Too much can not be said of the shoving of Stanley Covoleskie. vet- . eran spitball pitcher. with the ' . Washington Senators this year. Each succeeding batch of pitch- in; records for the campaign make him stand out more distinctly as one of the sensations of the year. Cast of: .s done by the Cleveland club last for Coveleskle. up to a few days ago at least. had lost but one game this season while win- ning 10 or more for the world's champions. This after 10 hectic years of serv- ~. ice in the big show and facing bat- ' tors who are aided by the lively ball, call it “jack rabbit," rubber. or whatever you will. This with a ball that is supposed to shorten a pitcher‘s career. snap his arm out and ruin his effective- ness—the spitball. , Covey has been pitching just 18 years. He started out with the fa- _ snou- Shamokin. s... team. He came. .‘ naturally by his . aseball ability. so ' to speak. His older brother. Harry. ‘ I. southpaw pitcher. was making a. a name for himself in the big show . when Stanley was getting his start. x‘TiIO other brothers. John and Frank followed the game for years. 0 O O 1. "if l Col. Jake Ruppert. owner of the blasted Yankees. announces that he . will spend $250,000 for desirable minor league players this fall and ‘.wlnt.er in* the hope of strengthening the New York ball club.

Which news should interest the Washington baseball club more than any other organization.

Connie Mack seems to be in need of hurlers. despite the pres- ence on his payroll of Slim Harris. early season nsation. "Lefty" Groves. Sam Gray. Eddie Rommel, and one or two others. It is be- lieved. however. that the Tigers still have a. string on “Red" which means that Connie would have to do business with'Ty Cobb., And Tyrus isn't given to helping any rival clubs when he sees a faint chance of up. setting the pennant dope momentar- ily at least himself.

Everett Scott is probably playing his last season in the big show. The little Deacon has had the happy knack. in his long career. of “be- ing in" things. however. 80 it wouldn't surprise his followers if. in the remaining weeks of the pre- sent battle in the American League he had. one more chance to dis- tinguish himself. Scott was obtained by the Cham- pion Senators from the Yanks the other day with one idcuwthat of fprotecting them in case of injur- les to another old timer. Roger Pcckinpaugh. 'l‘he champs. whether or not thgy retain their title this year. cannot afford to bank on Everett and Peck. Hence the hand writing for both these two old men next season. But Scott can step out now with a record that stands little danger of being smashed at any time in the future. That is his stretch of 1,307 consecutive ball games. Back 1585. George E. Pinkney. of the rooklyn American Associa- tion and National League team. started on a run of consecutive games that extended over e. period of five years. It began Sept. 21. 1885. and ended after he had play- ed seven games in 1890. This mark has stood for 26 cam- paigns when June 2. 1016. rolled around. That day Fred Luderus. Philly pla’yer. returned to the game after an absence. L'nknow— lngly he was starting on a stretch that eventually approached that old record of Pinkney'a. . Scott. Joins Philly Star.

The 1923 campaign found him in there every day. ' . Through the hectic year of 1924 he played another string out. And when the present opened he was still adding to his record—a. record that had passed not only 600 or 700 but. had passed the thousand mark. Had cone above 1,100 and then crawled past the 1.200 mark. Then. with the total at exactly 1.307 games he was benched. He was still able to play. but his legs were faltering. His batting eye never strong. had grown dimmer And the Yanks were in a hopeiers state of disintegration. He was benched as one of the moves made in a vain hope of rejuvenating the club. His record probably never will be equalled. Baseball is a. fasted game season now. xenon-a1. mam IL. W. . Pct.

Without knowing it. many golfers unconsciously permit all their weight to fall snlo the right les v during the ad- dress. The weight should be square- ly on b'othJeet during the ad- dress. or if any- thing throw all of it onto the left foot. Never have all of it on the right foot, since sving it so pi cad will result in body w e a v i n g. o r swaying. in the back swing. If .the weevln g , doesn't take place. the chances are the right hip ' will project outward too much and cause a dip. When the weight is on the left foot in the address the right leg catches the weight at the start‘ of the back swing. then stif- fena to arrest it. Thus it automat- ically does its work correctly. Often you see good golfers lift the right heel off the ground Just before they start the back swing-a gocr prac- tice. They throw the weight for- ward. then back. (Copyright. John F. Dille Co.)

It is the first time that the blond-haired Harlem boy has risked the crown since win- ning in from “Cannonball Eddie" Martin at Madison Square Garden early last spring” The champion and the challenger quit training yesterday and thdre is no doubt that both will be comfort. ably under the bantamwelght limit of 115 pounds when they weigh in at the offices of the New York State Boxing Commission this afternoon Friday, Bout at Coney Island Stadium—- Bridgeport—411m Sev- . eral Scraps Scheduled for Summer—Ex- “. pects to Meet Bbl‘lenbach Next Month lutloy expects to rep'bat Jimmy Slat- tory‘s knockout. victory over Burke although he is hopeful of putting over the feat in shorter order.

For Shea. it was com- paratively.easy to make the weight. but for Rosenberg it was a. long. hard drill. The indications we" yesterday that Rosenberg will scale about 117 1-2 and Shes about 117. When Rosenberg challenged Mar. tin for the title it was freely pre- dicted that he couldn't make the weight. He had been boxing at 122 and 123 pounds. He \anlc in for that fight looking like an emaciated ghost and weighing 110. incident- ally he put up the best fight of hi. career. Shea appears to have established quite- a follmving here. and it would not be surprising if he should en- tor the ring tonight a slight favorite in the betting over the champion. The sharpshooters along the gay white \vay appear to like his chanc- es. The conservatives, however. in- cline to the belief that Rosenberg is going to be much too fast and far too clever for the Westerner. Charley Phil has I picked and tan- talizing left. hand when he cares to use it. If he uses it tonight to any great extent he should pile up the points very rapidly.
