In 1908 Jean Dubuc and Harry
Coveleskie collaborated in beating
the New York Giants out of Ma
tional League pennant and thereby
prevented Manager Hugh Jennings
from meeting one of his best personal
friends and one of his most illustrious
rivals, John McGraw, in q worlds
series. For, it will be remembered, in
1908 the Tigers won an American
League pennant and battled with the
Chicago Cubs for the worlds title.
Together After Five Years.
All this was in 1908. Five years
later these same two pitchers are on
the same club hoping to put Detroit
in a position to dispute outsiders
claims to worlds championship hon
ors.
Such are the eccentricities of base
ball. Dubuc was with Cincinnati in
1908. He left there some time later,
went to Buffalo for short time,
where he failed to make good, and
then departed for Montreal, where he
burned up what was then known as
the Eastern League, now the Inter
national Detroit drafted him from
Montreal after failing in its efforts
to buy him for high price.
CoveIeskie Knocked About.
Coyeleskie was of little value to
Philadelphia Nationals in 1909, and
was sent to Cincinnati. He, too, was
let go from that club. He reappeared
in the higher-class league i'll 1913,
when his fine work for Chattanooga
brought him to the fore. Inasmuch
as Detroit had an option on the
choice of the Chattanooga outfit 1t
chose the great left-hander.
The failure of Merkle to touch sec
ond base is generally given as the
reason that Chicago won the pennant
from the Giants after nose-to-nose
battle with them. But the real base
ball reason was the great pitching of
Dubuc and Coveleskie against New
York.
II it had not been for the great
twirling Of these two youngsters at
critical times, New York would have
had the pennant cinched long before
the Merkle incident.
Towards the last of the season of
1908, New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia were neck-and-neck. Cincin-
natl and Boston were rated as easy
meat for the Giants when they We're
to finish the season with them. In
spite of a tie game with the Cubs the

The end came as a thunderclap
from q clear sky. Chip, champion,
was meeting a young man who was
not considered at all in the first row
of fighters. In fact, Joe Chip, a
brother of George, few weeks ago,
more than held his own with Nc
Coy, and Mike Gibbons gave Al a
good lacing not so long back. So
Chip naturally, thought he had a
soft snap, and to tell the truth that
is the way he acted. He came into
the ring brimming over with conf
dence, and he looked to be in good
shape. His eyes were clear, and his
skin had healthy glow. He bowed
to friends around the arena and he
seemed to be tickled with himself
When the fight opened he assumed
commanding pose and swayed his
arms to and fro. He feinted and
lead with his right hand, which is
not q champions way of doing busi-
ness, and he repeated this trick sew
eral times. He was feeling his man
out. That was evident but the fact
that he continually led with his right
hand didn't appeal to some of the
experts.

As the bout lasted only one minute
and forty seconds, little time was
had in which to judge the ability of
Chip, who was making his appear
ance In New York for the first time.
Beforehand he looked to have all the
goods, and during the battle he ham
died himself cleverly. The fact that
he led with his right hand was ex-
planned as means Of offsetting the
style of Mccoy, who fights with his
right hand extended, a la Knockout
Brown. As the bell rang for the
opening round Chip came up 10 the
scratch rather aggressively. Mccoy,
crouched low, backed away as the
champion made an effort to land a
blow that was noticeably light Chip
followed, forcing, and led again, but
his blows were short. He did land a
right to the side of the head and
then he made vicious assault, but
missed both right and left swings.
Mccoy seemed frightened at this at
tack and he beat 1t across the ring.
Chip crouched and followed. Mccoy
feinted with his extended right and
Chip ducked his head a little. That
was the chance for Mccoy. He took
It, His left, his best hand, was dang
ling at his side. He whipped it into
action. Putting all the force at his
command in his effort, he let fly the
hand that was to bring him fame.
The blow landed flush on the jaw.
You could sec 1t plainly. Chip went
down with thud, and Mccoy
pranced around the ring like school
boy. As soon as the count of ten
was over he climbed out of the ring,
but he came back again to shake
hands with his defeated foe.

arise within the ten seconds. He
