For the first time in thirty-eighs
years Of major league baseball Cleve-
land is a pennant winner.
Cleveland was represented in the
National League for seventeen years,
from 1879 10 1884 inclusive, and again
from 1889 10 1888 inclusive. Cleveland
teams finished second in three cam
paigns while the city was in the Nat
ional League. In 1900 the Forest City
was included in the American League
circuit and second place was the top
mark for any Of its teams until this
year. In the pennant races OF 1903,
1918 and 1919 Cleveland teams finished
second.
The Indians, as Speakers team is
known, were generally picked by the
critics last Spring as the probable
pennant winner. From the start OF
the season they were in or close to
first place. For weeks the Yankees
fought them. but never were able to

BY FREDERICK G. LIEB.

Reaching our final summary OF the
World Series contenders we find that
Brooklyn is predominantly strong in
pitchers and Cleveland in batting
strength and team spirit.
As we wind up our series 10 still Is
uncertain whether the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers will play the Cleveland Indians or
the Chicago White SOX, but Cleveland
is the favOrite, and by the time that
this appears In print Speakers team
probably Will have won.

iOrity In pitchers Offset CleVeland's

turned the trick. But as we twrite
this 10 becomes more and more evil
dent that the Series OF 1919 the only
one won by the National League in
flye years was not decided strictly
on It's merits. Whether Cincinnati
would have won in 1919 had all the

not prepared TO say. We know the

CLEVELAND is PENzVANT
WINNER FOR FIRST TIME

Just before the unfortunate accident
which resulted in the death OF Ray
Chapman on Aug. A, the Indians
showed signs OF slumping, and i'm
mediately after the tragedy they drop
ped seven Of ten games. 1t was
thought that the club was through as
a pennant factor, but the players raj
lied and fought OF the challenge Of
the White Sox, who came on fast
as the Yankees faltered in the stretch.
The Indians have been the greatest
batting team Of the year in the major
leagues, having hit above the 300
mark as a team. They also excel all
other major league teams in scoring
Bagby led the pitchers Of both leagues
in number OF victories with thirty
one TO his credit, and both Covleskie
and Caldwell furnished much aid in
winning the flag. Speaker himself,
batting close to 400 all season, was
a big factor in the victory.
