Two former breaker boys of the coal

their share toward keeping Cleveland

race. They form battery that has
been uniformly successful all season.
The ex-anthracite wonders who are
increasing In fame with leaps and

ONeill of MinoOka. Oddly enough,
both players were tried by Connie
Mack in their undeveloped stage, but
were let out. After numerous rebuffs
Stanley Coveleskic, whose brother,
Harry, won fame earlier in the major
league. unheralded came to Cleveland
this year and made good from the
start.
Covcleskic Is m iron man, and has
been worked repeatedly out of turn,
especially being dependable as n re-
lief man In close games. In q recent
series with the Mnckmen Stanley per-
formed an uncommon feat. Cleveland

Somebody will swear ont n warrant
for those Cub pitchers pretty soon on

no visible support.
No; the leading professions won't be
OvercrOwded with new college gradu-
ates as long as Connie Mack is try

Perhaps II was just common sense
that enabled the Cleveland club to
land Fred Beebe at the time they
needed him so much.
Joe Jackson has received n letter

If the Giants do not win the pen

1t Is understood that several big

that they could tip or a number Of

The Pirates have HOnus Wagner,

king of base stealers, and Al Mamaux,
crown prince among pitchers. But it's
a tough year on royalty.
