TMMND WON INITIAL GAME New York, Oct ©5.—The Cleveland American League club decisively defeat- ©d the Brooklyn Nationals by the score of 3 to 1 in the initial game of the 1920 world series here this afternon. The victory, which was for more im- pressive than the score indicates, was won by perfect team play, sparkling with brilliant individual work on the part of the Indians, which made the efforts of the Superbas dull by compar- fson. The opening contest was Witnessed by s throng of baseball fans which tested cent of football rather tham America’s great summer sport. So cold did it grow as the contest developed, that the frigid atmosphere appeared to chill the enthusiasm of the spectators and as Cleveland checked each effort of the Brooklyn players to become a real fac- tor in the battle the cheering and root- ing faded away until only occasional bursts of applpuse rewarded outstanding plays. The high wind also played havoc with the flelding of fly balls, of which thére ‘were an unusual number.

Manager Robin- son of Brooklyn tried every artiice of baseball to turn the defeat into. victory in the closing innings, sendin_ two pinch hitters in%o the game without effect, which explains in part the appearance of three pitchers in the Brooklyn *box sqore.

Coveleskie threw 24 balls, Marquard 31, Mamaux 9 and Cadore 2, while their respective to- tals for missed strikes were 22, 21, 10 and 1. The Brooklyn batters fouled off nine pitches for strikes and the Cleve- land men 14.

Saer- CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, Oct. 5.—Wheat prices eol- lapsed today to a new low level. Every upturn in the market led to heavy selling, and in the end buying power faded away, With talk current that some difficulty had beeg met in financing wheat at the seaboard. The close was unsettled 2 1-2 to 6 cents net lower ; December 189 1-2 to 190 and March 1-4 to 138 1-2. Corn lost 7-8 to 1 1-2 and oats a shade to 3-8 to 1-2 cents. In pruvisions the outcome ranged fom $1.40. Decline to 72 cents advance. At the outset in the wheat pit, a gen- eral rush to sell carried the market down- ward, but shorts covered freely and dur- Ing most of the morning prices although widely fluctuated averaged higher than yesterday’s ‘finish. Foreign buying of fu- ‘Y ture deliveries was noted, and it was said France would purchase 85,000,000 bu- shels from November 1 to July 1. After mid-day, however, sellers outnumbered buyers and in the last thirty minutes had almost a complete monopoly. Corn and oais were bearishly affected by the set- back of wheat values. Both the feed grains as well as wheat went to the low- est prices thus far on the crop. Lard and ribs were strengthened by reports of a better trans-Atlantic call. ooting was missing and there was liftle | thronized with men and boys but these ROBINSON INTENDS TO PITCH GRIMES TODAY New York, Oct. 5 -— After the jame today, Manager Robinson ot ae Brooklyn team said: “1 will probably give the Cleve- nd batters some spit ball pitching hit at tomorrow as I intend to - Burleigh Grimes.” CLEVELAND FANS IN FRENZY OF EXCITEMENT OVER VICTORY Cleveland, O., Oct. 5—Baseball fans of Cleveland were in a frenzy of ex- citement - tonight- over - the "victory of the Indians in the first game of the world’s series with Brooklyn today. In hotel - lobbies, on street corners and wherever the fans congregated today's game was gone over and over in de- tail, and it was the consensus of opin- ion that their idols would make it two straight tomorrow. Satisfaction was expressed in the fact that Rube Marquard was disposed of, and that with Mamaux having pitched part of today's game he would hardly be available tomorrow. The fans as a rule do not fear much trouble in disposing of any one - else whom Manager Robinson might send to the mound. Confidence was expressed that James Bagby and Walter Mails 1v\‘r'(mld be Just as effective as Coveles- cie. More score boards were on displ here today than ever before. Every corner newsboy had one and large cn;[wd. stood around watching the re- sults, East Sixth street between Superior and Rockwell avenues was roped off by the police department, and several thousand persons congregated in front Of the Plain Dealer office watching the progress of the game from a large score board.
