24 SPORTS. COVEY TO PITCH AGAINST _ COBB’S CLUB TOMORROW Johnson, Who Twirled Only National Victory Over Detroit This Year, Hurls on Thursday, When World Pennant Will Be Rai sed. BY JOHN B. KELLER. F our right-hand dependables produce as they have been producing we will make the Tygers' visit here this week very unpleasant for That's how Manager Bucky Harris contemplates the im- pending series with the Bustin’ Bengals, who are reasonably expected to force the Nationals’ pitchers to the utmost in the four contests scheduled in Clark Griffith Stadium, starting tomorrow afternoon. “So far this season Cobb’s club has been punishing leit-hand pitch- fearfully,” Harris remarked this morning, “but the boys who serve them from the other side have often stopped the hard-hitting Detroiters. And,” he added. “we certainly have a pair of right-handers who seem to he ready to step out and stop 'em. We are counting upon shooting Stan Coveleskie and that young fellow Walter Johnson at Cobb’s club right off the reel. Maybe the Tygers will not get so far when they face those two.” Harris plans to employ Coveleskie the shab tomorrow in the series opener. If Covey starts it will be his first effort of the year against the Ty- gers, for he remained the bench last month Detroit when the Na tionals dropped three of four games plaved with Cobb & Co.

EX-TYGER, 54, STILL | PLAYING BASE BALL By the Associated Prese BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 9. A S4-year-old grandfather, who for-| merly wore a Detroit Tyger uniform, | still is able to pitch winning base ball, despite his years. Fans who knew the Tygers in 1905- 06 will remember him, John Eubanks, who came to the club the same vear that Ty Cobb did. Of all the players in the American League then, just two remain—Cobb and Walter Johnson— and Eubanks has vivid memories of each. Eubanks, who lives at Bellevue, near here, and pitches for the Belle: vue United Stone team, recalls John- son’s first game in the American League and says that Walter's spiked shoes were the cause of the voung |rookie’s defeat in that contest. | “Walter was only 19, just a kid, when he pitched for Washington {against Detroit in that maiden big {league game of his,” Eubanks said. | “He had never worn spiked shoes un- |til that day, always preferring tennis | shoe “When he zot on the field he fairly stumbled all over himself.

Of course, Johnson couldn't |field the bunts with those spiked sh |and we got the game. But we always | knew it was those spikes that lost him that one.” Eubanks has a son, a daughter and three grandchildren. INSECTS TO GATHER.

This bout does not figure much from a sporting standpoint, but the Harry Greb- Mickey Walker fight is sure to give the card a fine boost. Then, too, all the Italians in the city are behind this show.

June 9.—The le ading Philadelphia Athletics today viewed with new alarm the reduction of their advantage over the champion Senators in the American League to but a game and! _ Little hope of recovery for the team from a slump is entertained until its weakened pitching staff is bolstered by the return to regular duty of Sam Gray and Fred Heimach, both of whom are injured. The pace-makers were jolted again vesterday in Detroit, where the Tygers pulled out a 7-to-6 triumph after the Athletics had tied the score in their half of the ninth. Baumgartner and Groves were both pounded from the box by Cobb's men. The West also supplied a stumbling block for the Giants, but the 12-to-4 defeat of the Champions at the hands of the Cubs was balanced by the down- fall of the second-place Brooklyn Dod- gersinSt. Louis. Grover Alexander kept New York bats silent while his mates were shelling Bentley and Greenfield, with Brooks making the Chicago pace by poling out two home runs. Manager McGraw, seated in a box near the Glants' dugout, saw his play- ers perform for the first time in several weeks. having only recently recovered from an attack of indigestion and in- fluenza. The Yankees made it three out of four in their series with the Browns by taking the fal game, 6 to 5. in the tenth inning. ome runs by Rob- ertson and Rice in the ninth enabled the Browns to tie the score at 5-all, but Earl Combs out guessed the St. Louis team and sped home with the winning run on a short sacrifice fly. Ehmke bested Shaute in a pitchers’ struggle, letting the Indians down with five hits as the Red Sox won, 3 to 1, but Boston’s entry in the National went down before a Pittsburgh batting assault on three pitchers as the Plrates won easily, § to 4.

WALTER LIVEST “CORPSE” IN THE NATIONAL PASTIME “Old Ruin,” So Tragically Buried by Mournful Seribes During World Series, Now Bids Fair to Lead League in Games Won. BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

The fa completely overlooked by the writers that Johnson had not pitched pooriv in either game, and that with a little batting support he would have won at least the first one.
