Dut the fact remains that pitching fs the dominating feature of the} sport. In these days of tho lively! hall the demand for capable hurlers fs all the greater. A twirler’s su cess is based on his ability to It is in games won, rather than t rned run average, that determines @ pitcher's final standing in column of fame. .

Often some stupid play determines the result. Certainly the pitcher {s not re- sponsible for some dumb play of his teammates. In final results the loss of that game, however, detracts from the pitcher's record. rae) . COVALESKIE WAS | VERY EFFECTIVE ITANLEY COVELESKIE, the angle of earned run affec- from tiveness, was one of the leading] pitchers of the major leagues last year. Thruout the season Cove- leskie was a difficult man to score on; he kept the opposition totals down to low figures, but invariably} some feature over which Coveleskie| had no control, would turn his well- pitched effort into a defeat. If he held the opposing team to two runs,| Cleveland was in a batting slump} and would either be shut out or score only a single tally. If some player on the Cleveland club con- tributed an iyory play it always] seemed to happen in a game in which Coveleskie was the pitcher. Thus a proper deduction would be| that the games won column does| not always serve as a true barom-| eter of a pitcher's real worth. | HANDLERS OF | DOGS GATHER ACIFIC coast sportsmen and dog handlers are gathering at Yaki- | ma, according to reports reaching Se- attle on Thursday, to attend the first of the all-Coast Springfield which will be held March 17 at Yaki ma, followed by trials for Portiand, British Columbia and Washingtop.
