Coveleskie Thirsting for Revenge on Yanks : Base Hits Rain in Big League Parks STAN SEEKS TO REDEEM SHOWING MADE IN DEBUT Pole Probably Will Face Hoyt Again Tomorrow. Johnson Pinch-Hitting Hero of Thrilling Last- Round Win Over Hugmen Yesterday. BY DENMAN THOMPSO! Sports Editor, The Star. TANISLAUS COVELESKIE, venerable exponent of the rapidly van- ishing species of pitchers whose chief stock in trade is the spit ball, tomorrow is to be given an opportunity to make amends for the un- satisfactory exhibition he gave in New York a weck ago, when he made his first appearance in a Washington uniform. On that occasion, it will be recalled, he retired after six innings with five runs and twice as many hits charged against him in the duel he was staging with Waite Hoyt. That was the setto in which Goslin put Hoyt on the skids in the eighth round with a circuit 'swat, and whose examplie in the succeeding frame, when he rapped another homer at the expense of Shocker, was followed by Judge, this trio of round trippers being high lights in the rally staged by the Griffs to drag the game out of the fire 5 Stanislaus then escaped having a defeat marked on his record, but he was thoroughly nettled by the liberties taken with his slants and un- convinced because of the coincidental flaws in his support that the fate he met was deserved. He since has been thirsting for revenge and will get his chance tomorrow, when Hoyt probably again will be his pitching opponent FIVE OUT OF SIX The blank left in the schedule for today by the league's official date Jjugglers will serve the double purpose of enabling Bucky Harris and several of his ailing mates to shuke off dis =D 3 abilities of divers sorts and afford the | pusta oy tR fans an opportunity to recover from |Com!

BORBED HER HAIR had vesterday when the champions staged a thrilling last minute rally to get a 2-to-1 verdict over the Hugmen As in the final fracas of- the memorable world series, \Walter John- son was the hero yesterday, but for a different reason, it being his bludgeon on this occasion, rather than his pitch- ing power, that brought him so clearly into focus. Setting Was Dramatic. Attending ances made the setting dramatic. Against the clever curving of Southpaw Herb Pennock the Nationals had been able to make no headway in their effort to match the run registered early in the fray off Jezebel Zachary until the eighth inning. Then Shirley, batting for Zach, ex ploded a single to right. Liebold w put in to run for the slower footed Mule, and, after McNeeley popped foul, Hargrave evolved a safety to left in clubbing for Adams, who had succeed ed McNally as defender of the middle cushion. Harris injected himself into the proceedings at this juncture to hoof for Hargrave, and with the heavy artillery on tap the bugs were aroused to a high pitch of expectancy only to have their spirits sink when Rice and Goslin both sent easy rollers down the first base line. Tt seemed too much to hope another such golden opportunity would be af- forded in the nearly spent pastime, but after Gregg had done a good job in his relief role in the ninth, Judge provided cheer for those present with a lusty double to left center. This was dissipated when Pennock grabbed Bluege's bounder and flagged Joe go- ing into third, but a pass to Peck put a different aspect on things. Dugan then heaved wide in an effort to achieve a force-out with Ruel’s roller, and the bases were loaded. Hurry Call Made For Walter. The only thing then needed for victory was one safe punch, but who was to deliver it. All available or- thodox batsmen had been utilized. There was only Johnson left and he had departed for the clubhouse to wash up. An urgent summons sent to the locker room found Walter half undressed, but he stepped on the gas in getting back into his togs as Gregg was stalling around ostensibly pre- paring to bat for himself, while Hug circums History May Prove Yankees Lost Flag in IVE straight defeats in the firs!

Such a disastrous start is calculated to take the ch_out of even the gamest of outfits. The courage of the New York aggregation never been questioned, overconfidence being re- garded as their cardinal defect, but whether they can escape the natural psychological reaction from such a weak start remains to be seen. It is entirely within the realm of possibility that developments may demonstrate the champions of 192 lost their chance for the gonfalon this season by eventualities of the first two weeks. In the flying start obtained by the Natlonals they have defeated the best fiingers on the New York roster, hav ing registered a victory over each of Pennock, Jones and Shawkey, while Hoyt failed to finish the only time he haa fased the Griffs. and Shocker, who recorded New York's lone victory, sub- sequently has been vanquished twice. It may me demonstrated that the Yan kees were euchered out of the 1925 title at the very outset of the cam- paign while Babe Ruth, their biggest gun, was confined to a hospital cot Bucky Harris will be back on his infield job when the Griffs resume their series with the Yanks tomorrow. His injured finger probably will handi cap him, especially in throwing, for a couple of « vet, but for all that the club will be stronger for his pres ence in the line-up. The final of the current set is to be played Sunday, when Dutch Ruether is scheduled to show local fans his pitching wares. The Griffs then will hike to Boston for three days, return- ing Thursday for a week of pastiming with the Athletics and Red Sox be: fore departing for the West. Judge saved Bluege from an error vesterday when he took Ossie's wide heave of Dugan’s roller in the first and tagged Jumping Joe as he sped Dby on the line. Zachary avoided decapitation when he ducked just in time to escape a terrific drive through the box by Pas- chal in the second inning. The extent to which McNally is handicapped by the surplus flesh he is carrying was demonstrated on Pen- nock’s roller in the third, a whack Harris would have gobbled up, but which the slow-hoofed Mike could not reach. Adams was inserted in place of McNally in the fourth and promptly exhibited his fielding class by chasing deep into right field to take E. Johnson's fly over his shoulder. He then wheeled and fired to Peck to double up Paschal, on second by virtue of his single and Pipp's sacrifice. McNeely earned a generous hand in the fifth when he eprinted deep into center to leap and spear Scott's drive in his gloved hand. Ruel foxed Combs to his death in the sixth when he was on third through his swinging bunt and Peck's muff of Paschal's roller. Muddy bluffed a heave to second as Paschal broke and then trapped Combs by tossing to Bluege. O'Neill was give: Umpire Ormsby for ruling that Rice's shirt the gate by protesting his had been in the sixth. Steve appeared to have the right dope, at that, but his lan- guage was too florid. Rice put his reconditioned throwing arm on display in the eighth when he grabbed Meusel's single on the run flagged Combs attempting to t to third p's drowsiness enabled the Griffs to engineer a double play and thereby snuff a Yank rally in the ninth Wally was on second, due to infield bingles by himself and Ernie Johnson, when Scott popped to Peck. Pipp idled far off the sack and was easily doubled up when Rajah tossed to Harris. | 1t is seldom as many three pinch hitters make good for a club |in one contest, but this was the case | vesterday when Shirley, Hargrave and Walt Johnson all came through with bingles.

DEMPSEY LOOKING TO TEX | TO ARRANGE TITLE SCRAP N EW YORK, April 24—The eyes of the boxing world today were centered upon Promoter Tex Rickard as the man whom Jack Dempsey has commissioned to bridge the gap between the moving picture studio and the resin-coated battleground of pugilism. Dempsey announced last night that he was ready to defend his title against Harry Wills, negro challenger, provided Rickard would assure him the match could be staged without interference. Dempsey made it plain that Rick- ard would be his lone choice to handle the assignment. His experience in the Shelby fight with Tom Gibbons in contrast to the successful bouts he had under Rickard's promotions are considered as responsible for that at- titude. The champion announced that if Rickard could assure him a Wills match within the next two weeks— and he announced that in his opinion the negro heavyweight was the out- standing contender for the title—he would not let his contemplated hone: moon trip to Europe stand in the wa. of the contest. If Rickard fails, it will be Europe, and no heavyweight title battle this vear, he said. Rickard announced that he could not sign Dempsey to fight Wills until after the negro's forthcoming bout with Charley Weinert of Newark. “If Wills is defeated in that fight I would have a fine fight on my hands should I arrange this match now, wouldn't 17" said Rickard. “The Wills-Weinert and Gibbons-Tunney matches ought to provide a real challenger, and the ene who makes the best showing will get the match for the championship. Per- sonally, I don’t care who the man is. I have Dempsey under contract to fight for me and he has assured me that, given three months to train, he will be ready to enter the ring against the best man . TURNER WINS AGAIN.
