Mals Ortitched Cleveland, O., Oct, 11.—The Cleveland Indians came within reaching distance of the bueeball championship of cliamyic: sh'ps when they shut out the Brooklve Nalional by a score of 1 to 0 here this world’s series. Amother victory in the contest tomorrow will compiste the inter- | Jeague affray and permit the local clud 17 fly two banners in the breeze nexi spring, an epoch-making event i the his- tory of the Cleveland team. With the score four contests to two in faver of Tris Speaker's players, it is concveded by even the most loyal of the Brooklyn fans 153t nothing but a most remarkable r versal of form on the part of the Robins can prolong the series more than a game cr_two. While the play today lacked much of the sensational features of Sunday's hrilling battle it was a wellplayed co st from a techinacl baseball standpoint, resolving itself early into a pitching dual between Walter Mafls'and Sherry Smith, two of the leading southpaws of the major leagues. Mails had decidedly the better of the contest, the batters frem the East being held to three scattered hits while the als found Smith’s range for seven sareties. The winning of the game can be traezi to this additional edgs in batting en the part of the Indians for the difference In the maecing power of the two contenders s afternoon eventuaily spelled the dif- nce between the solitary run of Cieveland and the string of ciphers which | rewarded Drooklyn's efforts to -commect with “Du: snarp breaking benders. The Indians’ team batting in the s Fame was the same as that of Sunday. being .247, but the total result was one run instead of the eight accumulated yes- terday. Brooklyn, on the other hand. slumped before the baffling delivery of Mails from .240 to 214. The credit for the vietory cannot, how- ever. be accorded entirely to Mails' su- prriority over Sherry Smith, for the eveland hurler was backed by a better hrana ef team defense than that gccorded the Nationol League boxman.
