president OF the Confederacy recut into the
acqueduct bridge which was planned at the time
that he was secretary of war. Years ago the name
chiseled out because of the pitch of feeling
that existed in the north against Davis action in
advocating secession and in heading the Confed-

COOMBS FULF|LLS AN
OLD PREDICTION
Nerve of Pitcher Appeals to
Even Connie Mack on Day
Jack Joins Athletics.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, October IA
Walter Burnham. who was formerly the
owner and manager of the Newark team
of the Eastern League. recently told a
story about Jack Coombs. Jack is a
Maine product. and began twirling on
rural teams when 'Cy" Young was do
ing his best work for the Boston Ameri-
cans. Like every other New England
.'phenom' Of those days, the name of
"Cy' was applied to him. and it was as
"Cy' Coombs that Connie Mack heard
of him when he was pitching Colby Col
lege into base ball championships in
Maine.
Mack watched the collegian's career
and sent scouts to look him over The
result was that in 1905 Coombs started
for Philadelphia to join the Athletics,
leaving behind another championship for
Colby.
He reached Philadelphia at noon. Get
ting into uniform. he warmed up before
the afternoon game. After the contest
Mack was sitting i'm his Office talking
with Burnham, when CoOmbs entered.
Are you planning to work me tomor-
row. he asked, without hesitation.
The manager paused and thea replied
in the negative.
We'll. l thought | would ask you. Mr.
Mack. because l intend to go to the the
dlti loDlSHt vi III YOU were go
ing to use me tomorrow | shouldn't do
anything that would put me out of con-
dition.'
When the manager had repeated his
assertion Coombs went out, and Mack,
turning to Burnham. said:
What do you think of the nerve of
that recruit"
Then, as if struck suddenly by the
other side of the episode. he added:

FOOT BALL NOTES.

To many of the local devotees of foot
ball the result of the Georgetown-Pitts-
burg game Saturday came as a big sur
prise. but to those who are acquainted
with the conditions the outcome was not
unexpected. 1t is an open secret that
during the last two years Pittsburg has
accumulated a lot of experienced ma
terial and right now could probably beat
any team in the country. Last year the
Smoky city crowd lost but one game. and
that to Notre Dame. to o. and Notre
Dame beat Michigan, and Michigan beat
Pennsylvania. Besides playing against
a team of men who have had years of eX-
perience as amateurs and otherwise, il
seems that GEORGETOWN was up ailst a
bunch who adhered to no principle of
true craftsmanship and who played the
game in anything but a gent'emanly way.

american college foot bail is no longer

long ago. when kicking was resorted To
only as a defensive measure on the third

rules. however. kicking has become an Oh

rounded out eleven. This fact has been
established in many games this year, and
it il almost sure to be emphasized in the
big battles to come. The increased value
of kicking in one form or another is the
natural result of the radical changes
made in the rules last winter in the eff
fort to open up the play and bring about
safer and sancr game. 1t is hoped,
however. that the players and coaches
will not carry this feature of the game
to an extreme. as those who have learn
ell TO admire the sport developed here
will not be content with punting duel

that neither team. but particularly the

back upon. y certain amount of punting
and plenty of drop kicking add spice to
game. because of added uncertainty,
but too much punting will rob 1t of its
most attractive features.
Enough games have been PLAYED and the
season has advanced far enough to make
the assertion without qualification that
the chief aim OF those who worked so
hard last winter as members of the rules
committee has been accomplished. The
game is much safer and the players are
open to fewer and less serious injuries.
1t is possible to go even further and say
that the game is less eXhausting and
freer from much unnecessary rOughnesS,
which more than anything else opened the
way to constant unfavorable criticism.
