EBBETS FIELD, BROOKLYN, Oct
4 6.-Neveland's Indians succumbed
to-day to the same poison that laid
tout the Robins yesterday.
Spit ball pitching par excellence,
which Coveleskie got into the potion
Iof the National league champions in
the opening game, was served back
to them today and Brooklyn evened
the count by winning the second
game of the big series, to o.
Burleigh Grimes scored a shut-cuf
flor Brooklyn, holding the American
ileaguers TO seven hits. In only one
inning were the Cleyelanders able to
drive out more than one safety.
Just as Coyeleskie made the Brook
lyn bats almost useless yesterday,
Grimes used the same spit BAH slants
to battle the Indians today. He was
| invincible and breezed through the
entire game without facing danger
Except In the eighth inning when a
streak Of wildness seized hfn- He
walked three batsmen, bat pitched
with the dangerous Doc Johnston at
bat. He was backed brilliantly by
the entire Robin team
While Cleveland was making vain
effort to solve Grimes, the Robins
were having no trouble with Big Jim
lBagby. The big Cleveland right
handler was decidedly of the form
that won him thirty-one games this
wear. He was not only ineffective in
the box, but made the only error OF
the game, a wild throw to second
base, that made possible the second
run OF the game. Bagby was relieved
In the seventh inning IN favor Of a
pinch hitter, Jack Graney, who
famed.
George Uhle then took up the bur
den and performed most acceptably,
striking out three of the six men who
faced him.
Brooklyn's first run came in the
opening frame. After Olson had nied
out, Jimmy Johnston singled and
went to second on Griffth's inf1eld
out. He romped home when Zach
Wheat raped viciously to center and
by good base running stretched his
single into double.
Grimes himself started the ma
chinery that turned in Brookiyn's
second run in the third inning. He
singled and took second on Bagby's
wild throw Tommy Griffith came
through with timely double and
scored him. Bagby was IN a tight
place. He purposely walked Wheat
and filled the bases. Further scoring !
was prevented. however, when john |
ston forced Olson and Griffith was /
cut down at the plate. Griffith jumped |
into the Hmelight again in the fifth |
inning when he singled and scored |
Olson who had previously raped to |
center.
Cleveland had only two real
chances to score. In the second |
inning Gardner led of with double |
out Grimes by quick thinking. caught |
him off second when he ielded Doc
Tohnston's roller.
The eighth was a panicky inntns
or the Brooklyn fans. But Grimes, I
lfter walking three batsmen, re-
covered his poise and the danger
ras over. With the exception OF the |
eighth inning, not a Cleveland player
cached third base.
Ebbets field was filled to capacity
Lgain today, though the fans were
low in finding their places. The
was announced officially /
S 1884. With the game count even,
10Th managers probably viii do a lot
# bordering tonight over their
,itching selections for tomorrow. In

will be southpaw battle with Sher-
