HEAVY SALARY SIGH
eBy Assocsnred rress,

SHAMOKIN, Pa, July g.
Number Harry Coveleskie among
those men who figure they were
born 80 years too soon.
Coveleskie, who pitched for
Detroit in the years just preced-
ing the first world war, signs
whenever he hears mention of
the $4,000 or more salary Buck
Newsom is getting because he
won 81 games last year.
Why, he says, Il won that
many in 1914 and % in 1915 and
1916, and do you know how much
I was getting? After winning %
games in 1918, Frank Navin
raised my salary to $5,400. And
the next year, while / was hav-
ing my best season, Navin said:
You're getting entirely too much
money. I'll have to cut YOU.
And he did, down to $4,000
Coveleskie had a $50 pitching
percentage during those three
years.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.--Gus Man

Like the rider who started out

Tying the horse. the 36-year-ol
backstop began the season pri-
marily as an instructor for young
batteryman but became the
hero of the Redbirds' pennant
drive.
/ He was catching only the rookie
pitchers. But when Walker
( Cooper broke shoulder early
in the season Gus stepped in as
the regular catcher. Week after
week he caught every day, some
/ times twice day
Later Don Padgett was hos
pitalized and Gus was the only
catcher on the squad.
Getting Old? Ha!
Now where are those guys

4 Cooper gets back into the game
He is a fine young prospect and
needs the experimental we'll
need him in the World Series.
! Although Gus doesn't hit the
ball as often or as far as he used
to, he still is dangerous batter
I in a pinch.
! Mancuso's greatest achieve
ment, of course, has been his
magnificent handling of young
I pitchers. Their success saved the
Cards this year-and may win
them the pennant. Mancuso's
steadying influence and Stabiliz-
/ ing effect behind the platter can
not be overlooked.
/ He chatters encouragement to
the youngsters constantly. If one
gets in hole Gus calmly walks
out to the mound. puts an arm
around him and says:
you're all right, kid. Now,
take deep breath and let's make
a clown out of this guy"
One, day bespectaeled Sam Ma
hem was in such a spot. The bases
were loaded with only one down.
Gus went out and whispered a
few magic words in his ear, Six
of the next eight pitches were
strikes and the side was retired.
Sees Pennant Triumph
The big catcher is an inspira-
ton to other players, too.
Mancuso believes the Cards
win win the pennant if the in
jury iinx doesn't hang over them
too long.
'tIf we don't win out we're the
team they'll have to beat, he
said with the pride of mana
ger.
He thinks the Cards have two
of the best young pitchers in the
