with the ball nesting In it.
The crowd gasped. Then II forgot its
partisanship In It's admiration for the
play, and a flock of cheers went up for
Iris Speaker, outfielder par excellence.
Myers and Konetchy went out in quick
succession. Then for the third time
Cleveland came to bat.
Though Evans started the third with
walk and got to second on Wambs-
ganss's sacrifice, the round produced
nothing in the way of Cleveland scoring.
1t was the luIl in the attack. A fine
stop by Sewell on Kilduff featured the
Brooklyn third, In which the Dodgers
once more were retired in one, two, three

gers had faced Coveleskie. No Dodger
had got a hit, nobody had got to first

land attack unleashed again. 1t saw
O'Neil get his second double and gain
the preeminent place among the major
figures OF the afternoon. 1t saw Joe

Cleveland attack. for Joe also drove out
a two base hit
Wood Gets Two Dagger.
Gardner started the fourth. but again
he failed to drive the ball out Of the in
field. Wood then smashed the ball to
left centre for q double. If the ball had
not bounded off the bleachers 1t would
have been a triple. SewelI made
valiant try, but Myers got his long fly
1t was distinctly up to O'Neil once more.
Steve picked out a nice low one and put
1t in pickle. This time he selected right
field as his target, and while he raced
to second Wood came home with the
third and last run for the Indians
Coveleskie was an infield out and the
Dodgers came in from the field. Silence
hung over that park as thick as fog
over London on one Of those nasty
nights. Once the derisive shouts of
little body of Cleveland sympathizers
rent the air, but they died quickly.
This was tremendous handicap for
the Dodgers to face--a three run lead of
the enemy and a pitcher who refused to
give up any hits. as well as defence
which would not break. But the Dodg-
ers had pulled many game out of the
fire during the pennant season, and
they felt that they could do 1t again.
Brooklyn did not wait long to develop
the attack against Coveleskie. Olson
opened the fourth inning with the first
hit off the Pole--a single which Wambs-
ganss would have converted into an out

The ball fell directly behind the second
sacker But Jimmy Johnston forced the
Swede Griffith singled to short centre.
Covelesiie was in trouble for the first
time. But he did not remain in IT for
Icing. Wheat and Myers lifted to the out
field. Brooklyn had not scored, but 1t
had demonstrated that Coveleskie could
be hit. and that was something after all.
Olson Hits Again.
Olson got second single of Coveleslsie
in the sixth. but Sewell helped retire the
Dodgers with a remarkable catch Of a
high one from the bat of Bill Lamar,
who had been sent in to hit for Mar

The seventh inning saw the Dodgers.

was retiring Myers and scored when
Konetchy grounded to Burns. In the
eighth Mitchell, batting for Mamaux,
singled to right and Olson got a pass,
but Brooklyn gained nothing in the
score.
After the fourth inning things went
in favor of the Dodgers. But previous
to the fifth things went altogether too
much in favor of the Indians, so their
later failure to hit was not as damag-
