CLEVELAND, Ohio. Oct. 8
There was some talk here today
of remodeling League park to
bring center field closer to the
pitchers' box, so Manager Tris
Speaker may know what is go-
ing on In that sector in the
world series here tomorrow. To
the average fan it seems both
of Cleveland's defeats have been
because Speaker couldn't dis-
cern that his first choice pitcher
had nothing but a pained ex-
pression. until the Dodgers'
tongues were hanging out from
running around the bases.
Some Cleveland loyalists have
it figured out this way:
If center field Is moved in far
enough. Speaker can observe
the tread of affairs without
waiting to see the Brooklyn
runs chalked up on the score-
board, or buying a newspaper
extra.
Many fans, however, were in-
clined to the superstition that a
jinx no* hangs over the first
man Tris picks for hurling-
Witness the fact that Jim Bag-
by, premier pitcher of the Amer-
ican league, left everything but
his wind-up on the bench when
he started Wednesday, and that
when "Slim" Caldwell made his
world series debut yesterday his
sole stock in trade was a girlish
gesture.
Anyway. the Clevelanders
were preparing to go out tomor-
row to see just what kind of
bird this "Uncle Robby" is, and
does he eat "razzberries?"
W ILBI'HT ROBINSON
"What did I tell you? What
club in baseball could have
beaten the combination of pitch-
ing. fielding and timely hitting
that my boys displayed? Sherry
Smith breezed through just like
I knew he would. He couldn't
help but get stronger all the way
through, feeling that he could
take a chance and have the boys
back of him. We've put away
two of Speaker's three pitchers
and found another one nothing Vo
worry about. Now we'll get Cov-
elskle and the series is ours."
I RIS SPEAKER.
"A bad flrBt inning told the
whole tale. Caldwell was off
form and the damage was done
before he could be relieved. We
have not lost hoptj how ever, and
we're far from giving tip. A day
■ioff will help the pitching staff
and when we get back home the
boys are bound to go a little bet
ter. The scries Is not over—not
half over. We'll win."

NEW YORK. Oct. 8. That great
but not excessively silent American
majority the Smith family—could
rejoice today, cousin Sherry Smith
ot Brooklyn, slipped bis team into
the world series lead yesterday
when he lefthanded Cleveland a two-
to-one defeat.
Cousin Sherry and his team were
entitled to win. Their defense wnsi
a trifle better and their offense de-
cidedly so.
Take ragged pitching by Cleve-
land, mix in timely hits by Wheat j
and Myers and season with one good j
break and the Brooklyn victory Is .
concocted.
"Duster" Mails had more bad ones
than a penitentiary. He sailed them
up with plenty of speed, but the sail- j
ing evidently was under secret ord^
ers destination unknown.
With the pitchers inclined to wild- !
ness. neither side showed a dispoai- j
tlon to rush the attack. The main J
tendency was to wait 'em out. I hat
policy kept men onHhe paths a great ,
deal of the time, but when it be- |
came necessary to hit to drive the |
runs in. there# was only slightly |
mcfi than nothing doing.
Mails probably look^l more bril-
liant than the others when ho was
putting the ball where he wanted It.
Smith was wobbly a great deal of
the time, but he was willing to let
the Indians take a cut at the ball.
The fact that Konetchy had
