MELCHOIR HAS
SHADE ON ROPER

KENosHA Wis, Oct. Stony Mel
choir easily had the shade at the end
Of ten rounds over Capt. Bob Roper
Ia the heavyweight windup at the
Coliseum here last night. It was a
slow battle, with much clinching and
holding. and 1t greatly displeased the
crowd. Melchoir wanted to score a
kayo, but Roper's awkward style
wouldn't permit OF anything OF this
nature. Except for the last few
rounds. Roper never opened UP ana
took a chance. He was content TO
stay the limit and score light lefts.
Melchoir managed to rock Capt. Bob
several times with left and right hooks
TO the Jaw. but when the going got
very tough the captain would 60 back
into q well-protected crouch and play
1t safe.
The way Tony stepped out IN the
first five rounds It really looked one
sided. All Roper did was to hold on
for dear life. After he managed 70
reach Tony's nose and draw blood he
really took a chance. but would only
open for minute or so in the closing
rounds with a few slaps. There was
no power behind his punches.

BROOKLYN
HAS LOST
No PRESTIGE.
BIZ SID MERCER

STAFF CORRESPONDENT l. N. sERvIcEl
NEW YORK. Oct. 6--No team ever
lost less prestige by kicking of the
first game OF worlds series than the
Brooklyn National League club did
when Stanley Coveleskie tied them in
70 scoreless knots with his four-prons-
ed splitter yesterday.
The reputation OF the Dodgers as a
game, hustling team did not suffer IN
the least by this setback. To be sure
it was disheartening to see Uncle
Robby's boys Keeling back from one
bad break" after another. but Brook
Ign supporters do not think the luck
VIII run one way all through the
series.
Instead OF being downcast over their
showing against Coveleskie, the Dodg-
ers are more confident than ever. They
figure they have given Speakers
pitching ace" a battle that will keep
him on the sidellnes until after the
fourth game. and they do not believe
spoke" has another pitcher anywhere
near as good as him.
In the meanwhile Brooklyn's reserve
pitching strength has hardly been
touched. Any one of the three hurlers
who worked yesterday could go in
could work today as they made only
brief appearances on the slab.
MarQuard. when he was removed for
a pinch hitter. was going strong.
This IS the way Manager Robinson
figured It:
He matched three pitchers against
Speakers ono best and the mauling
Indians did not make any more hits
of the trio than the Dodgers combed
from the delivery of Coveleskie, rated
as the best spit-ban pitcher in the
American league. And don't forget
that "Coyey" had rested up several
days for this effort. while Jim Bagby
and "Duster'' Mails. who are the next
two Cleveland pitchers in line, were
pressed hard and somewhat overworked
in the closing days Of the American
league race when the White Sox were
making threatening gestures.
Furthermore, 1t was evident yester-
day that Speaker was ready more than
once to lift Coveleskie. One good
smashing hit at one OF two or three
stages Of the opening game would have
blasted the Pole from his pedestal.
Each team made five hits but Cleve-
lands bingles were more timely than
Brooklyn's and one base on balls yield
ed by MarquaEd developed into
calamity. Coveleskie pitched a tight
game. He had some OF the Dodgers
breaking their backs to guage the
breaks" on the ball. No other Cleve-
land pitcher is likely TO duplicate this
performance.
Another factor that weighed heavily
against the Dodgers yesterday was the
aelding OF Speaker, Sewell and Evans.
Speaker in particular rendered his
pitcher amazing support. The veter-
ans judgment OF blown flies was
something uncanny. There were q
couple of short iys he could not reach.
but he caught one that Evans missed
and Evans returned the favor some
few rounds later by crossing In front
OF his manager and plucking a base
hit out OF the air.

"begun" to express The past tense

some authorities on the uses of words,

ment that the better word to use is
