CLEVELAND WINS
BASEBALL CLASSIC
Indians Took Yesterdays Game,
Making 1t Five Victories Over
Brooklyn Nationals.


the seventh and deciding game OF the 1870
series by a score of to o.
The shutout victory was chiefly en-
gineered by Stanley Coveleskie, the spit
ball hurler of the local team, who has
proved to be pitcher of remarkable
skill and endurance during the series.
Backed up by air-tight defense on the
part of his teammates at the critical
moments of the game the Sbamokin
PA, } coal miner let the Robins down with
five hits. But two Brooklyn players
reached second base during the nine
sessions at bat and but five OF the invaders
we're left on the bases all told.
Coveleskie's feat in winning three OF the
five games necessary to clinch the cham
pionship for Cleveland viii go down AS one
Of the outstanding features of Worlds
Series history and one of the most PRISM
inent and praiseworthy factors IN
struggle which has furnished more start
ling incidents than any similar series in
wears. The Brooklyn batters accumulated
but two runs off the moistened slant. OF
"Covev" as he is affeotiOnateiy en- lied
here. in o. innings in which he officlated
on the hurting mound He let the Robins
down with one run in the first game at
BROOKLYN on October s, allowed them n
second tally on Saturday and shut them
ont Yesterday. It il doubtful if more
masterlv exhibition of pitching has been
flashed before the fans IN any World
Series since 1905, when Chrlsty Mathew
son. then nj the zenith Of his twirling
career with the New York Giants shut
out the Philadelphia Athletics IN three
| games,
Great as must be the credit accorded
| Coveleskie for his remarkable feat IN
coming back after but two days OF rest
! and pitching his best game OF the sencs,
| the general offensive and defensive work
of the other members of the Cleveland
| club cannot be dimmed by the individual
! glory of their star boxman. The Indians,
| as a team. grew more impressive as the
| series progressed and their feat in winning
| four straie<t games from Brooklyn alter
/ pettine away to an Indifferent start,
! stamps the club as one deserving of all the
