hands full.
Jim Dunn, president OF the Indians,
has a hunch that the series Is going
to end right here with four straight
victories for the Tribe.

LONDON. Oct. 9.--Russia is again
showing a defiant front to the Allies.
In addition to the news that Red
troops have renewed their offensive
against the Poles at some points, the
Daily Herald today revealed that the
Soviet government has replied in a
bold tone to Earl Curzon's note de
manding the immediate release OF
British prisoners detained by Soviet
Russia.
The British foreign secretary
threatened that Great Britain could
not undertake to promise she would
not give aid TO Russia'sn military
enemies unless the British prisoners
were released by midnight on octo-
Der 10.
The Russian reply makes the coun-
ter charge that Great Britain failed
to keep her part OF the agree
ment so the agreement Is not
binding upon Russia. The reply
is said by the Daily Herald to promise
the release OF British prisoners ms
soon as the Russian prisoners de-
tained by the British In Persia, Tur-
key, and elsewhere are freed.
The Soviet reply was signed by
Gregory Krsssin, one of the heads OF
the Bolshevik Trade Commission which
has been negotiating with the British
government.
Russian troops have renewed their
offensive against the Poles, despite the
fact that an ar nistice protocol has
been signed at Riga and the Russo
Polish delegates we're reported on
the verge of signing a preliminary
peace agreement.
