COVELESKI HOPE OF DETROIT

Tigers’ Chances for Pennant Depend Largely on Consistency of the Veteran Southpaw. Detroit’s chances for a pennant this season depend largely on the form and consistency shown by Harry Coveleski, the veteran left-hander. Coveleski at present Is In wonderful form. When Coveleski is right there is not a better pitcher in the game. He has all the speed, control and knack of crossing the batter that is possessed by the best hurlers in the country today. But he has always been erratic because of bis varying physi-

cal condition. Apparently , his arm never troubles him, but at times he gets in such bad shape that he cannot stand the pace. As long as Veach, Cobb and Crawford keep up their safe volleying, Jennings need not fear of losing many close games. But he must have good pitching to win, just as any other club must, and to have this during the present campaign it is essential that Coveleski keep in condition to take his turn in the box.
