CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 9.-Cleve-

today, grabbed their tomahawks and
started out
Unmindful of the fact Brooklyn was
the favorite, credited with two games
to one, the tribe of the Big Chief
Speaker, still hearing the cries of his
home town folks, you can do it,"
were ready for the task of overcom-
ing the advantage of the Robins.
While the fans were thronging out
side the gates waiting to pay their
toll for the first world series game
this Ohio city has ever seen, Speaker
and his tribe were In . pow WOW de-
Gliding how it could best be done.
The general impression was the
task of evening the count would be
delegated to the spit ball hand of
Stanley Coveleskie.
Pitching selections were rather
doubtful as far as Brooklyn was con-
cerned.
However, the impression grew that
Rube Marquard, veteran OF five base
ball classics, would make another ef-
fort to win. Some picked AL Mamaux
as the logical starter.
Both Speaker and Robinson, with
the idea in mind of foiling the gam
blers. refused to commit themselves
definitely.
Where interest in the series was
lax in Brooklyn, general enthusiasm
was evident here.
All seats for the park were sold
in Brooklyn and they are here-but
Cleveland talks baseball and Brook
1yn didn't.
Everyone was enthused. over the
chances of the Indians to equal the
feat of the Cincinnati Reds and bring
another worlds series flag to Ohio
Cleveland fans were disposed to lg-
nore the Indians reverSes in the east
and were banking upon squirt on the
home lot to fulfill their dreams OF a
decade.
What the managers say:-Wilbert
Robinson: "If our pitchers perform
ND to the standard of the first three
games, / don't see how we can lose.
Some of the team think they won't
play again in Brooklyn this year, the
idea being that we still tahe the nee
eSSary InTSo SdIucS hclO 'SA'S'>
we can beat the Indians and Will, put
I prefer to count my victories day
by day, instead of figuring in advance
that we can't lose.'
Iris Speaker: I'VE have just be-
gun to fight. You know they had
Ms down a few times in the American
league, but they could not keep US
down. Brooklyn has us down now,
but they can't keep us down. We
have been hitting harder than Brook
lyn, but our hits unluckily have been
going right at their fielders. We
figured on taking two out of the first
three, and didn't SO well make it up
here"
