leveland Has Edge in
“Dope” But Teams Are
Well Matched.
Cleveland Ohio Oct. 4.— Tris Speak-
r manager of the Cleveland Indians
inners of the American League pen-
ant bad bis team at League I*ark
ionday morning for a conference dur-
>p which he formulated his mode of at-
•ck against the Brooklyn Dodgers the
national League champions in the com-
’g world's series. The team arrived
rom Detroit Sunday night and will
■are for Brooklyn Monday night ac-
ompanied by many fans.
Although Speaker would not au-
ounce definitely who his pitching selec-
ion will be in the first game Tues-
ay it is likely that Jim Bagby who
ion 31 games for the Inidans this
eason may be called upon Stanley
'ovelcskie and Walter Mails aoth are
eady and may be called upon if Speak-
r does not think Bagby lias had suffi-
inet rest.
Should Manager Robinson start one
f bis left-handers in the box against
'leveland Speaker may send his rigbt-
anded hitting crew which worked so
uccessfully iu the Detroit and St.
ouis aeries into the line-up. That
would mean George Burns on first bat-
in the clean-up position with Joe
:ityd in right field. *

New York Oct. 4.—A comparison of
the offensive strength of the contending
teams iu the world’s series based upon
unofficial records of the season's work
indicate Brooklyn will enter the big
games at a slight disadvantage when
compared with Ckveland assuming the
two championship teams iu their re-
spective leagues faced opposition that
was approximately equal The Indians
have accumulated a great batting axer-
age of JUKI for the season while that
of the Superbas is .279.
Taking the regular players uho orc
likely to appear iu the world's series
the unofficial records show the Cleve-
land infield has a batting average of
.2b 1 while the inner defense of the
Superbas has batted in the aggregate
for .284. The Cleveland outfielders
as a combination has batted for .328
and the Brooklyn fly-chasers hit .301.
O’Neill Has It nn Miller.
O'Neill for Cleveland and Miller for
Brooklyn probably will do all the
• atching unless injury prevents and in
this department the Indians would be
stronger at bat. as O'Neill has outhit
Miller during the season by 44 points
O’NeiH'a mark being .326 and Miller's
282.
Baseball critics generally agreed that
Manager Robinson has the strongest
and best balanced frtaff of pitchers in
either league having no less than sir
men. each of whom is capable of tak-
ing* bis regular turn iu the box.
Bagby and Coreleskie have done
most of the pitching for Cleveland with
Caldwell as the next beet performer.
It may be possible that Manager Speak-
er will call upon Walter Mails the
young left-hander who Las made a re-
markable showing aince joining the In-
dians late iu August.
Well-matched Physically.
The average ago of tbc Cleveland play-
er: is 27 and 28 years. The average
weight is 176 pounds and the average
height five feet eleven inches.
The average age of the Brooklyn team
is 28 years the average weight 178
pounds and the average height about
five feet eleven inches. Thus physi-
cally the teams are evenly-balauced. The
statistics ou tbe players including their
full names their age and whether they

As a result of the great demand for I

erided to dispense with music at the *

iou to have a band on hand to help
lie Brooklyn fans ro<»t but. the attend- 7
nee of the band would mean that just ’
o many fans would be denied tickets.

sgoh noticed how carefully they studied
