EBBETS FIELD, BROOKLYN, "
Y, Oct with one victory packed
away in the bat bag Of each con
tender. the 1890 world series was of
to brand new start on Ebbets field
this afternoon.
For the first time IN the series real
baseball weather favored he players
and fans. A bright and fairly warm
snn flooded the field. The sky was
cioudless. The wind died down to a
gentle breeze. The field seemed
lightning fast.
Manager Robinson. Of the Brook
lyns, was expected TO work Sherrod
Smith.
Manager Speaker. Of the Indian
tribe, was expected to send Walter
Mails, his sensational left handler. to
the box Mails had an old grudge 10
settle with the Brooklyn club. Once
the Dodgers management failed to
appreciate his work when he was
given his first trial IN major league
company and sent him back to the
minors Now, with six American
league victories under his belt TO
show for his second trial in fast
company, the "Duster" was ready to
go after his revenge.
Apparently figuring on facing left
hand pitching today, the Brooklyns
hit against southpaw work in their
batting practice.
When the Indians took over the
field. Clark, a second string right
handler, took the hill, and served the
ball TO the basmen.
A professional walker entertained
the crowd by trying TO walk around
the bases once while Lamar, Of the
Brooklyn gang, raced around twice.
The walker won easily.
Smith then took mis- place on the
hill and they were off, at 2:o1 p. N.
