always rank well to the fore in the annals of worlds series games.
 The outcome of the third game in no way appeared to affect the confidence of Manager Speaker in the ability of his players to win out in the coming battles which switch to Cleveland tonight.
 We will win the series" was the com ment of Speaker as he left Ebbets field. He declared Brooklyn's victory, or rath- CT Cleveland's defeat, was due to better team work in the field by Brooklyn.
 'The Brooklyn helders were up on theil toes and certainly played great baseball" he said. while our men in the field did not do so we'll today"
 Manager Speaker praised the work of Shortstop Sewell. who only recently came into the major league and predicted that some day that boy is going to be one of the best"
 Manager Robinson of Brooklyn declar- ed that his opinion on the final result was still the same as it was before the first game was played.
 Just as I thought two days ago" said Robbie, "the series will be very close The clubs are very evenly match ed. But I think we have the edge on Cleveland in respect to pitchers" He paid compliment to his players for their gameness and the ability to stage a comeback.
 ''The thing needed in a worlds series" he said, "is nerve, and our boys certainly have plenty of it. Both teams are trying their best to win and their efforts should stop all talk of baseball scandal"
 It may have been a lucky thing for Brooklyn that Manager Speaker at the last moment decided to start Ray Cald- well in the box, for it was while Ray was on the mound that Manager Robin sons boys got. their two runs Ivy Olson, the Brooklyn shortstop, who has proved the most consistent player of either team in reaching first, his record for the three games being eight out of twelve. drew pass in Brooklyn's half of the first Jimmy Johnston promptly sacri- feed him to second and he advanced to third when Sewell fumbied Griffith grounder. Ivy completed She circuit on Wheat's hit to left and Griffith went to the midway. From that point the right fielder scored when Myers hit to short right.
 Iris Speaker. with the unintentional aid of zack Wheat. saved his team from shutout In the fourth the Cleveland ] leader hit down the third base line. Th9 1 smash was ordinarily good for two bases 1 but Wheat let the ball go through him and it rolled to the far corner of the lot. l Speaker continued around the bases and scored so easily that Wheat made no ef- fort to throw the ball home:
