DODGERS SHUTOUT INDIANS —— New York, Oct. 6.—In a pitching duel ‘between the leading hurlers of the Na- tional and American leagues, Burleigh A. Grimes, Broeklyn's spitball ace, today shut out Cleveland 3 to 0 in the second game of the world's series at Ebbets- field. is ability to hold the Indians in check when hits would have meant runs marked his superiority over James C. Bagby, whom Manager Speaker selected to add a second game to the Cleveland string. The victory which placed the Superbas along- side Tris Speaker's Indians was due.al- most entirely to the excellent hurling of Grimes, who had the heavy hitting repre- sentatives of the junier league baffied threughout the game so far as consecutive bingling was concerned. With the ex- ception of the eighth inning, when Grimes temporarily lost sight of the home plate, Cleveland never appeared in the light of a serious contender. The inability of the Indians to cemnect with Grimes' slants when hits would have meant the scoring of runs is aptiy illus- trated by the fact that the Cleveland clan got fourteen runners on the bags, of whom ten were strended and four retired by subsequent plays. The Indians were not without repeated opportunities to score. But in the emergency Brookiyn's moistball flinging star met the emergency with a masterly collection ' of sharp- breaking slants or slow breaks which cut the corners of the plate or shot in close 1o the body of the batter, with the result the seven hits of the invaders were So scattered as to be useless in run-produc- ing. Bagby was not as effective in the box for Speaker's team as Coveleskie in' the opening game or his opponent Grimes, notwithstanding that he delivered less pitches than did the winning hurler. The Superbas reached his offerings effectively when runners were on bases, compared to the Indians, for the ten Brooklyn batters to reach first, three scored, three were retired, and the remaining four left. The crux of the pitching analysis is shown by the fact that the winners scored three runs on seven hits scattered through six innings, while Cleveland with an equal number of swats was unable to send a run across the plate in nine innings. Uhle, who replaced Bagby in the seventh ses- sion, proved more of a puzzle to the home combination, the Robins going out on strikes or flies’ in order during the twe periods in which he officiated. The ceatest, aside from Grimes' power to puzzle the winggs of the American league pennant at critical times in -the struggle, was as devold of sensational features and celor as was the initial bat- tle yesterday. Speaker pulfed off another sensational eateh in the fourth inning when he raeed far over into Jamieson's territory and hauled down Kilduff's long" drive. Right Fielder Griffith starred with a catch off the wall in the seventh when he captured Sewell's savage smash in a manner somewhat similar to his thrilling handling of Speaker's drive of Tuesday. A flash of tae defensive skill of the In- dians was shown in the third session with PBrooklyn at bat. Eaghy served up a slow floater to Grimes, wko promntly peppered it into center fora single. Olson followed with a_bunt which Bagby threw low to second. Wambganss in his efforts to hold the ball stooped low over the bag and Grimes, dashing int othe sack, turned a complete somersault over the prostrate in- ficlder. Griffith’s double to right scored Grimes and put Olson on third. Bagby purposely passed Zack Wheat and relied on a play on Myers to shut off the rally. ‘The entire Cleveland team was on its toes | and when Myers slashed a ' sizzling grounder to Gardner the Indians’ third baseman shot it back to O’Neill, forcing | out Olson. O'Neill endeavored to turn the play into a second out at first, but his throw hit Myers square in the back as the latter raced for the initial sack. ' Johnston was on the job, however, and rushed up the base line, ‘where he picked up the ball and hurled it back to O'Neill in time to catch Griffith trying to score. O'Neill aided the lay by completely block- ing the approach to the plate, for which he was roundly booed by the Brooklyn fans. The play was ent®rely legitimate, however, and Umpire Connolly, who was officiating behind the plate, paid no atten- tion to the protests of the home rooters. Brooklyn's other runs were scored without any attendant features. Jimmy Johnson gave the Brooklyn fans the first real opportunity to cheer when he beat out a single to deep short in the first inning. It proved to be the opening of the first run. Johnson added the sec- ond quarter of the run when he made a clean steal of second and ambled to third, while Griffith was being dis- posed of at first. Captain Zack Wheat came to the front with a timely to cen- ter, which sent Johnston across the plate, Wheat by fast sprinting making his hit count for a double. Griftith added to his record as a timely hitter in the fifth when his single t6 short sent Olson home With the third and final run of the game. The Brooklyn shortstop got on by connecting with one of Bagby's fast ones for a single. He advanced to the midway while Johnston and Bagby were disposing of the form- er's. brother and from that point com- pleted the circuit on Griffith's hit. The attendance, despite an improve- ment in the weather conditions, did not quite equal the standard set in the open- ing .game. The Sky was overcast when Grimes served up his first pitch, a strike on Jamieson, and there was little wind to disconcert the fielders. Although the sun cast only occasional rays on the diamond, the air was warm and without the nip- ping chill which acpompanied Cleveland's victory yesterday. Still there were scat- tered vacant seats, singly and in pairs, in both the lower and upper ‘stands. -The spectators as a_ whole appeared to view the struggle with apathy only occasional- 1y glving vent to a concerted roar of ap- proval or encouragement. There was an utter lack of team root- ing while the songs and music, which have made other world’s series con- spicuous from a vocal standpoint, were as much missing as during the opening zame. The official figures _announced by the natipnal commission, showed that in botx attendance and receipts the figures fell below those of Tuesday. The paid at- tendance was 99 and the receipts $76,164. This makes total receipts for the two days of $155,213. The division of this money for the two days follows: Ten per cent. to national commission, $15,- 521.30; sixty per cent. of balance to players’ pool, $83,815.02; remainder to club, $55,876.63, The playérs’ share in the receipts of |s the first five games and their pool is di- vided 75 per cent. to the players of the teams participating.in the world’s se- FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIA MARKET WAS UNCERTAIN, New York, Oct. 6.—Industrials and related specialties once more dominat- ed the trading on the stock exchange to- v, but the undertone was conflicting, ponderance of losses amonyg important issues at the close. News and general advices dealing with industrial and financial conditions were of a piece with the market's uncerfin course, aside from the investment situ- tion, which gave additional proof of its Several new capital issues were in pro- of completion and those already of- fered were freely absorbed, including the $40,000,000 issue of Swift & Co., Which was largely over-subscribed on the at- ive terms of the issue.

Eteel Corporation will show a decline of ast 500,000 tons. Steels of the better class, and also a filiated equipments, seemed gclined to ndvance at times, but were sympathatical- Iy affected by the reactionary trend of speciaities, ofls and unclassified stocks. 1t was among rails, however, _that movements were most bewildering. Texas & Pacific was the center of bear attacks, | recording a net loss of 12 points on ru- mors of proposed drastic reorganization, while Reading rese to par for the first time in three years, closing a fraction under its best and gaining almost § points. Sales amounted to 850,000 shares. Call money duplicated its movements of preceding session, rising to 8 per cent. in the afternoon, but closing at 7 per cent. Foreign exchange was featured by the acute weakness of Italian remit- tances and an abrupt decline in the rate to China. Bonds, domestic and foreign, including Liberty issues eased slightly on smaller dealings. Total sales (v@r value) ag- gregated $16,750,000.

Chicago, Oct. 6.—Violent upturns in che price of wheat today accompaniea discussion regarding possibility of an em- bargo on limports from Canada. The market closed strong 8 3-4 to 10 1-4 cents net higher,’ with December 189 1-2 to 199 3-4 and March 197 1-4 to 197 1.2, Corn gained 2 3-4 to 3 1-8c and oats 1 18 to 1 34c. In Provisions, the outcome varied from 40c decline to 45c advance, Buying on a huge scale made the wheat market jump as soon as trading began. Most of the purchasing was ascribed to shorts, a big New York cotton trader in particular. Notable reactions took place at every 1ull in the bidding, but the set- backs as a rule were brief, and the fin- ish was near the topmost point reached, although an embargo .against Canadian shipments could only be imposed by the president or by congressional action, At present, owing to the Underwood tariff law of 1913, no duty is collected on Canadian-grown wheat brought into the United States, some at least of the selling on today's advance was from Winnipeg houses that were placing hedges on Canadian wheat. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength. Rural offerings were small ana farmers’ organizations were reported as having advised that all grains be hela back. Export demand for lard tended to make provisions average higher. GHICAGO GRAIN MARKET, High.

The complete pitching analysis of the game shows that while Grimes, in the victor's role, threw the ball up to the Cleveland batters 130 times in nine in- nings, his two opponents Bagby and Uhle, had a total of 95 for eight innings, of Which Bagby threw 69 in six innings ana Thle 26 in two. In the eighth inning, Grimes had trouble in locating the plate when he hurled thé sphere 25 times, a record for the present series. Of these pitches, 14 were balls and three men walked to first, but Cleveland failed to score. The three Brooklyn runs were scored off Bagby in the first, third and fifth, in which in- nings he made 15, 12 and 19 pitches. Bagby made the low record of 5 pitches in the fourth inning When he threw two balls and the three other offerings were turned into amits. Grimes' low inning was the sixth, when he allowed ome hit, threw one ball and two strikes and outs accounted for the other three, making a total of six pitches. Grimes threw 48 balls, 31 strikes, 15 foul strikes, and five fouls after the second strike. Ten of his deliveries were turned into fly outs and fourteen into ground out. Bagby's record was twenty- five balls, ten strikes, seven four strikes and three fours after the second strike. Ten pitches resulted in fly outs and seven in ground outs. He allowed seven hits as did Grimes! Uhle in the two innings he occupied the mound, delivered eight balls, nine strikes, five foul strikes and one foul. Three other pitches resulted in fly outs.

Time of games 1VLL CREDIT TO GRIMES FOR WINNING GAME New York, Qct. 6 —Manager Speaker of the Indiars tonight gave full credit to Burleigh Grimes for his masterly pitching in today's game. “We could not hit with men on bases and Brooklyn had two batters who could,” he said. “I give Grimes the credit. He is a good pitcher. He has a great spitball. He reminds me of Jeck Quinn of ths Yan- kees, his spitter breaking more like Quinn's than it does Coveleakie's or Shocker's. We may get him the next time.” Speaker said he intended to send in either Ray Caldwell or Walter Mails, his valy left-hander, to pitch tomorrow. “The boss did just what I expected they would do after what they have been rhowing me all scason,” said Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn team. “It has been their habit all year to come back strong affer defeat and naturally I could see no reason why they would not do the same thing in the world's series. “The first two games have satisfied me that the two teams are about as closely matched as two teams. could be. Rach Vlays the same sort of game, relying on hard hitting for its rms. with little effort togdo much bhse stealing.. Of course, Speaker stands out above all the other players as a fielder and as a hitter, but *ven with Tris in the lineup I cannot concede that Clevelend has a better team than Brooklyn. CLEVELAND FANS DISSAPOINTED AT RESULT OF"SECOND GAME Cleveland, Oct. 6—It was a different crowd that left the numerous score boards here after today’s game be- tween the Cleveland Indians and the Brooklyn Dodgers than the one which watched the progress of yesterday's contes| Unlike yesterday, the fans were disappointed, but few of them left until Jamieson had flied to Wheat for the last out of the game. The crowd had few occasions for cheers. Its greatest hope for victory I was in the seventh and eighth innings. When Graney went in to bat for Bag- by in the seventh with two men on bases, the cheering became vociferous, but it soon died to groans when the pinch hitter struck out on three pitch- ed balls. It was one of the times Gra- ney failed to come through in a pinch. In the eighth, after Grimes had walked three men, filling the bases, the fans again had visions of at - least avoiding a shutout, but “Doc” John- ston was unable to push a run across, Johnston’s grounder to Kilduff ended the rooting, and hopes vanished. About fifty per cent. of those allot- ted reserved seats for the games to be played here called for their. tickets today. Several hours before the booths opened at American League park, the lines began to form and when the windows were closed at 5 o’clock, ' there were quite a few who had been unable to get their valued pasteboards. The tickets will be ob- tainable again tomorrow and Friday. Thousands of raue!fa for tickets from out-of-town fins have been re- ceived, according to down-town he- tels and storekeepers. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, of Chicago, has wired for hotel reserva- tions and expects to arrive Saturday morning to see the games. Tris Speaker’s mother will come here Thursday, from Hubbard, Texas, for the games. 3 NEW LONDON WOMAN WON GOLF MATCH FROM MISS FENN Cleveland, Oct. 6—Upsets were fre- quent in the second round of match play in the women’s national golf championship at the Mayfield club to- day and several women who have fre- 'SPEAKER GAV e 0 [ 0 o 0 [} 0 0 0 THE AM 111 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.

One of the features of the day was the driving of the local boy, Reamy Macey, who won the 2:11 trot with Dagastan giving him a new record of 2:07 3-4 in the second heat, while at the close of the second heat of the 19 trot he stood first with Hobnob, another son of Silika, against time in 2:03 3-4. She is the property of Fred Cline of Indianapolis, and was driven by Mart Wison. An offer of $25,000 was refused for her shortly after her performance, siderably, having secured Soloman to cateh and “Chick” Burdick to cover third. Several other new faces will be seen in the home club’'s lineup. Bradford evidently ha lot of re- spect for “Chet” Nichols' ability, judg- ing from the lineup they are getting together.
