SWIMMERS TO HOLD
TITLE EVENTS HERE

Both man and woman swimmers will
have a chance at the South Atlantic
titles here next Saturday at the
second open meet to be staged in the
Wardman Park Hotel pool under the
direction Of Jerry Mangan.
For men a 150-yard back stroke
swim for the sectional title is carded
along with a 80 yard free style event.
Women also will strive for the South
Atlantic championship in the 150-yard
back stroke and in addition will con-
test the 90-yard breast stroke, the 60
yard free style event and the fancy
dive.
Lieut.. w. G. Farrell, South Atlantic
breast stroke champion and winner of
second place in the back stroke swim
at the Washington Canoe Club meet
week ago, will represent the Paddlers
in the title swim, while Jerome Shear,
Horace McMullen and III. M. Miller
carry the Washington Canoe Club
colors in the 90-yard breast stroke.
Ena Pettingill and lone Whaler Of
the Capitol Athletic Club will attempt
to annex the prize in the other title
event. Their organization also will
have numerous entries in the other
races and the fancy dive.
Registered athletes must send in
their entries before 6 o'clock Thurs
day in order to compete.

Everybody figured that the left
hand reserve force which was at
tached to the Washington team
would be the big auxiliary factor to
the Barney Boat, but while the south
paws are paving about fairly well.
it is the giant Pole of the coal coun-
try, who couldn't get above mediocrity
with Cleveland in 1924. as he won
game less than he lost, who IS put
ting his Samson-like shoulders to the
National Capital and holding 1t up,
not tearing it down.
In Cleveland they are more than
wondering why Speaker let Coveleskie
go. Those who know why the trade
was made understand the cause for
it and why Speaker was willing to
pass him on, but Iris couldn't have
played better into the hands OF the
Washingtons, if he had given them
the fourth ace by scratching around
in the deck until he found it.
1t was thought that Coveleskie was
through on Lake Erie because in the
Springtime there is a raw, bitter
wind biting in from the lake which
affects the arms and legs of ball
players. Covey's arm always sang
in a minor key when that wind blew.
Instead of staying thawed out after
he had warmed up at Lakeland, Fla,
Evening star., 1925-07-20

he froze again. Then he had to sit
before the fire and thaw out all over
for the second time. When he got
warm again the season was well ad-
vanced and the Cleveland club had
not much use of him. Speaker
wanted to get pitchers who had
natural fur covering on their arms
and would remain warm in spite of
the Cleveland cold.
1t also is probable that there was
a suspicion in Cleveland that the spit
ball had wrecked the Coveleskie arm
as it has that of every other pitcher
who has essayed to throw 1t day
after day. 1t Is no kind of ball
for a sane guy to pitch.
Griffith took Coveleskie and they
laughed at him. When a man kidded
"Griff" at Tampa about loading him
self with an old mans home, and
especially kidded him about taking on
Coveleskie. the Old Fox grinned and
replied:
We'll, once I pitched myself and
know that now and then these old
birds warm up when they live in the
sun all of the time, and surprise you.
Down in Washington it is warm
Maybe this Coveleskie will fool some
of you guys"
