MIA, George +. Tyler, department com
mandcr. outlines the
szSiWA Tegion's position on the
K&ITSSlM question Of adjusted
SxIps&A1N compensation for for
yvNySSMN mer service men and
w&lkNN women.
Nx5ET The communication is
IN part as follows:
AT n meeting Of the national exccu-
tive committee at Indianapolis. Febru-
airy 10. special Considcratio was given
10 the question of the resolution relat-
ing to adjusted compensation passed by
the national convention at Minneapolis.
That resolution stated:
THAT while the American Legion
was not founded for the pSrpose of pro.
noting legislation in its selfish interest,
yet it recognizes that our government
has an obligation to all service meu
and women to relieve the financial dis
advantages incidental to their military
service--an obligation second only to
that of caring for the disabled and for
the widows and orphans Of those who
sacrificed their lives. and one already
acknowledged by our Allies-but the
American Legion feels that it cannot
ask for legislation in its selfish inter
est, and leaves with confidence to the
Congress the discharge Of this obliga-
ton
No Congressional Action
''Tu view Of the fact that no definite
action has been taken by Congress and
because Of the many inquiries from
members of Congress as to what fair
adjustment would be, the national ex-
ecutive committee unanimously passed
resolution after a thorough investiga
tion of 100. 900 savings bank accounts
of men who we're not in the service
showed an average increase Of S4OO.
and the average length of military serv.
ice being eight months, stating
" That IL is the sense of the ma
tionsl executive committee that all
service men aud women are entitled to
adjusted compensation in the form aud
amount Of a $50 boud for each month
Of service.
''In view Of the fact that the state
convention at Harrisburg did not adopt
a resolution opposing adjusted COM
pensation. though it did defeat one en-
dorsing it. and because the national
convention itself did not stipulate any
specific amount in its resolution, there
fore each post in Pennsylvania is re-
quested to communicate its own views
regarding adjusted compensation to its
congressman, stating the amount il
the post favors such adjustment. In
this way every congressman will have
the opinion of the posts within his ju-
risdiction."

COVELESK|E GAVE
HOODOO THE DODGE
IN WORLD SERIES
Polish SpitbaIIer of Cleveland
Indians Had Confidence as
He Took the Hill Against
Brooklyn Robins.

When Stanley Coveleskie, Indian
hurler, turned the Brooklyn Dodgers
back in the opening game of the late
worlds series 1t was eminently fit
ting.
When Convey stepped into the
preach IN the opening game at Cleve-
land and halted the onrushing Brook
lynites after they had copied two in
a row, everyone said, 1T Is good that
Stan should be the bird to turn the
trick" =
And then when the quiet, unas-
Stunning Polish gent took the mound
oct. IL and brought the series to a
close by shutting out the shattered
Dodger outfit the fans Joined in sing
ing "A Perfect Day"
For, II there was one man on the
Cleveland team who deserved the
glory of winning three games-in one
short series of seven contests it was
Coveleskie. Admittedly one Of the
greatest pitchers in the business.
"Covey" had plugged along all sea-.
son against hoodoo which he could
not dodge. The Indians failed re-
peatedly to give him a margin to
work on and he went down to de-
feat time after time while pitching
ball that should win two thirds of a
pitchers games. Whenever the In
dams lost their batting eyes Covey
was the goat. But he showed what
Is commonly referred to as quits"
by sticking TO 1t without one word
of complaint or discomfort. Covey
won "a and lost IA games, but, with
all due respect to Jim Bagby, who
led both leagues with 81 victories and
IL defeats, Covey pitched every bit
as earnestly and capably as Jim. With
the breaks coming RIGHT the Indians
would have had two hurlers above the
80 mark
But his hard luck didn't seem to

worry the former mining lad from
Shamokin, Pa. Covey had hung I'D
reputation as an opener" through
the four seasons he has starred for
the Tribe. He has opened the sea-
son for Speaker each year and has
been elected whenever possible to
start each new series with the varf-
Gus clubs. His success has been re-
sponsible for the Indians getting the
jump" on the opposition repeatedly.
To be exact, he won 10 of the 16
openers he hurled in 1890 before the
worlds series opener.
1t was natural, therefore for Man.
ager Speaker to send him to the
mound in the first battle against
the Dodgers at Brooklyn.
This games ours now" said
Convey quietly to Catcher d'Neill as
the pair warmed up. The Cool
Pole" didn't shout it. That isn't his
way. But he was dead sure of him
self and the Dodgers were lucky to
get one lone run across while the
Tribe gave CoVey three runs.
Brooklyn took the next two games
and the Dodger crowd went crazy.
So did few experts" But those
who knew Convey said. He'll win the
series alone if they give him
chance"
Well, winning three victories out
of five is doing three-fifths Of that
job you'll admit.
In those three games he allowed
Is hits. One or two of them were
gifts as he eased up bit toward
the close of the last two games. They
scored two runs off him--one in the
first game he hurled and one in the
second. The third time he white
washed them. His control is shown
by the fact that he walked just two
men In q innings. He is charged
with neither wild pitch nor hit
batsman.
That he pitched with his head as
we'll as his good right wing is shown
by the fact that he famed but eight
men. He had them hitting 'em in the
air and dumping them in front of
the plate.
His three victories in the classic
place him in the hall of the i'm
mortals along with just five other
,hurlers who have turned the same
trick Those five are Jack Coombs,
Babe Adams. Mathewson, Joe Wood
and Urban Faber. And, Convey right
fully belongs there. He is as great as
the greatest of those.
