while Brooklyn's hitting was timely.

Cleveland ..........s..... o 1
Cleveland On Waxpath.
The Cleveland Indians, with one
Brooklyn scalp dangling at their belt,
went on the warpath again today to
tomahawk the National Leaguers in
the second encounter of the World 8
Series warfare.
"A wind blown fly was the cause
Of our downfall yesterday" said Man
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. I think
I'll tell our fellows to hit the. ball
over the fence, then let Speaker do
his worst. I am inclined to use
Grimes In the box today"
iris Speaker believes that the edge
now lies with his American League
pennant winners in the series.
I'VE have looked the Brooklyns
over and my men feel they can take
the majority of the games said
Speaker today. Brooklyn has fine
ball club, make. no mistake, and
have my, troubles to find pitchers to
beat them in long series.''
The chill Of Yesterdays defeat and
a. cold might did not freeze the en-
thusiasnn " the fans who came early
to. the ball yard. Over; twenty thou
sand people came out to. see today's
the unreSerVhd stands began to form
in line two hours before sun-up and
shivered and shook in the Arctic blast.
A grpundkeeper, making his rounds at
midnight heard a heavy snore. He
;unearthed four men who had hidden
in the ball park after yesterdays s
game and were taking a nights rest
in q nest of newspapers back of the
score board.
Field Dried Out.
The wind had dried out the playing
field so that the groundkeepers had
to spray it with water to keep down
the game bundled themselves up in
heavy coats to keep out the cold,
while the players were jacketed in
heavy sweaters except few who de-
fled the wind.
4 The Brooklyns went through a 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 or
the ball so the National leaguers
co,,,d face real speed and curves.
Both Grimes and Smith took part
in Brooklvn's batting practice. The
right handler, Uhle, threw up the bal
