oall champions of the world!
The Cleveland American
league club won that su-
preme title this afternoon
when the Indians defeated
the Brooklyn Nationals in
the seventh and deciding
game of the 1920 series, 3
to 0. Tonight Cleveland is
celebrating in a manner adj
equately in keeping with
the honors.
The shut-out victory was
chiefly engineered by Stan
ley Coveleskie, the spit-ball
hurler of the local team,
who has proved to be a
pitcher of remarkable skill
and endurance during the
series. Backed by an air
tight defense on the part OF
his teammates at the crit
ical moments, the Shamo-
kin, Pa, coal miner let the
Robins down with five hits.
But two Brooklyn players
reached second base and but
five of the invaders were
left on bases.

Coveleskie's feat IN winning three
of the five games necessary TO
clinch the championship for Glove

outstanding features Of the word S

prominent and praisoworthy fac
tors in a struggle which has fur

than any similar series in years

been flashed before the fans in
any world series since 1905 when

days of rest, and pitching his best

fensive and defensive work of the
other members Of the Cleveland
club cannot be dimmed by the in

grew more impressive as the series
progressed and their feat I'm win

Thousands of men, boys and
