AFTER REVENGE,
COVEY FACES
INDIANS
Pole Hopes to Make Former
Mates Victims OF His
Twelfth Straight
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 20.-
Stanley Coveleskie will attempt to
run his winning streak to an even
dozen today in the final game Of
the world champions on their Sec
ond tour OF the West. The Silent
Pole lost to the Indians on his
first visit out here and is all the
more anxious to land today's
game.
The luck Of the game saved that
defeat from going into his record,
but he figures it a defeat just
the same. Covey's last perform
ance in Detroit was a brilliant
effort and he should make a for
midable opponent for the Indians
today. Walter Miller, the former
Ohio State University southpaw,
is expected to oppose Coveleskie
today, just as he did on The first
invasion Of this city by the cham
pions.
The Griffmen have now won six
games and dropped seven AGAINST
the Western clubs on this trip. A
victory today will give them an
even break, something devoutly to
be wished. Two out of three in
New York will send the team
home next Sunday night sitting
pretty, with fourteen victories to
nine defeats this month.
Dutch Ruether showed excellent
form in turning back the Indians
Sunday, defeating Benny Karr 4 to
in an even contest. Only in one
inning, the fifth, which saw the
home team score two runs on four
hits, was Ruether in trouble. At
all other times he was master or his
