of earned run effectiveness, was one of the leading pitchers of the major leagues last year. Throughout the sea- son Coveleskie was a difficult man to score on; he kept the oppostions S totals down to low figures, but in- yariably some feature over which Coveleskie had no control, would turn his well-pitched effort into defeat. If he held the opposing team to two runs, Cleveland was in a batting slump and would either be shut out or score only single tally. If some player on the Cleveland club contributed an ivory play it always seemed to happen in a game in which Coveleskie was the pitcher.
 Thus a proper deduction would be always serve as a true barometer of a pitchers real worth.
 Last season Luque was the out standing pitcher of the National league with 27 victories. In 1922 he scored only half as many wins, yet Manager Moran of the Reds tell me that the Luque of 1922 was just as good a pitcher as the 1923 National lea que star. He didn't get the breaks in 1922. A similar situation existed in the American league last year. only with reverse English. F. Rommel of the Athletics won 27 games in 1922 with seventh place club. Yet last season with far better club back of him he couldn't win consistently. The breaks went the wrong way. The win ming pitcher must get 'em.
