MONTEVIDEO. March 1—The Unit

In conduct toward South and Central

American correspondents in an inter-

Dr. Boero made

the prejudice reported to
atthft iaJSouth America against the
United States because of actions taken
at various times reflating the
affairs mi some of the less stable republics
in the tropic zone.
'Uruguay," he replied, "thoroughly
understands the United States and
the reasons for its actions. However."
some of the nations that have had
difficulties with the United States
may not understand the North American
position. Furthermore, there are
n number of agitators throughout
South America willing to play upon
the minds of the people to influence
them against North America and to
make them believe that the great
northern republic is actuated by a
spirit of aggression.
'Therefore permit me to suggest in
the interest of American solidarity
and universal good will among American
republics that the United States
Sot only be but seem to be right in its
dealings with South and Central
American republics. The facts and
the appearances should coincide/'
Discussing the League of Nations.
Dr. Buero declared that without North
America it could not be a success. It
could not do without the physical,

.Dr. Buero waa asked whether he

with the League of Nations.
"Moat certainly I do not." he replied.
"The Americas, if they wish
to retain the world influence that is
coming to them must have an American
solidarity. Before a meeting of
the League at Geneva the Americas
should hold a meeting of their own to
determine the policies that the Americas
desire and by presenting a solid
front make their, influence felt much
more powerfully.

By Jack Veiock,
International News Sporting Editor
NEW YORK. March 1.—Anyone who
believes the road to pitching fame is
paved with roses may find proof to
the contrary in the record of Stanley
Coveleskie.
The star of the 1920 world's si Ties
found the highway that leads to baseball's
hall of fame steep and rocky.
He had to work harder than the average
pitcher because he is a disciple
of the spitball. and as such suffered
from wildness which he was
unable to remedy for a good many
seasons.
Today the star of the Cleveland Indians
stands out as one of the most
sensational pitchers baseball has
known, and enjoys the distinction of
being one of a select quartet of twirlers
who have won three games and
lost none in a single world's series.
In addition to this fine record Coveleskie
ranks as one of the greatest
pitchers of the age, and, thanks to a
sane ruling made by the major league
rules committee, after the spitter was
put under the ban, "Covey" will be
enabled to continue in the use of his
pet delivery until he comes to the end
of his trail as a big league star.
During the 1920 campaign Coveleskie
and Jim Bagby were the men who
shouldered the burden of pitching Tris
Speaker's Indians to their first American
League pennant. On the season's
work Bagby finished with a better
record for games won, but in spite of
this fact it was Coveleskie who stepped
into the breach when victories
were most needed and turned back
the opposition. It was Coveleskie's
consistent pitching in crucial series
and his fine work in the world's reries
that landed the Indians their world's
championship.
Back With Indian*.
"Covey" will be back in the harness
witht he Indians again this year and
Cleveland fans are hoping that his
good right arm will not fail, and that
his control of the spitter will be Just
as effective as it was last year. Last
season the world's series star took
part in 41 games. Out of this number
he turned in the fine toal of 24 victories
against 14 defeats for a pitching
percentage of .632. He faced 1,138
batsmen and gave up 2.48 earned runs
per nine innings.
Opposing batsmen got 65 bases on
balls off of him and base runners
managed to steal 14 bases while he
officiated in the bex^He won the
strike-out title for the season by fanning
133 batters, and four hit batsmen,
coupled with one lone wild pitch all
season, offer mute evidence to the
manner in which he has learned to
control the moist delivery.
What will Coveleskie do this year?
Indications are that with the spitter
given a new lease on life and the
same fine team that won the world's
title behind him, he may continue on
his winning way. He may even turn
in more victories for the tribe than
he did last year, and if the Speakerit
es manage to battle their way into
another world's series, tfc jrjty nave
another chance to show the baseball
world what a hard-working "fogballisf*
can do.
Started in 1908.
It was hack in 1908 that "Covey"
first broke into the box scores as a
professional player, and it took a hip
part of his twelve years to lanr! him
in the select class of pitchers who
win rank among the greatest the game
has produced. He got his start with
Shamokin, Pa., in the Atlantic League,
an independent organization and from
there went to Lancaster in the Tri-
; State League.
In 1912 he was purchased by the
Philadelphia Athletics. As a member
of the Mackmen Coveleskie was anything
but a success, and Connie Mack
sent him to Spokane, of the Northwestern
League, because the penentage
of earned runs made off his delivery
In games pitched for the "A's"
was so great that Connie evidently
figured him dead weight on the payroll.
In 1915 Portland purchased
"Covey" from Spokane and the following
year he came back to the
American League as a member of the
Indians, where he has been ever since.
One of his best years up to 1920
was the season of 1919 when he won
24 games and lost but 11 for the Indians,
appearing in 43 pastimes.
Mainstay in Series.
"Covey's" work in the recent world's
series was altogether brilliant. He
started the first game for the Indians
in Brooklyn and turned in a 3 to 1
victory, pitching against Marquard,
Mamaux and Cadore. He came back
in the fourth game against the Fame
pitchers, with Jeff Pfeffer to beat,
and the Indians romped away with
the victory, 5 to 1. In the seventh
game he pitched shutout ball, down-

STARR'S DEATH C0N6EUDES
25 YEARS OF MOST DARING
OUTLAWRY IN SOUTHWEST.
(By Associated Press.)
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 1 —
Henry Starr, who died at Harrison
Ark, from a bullet wound received
while attempting to rob a bank, wa3
known for a quarter of a century
throughout the Southwest as one of
the most fearless outlaws of the wild
days that preceded .statehood in Ok-

Starr was born fifty years ago in
Foit CJihson, Okla. His father was a
respectable full blood Cherokee ludan.
His first robbery was committed
in 1SJ2 when he held up an express
omce at Nowata, Oicla. He was
arrested, jumped his bond and killed
Floyd Wilson, u deputy United States
marshal, who attempted to arrest
him.
His first bank robbery occurred in
18f)3 when he held up thoCaney, Kartsat,
Valley National Bank and secured
$4,000. Scores of outlaws
flocked to his standard following this
bo'd stroke and he became the recosnized
leader cf the band.
Following a series of crimes in the
lnaian Territory he was arrested by
ing and later returned to Oklahoma
In 1915 be held up a bank at Stroud
