When Coveleski is ri.ght there is not a better pitcher in the game.

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 Craw-ford keep up their safe volleying, Jennings Jen-nings 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 hi turn in the box.
