FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY

| » September 12, 1920: Stan Coveleski wins his 3rd complete game of the Series, and the Indians wrap it up, as Dodger bats are silent again. Burleigh Grimes is nicked for single scores in the 4th, 5th, and 7th, for a 3–0 loss. Utility IF Jack Sheehan plays 3B for Brooklyn and gets his 2nd hit of the Series, the same number of hits he had during the season. These four are his only ML hits. Brooklyn manager Robinson, upset with Marquard's arrest, keeps Rube on the bench: the Dodgers have already made the decision to unload the pitcher. Rube's wife, "Blossom Seeley" —her vaudeville name, comes to the same conclusion and files for divorce next week. |
