Quinn and Coveleski
Deals Closely
Parallel

The cases of Coveleskie and
Quinn are parallel in more. ways
than one. Labeled call through"
Cleveland released Coveleskie to
Washington during the winter
at the waiver prize Of $4,000.
Covey has done wonders for
the. champions. He has kept
the monarchs of the diamond
in first place.
Boston tried to chuck Quinn
ION the scrap pile. Mack claimed
him. 1t cost the tall leader. of
the AS only $4,000.
It seems to be unanimous
that if Washington doesn't win
the pennant this year it will
be the Athletics. What's more,
if Washington does retain. the
title it will be Coveleskie,s
work that made it possible.
On the other talon, if the
Macks nail the flag to. the
Shibe Park staff, it promises
to be or Jack Quinn who did it.

- AND AFTER
sy ROSS coNKLIN-

Golfers from the Washington
Golf and Country Club, and from
the Columbia Country Club, had
their games geared in high in the
matches against Indian Spring and
Bannockburn in the five-team
league. They romped home with
lopsided victories, though some of
the glory went to the losers.
Bannockburn sent it's star, George
Vofgt into winning action against
Miller B. STEVENSON, tough Gus
toner on any links. STEVENSON is
pretty close to the top of his game.
and he gave the former municipal
links champion a right merry fight.
They stood all even at the sixteenth
tee, but Voigt ran down a some.
what easy birdie three for one up.
A. gallant effort to even the match
was made by STEVENSON on the sew.
enteenth hole. He was almost hole
high on his drive, aId he had a
fairly difficult putt for a birdie
three.
Mr.. VOigt it seems. pulled
another Of his famous long pntts
out of the bag and got a birdie,
while Stevie had to be content
with par four. That ended
that, and except for w. Il.
Prendergast and Doctor T. j. W.
Brown no Bannockburn player
was able to get any points:
Harry KrauSs did finish even.
BannOckburn got five points,
while Columbia got twelve.
In the Indian Spring Washing
ton matches, the former had Il.
l.. Rose to thank for its lone vic
tory. He went in against George
p. Lynde and came out smiling.
Frank Roesch and Roger Coombs.
two youngsters who emigrated to
washington from KiFkside played
the leading roles for Washington.
The point score was Is for Wash
ington and 1 for Indian Spring.
Both clubs had star shooters out
of the lineup, Tom Moore peing
absent from Indian Spring, and
Walter. r. McCallum being unable
to play for Washington
|. If. is difficult to see how. any
team of municipal golfers can beat
the combination that Washington
will, send up to the Garden City.
The writer has seen Charlie Nc
Court and Cliff Richardson, Balti-
more municipal champs play, and
any one of the six leaders here
could beat them, given an even
break in luck.
John Shorey, A. L. Houghton,
Bill Mcclure, Bill Cox, Eddie Frost
and Sam Parks made up an ideal
combination. Parks, the least well
known of the bunch. is rather in
Inexperienced. but he plays good golf,
and can take care of himself.
As for the others, John Shorey
is admittedly one of the five lead
ing amateur golfers of the city.
He has proven time. and again in
tournaments that he could play
beautiful golf. He has every shot,
and he has world of confidence.
A. l.. Houghton is another who can
take a leading role. A fighter from
the word "go." Al has won many
laurels. Bill Mcclure always hits
the first sixteen in the club cham
pfonships. He has many good
shots, and he hits a wicked tee
shot. Frost is steady 7pd reliable.
The team looks like Ahre winner
from this end of the line.
