New York, Oct 6.-In a pitching duel between the leading hurlers of the Ma tional and American leagues, Burleigh A. Grimes, Brcekfyn's spitball ace. today shut out Cleveland to in the second game of the worlds series at Ebbets field. His ability to hold the Indians in check when hits would have meant runs marked his superiority over James c. Bagby, whom Manager Speaker selected to add second game to the Cleveland string. The victory which placed the Superbas along side Iris Speakers Indians was due al- most entirely to the excellent hurlng Of Grimes, who had the heavy hitting repre- sentatives of the junior league baff1ed throughout the game so far as consecutive bingling was concerned. With the ex- eeption of the eighth inning, when Grimes temporarily lost sight of the home plate, Cleveland never appeared in the light of serious contender
 The inability of the Indians to connect with Grimes slants when hits would have meant the scoring of runs Is aptiy illus trated by the fact that the Cleveland clan got fourteen runners on the bags, of whom ten were stranded and four retired by subsequent plays. The Indians were not without repeated opportunities to score. But in the emergency Brooklyn's s moistbalI finging star met the emergency with a masterly collection of sharp breaking slants or slow breaks which cut the corners of the plate or shot in close to the body of the batter, with the result the seven hits of the invaders were so scattered as to be useless in run-produc- ing.
 Bagby was not as effective in the box for Speakers team as Coveleskie, in the opening game or his opponent Grimes, notwithstanding that he delivered less pitches than did the winning hurler. The Superbas reached his offerings effectively when runners were on bases, compared to the Indians, for the ten Brooklyn batters to reach first three scored, three were retired. and the remaining four left. The crux of the pitching analysis is shown by the fact that the winners scored three runs on seven hits scattered through six innings, while Cleveland with an equal number of swats was unable to send a run across the plate in nine innings. Uhle who replaced Bagby in the seventh ses- sion, proved more of a puzzle to the home combination, the Robins going out on strikes or flies in order during the tive periods in which he officiated.
 The contest. aside from Grimes power to puzzle the wincsrs of the American league pennant at critical times in the struggle, was as devoid of sensationa features and color as was the initial bat tie yesterday. Speaker pulled off another sensational catch in the fourth inning when he raced far over into Jamieson'. territory and hauled down Kilduffs lont drive. Right Fielder Griffith starred will a catch off the wall in the seventh wher he captured Sewell's savage smash in 2 manner somewhat similar to his thrilling handling of Speakers drive of Tuesday
 A flash of the defensive skill of the In disns was shown in the third session witt Brooklyn at bat. Bagby served up slov hoater to Grimes, wto promptly pepperet 1t into center fora single. Olson followed with a bunt which Bagby threw low t second Wambganss in his efforts to hol' the ball stopped low over the bag ant Grimes. dashing int othe sack, turned ,; complete somersault over the prostrate ill fielder Grifith's double to right score
