Accos Open With -. 20 to 0 Victory


 In opening it's football season at Newfield Park yesterday the Ameri- can Chain team defeated the Mohican of Merlden. 70 to 0, and there was a large attendance. The Meriden eleven was outweighed several pounds to the man, but they fought a bril- liant battle and held the Accos score less in two of the four periods
 During the third period, one of the opposing ends, was carried off the field and taken to St. Vincent's f1os- pital where it was learned that he sustained a broken leg below the knee It was the first accident on local gridiron.
 Not once during the entire game vas the Chains goal line threatened Miller scored the first touchdown from the five yard line in the first period. There was no counting in the second period, but in the third Bakos made 30 yard run for touchdown and Moshier later tallied from the ten yard line.

Good Control Aids
 Bagby In Winning

Cleveland. Oct. 11.-viewed from a technical standpoint the pitching rec ords indicate that Bagbys superior control and ability to keep the Brook lyn batters hitting the ball in the air weEs the big factor in the Cleveland hurler's success, for in other respects there was little to choose between the work of the opposing boxmen
 Bagby threw the ball 109 times while Grimes and Mitchell sent it ptateward on 12S occasions Bagby allowed 13 hits and the Brooklyn pitchers 12, but Grimes and Mitchell threw 52 called balls to Bagby's 35. Eleven of Brooklyn's outs were grounders while were flies. Bagby
 threw 27 strikes. g foul strikes, and 6 fouls, as compared with 29 strikes. g fouI strikes and fouls for the Brook : lyn pair.

Cleveland, Oct. II -" Yesterdays game still was the main topic under discussion today, for few persons had ever seen a contest which produced so many thrilling situations and which appeased the Cleve1ands most, the r situations were favorable throughout to the home team.
 The game produced records for the annals of baseball and records which fans may live long before they will see equalled or broken.
 Wambsganss' triple play, Smiths homer with the bases full, and Bagby's homer after the slugging g O'Neill had been purposely passed before Grimes could get to the pitcher, will live in the baseball records. The first two never before had been duplicate in a Worlds Series.
 Fielding which was brilliant and sensational and at the same time steady. hitting which came when hit ting was needed. kept the thousands of spectators jumping to their feet. z Game of Wonders.
 j, It was a game of wonders which made it impossible for the Dodgers to have a real chance. although they outhit Cleveland. ts{ ,.

There were two new players in the Rover lineup. Roberts and Reilly and both boys played fine game.
 Mcdonald of the Stamford team missed a penalty that would have given them the game, but the Rovers held their own against the veteran Stamfordites. The feature playing was contributed by Reilly, Woods, At kinson and Holt. Next Sunday at Sea side the Rovers will play the local

1t Was Only Question of Time Until We Would Start
 Hitting" Says Iris Speaker-All Set Now to- Match the Best Brooklyn Can Produce

Speakers team has star, to hit the ball and the Dodgers who turned back the heavy hitters of the tribe in Brooklyn have their work cut out for them from now on.
 Ut was only a question of time until we would start hitting as we can hit, ' said Speaker today. And we're started"
 Asked regarding the pitching, he said:
 I've never figured that Brooklyn had us bested on pitching. What do numbers mean anyway? You can't use but one pitcher at a time and if that pitcher is right, that's all you need. As far as I can see, we've got just as strong a pitching staff as the Dodgers and we are all set now to match the best they can trot out"

By SID MERGER.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 11.-Sherrod Smith, Brooklyn's stalwart left hand-
 CT, who shut out the American league
 champions last Thursday at EbbetS Field, carries a heavy responsibility
 on his shoulders today. He stands be-
 tween the Dodgers and an utter rout
 for if he fails to win today, the
 worlds series all over but the shout
 ing.
 CIeveland's boast of four straight
 victories here is no longer regarded
 as an idle bluff The Indians, when
 they returned here after losing two
 out of three games in Brooklyn, pre-
 dicted that the series would never
 go back to F1atbush. That prophecy
 probably will come true if Speakers
 men can knock off Smith this after noon. We'll worn military phrases are be ing employed freely in this world s championship skirmish. Upon his ar rival here last Friday. Speaker de clared. we have, only, begun to fight" Now the Dodgers have their i, backs to the wall" They have been whittled down by the crushing de- feat of g. pitcher who was believed to
 be almost ,invincfble, and the confi- denee is oozing out of them.
 Bagby Curls Attack. ~ The vaunted attack which won for them in Brooklyn was curled up by
 Jim Bagby yesterday; They did not not | innings, but he did and shut them out for eight innings.
 | Smith will draw tough opposition today. Speaker is now in a position
 to gamble. He probably has no other thought than to start "DuSter" Mails today in the sixth game. Mails pitch ed splendid1y last Thursday and is 1 likely to be as good or better today The game may narrow down to a ] fielding break and the Dodgers are not getting those breaks here. They
 have been guilty of some stupid base ball. The Indians feel they have their l rivals on the run and will press every 1 advantage.
 l Brooklyns edge in pitching is fast l disappearing. The elimination of 1 Q@imes, the elevation of Bagby and l the scrapping of Galore, Marqua s | Maffaux and Pfeffer in one ga l are events that tend to equalize the pitching. Covelesl<ie stands out as the ] strong man of the series. Smith must I take his place beside Bagby or the Dodgers, are done. Wilbert Robinson still has the pitching quantity, but Cleveland is showing the quality.
 Grimes Finished.
 Grimes may not start another game unless the series goes back to Brook Iyn. He lasted less than four innings yesterday and will hardly be ready te work tomorrow if the Dodgers shoule !, need him. He had plenty Of stuf | yesterday but was up against thf
