Failure to Pass O'Neill
In Pinch Beat Dodgers
BY ZACK (BUCK) WHEAT.
Captain of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Copyright, 1920. by Universal serviceJ

Copyright, 1920. by Universal service.)
Brooklyn n. Y, Oct 5.-The In
dians had all the breaks. They got
their hits when HIS meant runs.
We had just as many hits but they
did not come at the right time.
OF course a post mortem on the
game reveals that we made one mis-
take in judgment That is when
O'Neill came up the second time.
This was in the fourth inning with
Wood already on second base. We
should have passed O'Neill and
nailed the pitcher. Instead O'Neill
was allowed to get a two-base hit
and brought Wood home. Gardner
and Sewell were already out and
of course we were reasonably sure
to strike out Covelcskie That is
the only flaw l can pick in our
game. The rest was more luck.
Speaker Cut on Hits.
Even at that Speaker cut down
several hits that should have been
safe. He was all over the lot and
he got me in the second inning when
l thought | had a two bagger. II
was a typical Speaker catch. Again
in the fourth when we thought we
had a start he fielded a drive and
cut ii down to a one-bagger. His
eighth-inninG catch tells our fate.
Coveleskic pitched wonderful
game. He had speed and excep-
tional control for a spitball shooter.
He fooled us this time but l don't
think We should have any trouble
landing on him the next time he
comes up. We have found him and
got him catalogued now
O'Neill certainly deserves a para
graph all by himself His two base
hits were the deciding factor as
each of them scored Wood. He
showed not only in mis- hitting but
in his work behind the bat that he
is all they say of nim-one Of the
very best catchers in baseball. Cove
leskie's triumph is due in no little
degree to the way O'Neill held him
up.
Three Stars Did Work,
1t was the hitting of O'Nein. the
fielding of Speaker and the pitch
ing of CoVeleSkie that were the
outstanding features of the game.
The weather was too cold for
Marquard He would have done
much better on warmer day. AS
it was he did very well, but the
breaks were against him Bui aft
er he had allowed five hits in six
innings Mamaux was sent in. The
reason he was picked was because
he is a very good finish-up man.
He is very fast: probably has as
much speed as any man in the
league and, in fact, there is no one
else who pitches in the same style
as he does. That he struck out
as many men as he did in two in
nings is proof enough of his value
in just such a situation.

Speaker Robs Krueger.

Ernest Kruger. the brooklyn
catcher, is the first man at bat as
the Dodgers batting side of the
eighth comes on.
Kruger is a powerful. long dis
tsnce sluEger. He is one of the big
league tourists, a man who moves
around much. Once with the
Yankees. once with the Giants, now
with Brooklyn.
What seems at first an unkind
baseball fate finally does Kruger
a good turn.
He smashes the first ball Coveles-
kie pitches at him. the crack of the
bat echoing through the stands
which are up to now rather quiet.
Only a few noisy Clevelanders with
megaphones in the upper tier keep
up a demonstration.
1t looks as IL Kruger has hit a
sure triple. The ball shoots out to
left center. Speaker is well over
toward the other side of the field.

WHY AN X-SERVICE MAN

Because he is helping to take are
Of his disabled Comrades. The Amer
lean Legion during the past year
helped the disabled men more than
any other organization. Millions of
dollars have been procured for these
men. This alone should make the
real American want to remain a Le-
gionaire.'
Because last year the Legion men
sent owe $4,000 to France to deco
rate the graves of those comrades who
did not return. The men who fought
and who returned gave this amount
to decorate these graves. More that
all the other citizens of the United
States gave. Isn't that a good reason
for belonging to the Legion?
Because the Legion is doing a great
deal for the veteran who is not dis
abled. By organizing and sticking to-
gether we can accomplish things. The
Legion put through ten laws last
year and has many more through one
or the other branches of Congress but
not completed.
