CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 10. In a Ibaseball game erupting sen sational, unique and thrilling, plays far beyond the wildest dream of an imaginative fiction or scenario writer, the Cleve land Americans defeated the Brooklyn Nationals, 8 to 1, in the sm, contest of the World's series here this afternoon.

The I t-o terrioie caiasuuyuca ui ouiuj land today, are clinging aespermeiy to the hope that Sherrod Smith may be able to check the , savage batting on slaught of the Indians, .but tne home team fans declare that, nothing can stop the rush of the Clevelanders now that they have solved the mystery of the Fiatbush hurling staff. Firrf SimiliairFlay in Classic The calibre of the ply may be gath ered from the fact that two worm's records were established during the hectic hour and torty-nve mmui.es in which the tribe of Speaker tore great handfuls of plumage .from the stun- nea ana neiyieoo uvunip. in the history of the world's series had a triple play been made by one player so seldom has this basooau reat been accomplished in the history ot either major or minor leagues that each and every such play Is, unfamiliar to thousands of fans. ' A home run with the bases loll Is fo an innovation ..modern nrn.-.t pl?Z ..... , o, --ri Wh" thPRnnaA-over-tl towerlng sCreei which im3 " ' ' I records were made at League park here today, with a second home run, four double plays and a score of other field ing and batting features which would have been acclaimed as thrilling during the course of a normal world's series conflict. There was something uncannily local about Wambsganss' triple play. The Indians' second baseman was born in Cleveland in 1894 and, after learning the fudamentals of the national game at Concordia college, entered the pro fessional baseball ranks. , After a com paratively short period of nlnor league experience with the Cedar Rapids club, of the Central association, he came to the local team in ,1914 and since has been a fixture with the Indians. That a native born ball-player of Cleveland should have made such an unusual and infrequent play is a coincidence and that a previous similiar play- should have been made in the same park 11 yars ago savors of something beyond coincidence. Only Eleven Such Plays . But 11 times, in the records of the American pastime, has ah unassisted triple play been accomplished, if the annals of baseball can be relied on. Of these feats, but two were previously scored in the major leagues. It was Neal Ball, of the Cleveland f!ub of 1909, who swept three opposing Players out on a similiar handling of the ball. in that year, during the game between the Boston Red Sox and the Indians, played July 19, Stahl was on first and Wagner on second with Mc Connell at bat when Ball accomplished the play which is the dream of every Selder in the game,.- Today the stage setting was much the same. Both KllMuff and Miller had singled to center in turn at the ginning of the fifth inning and were Perched on second and first respectively when Pitcher Mitchell came to bat. The Brooklyn hurler, who had previously relieved Grimes in the box, drove a hot ,lner high and . to the left of second nase. Wambsganss leaped into the air and came down with the ball clutched in S'ed hand. For the fraction of a jfond he appeared to hesitate and it looked as though the. play would take U3U3'1 course of a force out.

Miller was tearing down to the mid way sack under the belief that the hit was an absolutely safe one and it was a comparatively easy matter for Wambganss to 'run up the base line and, touching the oncoming runner, complete the first triple play ever made by one " player in the long history of the world's series. Smith's Splendid Wallop Cleveland 8 offensive opened with another play which would have, under any other circumstances, stood out as a feature supreme. With the bases loaded with Indians who had singled in succession off the slants of Burleigh Grimes, Rfght-Fielder Elmer Smith, of Milan, O., stepped to the plate and, catching one oi the Brooklyn vtwirler's fast,, sharpbreaking spit-balls on the. u- .li.4. u m -i t the bases and breaking the hearts of opposing players with a- four run lead which- the Robins never even threatened to overcome. The ball was so hard hit that it n.ot only-cleared the screen, but continued on its way until it crashed into the front of a house, across the street from the ball park, the roof of which was crowded with spectators. Not'' satisfied with this display of batting powress, Tris Speaker must have whispered into the ears of the other members of tho team to go do likewise, for in the fourth session Pitcher Jim Bagby, evidently, fearing that the margin of runs was .not suf ficient, hit another homer with two runners on the bags. Doc Johnston opened the inning by bouncing a single off Grimes' shins to left-field and took second on a passed baH. Sewell put him on third with an infield out and then Grimes, fearing the heavy bat of Catcher O'Neill, pur posely walked the latter to first, with the idea of getting Bagby. Bagby Repeats Homer 'frick The Brooklyn pitcher's strategy was badly mussed up by his rival in the box, for Bagby picked out a delivery which particularly pleased him and lofted it Into the right-f'fleld stand, the ball rolling far ' under the seats, while all three runners trottod In suc cession across the home plate. This hit furnished another strange coincidence in connection with world's series baseball, for never In the mem- i ories of the oldest follower of the game have the first seven runs of a game of this class been scored by home-run hits. ' In the cascade ot long hits and fea ture plays, manyv,other Incidents and efforts were lost sight of which might have brought rounds of applause dur ing a less sensational game. Catcher O'Neill had two such feats, to his credit when, in the first inning, he threw his body full length back of the plate and blocked a wild pitch by Bagby which, had It passed, would have permitted Olson to score with two out. Wheat's following fly to left killed Brooklyn's chance to score in that in ning, thanks to O'Neill's quick think ing. Again, in the second inning, O'Neill took Jamieson's perfect throw (Continued on Page Two!) v LAUDS LINCOLN IN SPRINGFIELD Cox Pays Tribute To Marytr President SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. ,10.

Claims Of All In Sight Vex Democrats Leaders Scor e Alleged At tempts to Suppress News That Is Favorable to Gover nor Cox (Special to The Star.) WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 10. The Republican '"senatorial committee, on the basis of an allesrad , survey, claims fifty-three senators, or a majority of ten, in the next con gress. The Republicans boast that th'ey will displace Democrats in eight of the following states: Oklahoma, Ne vada, Arizona, California, Kentucky, South Dakota, Colorado. Idaho, Mary land or Oregon. Republican papers are featuring this partisan claim as a news item. The committee likewise is said to encourage individual members of the party to make extravagant claims other than the ones indicated, as has been done by A. Molton, of North Carolina, who, while here, told the committee that he was going to defeat Senator Lee S. Overman for a seat in the United States senate from the Tar Heel state. Resent Flim-Flam Policy Democratic leaders here . resent the brazen policy of newspaperand news service companies to flim-flam the pub lic in aeonspiracy of misrepresentation and deception into which they are al leged to have entered to conserve the partisan interest of the. Republicans. Attention is called to the fact that Governor Cox. while on his western tour, boldly charged this conspiracy, ofhalsecuon TSfn, damaging fact, to the g. o. p., of large and enthusiastic crowds who heard quoted Mr. Taf t s own words where sincerity of mind and intel Jsaid, magnify JtS7?:iSM" ce were beclouded by the partisan prejudice of a political to the Republicans, and minimize every thing in connection wKh Governor Cox and his campaign that deserves to be laid before the public and which would be to his advantage. This policy of suppression and de ception, it is charged, began at the San Francisco convention, when the western newspapers and news service companies featured only trivial mat- i ters, allowing the vital incidents in the great body to go unheeded, it was charged. The conspiracy of suppres sion, deception and misrepresentation, .i, j o tr- -vt! l a ttxthZ T tion, declared -Senator McKellar, wlten he returned, was an infamous perver ts " . : l 4- 1 1 sion oi cuneiii uu u. t (the executive, including one in which The shameful treatment alleged to"r .

Democrats here complain that as election day approaches the , Republi can press of the country, notably the newspapers in. Washington, increase their efforts toward suppression of fa vorable developments in the" Demo cratic campaign and unduly magnify, even to bald misrepresentation, it is asserted, the most trivial incidents to advance the interests of the Republi cans. Democratic leaders, however, in the face of alleged malignant slander and misrepresentation on the part of the Republicans, are more hopeful of Dem ocratic success now than at .ny time since the San . Francisco convention. They say there is cheering news from every section of the country since President Wilson has made an appeal to the American people to sustain the League of Nations and, since Senator Harding has been driven into-the camp of the irreconcilables, clearly, dis tinctly and emphatically making the league the paramount issue of the cam paign.

Tah Sponsor League Revision, His Cables Show Cox Makes Public Correspondence Between Wil son and Former President Regarding Changes In Versailles Covenant REVEALS S T AND SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 10. Cable correspondence between President Wilson and former President Taft in 1919, during draft of the League of Nations covenant at Paris, was made public during tonight's address by Governor Cox, Democratic presidential candidate, together with a statement by the candidate criticizing severely Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, and other, 1 league opponents. Mr. Taft, the correspondence detailed, sought and had cable communication; with President Wilson, submitting numerous sug gestions for changes in the tentative league draft and advising the President regarding its presentation to the, senate. Governor Cox's statement, issued prior to his departure to make addresses tomorrow at Springfield and East St. Louis, Ill.i ; v and St. Louis, Mo., said he published the Taft-Wilson correspond ence a white house memorandum because of "the equivocal position former President Taft and other friends of the league - "OW OCCUpy in tneir Support 01 structionists."

The final cablegram from Mr. Taft, sent to Secretary Tumulty and for warded -to the President as given in published correspondence, was dated June 28, 1919, just before the President returned to present the treaty to the senate. It read: Tnft Favored Article 10 "I would like to lend a return met gage and that is that the President nrirae for the leasrue and its necessity! the Impossibility to secure pence with- i out it; the dreadful unrest in Europe j stated: the pressure, of our allies to ratify and j "The Republican senators are trying secure pence at once; the need of the ; to stir up anxiety among Republicans league, with the United States, to sta-j lest this be a limitation upon our tar-' blllee and to resist Bolshevism i the ne- iff.
