bad BREAKS HURT
COVELESKIE in '23
Despite This However, He Was
Effective Regarding Runs

Stanley Coveleskie, star pitcher Of
the Cleveland Indians, had poor sea-
| son in 1928. Had Coveleskie turned in
his usual number of victories. the In
dams would have finished a good Sec
ond. and incidentally would have
made it far more interesting for the
New York Yankees The pitching ace
of the Indians failed to reach the 500
mark, winning only IS and losing II
games. Is was by far Coveleskie's
poorest year of his major league
career.
Despite his inability to win with
consistent regularity, the American
league pitching records reveal the fact
that Coveleskie was the most effective
twirler in the organization from the
angle of earned runs.
Coveieskie was the only pitcher in
the American league to hold the OPP
position to less than three runs per
game. Usually If a pitcher is effective
enough to allow only three runs TO be
made off his delivery. he Is almost
certain TO be returned the victor. Yet
Coseleskie. with such record, failed
to break even last season, and his
work Is elassed as decidedly disap-
pointing in the matter of games won
and lost. AS remnants are captured by
winning games, that stands as the
final decision.
On every ball club there is one
twirler OF the team. When that pitcher
works the batting is invariably light
and when some player makes an error
it usually. costs the game.
coveleskie has for years oeclni ID
such an unenviable position on the
Cleveland club. When Jim Bagby was
sharing pitching honors with coveles-
