IRIS SPEAKER
HAS HIS BACK
AGAINST WALL
Cleveland Must Wiz,
Today To Haze
Chance.
By HENRY L. FARRELL

| UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Sept. 26.-What re-
mains of the Indian wreck will be
piled up for the last time today in
front of the destructive Yanks.
This Speaker was trying this
machine that blew up yesterday on
the Polo grounds. Miller Higgins
task was to keep the same red in
the eyes OF the "mBrderers' row"
With the count two to ore
against them and the season Slip
ping by at high tide, the plight of
the Indians was serious. If the In
dams are to storm and take PEN
nantvllle, they must advance even
with the New York lines by COP
ping the last game or getting on
their knees in prayer for a mir
acle.
Any other team without the fight
ing heart of the Indians could be
counted out after the trimming
they got yesterday when the Yanks
committed the worst murder of the
season by winning 81 to before a
crowd of 10000 spectators.
Just as many customers are ex-
pected to elbow in the big stands
today for the last stand.
The Yanks looked like the gov
eminent mint yesterday. Today
they may look like a pocketbook on
a pavement
All season they have risen to the
heights one day and crashed to the
rut the next.
Pitching selections were doubt
full this morning. Both leaders said
1t was too early to- say.
The Yanks, however, are expect
ed to fall back on Waite Hoyt. the
Brooklyn high school boy. who had
one of his good days in the first
game of the series.
Trusty Stan Coveleskie. the spit
balling Pole. was thought to be
Manager Speakers choice, although
Allan SOtheron. former shineball
artist and notorious bungler@ of
hunts, might get the call
BY winning today the Yanks will
have TO win only three out of the
remaining five on the card to cinch
the pennant
The Indians move from here to
Chicago tonight, where they have
four games with the Sox and
where they will meet up with Dick
Kerr and Red Faber.
The Yanks have the Athletics,
the Browns and the Red Sox in
front of them.

positions. He is short but solidly
! built and has an abundance OF
/ speed. Hayes gained considerable
reputation on college fields for his
thickness of attack. He catches
forward passes with consummate
skill.
In the backfeld, Eddie Novak.
Grover Malone and "Fratz" Potthoff
displayed snap and pep that augurs
well for the success of the team
this fall. Novak puts as much en-
thusiasm in his practice stunts as
ne does in a real game. perhaps one
of the best reasons why he excels
when faced by competition. Ed
dies old speed and shifting. sway
ing motion when running with the
ball, are still with him, and then
some. Potthoff gets away to a quick
start and carries himself low on a
line smash. Malone has plenty of
dash in Circling the ends and shoot
ing off tackle.
The return of Fitzgerald is pleas
ing news to the followers of the
team. While he can be used at
most any position on the line,
chances are Fitz will hold down
the center berth regularly, with
Hanson for reserve. FYtz was at
the pivot post with the first SQUAD
all during Saturday and SUNDAY
drills. He appears to be in ex-
ceilent condition.
Two full teams were kent going
yesterday, Jimmie Councilman
worked at half back on the No. .
from which place he
directed the work. Noisy" Thorpe
was used extensively at quarter
back in that lineup. Thorpe seems
to be a reliable man at that i'm
portant position, even though of the
midget type.
Everything considered. the pros
poets of the Independents are sbaD-
ing up in great style. Coughlin has
a wealth of material from when
to make his selections and all are
imbued with a splendid spirit. The
solid week of work put in last
week has brought many of the can
to well-conditioned stage
at this early date. while the late
arrivals are intent on WORKING
harder in order TO catch IN AZ
a matter of fact. the squad is get
ting in its training lick with an
the pep and enthusiasm capabIe of
being shown by college organiza-
ton.

The general admission figure of

could have been quite so popular
with football fandom in general.
That standing room will be at

ualty of the season. He emerged

had been injured. The extent could
not be determined off hand bat his
many friends are hoping that it is
not serious.
