Lineup Today or
Tomorrow
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CLEVELAND, May 19.-Stan-
ley Coveleskie, star of the Indians
in their world series triumph Of
1920 today faces his old team,
sporting the uniform of the
Washington G4fffmen, the new
est champions of the world, and
q goodly throng of fans is ex-
pected to be out to see him work.
Coveleskie had a bad season in
1924 and came to the Griffs dur
ing the winter for Byron Specie,
pitcher, and Carr Smith, youthful
outfielder. He is in better condi-
ton this season and, though get
ting away to a slow start, has
won his last two games impress
sively and should pitch a good
game today.
Iris Speaker has now used his
three best hurlers and must fall
back upon second string men like
Edwards or Miller, either of whom
may be sent to the hill today in an
effort to bring about an even break
In this series.
Thanks to Doctor Knight, Of
Rochester, n. Y, Joe Judge may
be back in the lineup today or
tomorrow. He Is greatly needed,
too, for his speed and his hitting.
Shirley lacks Judges hitting
ability and Joe Harris clogs up
the bases.
Judge is suffering from a sprained

has been working on him since
Sunday and. instead OF having the
player on the bench for week or
so, had him walking around yester-
day. Judge felt so good yesterday
that he sneaked out to watch the
game. Further treatment last
night resulted in his walking around
today as though he had never been
hurt. 1t is possible that he may
remain out of the lineup today, but
he is almost sure to face the Tigers
tomorrow at Detroit.
George Marshall, who has heen
termed Washington greatest
sportsman" whatever that may be,
proved to be a ink in that third
game between the world titleholders
and the Indians He romped all
the way up here from the Capital
to watch them break their winning
streak by losing sloppy game,

threatens to go out and watch
today's. Something ought TO be
done abouu Marshall. He should be
locked I'D or at least kept away
from the ball yard until the Gr.ffs
have salted away the victory.
Ben Karr succeeded i'm winning

the wretched start by George
MOgridge. The Indians con-
nected for five hits in succession
i'm that first frame. With a pass
tossed i'm they brought over five
runs and took all the excitement
out of the game.
Allan Russell made his seasons
debut as a relief hurler, but he was
no puzzle to the home brigade who
grabbed four more tallies off his
stuff before Curly Ogden could
swing into action.
The Griffs did not quit. They
kept peclxing away at karr and
did score six runs. but that was
three too few to give them a draw
and a chance at triumph. 1t
simply wasn't in the books for
them to win six straight at this
time so they suffered defeat. They
never were in the game after the
first frame.
One was down in the first when
Lutzke walked. Speaker and Joe
Sewell singled. Luke Sewell doubled,
and Lee and Burns hammered
singles that accounted for five runs
and sent AIogridge away from that
place sadder but wiser southpaw.
He seemed to be all right out there
but everything he tossed up TO the
plate turned around and hurried
right out between the Grih out
fielders.
Russell, coming 70 Georges re-
lief, got by till the third when Joe
SewelI's single. his brothers sacri.

gave the Indians their sixth tally.
Russell blew up altogether in the
sixth and was not among those
present in the seventh. There We're
