WATCHING OTHER PITCHERS HAS MADE
HIM A SUCCESS, SAYS JACK C00MBS
Athletics Star Gives Reason
for Improvement His Work
Has Shown.
SIZES UP OTHER
GREAT TWIRLERS

There has always been so much discus
sion in regard to the art of pitching that
a Young man who aspires TO be a Dig
league twrler is likely to become very
much confused, especially when he reads
and rereads the many opinions given by
successful boxmen which are printed
from day to day in different publications.
Not every man can be a Mathswson.
Ford, johnson or Overall. no matter how
great his aspirations. simply because he
does not possess the qualities whlch
bring these great pitchers their continued
success. All of these twirlers OF whom
have made note have some particular
ball to which their success may be at
tributed Ii is a treat for the man VINO
is interested TO go to game and watch
the headwork of the master slab artists,
how they spin the ball through the air
with almost any curve they desire, and,
what is more to the point. with absolute
control.
Ford is the greatest youngster nave
ever seen. and the way he manipuiates
the sphere is wonderful indeed; first one
way and then the other with almost per
feet control of both shoots or slides.
That's his success.
Johnson relies entirely upon his great
speed. while other artists resort to
favorite ball to Tighten their Work.
Many times have been ASKED. for an
explanation OF my success on the mound
I cannot conscientious:y answer the Dues
ton, because 1 do not see wherein | have
any better curves than In previous years,
when I was not considered 60 successful.
Neither can see wherein / have any bet
ter control than formerly But the one
fact that has come home to me is when,
where and how to use the d!nerent
curves. l do not mean to say that all
balls are curves. as can recall many
games this year in which | did not use
a dozen curve balls. Instead / was using
a high fast one. which the opposing bat
tiers would hit high in the air: making
easy chances for the men behind me
For four years 1 have been III the big
league. and during this time l have FOL
lowed every move of the great Iwirlers
In the Johnsonian organization l stud.
led them with the idea in mind or learn
ing and utilizing their successful points
Not until this year was 1 able to DO any
thing which would warrant any other
pitcher TO look upon me as l regarded the
stars during my first three years IN the
American League.

Better Prepared in 1910.

What do I think of the Cubs? AS l
said before. I know only what l have
heard and read about them 1t only
stands TO reason, though, that the Chi
cago team Is a great one. You only
have to look at the record Of the club
and the PLAYERS TO be convinced OF that
Unless the Cubs formed formidable ag
gregation they wouldn't be leading the
league now. nor would they have made
a great fight last year and won three
pennants before that. It's great team
Chance is directing.
Yes. 1 have read what Ty Cobb and
HdgEey Jennings have said about my
team Its very nice to read that
Cobb picks US as the probable winners
over the Cubs: but II didn't injure us
when Jennings said We would probably
be beaten. When you come right down
to the selections that fans-and many
wise fans-make it's interesting.
and Jennings and a bunch Of others can
doesn't make us lose. Nor do the pre-
dictions OF others that We are superior
to our opponents help US to beat the
other fellow.
When you come right down to II, you
have to got your men out there on the
diamond and play, and win II possible.
And We are going out TO play and play
To win.
las matters now stand I like MY team

we are better prepared to meet the
National League winners than we were

have they. We have demanded the
elimination of the Southern Pacific
company in politics and-after sixty
years In politics-3o have they. And
then to mako the counterpart exact,
we absolutely failed to indorse the Re-
publican president of the United
States, and so did they.
''And do you wonder then, my
friends, that In the name of this state
of California I congratulate you upon
this remarkable situation? Now we
have no particular complaint. We well
come them. We are glad they have at
last seen the light. 1t may be SO that
it might hurt some of their eyes, but
they have come in the broad sunlight
of noon and we congratulate them
upon their stand and their redemption
and we wish that they would come all
the way over and fight under the DEM
ocratic banner.
"Now my running mate has well
called your attention to the fact that
there are no great national issues in
volved in this present campaign. If
you elect Tim Spellacy lieutenant gov
ernor of this state and confer the gov
ernor's office upon me we shall enact
no tariff legislation; we will not be
called upon to establish any new cur
rency systems; we shall have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the colonial
across the sea, but we will be con-
cerned entirely and solely with the
local affairs of the state of California.
TO GOVERN HONESTLY
1--WE will be called on to concern our
selves with a fair, honest, clean ad-
ministration of the laws of this state,
the laws you have enacted. 1t will be
our duty to execute the will of the
people of this state as expressed in
its constitution and In its laws.
"Of course, the first thing we pro-
pose to do-and our election will make
il conclusive-is that no public SER
vice corporations shall be permitted
to invade the legislative halls of this
state and dictate to it's executive de-
partment or place its own men on the
judiciary of the state of California.

1t is interesting to know Nine. Gu
rie's opinion on the two most obscure
points in the study of radium.
II think radium is an unstable ele
ment composed of atoms which under
go spontaneous transformation and
that helium is one Of the products of
this transformation.
"Radium is a distinct chemical ele-
ment in the sense attached to the word
by chemists"
One of Nine. Curies recent achieve
ments has been to explain the true ma
ture of polonium, a strange metal
which she discovered years ago.
Polonium is about 5000 times more
rare than radium, and 1t is doubted
whether there is more than pound of
pure radium in the whole world. Po-
lonium loses weight and disappears in
40 days, while radium will take thou
sands of years to be exhausted. Po-
lonium is an active germicide and de-
stroys certain types of ulcers.
Polonium is one of series of allied
metals. Uranium decomposes into Joni
UNI. Ionium decomposes and forms
radium. Radium gives Off emanations
which change from one substance to
another, and one of these Is polonium.
1t is suggested that lead may be the
relic of radium left after thousands of
years of activity.
Polonium would work miracles il
there were enough of it. A grain of
polonium would heat 100000, 10000
gallons of water two degrees An
ounce would tow battleship 2.5OO,O0O
miles. The same quantity would drive
a fifty-six horsepower automobile 400
times around the world at a rate of
thirty miles an hour.
Radium and polonium are produced
from pitchblende. mineral which was
formerly thrown away after it had
been used for the extraction of urani-
