SPORTS: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. 'UESDAY, MAY 19, 1925, Coveleskie Faces Old Teammates Today : Major League Pitchers Well Battered VICTORY BY SPITBALLER MEANS SERIES FOR NATS Pole Expected to Pitch Much Better Than Slabmen of World Champions Did in Third Game of Set at Cleveland, That Tribe Won, 9 to 6. BY DENMAN THOMPSO Sports Editor, The Star. LEVELAND, May 19.—Having gotten a lot of shoddy pitching and sandlot base ball out of their systems yesterday, with a 9-6 set- C back as a result, the Nationals this afternoon were faced with the necessity of taking the final from the Indians to obtain better than an even break in the serics here hefore moving over to Detroit, where lies their sole remaining chance for a clean sweep on this tour of the West. Stanislaus Coveleskic scheduled to make his first appearance against the Tribe doffing the regalia of the Redskins, which he wore with credit to himself and profit to them for nine long scasons. As is_customary in such cases, the Pole may be expected to pull the throttle wide open in an effort to convince Cleveland of the mistake made in let- ting him go, and if his work approximates that flashed against the White Sox and Rrowns in his last two starts he 1d have little difficulty land- ing on top. Stan yielded but five hits and one run in Chicago and allowed only three tallics on cight bingles in St. Louis. It would be fitting if Speaker were to send Byron Speece to the slab to 'ppose the veteran he was traded for. Outfielder Carr Smith, who came here with Speece, already has been farmed| iown the river, and use of the under-| hand flinger would furnish gome first hand information on the merits of the deal. But this is not likely to be done, | as Byron's showing here to date dc not warrant him the honor of start ing a battle. It is more probable that was since STOPPED WASHINGTON.

His ticket was purchascd and his luggage packed, when Dr. Harry Knight of Rochester, N. Y., a specialist well known for results at- tained in treating ailing athletes, dropped in to visit him. Knight's minis- trations made Joe's weak prop feel so much better that he canceled the Pullman reservation and wil! accompany the Griffs to Detroit. Whether Judge will be able to play | BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS against the Tygers problematical, AMERICAN LEAGUE. is but the club will be immeasurably strengthened with him back on the job, as Shirley has looked woefully weak at bat in the last two games. Sunday Mule was up three times with out getting anything that savored of s safety, fanning on one occasion, and vesterday he whiffed on his first and third appearances, hitting into a dou- ble play on his in-between effort. Shirley may do better today, southpaw toils for the Tribe, as is in dicated. Otherwise it is likely he will be benched. with Joe Harris covering first and McNeely stationed in the midpath. Tom Mix, hero of movie thrillers, was sectator terday, and the Altrock-Schacht com- edy duo had a lot of fun with the film star's five-gallon hat before the game started. Karr's mental lethargy enabled the Nationals to score off him in the third. After Ruel and Russell walked Rice singled to right. Karr cut off Lee's return, and Ruel trapped half way home trom third, but pered back in safety when the pitcher just held the ball. Ruel then tallied on Bucky's long fly Chick Fewster, whose work afield recently has been erratic, pulled a fine play in the fifth, when he chased over in front of second base to get Ruel's roller and toss him out Ruether did only that which has come to be expected of him when he batted for Ogden in the eighth and | singled Peck to the plate.

McGraw, “master mind” of the N New York Giants, knows a lot about base ball, but when it comes to calling the turn the Philadelphia Athletics he simply “isn't there.” Back in the old days, when McGraw first came to New York from the Baltimore club of the American League, and was interviewed about the league he had just left, McGraw delivered himself of the opinion that Connic Mack had a “white elephant on his hands.” The Athletics scized on his statement and began press agenting them- selves as white elephants. They even had little white elephants cut out oi flanncl and sewed on their uniforms.

The Athletics today are at the top| of their race in the American League, having just ended a series of nine straight wins with a 14-inning defeat at the hands of the Chicago White Sox.

Each is the first in its league to attain the 20-victory mark, each has taken some healthy out of ‘opponents who have bLeen f; ured as their most serious rivals.

May 19.— Oscar (Happy) Felsch, who until the buse ball seandal of 1920 was one of the mainstays of the champion Chi- cago White Sox base ball team, was placed on probation for one year when he pleaded guilty before Circuit Judge zory to charges of false swearing.

Counsel for Jackson pleaded a continuance, an- nouncing that Jackson is now playing ball in Flor Judge Page denied the continuance, however, and ordered the issuance of a capias for Jackson's arrest. He directed that his $1,000 bail be forfeited. At the trial of Jackson’s suit, jury brought in a $19,000 verdict for the ball player, but the court set it aside. A. A. U.
