Personal Victory for coombs.
SO far as any one man can pc
credited with achievements which de-
pend on thes kill and brains of nine,
It was personal victory for Jack
Coombs, Connie Mack's man Of iron.
To him belongs the glory of pitching
three of the four victories necessary to
clinch the big pennant. 1t was his third
performance in six days, and what
was the best game of the three in which
he worked.
Only. once before in recent worlds
series history has feat of equal great
ness been recorded. Christy Mathew
son, in 1905, pitched and won three
games from the Athletics, then as now
champions of the American league, and
by his efforts gave New York worlds
pennant.
Two years before that Bill Dneen,
then a Boston American league pitcher,
now an umpire, won three games in
the worlds series with Pittsburg, but
Dineen's three games were spread over
a longer period of time.

0oombs owed his first and second
victories over the Cubs to his support
and to the fact his teammates made
lots of runs for him. Sundays crown
ing achievement was Coombs own. The
L.
tie he had to win against Three Fin
gered Brown and eight other Cubs,
lighting like mad demons to hold on to
the small corner. of that pennant to
which their bruised fingers still clung.
For seven innings it was tussle of
Titians with the issue hanging on al
most every ball pitched. 1t was mas
terly work by past masters in every
department. The advantage of one run
was with the Athletics save for few
minutes IN mid battle when the score
was tied. At no time did Chicago have
the lead, but so bitterly did Chances
warriors attack that it seemed as If
nothing could resist them.
Battle 10 ses-Saw Affair.
Back and forth the battlers surged in
their gruelinE struggle, each man Of
them straining every nerve and muscle
to the utmost. It was a killing pace.
heartbreaking, backbreaking, and the
biggest crowd OF the series rooted and
pulled and cheered, wondering how long
those two teams could travel at that
speed.
The break came in the eighth and
Jack Coor1bs himself led the attack
which settled the game beyond ques-
ton. His screaming single to right
was the first shot Of the volley which
drove the brave Cubs out Of their ulti-
mate trench, Kidding the defense which
has proved their stronghold for years.
