Coveleskie Earns Right to Be
Pitcher in the Major Leagues
Detroit, M'.ch.—Covaleskie, the first
of the recruit Tiger pitchers to get a
trial in an American League game,
came through with flying colors and
made himself a position on the pitch
ing staff of the club, in spite of t .e
fact that he failed to win the game.
He didn’t win because Earl Hamilton,
the acrobatic Brown southpaw, pitch
ed just a little bit better than Covte
and the Browns found him at just a
little more timely moments. The
Rickey gang won the game 2 to 1,
but it was no disgrace to the big Pole
to have lost.
Covie is without doubt the soifth
paw that Manager Jennings has been
looking for lor some time without
avail. He wanted him to finish up a
pitching siaff that since the time it
Killian lias lacked a real left-hander.
Covaleskie showed a good fast bail
with a nice hop, a sharp breaki- %
curve and a peach of a slow ball that
had the Browns guessing. His con
trol was very good, also.
The Tigers have thus far failed to
do any hitting. There isn’t a man on
the club who is macing in his true
form except the men who never hit
anyway. Weak hitting, moreover is
to be expected in the spring. Ty
Cobb explains it by saying that there
are two reasons for it. First, the bat
ting eve takes longer to get into
shape than the pitching arm. Second
the batteri get into the habit ot
swinging too much at the minor
league pitching that they see on tne
spring trips and they have to over
come ihe habit formed there and bo
more careful against the big leaguers.
However, it always happens that a
club finds its hitting eye and starts
to pound the pill over night. The
Tigers are hopefully waiting for the
night in which they shall find their.
If they do and the pitchers keep hand
ing out the kind of ball they have
thus far, the Tigers will win some ball
games.
Browns a Stronger Team.
The Tigers found tne Browns a
much improved ball team under
Rikcey. Rickey has them fighting
and playing real baseball. They were
also hitting much more timely during
their series here with the Tigers.
Gus Williams, the outfielder, looks
like the most improved player of the
bunch. He hit over .500 here, stole
two bases and made some three-ring
catches in the outfield. Leary, the
new first sacker, is a very peppery
individual and made a hit here. Bob
by Wallace surprised the crowd by
starting the season at shortstop and
playing fine ball. He looked good
enough so that Bisland was allowed to
go to the Naps to protect them in
case Charman couldn’t get back.
Wellman. Hamilton and James all
pitched Tine ball for the Browns.
The process es weeding out the un
necessary members of the Detroit
club is going on row. Men are being
placed as fast as thev can. Walter
■ Plnp was the first to be released after
Detroit was reached. This young
man is a first hns'-man who was farm
ed out last year He returned to the
Tigers for the spring training a much
improved ball player. He hits left
handed, however, and Manager Jen
nings wants right-hand hitters. So
George Burns, the Sioux City product,
had the call over Pipp and has started
the season at first. There was a time
when Plpp looked good enough to be
kept in spite of the fact that he hit
left-honded. but when Burns showed
up well in league games Pipp was
allowed to go. That leaves Burns and
Gainer for the Tigers’ first sack.
Pipp wag Pent to Rochester with
the understanding that he can be re
called at the end of the coming sea
Bon. He will be under the personal
Instruction of Johr Oanzel and it was
Ganzel’s promise to develop him along
Jenning’s desires that caused the
youngster to be sent to Rochester.
Taken by Sox as a Habit.
Ray Demmitt was the second Tiger
to allowed to go After all tbe
American League clubs had waived
on him, Chicago decided that it want
ed him and took him at the waiver
price, $2,500. Demmitt came to the
Tigers by draft from Montreal. He
was highly recommended as a classy
outfielder and a fine hitter. He show
ed some great fielding In the South
with the club but failed to hit. The
White Sox have taken outfelders from
the Tigers before. They got Matty
Mclntyre and he made them a good
man jor awhile. They got Schaller
last season and he lasted onlv part
of the yead, going to the Pacific
Coast where he is now
Tom Fitzsimmons is the next man
slated to go He had the impossible
task of heating Donie Bush out of his
lob at short He is slated to Join the
Sacrament" club of the Pacific Coast
League He is a cracking good short
stop as far as his fielding is con
cerned and he is improving in his bat
tine right along
There is nothing new in regard to
Comstock, Reynolds, Cavet and Claud
Williams, the doubtful pitchers among
the Tigers. Two or three of them are
to go. but they haven't been placed as
yet and until they are Manager Jen
nings is keepihg mum about what he
thinks of them except that they are
ail showing improvement right along.
Jean Dubuc looked good in his 13-
inning game against the Browns His
slow ball was fine and he had excel
lent control. He threw his knee out
while working in the box. It bother
ed him a great deal ' all during the
latter part of the game. It was fear
ed that his old injury would return.
However, he appeared for his work
outs daily after a rest of a couple of
days and was able to act as relief
Sunday, and is due for his regular
turn from now on. He had his knee
bandaged up to protect it. It was
bandaged so tightly that when lie
twisted it and threw' one of the liga
ments out he couldn’t get it back
again. He can usually throw it right
back.

All secrecy regarding the yacht was

The actual dimensions of the yacht

She looks to be about 17 feet over-ail,
21 feet beam and 13 1-2 draught.

in that event in the seventeen yars the

English team won the remarkable race
by a scant eight inches.

THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
Alec Hightower, colored, wax said
to have violated the 690th section of
the Code.
Some months ago he bought a pair
of shoes 115.50) and a suit of clothes
(price unknown) and signed a
"receipt” for them. He * has
been paying a dollar every once in a
while ever since. The last payment
he made was on April. 6th. Now yes
terday, being Friday and one day re
moved from pay-day, two white men
came to his house while he was not
there and began foreclosing on his
furniture. (Alec, not being able to
read, was unaware that the "Receipt”
he had signed was a mortagage on
1 Red, 1 Dresser, 1 Wash-stand, 2 Ta
bles, 5 1-2 Chairs, and 11 Pictures.)
His wife, when she saw what the white
men were doing, remonstrated with
them not to take her furniture the
very day before pay-day. Bhe said
she would be able to pay the dollar
today (Saturday). Hhe said she would
send for her husband and try to get
the money now. But the white men
were obdurate and proceeded to movo
wash-hand-stand out into the yard.
And his wife thereupon sent for Alec
anyhow. Just in case.
Alec arrived m'.i out of breath from
his work Just as the white men were
moving the dresser out onto the porch
He was utterly demoralized at seeing
his household goods being taken from
under his v"ry nose, "Look here!” he
called out "don’t take my furniture
out my house!” He laid down his
shovel by the gate and ran up th»
path. The white men paid no atten-
Ition to him, and he caught one of
(hern by the waist and pulled him
away hurriedly, like a disturbed ani
mal uaklng Pack into Its den. He
didn’t understand what was happen
ing to his furniture, he wasn’t going
to let anybody take It away from
him.
So the white men had him arrested
for disorderly conduct, and he ans
wered the < harge this morning before
Juddge Irvin,
lie showed to the court the various
receipts which he had. for payments
he had made on the clothes and shoes.
He couldn’t read himself so that he
was not sure how much he still owed,
but, Judging from the number of re
ceipt*, |t could not have been much.
And now, at the last minute, to lose
his furniture after having paid all that
money was more than he could hear
The Recorder’s Court has no Jurls
dktlon to see that Alec gets
red?ess«d for his wrongs, or that ne
he allowed to retain his furniture, all
that Judge Irvin could do was to dis
miss his case which he did. Appar
fntly the law will decree that If the
