Why Coveleskie Fails in the Southern League
Harry Coveleskie formerly a Giant killer is back in the Southern League with Birmingham but flopped after being shipped there by Clark Griffith. Otto Jordan Atlanta manager realized beating him meant waiting him out and roasting him with coaching taunts. In a key game Jordan sat on first base for seven innings while Coveleskie faced few hits, until Crackers finally hit him hard. Other managers later tried the tactic but the big pitcher's effectiveness waned when batters stopped chasing his curves.

May Race Donaldson Likely Next Summer Match
Nat Cartmell likely to meet South African runner Donaldson next summer after Cartmell reports he will be in England to race. Donaldson, who beat Reggie Walker in the world’s professional 100 yard championship, and Cartmell may clash again, as English enthusiasts expect a thrilling contest. Cartmell’s best over 22 yards is near his 100 yard pace, but he improves against seemingly faster rivals. Donaldson’s 9.8 second 100 yards is exceptionally fast, though Cartmell’s supporters expect Donaldson to lose if matched against Cartmell.
