CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.-The Cleveland
Indians almost ruined four of Jour
Uncle Wilbelt Robinson's best pitchers
and took the fourth game of the worlds
series in this city to-day by the score of
5 to l. The series is even once more
and at the current writing 1t begins
to look like about the evenest series
that ever was played.
The Dodgers only got to Coveleskie,
the splitting Pole, once, when Jimmy
Johnston's single, followed by Tommy
Griffith's two-bagger. brought in the
only Dodger run. The Pole spat, the
ball spattered and the Dodgers swung.
But in the meantime the Indians were
maullng Lieutenant Leon Cadore and
young Mamaux. They chased both of
them IN rapid succession, and the vet
eran, Richard de Marquis Marquard,
went in for a spell. Richard or Reuben
was the only effective looking boxman
in the outfit, and he puzzled the Indians
until he was relieved for a pinch hitter
and Big Jeff Pfener wound it up.
Begins to Look Like a Worlds Series
For the first time this thing began to
look like worlds series and sound like
one. 1t was the first worlds series
game ever played in this place. They
have been waiting for it since 1879, and
they seemed to be thoroughly apprecia-
tive. All the things that were missing
IN Brooklyn were here, the pop-eyed en-
thuslasm, the raucous squawk and the
folks who sat up all night to get into
the bleachers.
IT was warm and misty afternoon,
and there seemed to be no scientific rca-
son why the soupbones of Robbies box
men should get wrong, but they did The
Indians got to Lieutenant Cadore for
TWO runs in the very first inning and
had couple of hits against him in the
second when Mamaux went in to daz-

Rube Has Weight on His Mind
But the Indians wouldn't be dazzled.
They chased the speed boy out in the
third and the hurry call was sent for
Rube Marquard. Now Rube has a
weight on his mind. Early in the day
he had caught the profteering spirit
and ne started to go into business for
himself, selling box seat tickets. A
couple of gents in plain clothes it is
alleged stopped the Rube's rush of
business and were hurrying him into
a common hoozegow or place of con-
tnement where he couldn't even see
the series. But friends intervened
and got the Rube away. Otherwise
the Indians might have had lot more
runs. Rube stopped them while he was.
in there and nobody else seemed able
to do it,
Coveleskie caused the Dodgers quite
as much annoyance as his brother
Poles caused their neighbors, the Rus
slams. Just 5 hits off Mister Ctans-
laus was the best that the Dodgers
could pull. The shifting Of the Dodger
pitching staff was a constant problem

one loft-handed and one right-handed.
but Coveleskie had the Flatbush fusil-
eers guessing to the end. The local
bugs were bit timorous until the final
inning, but they had no reason to be.
The Coveleskie legend, "lf you don't get
won't get him at ALL" held true.
Uncle Wilbert Blames Jinx
Uncle Wilbert Robinson is inclined
to attribute to-day's disaster to the
presence of certain jinX that traiicd
the Yanks to their doom here and else

breakfast and he came to the park, de-
spite all protests
If you should get word that Uncle
Robbie has slain certain apparently
atfable old gent, do not think harshly
of him. 1t will be shown befo's any
jury that it was a justiiable homicide.
The fourth game was played in per
feet baseball weather. 1t was a warm,
hazy afternoon, and for the first time
during the current series there was
something like the old enthusiasm. The
Cleveland bugs were having their first
worlds series and they were making
the most of it. The shadow of the
scandal of last years series did not
penetrate these regions.
The Indians trotted into their field in
their white home uniforms nicely
starched, and from the crowded bleach
ers there came "a roar reminiscent Of
