Cleveland Wins American League Pennant by Trimming Detroit
Qeveland Wffl
Oppose Dodgers
In World Series
Indians Trounce Detroit, 10
to 1 and Clinch American
League Pennant Bagby
Does the Hurling.
Detroit, Oct. 2. Cleveland won
its way into the world series to
day, taking the American league
Eennant with a 10 to 1 victory over
etroit. Cleveland needed but half
' - a game more margin in the league
race to remove the possibility of a
tie with Chicago.
The Indians opened their .of
fensive in the third inning and sus-
, tained it practically throughout the
game, coupling it with Oldham's
, five passes and some poor fielding
by Detroit. While Jim Bagby was
hit hard, he kept the hits fairly well
scattered 'and was accorded brilliant
Support. It was his 31st victory of
the season.
This Speaker, Cleveland manager,
was given an ovation when he
stepped to the plate in the first in
ning. He responded with five bril
liant fielding plays and three hits
) -in six times at bat.
- Oddly enough, Speaker made the
final putout ' of the game which
-r, brought his team the championship,
i A spectator jumped from the
bleachers and asked Speaker for the
ball, but the manager refused, say
ing he wanted it as a keepsake.
There was little doubt of Cleve
land's victory after the third inning,
when errors by Jones and Young,
combined with singles by Speaker
and Gardner, sent in three runs.
Burns sent in two more with a dou
ble to the scoreboard in the sixth,
and Bagby followed in the seventh
with a triple to the same place,
sending in three runs. Evans scored
Bagby with a single. In the eighth,
Wood tripled over Flagstead's head
s and scored on an out.
Cleveland and Detroit will close
the American league season here tomorrow.

Princeton, 17; Swarthinore, 6.
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 2. The
Princeton foot ball team opened its
season here today with a victory
over the Swarthmore college eleven,
17 to 6. The Tigers had the advan
tage throughout the first three
periods, and it was during that time
that all the orange and black tallies
were registered. Displaying a
strategic attack in which old-fashioned
foot ball was combined with
forward passes and trick plays, the
Princeton' warriors either rammed
through the line or circled the ends
for large gains. This coupled with
luck enabled them to down their
rivals from Swarthmore.
Athletes Entertained.
New York, Oct 2. America's Vic
loriou Olympic athletes, back from
heir recent triumph at Antwerp,
were guestt of honor of New York
City today. The day's program, in
cluding a parade this atternoon ana

Will Continue While
Weather Permits.
George Brandeis, president of the
Ak-Sar-Ben Driving club, announced
yesterday that the fall matinee sea
son will open , at Ak-Sar-Ben track

continue as long as the weather per
mits. Dr. C. C. Hall, secretary of the
club; has arranged three events, the
main attraction to be a special pace
between Star Boy Ingolsby, Roma
Dee. Gray Hal and Little Irish Rose.
The contest lies between Star Boy
Ingolsby. 2:0SJ4, and Roma Dee,
2:09J4 The former got his record
on a mile track, the latter on a half
mile track. A half-mile track is sup
posed to be four seconds slower

tests. All the Omaha horses will be
back from the circuit races. Admis
sion will be free to both ground and

Council Bluffs
Purple and White Buries Red
And Black Under 38 Points;
Bluffs Unahle to Tally.
Central High school foot ball team
defeated Council Bluffs yesterday
by the decisive score of 38 to 0 at
THl athletic field in Council Bluffs.
The Purple and White team had
the better of the argument at all
limes. Council Bluffs did not
threaten to score once. The game
was marked by a great deal of kick
ing by both sides. Swenson and
Meston did the kicking for Central,
and gained from 10 to 15 yards on
each exchange of runts.
After five minutes of play, Cen
tral scored their first touchdown.
Swenson and Clements each reeled
off 20 yards and Campbell carried
the ball over. Swenson failed to
kick goal. Score, Omaha 6, Council
Bluffs 0. It took the Central backs
three minutes to score the next
touchdown. (
In the second quarter, Swenson
intercepted a forward pass and
raced 20 yards through the Council
Bluffs team for a touchdown. Score,
Omaha 25 Council Bluffs 0.
The third quarter was marked by
good punting by Meston. Smith
blocked a yick, and then made two
gains for 15 yards, placing the ball
on Council Bluffs' 5-yard line.
Clements put the ball over, but
failed to kick goal. Score, Omaha
31. Council Bluffs 0.
Ir the fourth quarter, Central
made its last score, when, after a
successful pass for 20 yards, Meston
made a touchdown and kicked goal.
Score, Omaha 38. Council Bluffs 0.
The Purple and White squad has
improved 50 per cent since their
i?ame last week. Swenson was the
star of the game. He only played
one half on account of injuries, but
made one touchdown, and was good
for substantial gains when called
upon. Galloway played a hard
game, and made several spectacular
plays. Beno, the big center on the
Council Bluffs team, was the stellar
performer for the Red and Blacks.
He broke through the line several
times, and nailed the runner before
he got started. Goodwin played a
good game at end.
Coach Mulligan ran in several
substitutes after the team had piled
up a good score. Galloway played
fullback the last quarter, and while
tired out, showed considerable abil
ity as a back.

Hamilton Returns to
Missouri from Recent
Olympic Contests
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 1. Brutus K.
Hamilton, United States ace in the
recent Olympic games, a Missouri
student, returned to Columbia
Thursday night. He will return to
his home at Harrisonville, Mo.,
Thursday and will enter the univer
sity later.
Hamilton, 20 years old, has not the
steady look he had before he left
for the games. The Olympic games
cost him about 10 pounds of weight
and much sickness.
It is a question whether Hamilton
will be able to play foot ball this
year. If he can enter and secure
enough credit for track in foot ball,
he will play foot ball. Hamilton is
conceded an end or half back posi
tion as soon as he dons the togs.
Hamilton is verv reticent in regard
to his sickness. He offers no alibis,
but has little to say about the service
accorded the American athletes.
"I had an attack of grippe before
the pentathlon and decathlon," said
Hamilton. "After the finish of the
decathlon, I was 17 pounds under
weight." He placed third in the
pentathlon and second in the decath
lon, the Missouri boy losing by four
points.
James Plielan, associate coach,
who saw the games and Hamilton's
associates have nothing to say but
praise for him. His return to Mis
souri will add much strength to the
track team, and will make it feared
by every team in' tlje valley. ,

Defense. J
Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 2. (Special
Telegram.) Nebraska university
took Washburn college to a 14 to 0
defeat here today in the first game
of her 1920 foot ball schedule.

contest than Cornhusker rooters
and coaches had expected. It took
Nebraska the entire first period and
half of the second to get down to
business. After that the ball was in ;
Nebraska's possession most of the
time. Statistics give Nebraska con
siderable advantage over the Kan
sans. The only scores were made on
touchdowns by Nebraska in the sec
ond and third periods. Dana at

most of the game, and Ms offtackle
and end runs were consistent gain
ers. Moore was also responsible for
the second touchdown in a great de
gree. He carried the ball most of
the way down the field and then
was sent across for a touchdown.
Dick Newman, quarterback, also
played a masterful game. He pilot
ed the husker machine with good
judgment. Newman made the first
touchdown himself on a trick play.
Hartley also played a good game at
right half.
Nebraska made a total of 16 first ,
downs as against four made by -Washburn.
Washburn succeeded in
completing two forward passes .
while the Cornhuskers failed in five ,
attempts.

in Washburn's possession on Ne
braska's 10-yard line.
Nebraska held for downs and
Hubka punted 55 yards out of
bounds. The Cornhuskers were held
for downs on Nebraska's 45-yard-line.

to Washburn's 15-yard-line. A pass
from Newman to Sherer was inter
cepted by Stevens behind the Wash

the ball was touched down for a
touchback.

arth a little later, and seemed to
put new life into the team. Moore
and Hubka carried the ball down to
Nebraska's 2-yard-line and Newman
put it across on a trick play. Day
kicked goal. The score stood Ne
braska 7, Washburn 0.
Huskers Score Again.
In the third period the Washburn
team was decidedly weakened. The
line was unable to riold back the
Nebraska' backs in their onslaughts
by a series of drives, in which
Moore figured most prominently.
The ball was taken across the
Washburn goal for another touch- ,
down. Day kicked goal again. The
score was Nebraska 14, Wash
burn 0.
After a few more minutes of play,
Moore was taken out and Schoenpcl

Washburn goal several times, but
were unable to put it across. In
the fourth period Stevens intercept-
ed a Nebraska forward pass and
threatened to score before he was
overtaken by Hartley on Nebraska's
15-yard-line. Washburn was held
for downs.
The ball see-sawed back and forth
considerably during the last few
minutes of playing. The game ended
with Nebraska in possession of the
ball on Washburn's 20-yard-line,
