WORLD SERIES OPENS TUESDAY CLEVELAND WELCOMES INDIANS

NEW YORK. Oct. s-The worlds series of 1920, the blue ribbon event or baseball will be ushered in at Eobets field. Brooklyn, Tuesday. Il
 The contesting teams. Brooklyn anu Cleveland champions respectively or the National and American leagues are perhaps more evenly matched than are worlds series contenders gener- ally.
 The expose before the grand jury in Chicago of the crooked deal in con- nection with the worlds series of last year apparently has had no effect on the coming games other than to make the players of both teams more deter mined than ever to make the contests a true test of the relative merits of both clubs.
 Reports from both clubs are that ! the applications for reserved seats far outnumber the seats to be disposed of and with the unreserved seats to be sold on the days the games are played, I it will be a case of first come first served. Few fans resident outside of Brooklyn and Cleveland will find 1t an easy task to obtain tickets and the for nation of a line in front of the box office many hours before each game IS expected.
 The meeting of Brooklyn and Cleve- land will bring together two teams de- voloped and managed by leaders of en- tirely different schools of baseball. Wilbert Robinson, manager of the | Brooklyn team. is a graduate of the Baltimore Orioles of the early sos, team that in it's day was in a class | by itself. Manager Robinson, how | ever, who has been constantly cor nected with baseball since the days of the Orioles, has kept pace with the pace of the game and thus has been able to develop. his team in accordance | with what he deemed the best meth ods of the old school of baseball, as
 we'll as to what appeared to some the
 best points of the modern system.
 Iris Speaker. manager of the Cleve-
 landers. generally is regarded as one
 of the greatest outfielders basball has 1 ever known He is at present the only
 playing manager in any major league
 and whatever his leadership has been
 it is sufficient testimony to his ability l ns a leader to have developed in less than two years an aggregation of play
 CTS that was able to win for Cleve- land its first championship in a majol
 league circuit.
 [ When the teams take the field Tues. ] day they will be in as good condition { physically as it is possible for twt
 teams of athletes to be after the stren 5 uous campaigns they have beeI t through. The races in both league were not decided as early as usual r Brooklyn winning the National leagui pennant less than week before th e close of the season, and Clevelan' / capturing the American league titl' r only one day before the close of tn e season.
 z It is almost certain that Manage t Speaker will call on his pitching acc
 Jim Bagby, in the opening game, un ]. less Stanley Coveieskie exhibits tn " better form. Manager Robinson wi 5, start either Marquard or Smith wit V the chances favoring the former be cause of his good pitching in recen games. An interesting feature of tn ' series will be that for the first tim |" in worlds series. two brothers wi
 appear as opponents. They are Jimm
 Johnston, Brooklyn third baseman, an

 man.
