THE liquor element boasts that it

mo thinking man can doubt that
Prohibition right now has it's hardest
fight ahead of it. We have legislated
the saloon out of business, but it is
making a determined fight to come
back. The liquor forces, driven to
the last ditch, are making the hardest
fight of their lives. Renewed at
tacks now are being made in the
courts to nullify the Prohibition
laws.
While these legal moves doubtless
will be checkmated by the able coun-
sci representing the drys, it cannot be
done without great expense. If we
are to see the work of years upheld
and indicated we must provide the
funde with which to bring it about
We must more than match dollar for

must provide sufficient funds to over

CHICAGO. Oct. 6-Three years ago
while the White sox were training at
Mineral Springs. Tex, an inmate of
that noted health resort took a party
of the athletes on q hunting trip.
They rode out into the hills in the
hosts car, in which was an empty
suitcase. Joe Jackson killed a skunk
and he and VILLA ms and Cicotte hid
the body in the suitcase, after wrap

This trivial incident is cited to
show what an athlete can accomplish

acorns grow. From that small begin

years ago. but the world has changed
very little in that lapse OF time. In

hero of the bleeding heart and hand.
The serpent he had warmed and fed

BY SIb MERCER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-No team
ever lost less prestige by kicking off
the first game Of world series than
the Brooklyn National League club
did when Stanley Covesleskie tied
them into scoreless knots with his
four-pronged splitter yesterday.
The reputation Of the Dodgers as
a game, hustling team did not suf-
fer in the least by this set back. To
be sure, it was disheartening to see
Uncle Robby's boys reeling back
from one bad "break" after another,
but Brooklyn supporters do not think
the luck will run one way all through
the series.
Instead of being downcast over
their showing against Coveleskie, the
Dodgers are more confident than ever.
They figure they have given Speakers
pitching ACE a battle that will keep
him on the side lines until after the
fourth game, and they do not believe
Spoke" has another pitcher any,
where near as good.
In the meanwhile Brooklyn's re-
serve pitching strength has hardly
been touched. Anyone of the three
hurlers who worked yesterday could
go in again tomorrow. Mamaux and
Galore could work today, as they
made only brief appearances on the
slab. Marquard, when he was re-
moved for a pinch hitter, was going
strong.
This is the way Manager Robinson
figures it: He matched three pitchers
against Speakers one best, and the
mauling Indians did not make any
more hits off the trio than the
Dodgers combed from the delivery of
Coveleskie, rated as the best spitball
pitcher in the American League.
And don't forget that Convey" had
rested up several days for this effort,
while Jim Bagby and "Duster" Mails.
who are the next two Cleveland
pitchers in line were pressed hard
and somewhat overworked in the clos
ing days of the American League
race when the White SoA were max
ing threatening gestureS.
Furthermore 1t was evident yes
terday that Speaker was ready more
than once to lift Coveleskie. One
good smashing hit at any one Of two
or three stages Of the opening game
would have blasted the Pole from his
pedestal.
Each team made five hits. but Cleve-
lands bingles were more timely than
Brooklyn's and one base on balls
yielded by Marquard developed into
a calamity. Coveleskie r. ched a tight
game. He had some of the Dodgers
breaking their backs to guage the
breaks" on the ball. No other Cleve-
land pitcher is likely to duplicate
this performance.

Another factor that weighed heav-
lily against the Dodgers yesterday was

Bob Shawkey, who defeated the CIeve-
land team seven times in eight starts
this season. He was ready to step
out yesterday, but, Uncle Robby pre-
ferred Marquard.
The American league champions did
not muster a strong offense against
left-handed pitching, though Speaker
took out three of his regulars-John-
ston, Smith and Jamieson--and sup
planted them with Burns, Wood and
Evans. Speaker himself did not get
a hit off Marquard or Mamaux and
did not come up against Galore.
The fact that Speaker kept Mails
warmed up and ready to rush to
Coveleskie's relief yesterday indicates
that he will start Jim Bagby against
Grimes today. Mails, however, may
get the assignment, as he Is big
strong fellow. capable of working
every other day.
LOOK FOR BREAK.
The Dodgers predict the break will
come In this series when one of
Speakers three head-liners is knock
ed out. The Cleveland manager can
not afford to use his frst string men
as relief pitchers and the Indians may
thus get a bad beating that will low
CT Ineu
On the other hand, Manager Rob
lnson can hurl one good slabman
after another into any single game
without running the risk of exhaust
ig his supply of head-liners. He
proved that yesterday when he used
three men in the box.
Thus do the Dodgers pin strong
faith on the ability of their pitchers
to pull them through when they can
not get any runs for themselves.
The series opened quietly and
without the usual frills. The attend
ance Of 23,s65 was below capacity,
which IL not surprising when II is
remembered that for the last few
days the fans have been told repeat
eddy that only few thousand could
be granted general admission each
day. The grandstand was filled yes
terday, but many more could have
been placed back of the outfeld.
The receipts were much lower than
on the first day In Cincinnati last
year. No records for attendance or
gate receipts will be cracked in this
years clash.

IL was both a giadish and sor-
row-somo day for Brooklyn. Some
thing like a big wedding where
they hire the camp chairs from the
village undertaken.
The Master Brainstorm had all

But they were short-circuited by a
ball team inside OF centernelder's

who works overtime like a billing
clerk who hopes To marry the boss
daughter some day. This bird,
Speaker. is so lonesome that he
runs into the pitchers box to
snitch pop files just for an excuse
to talk with the second baseman
on the way.

He wheels into left and right
fields after loose pills. He saunters
over and feels the right fielder's
pulse. IL the wrist csrburetor reg

into the protecting folds of the

Speaker spilled ashes on the slide.

other war for Iris, because he amt

He didn't act like a fielder. He
acted like a tourist. Against a
uniformed geurrilla like that. the
Master Mind is as futile as

The frog who would see Toxic

Speaker. He cries himself to sleep
every night because nobody ever
pokes any fouls into center field.
THE MASTER MIND SPEAKS.
But the Master Mind has shaken
up that hodful OF scrambled tripe
under his Master Hat and announces
that today is another day. Even the
foes of the Administration admit
this is on the level. He has hired
rough-elbowed gangster to put
the tap on Speaker. The lamb will
