BROOKLYN HITS HARD
(By Associated Press)


BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 6.-Grimes
fitted a fine coat of whitewash on the
backs Of the Cleveland Indians today
and the Brooklyns, champions of the
National League, walked off the field
with to victory in the second
game Of the Worlds series.
Grimes spitball tied the backs of
the Clevelanders in knots, while
Brooklyn's hitting was timely, the ma
tional leaguers getting their hits in
clusters when hits meant runs.
The Brooklyns went through long
batting practice before the game
Manager Robinson was anxious to
work his men out Of the batting
slump into which they had fallen in
the last week or so. John Miljus
went into the box for Brooklyn and
was ordered to put everything he had
on the ball so that the National
leaguers could face real speed and
curves.
Ready for Grimes.
Both Grimes and Smith took part in
Brooklyn's batting The Clevelands
expected Grimes to pitch against
them and. accordingly. the right.
handler, Uhle, threw up the ball for
Cleveland in their batting practice.
"A wind blown fly was the cause OF
our own downfall yesterday" said
Manager Wilbert Robinson, OF the
Brooklyns today. with an even
break on luck my club will show the
way to victory. Speaker ruined our
ball game with his catches in center
field. l think I'll tell our fellows to
hit the ball over the fence, then let
Speaker do his worst"
Before the game Speaker believed
that the edge now lies with his Ameri-
can League pennant winners in the
series. "We have looked the Brook
lyns over and my men feel they can
take the majority of the games,' said
Speaker, today. Brooklyn has a fine
ball club, make no mistake, and l have
my troubles to find pitchers to beat
them in long series"
Fans Out Early
The chill of yesterdays defeat and
a cold night did not freeze the en-
thusiasm of the fans, who came early
to the ball yard. Spectators seeking
seats in the unreserved stands began
to form in line two hours before sun
up and shivered and shook in the
Arctic blast that came out of the
north.
A ground-keeper. making his rounds
at midnight, heard heavy snore be-
hind the scoreboard in left field. He
promptly unearthed four men who
had hidden in the ball park after yes
terday's game and were taking a
nights rest in a nest of newspapers
back Of the scoreboard.
The wind had dried out the playing
field so that the ground-keepers had
to spray it with water to keep down
the dust. Those who came early to
the game bundled themselves up in
heavy coats to keep out the cold
while the players were jacketed in
heavy swea ters, except a few who de
fled the wind.
