CLEVELAND TAKE SECOND AN OVERCROWDED MOMENT GOLF'S TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS

GAME OF WORLD SERIES

Boston, Oct. 7.-Bob Lemon came back brilliantly today after a succes- a 4-1 Victory over sion of late season failures to pitch Cleveland Indians to Boston Braves and even the Series at one win apiece. A crowd of 39,633 fans- saw Lemon hold Braves to eight scattered hits.

Lemon was often in minor trouble after allowing Braves a first inning score, but was stronger at the finish than at the sturl. He gave up but three hits in the last five janings.

After 12 Innings of futility at the plate, during which they were unable to get a man even to third base, Indians came out of hibernation in the fourth inning. Cleveland's old pros who finally came to life then.

LONDON'S FAMOUS CLUBS

ARE IN THE DOLDRUMS

My first visit to Twickenham of the new season only helped to confirm the trend that was already most marked last winter that London's famous clubs are but pale shadows of their former selves and that best attacking and finished rugby will again come from the Midlands and Wales.

It was the first outing of the Harlequins and Saint. Mary's Hospital, but all shortcomings were not due to lack of practice. It was lamentable to see how the Quins' backs utterly failed to make the slightest constructive use of the ball which was so consistently supplied them by A big and efficient pack which included two England for- wards in Weighill and Travers and three others knocking at the door of the International XV in Brooks, Horsfall and Jackie Matthews.
