COVELESKIE AGAIN
BLANKS YANKEES
Cleveland Star Registers His
Second 2 to 0 Victory
Over New York.
HARRIS DRIVES IN RUNS
NJ FREDERICK G. LIEB.


That Coveleskie family still picks on
anything with a New York label on It.
The original Coveleskie. Harry. the left
handler. has a lame arm at present. but
his Kid brother. Stanley, Ia holding up
the family prestige most nobly. There Is
a sort OF unwritten law among the CO.
veleskies that no runs must be scored
by New York team while they are
pitching.
The younger "Covey" pitched his sec
ond shutout Of the spring over the YAM
KEGS on the Polo Grounds yesterday, the
Indians winning by score of 2 to 0.
BY strange coincidence the last time
brother Stan" painted the Yankees in
n coat OF white, in Cleveland. the score
also was to 0. In the Forest City
game he allowed four hits, yesterday
he nsrmitted Ave. one OF which might
have been recorded as an error.
Perhaps the biggest blunder of Connie
Mack's entire career is that he passed
Stanley back to the minors a few years
ago with an IN. c." tag on himA II
Coveleskie still drew Athletic pay checks.
the Yanks would be shackled and hand
cuffed whenever they play Philadelphia,
as Stan and Joe Bush could do all Msck's
pitching. Both Of these youngsters have
shut the Yankees out twice this season.
Surprise for shocker.
The Yankees unquestionably got all
crossed ~ because Lee Fohl held Coveles-
kie out for the Saturday game instead OF
pitching him against Caldwell on FRI
day. Tho regular formula is to score a
bushei OF runs for Shocker and pile up
goose eggs when Caldwell pitches. Slim
has been on the wrong side of three shut
outs, including the 2 to 0 Coveleskie shut
out In Cleveland. Hence. what would
have been more natural than for Cald-
well to have been blanked again?
As for Urban Shocker, who pitched for
the Yanks yesterday. he is all worked up
about 1t. He can't understand why the
boys treated him that way, after getting
him six and seven runs whenever ne
pitched before. Urban thinks he is the
victim Of conspiracy, and alleges those
seven runs scored by the Yanks In the
hrst inning on Friday rightfully be-
longed to him. Caldwell, not he, Is the
Yankee pitcher to be shut out. Shocker
never heard Of such a thing as not to
get any runs.
Shocker suffered his first defeat Of
the season. but pitched his best game.
And he had to pitch to keep the Indians
from the plate. In every inning but the
opening round the first Clevelander up
got on base. and they opened with triples
and doubles, yet in only two innings
could they get runs over the plate. After
getting the first man on, Cleveland tried
the sacrifice three times. but each time
Shocker Hounced on the bunt and broke
up the play.
Shocker Tight In Pinches.
His prettiest work was in the third
and fifth innings. Coveleskte opened the
third inning with a long triple over
Highs head but the top Of the Cleve-
land batting order could not send him
home. Graney grounded to Peck and
Maisel fumbled Evans's hard 1ab Just
long enough for Coveleskie to attempt to
score. Fritz made quick recovery and
got his man at the plate. Then Evans
went out stealing.
In the fifth inning Wambsganss tore a
double into left field as a starter. but
when Joe Harris tried to sacrifice
Shocker picked up the bunt in time to
nail Wamby at third.
However Harris. who was discarded
By Chance after playing with the Yam
KEGS in two games. swung a hefty bat

Chance could not see Harris with the
naked eye, so Joe has been taking re-

has made five hits. including two
doubles and a triple. in eleven times al
bat for an average of .455. He has
